ker has made worthwhile record for
his clear cut decisions or rulings, and
in time greater and higher judicial
honors will be showered down upon
him.
Long before Judge Walker was
elevated to the Municipal Court bench
of Chicago, he was strong supporter
of this newspaper and continues to
carefully read the contents of its coli
umns every week.
Judge Walker is one Of the most
eminent Masons in the United States.
He has been travelling east for many
years; is an honored member of
Covenant Lodge No. $40, "A. F. & A.

Judge Walker has always been
rightly classed as one of the true
friends of the colored race and at this
time he is calling on all of them to
assist him on Tuesday, April Is, to
be renominated as one of the honor
able judges Of the Municipal Court of
Chicago.
WHAT DOES HE STAND FoR9
He is not on any political faction
slate because he will not take orders.
He respects his oath of Office, and in
sists on maintaining the dignity of the
Court, its prestige and integrity He
is a determined upholder Of the law for
the protection Of society.
Politicians say that the only reason
he was not placed on their slate is the
fact that he refused to grant them ia
vors; that is, release the guilty.
Judge Walker does not permit him
self to be influenced by professional
hxers, bondsmen or back-door plead
ers. Only the evidence as measured
by the rules Of law influence his de-
cisions.
