Albert johnson, Congressman, will
lock horns with Homer T. Bone this
fall and a great battle is expected.
Mr.. johnson believes he is entitled to
the colored vote because he is a Re

enabled the colored working men to
obtain employment in Northern in
dustrial centers. Mr.. Bone has al
ways been a friend to the race, has
come and gone among us and at no
time has he sighted us in any way.

knows lot of colored people. Both
are good men. Choose we between
