thousands of colored people through
out this city openly and above board
voted for Hon. William E. Dever,
Democrat, for mayor of Chicago.
The great majority of the colored
preachers held Democrats meetings in
their churches in honor Of Judge
Dever, the colored lawyers including
Lawyer Louis B. Anderson, who be-
came one of the big colored men in
the Democratic meat house, and
thousands of other colored men and
women fearlessly boasted of the fact
that they had marched on to victory
with Hon. William E. Dever.
Not long after that city election had
passed into history the colored people
suddenly woke up in this city and it
dawned upon their minds that "all the
falsehoods and down right, bare faced
lies which they had swapped around
from mouth to mouth in relation to
Hon. Arthur c. Lueder, would bounce
Sack like a rubber ball and strike them
light square between their short
sighted eyes.
Passing over all the elections from
that time to the present we are now
in the midst Of another race fight and
bitter or hot words are constantly
passing on the side Of the whites and
on the side Of the colored people;
words and acts, which are more than
likely to bring on the worst kind Of
trouble or conflict before it is ended.
IF we had our way and the power
we would promptly jail every white
and colored person who would attempt
to ride around on the political back Of
the race question in this city.
