REFLECT HON. ELLIOTT w.
SPROUL TO CONGRESS FROM
THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

In 1920 Hon. Elliott w. Sproul
was first elected to Congress from the
Third Congressional District Of this
state and from that time to the pres
ent he has made an undying record in
the lower halls of Congress. During
all those years he has worked very
hard in the interest of all the people
residing in his district, but he has also
labored hard in the interest of all the
people Of the grand old state of IIli-
nois and for the benefit of all the
people Of this great nationl
1t may be we'll to call the attention
of this newspapers readers to several
important facts or points in the politi-
cal career Of Congressman Sproul-
namely: Ever since he has been one
of the most honorable and upright
members of that body, he has in sea-
son and out of season, loyalty stood
shoulder to shoulder with Hon. Mar
ting B. Madden in all of his bitter
fights against Jim Crowism" and
Jim Crow legislation" in the lower
house of Congress. Congressman
Sproul greatly assisted Congressman
Madden in his great fight in favor of
the passage Of the Dyer Anti-Lynch-
ing Bill.
Congressman Sproul, as live men,
Der of the Committee on Postoffices
and Post Roads, freely voted in favor
Of increasing the salary Of $4,000 en-
ployes of the postal service, which in
creased the salaries of thousands Of
colored men and women who are con-
nected with the postofice department
throughout the United States.
For these and many other reasons
every colored voter residing in the
Third Congressional District of Illi-
nois should, on Tuesday, April H.
honor themselves by voting in favor
of renominating Hon. Elliott W.
Sproul for Congressman from his old
district so that he can continue to as
sist to uphold the hands of Hon. Mar
tin B. Madden.
