country need not be worried over this
abortive attack upon their constitu-
tional liberties. For, the 18th amend
ment is the ONE part of the Con-
stitution, which, together with the
Dartmouth College case, forms the
bedrock, the life and the very exist
ence Of every private corporation do
ing business in the United States.
Were the 14th amendment to be de-
clared invalid, it would knock the very
foundation from under every dollar
or corporate investment in the United
States. 1t would be an end Of bust
ness. If this amendment was decreed
invalid, within FIVE hours after the
decree such a storm of bankruptcy
and terrorism would overwhelm the
business of the country that sovietism
In Russia under Lenin and Trotzky
would, in comparison, be visitation
Of mercy and an angel Of law and
order. 1t is but the same old fight
Of the Democrats IN the South. And
the Democrats of the South are two
thirds Of the Democrats of the ma
ton. Thus this new appearance of
real Democracy presents this. object
lesson in the present campaign to the
American Negro electorate, to wit:
"The Republicans wrote this amend
ment,-Democrats opposed its writ
ing; Republicans believed in all the
Observation-Disclosures only believ-
ed in some of the amendments; Re-
publicans believe in Negro citizenship,
do not believe in Negro
citizenship, For BY their works We
shall know them
Calvin Coolidge is a Republican,
John w. Davis is a Democrat. Calvin
Coolidge believes in the right Of the
Negro to hold Office because he is a
citizen and Calvin Coolidge appoint

cause he believed he was citizen;

sioner, were both deeply interested in
its success, and they both felt proud
Of the fact that they were able to help
the colored people to that extent.
It will be further recalled that after
the race riot in this city in 1919, that
Alderman Byrne led the fight in the
City Council in favor Of awarding
damages to the relatives of those who
were murdered in the riots, showing
that he never permits the color of any
persons skin to swerve him from do
ing right.
Sunday evening Alderman Byrne
made short talk at the Wendell Phil
lips High School. He was introduced
by Rev. w. D. Cook and after he had
finished speaking Alderman Byrne was
warmly applauded. In winding up his
speech he declared that-he had, warm
friends among the colored people and
that he felt sure that many Of them
would on Tuesday, November 4, vote
for him for Trustee of the Sanitary
District of Chicago.

HON. JOSEPH S. LABUY. DEM
ocRATIc CANDIDATE FOR
JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL
COURT OF CHICAGO

In 1912 Hon. Joseph s. LaBuy was
elected as one Of the judges Of the
Municipal Court of Chicago and from
that time to the present he has hon
orably and faithfully served the citi-
zens Of this great city in that judicial
capacity.
AT his first election in 1912, he was
highly endorsed by the Colored
Voters League Of Cook County and
many colored people freely voted for
him at that election and from that
time to the present he has had warm
spot in his heart for them and like the
rest of his fellow citizens, he always
gives them a square deal whenever
they have business to transact in his
court rooms.
Judge LaBuy has occupied the Mu-
nicipal Court bench in all the branches
Of that court in all parts Of Chicago
and he has untold thousands Of friends
who always rally to his support who
assist to re-nominate him at the pri-
maries and to re-elect him to the Mu-
nicipal Court bench.
Last Christmas Judge LaBuy pre-
sided at the 4Sth Street Police Court.
48th Street and South Wabash Ave
nue., and to prove that his big heart is
located on the right side he collected
in a large Christmas fund and half of
his Christmas fund was turned over to
the Old Folks Home, 443O Vincennes
Avenue, which made it possible for the
Old Folks to have plenty of good
things to eat during the holiday sea-
son and to receive some lovely pres
ents.
The other half of Judge LaBuy's
Christmas fund was turned over to
the Y. w. c. A., 3543 Indiana Avenue.
The foregoing plainly indicates that
Judge LaBuy, like his honored
father, Judge M. "A. LaBuy, who for
many years held court at the corner
Of Halsted and Madison Streets, ex-
periences much pleasure and great de-
light in endeavoring to tighten the
burdens Of those who are falling by
the wayside in life, causing them to
feel overioyed at Christmas time.
From 1912 down to the present
time, Judge LaBuy has been con-
slant supporter Of this newspaper and
we call upon its many colored friends
as well as white friends to rally 70 his
support on Tuesday. November 4. and
do their Bit IN assisting to re-elect him
one Of the Judges Of the Municipal
Court Of Chicago.
