THE REPUBLICAN WoMEN'S

One of the social events of the

More than FIVE hundred fashionably

benefactor of the colored man, Nc
Kinley tried to steal credit for him
self for its authorship.
"The anti-lynching bill sponsored BY
Congressman Dyer of St Louis, passed
the House of Representatives in 1922.
When it reached the Senate of the
United States of which Mckinley was
a member, it was referred to a COM
mittee and permitted to die. Mckinley
did not lift a finger to bring about
the enactment of the law. He was
strenuously urged to interest himself
in behalf of his colored constituents,
but fatty refused 20 take any action
towards having the bill considered. He
showed again his antipathy for the
colored race and his unfriendliness to
them.
Both colored voters and their real
friends know where he stood. Septem-
Der %, 1922, at Quincy, Illinois, Con-
gresham /. c. Dyer, the real author
Of the bill, addressed a distinguished
gathering Of colored people presided
over by Bishop Levi Coppin. In di-
rect and emphatic language Congress
man Dyer said:
I denounce Senator Mckinley Of
Illinois for gross dereliction Of duty
toward his colored constituency in par
ticular and the nation in general. If
he had made any effort in behalf of nv
anti-lynching bill, the measure would
have passed during the last session of
the Senate and would now be a law
Congressman Dyer is still a mem
Der Of the House Of Representatives
and will confirm the statement made
by him in his Quincy speech. He is
still friend of the colored people and
is still fighting valiantly to secure en-
actment Of this measure for their bene-
fit.
Senator Mckinley who refused to
exert one ounce Of energy to secure
the enactment Of this law by the Sen
ate after it had been passed by the
House of Representatives is still a

member Of the United States Senate.
He has copied and introduced Con-
gress Dyer's bill but he has not ex-
erted himself or attempted to bring
about the passage of the measure. He
will not do so because he is not a
friend of the colored people, but is the
friend of Southern Senators and voted
with them to make us join the world
court; because, after twenty years Of
experience in legislative halls of the
government, he does not possess the
ability, knowledge or influence to bring
about the passage of this measure. He
IS always an owned vote in the Senate
a man who is counted but never con-
suited, without ability or prestige, and
doomed to defeat.
"The true purpose of the introduc.
ton OF an anti-lynching bill by McKin-
ley IS too transparent to fool anyone
It is much like his death-bed repent
ance in connection with relief for the
agricultural industry.
"As a member Of the Senate. Nc.
kinley has had ample opportunity tc
show his friendship for the colored
people, but he declined to extend a
helping hand, until he needed their
votes. The colored voters Of Illinois
will not be fooled by this pretended
friendship with the possible exception
OF cases where it is backed up by his
check book. They know that McKin-
ley's belated action is the rankest kind
OF hypocrisy. He deserted Congress

The Frank L. Smith for United States
Senator Headquarters, Congress Hotel,
Has Released the Following Letter on
Senator Mckinley
Mr.. Allen F. Moore, Chairman, Managing Committee

Dereliction of duty and responsibility
for the failure Of the Dyer anti-lynch-
ing bill to become law for the bene-
fit of colored people, was the charge
brought against senior Senator Will
liam B. Mckinley by the headquar-
ters of his opponent for the Republican
nomination, Col. Frank l.. Smith, who
is chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee of Illinois. The
charge is founded upon information
given the colored people of Illinois at
Quincy on September q, 1922, by Con-
gresham i. G. Dyer, Republican Of
Missouri, and the real father Of pro-
posed anti-lynching legislation.
The statement from the Smith head
quarters said:
"In keeping with the character OF
campaign that he is conducting, Viii
liam B. Mckinley is attempting to
hoodwink the colored voters OF Illinois
into the belief that he is their friend,
In fact, the opposite is the proven
truth, shown .conclusively by his record
in the House of Representative and
the Senate of the United States.
For him to claim that his twenty
year legislative record Of unfriendliness
TO the colored people, and his lifelong
record of personal unfriendliness and
mistreatment of the colored race should
both suddenly change overnight, is a
preposterous absurdity, comparable in
its brazenness only to his unpatriotic
un-American vote for the league Of Ma
tions court and the ENHANCEMENT Of
these United States in the quarrel oil
Europe.

HON. OSCAR WOLFF CORONER
OF COOK COUNTY SHOULD
BE NOMINATED FOR BOARD
OF REVIEW OF COOK coUN-
TY

1t is unnecessary for any one to
spring forth from the grave to sound
the praises of Hon. Oscar Wolff for
he is not only one of the best public
officials but he is popular and honest
to the back bone.
He has proven himself to be one of
the best friends of colored people in
Cook County. In his recent investi-
cations as to the conditions which
prevailed in some of the county in
stitutions and inhuman treatment OF
the unfortunate colored people are
more than sufficient to cause the stony
hearted man or woman to cry out in
anguish, for colored men and women
have been turned loose in the streets
to die and there has been no redress
for them in their terrible struggles for
existence.
If for no other cause or reason,
Coroner Wolff. who is running on the
Deneen Republican ticket, should on
Tuesday, April IS. receive the vote Of
every decent colored person in his race
for member of the Board of Review.
He should be elevated as a member
of that Board whereby ne will be able
to compel the big millionaire real es-
tate owners to pay their just proper
ton Of taxes as the small tax payer.

Unparalleled in modern circus history is
the feat of Miller Brothers in contracting
the entire Imperial Russian Cossack Circus.
which showed the London Olympia all
winter as a sensational and complete show
of unprecedented hueeness and novelty,
for their l0l Ranch Real Wild West and
Great Far East.
This mighty attraction. assembled in the
Balkan and other countries from scattered
imperial hosts Of the late Gar Of all the
Russias, was acclaimed by the London
Daily Graphic as the finest show of its
kind that London has ever had" The
London Daily Express said: "0ne of the
most thrilling spectacles ever seen in Lon
don opened at the Olympia last night.
The riding feats of the cowboys at Wembly
were outdone by 260 lean, tough Cossacks. "
The Daily London Mail remarked: "The
Cossacks piled thrill upon thrill. They take
away your breath; they are almost too
much for your eyes. They must be seen
to be believed" The London Morning
Post stated: THE whole immense produc-
ton is something entirely new. Nothing
like 1t has ever been seen in London before.
The performance is simply prodieious. The
feats of Workmanship must be seen to be
believed"
That was London's opinion of the Co.'S
sack Circus as a show in itself--a huge
circus in mighty city. Now. Miller Broth
ers are adding this same Imperial Rus
sian Cossack Circus horsemen. band. choir.

In loving memory Of our dear father.
James Bradley Dorsey. who departed this
life one year ago. May 10th. 1928.
One year has passed, dear father.
But our hearts ache just the same.
We let many silent tears fall
In sweet memory of thy name.
The blow was hard, the shock severe.
Twas hard to part with one so dear.
But in our hearts you will remain
Till in heaven we meet again.
It's sweet to remember him who once
was here.
Though absent to US he is just as dear,
The midnight stars shine on the grave
OF the one we loved but could not save.
By his loving children.
