World Predicts Election

The election of Alderman Dawson
was predicted by the Chicago World
sometime before the election, which
its editor in company with Angus
tus L. Williams, then candidate, met
with the alderman and there thrash
ed out the differences existing be-
tween them. AT which time, Mr..
Williams agreed and did withdraw
from the race. 1t was the opinion
Of the Chicago World that if Mr.
Williams withdrew. Mr., lDawsOn
would have clear sailing SO inform
ed him, after Mr.. Williams injury
which caused his physician to in
sist that he withdraw from the race
A. L. Williams Speaks
Up until this time, the citizens
both republicans and democrats
were much aroused over the contest
and it was questionable whether
victory could have been at the Feb
ruary election, or contest run of
in April. After he decided to with
draw, the Editor Of this paper, along
with Mr.. Williams, spoke at more
than rs meetings turnout the ward
urging upon the people the import
ance Of standing behind Mr. Daw-
son and supporting him 100 per
cent. During this time, it was clear
ly seen that with those two stalwart
candidates combined, the opposition
was at bay.
Four Year Term
Mr.. Dawson, having four year
term before him, should be able tC
reorganize the much split-up Re
publican party and bring back tc
the citizens, a united party in the
second ward for the best interest:
of the people. Mr.. Dawson will, II
the near future as we'll as in thu

from twenty or more of the out

which this bill was referred to as
the most important piece OF iegls-
lation introduced in behalf of the
Negro during the last quarter of a
century.

Wifberforce University, regarded
this legislation as being the most
important effort for the Negro

couldn't see anything pretty about her hands,
but Bob had won third prize in an amateur
photograph contest with the picture.
Here's picture of my hand" the letter
read. MY hands aren't artistic, but they
are ideal hands for a copywriter. They can
pound the typewriter, and they are all the
time scribbling down ideas for ads, no matter
when they come. l even wake up at night
sometimes and get an idea. You see I'm a nut
on copywriting."
"A crazy letter." she reflected. But the
whole things crazy anyway. so Ill send it.
That ring won't give me away. l don't wear
it to the Office"
So Nancy mailed the letters, one each day.
She had only vague idea of what she'd do
after Andy received them. Go in to see him,
probably. She trembled to remember her
former squelching. Still, she knew more about
ad writing now. Maybe if he liked the letters,
he'd give her trial. Perhaps he'd train her.
And the silly girl could picture him standing
by her desk, discussing her copy, smiling with
that curious wrinkling around the eyes that
she dotted on.

inquired of Hettie, his private stenographer,

Her letters weren't making much of a stir,
apparently. She was beginning to think that
the idea was nutty anyway. Then, few days
later, she overheard Andy's assistant Cos
siping with another pen pusher just outside
the door of the filing department..

"What'd she say about the candy adsl"
Thought they didn't have enough moon

have been so bad but the Old Man himself
blew into Macs Office just as he was reading

when Andy's travel ad proofs, poor old dog
