He contended that Governor Lam
don had shown no demonstration
of any ability to be President. "All
the Republicans can say of him is
that he balanced the budget Of
Kansas which was one-third that
of the city of Chicago, and he even
did that with Federal aid and at
the expense of the poor people Of
that state" Continuing the Mayor
said that he was sure that the
people did not want to go back
to the days of 1892 with its bank
failures, starvation, bankruptcies
and all the other miseries that
stalked the land. Those were the
things that led to revolutions, and
1.-THE people of the nation ought to
be thankful for that God-sent man,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, but for
whom we do not know what would
have become of this country to-
day."
The Mayor paid glowing tribute
to Senator Lewis and Congressman
Mitchell for the great work both
had done in Washington in helping
the President in the task of saving
America from bankruptcy, ruin and
revolution. In their association with
the President, they had absorbed
''the Roosevelt feeling" He appeal
ed to the people of the near South
Side-his neighbors-to support
the entire ticket as they had sup
ported him in the Mayoral election
when he carried practically every
Co,ored precinct in the city. The
candidates on the ticket W e e
chosen on their ability and expert
ence in the respective offices and
they could be sure that the des-
TIMES of the city, county and state
were safe in the hands of these
capable Democratic officials under
the inspiring leadership OF Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.

zen." Moreover the Senator said
that with such a plank in the Re-
publican platform, should they, by,
any means, get power, no anti
lynching bill could pass in Con.
gress.
The Senator then asked these
pointed questions: "On what basis
can the Co,ored citizens support
party which is supporting such
a platform ?" HAS it come to this
that the Republican Party has said
that it is a state right to lynch
Negro?"
rs 1t possible tnat you are 60
ing to support the Republican par
ty?" To the last question, there was
loud and long chorus of nays.
Continuing the speaker said that
the Democratic Party had also run
it's course. 1t had thought of that
condition and the time came when
there was man in Washington
Democrat, if you please, who
said that every man, white or
black, had the full support of the
Federal Government. "That man,
Franklin D. Roosevelt" declared
the Senator, lis the head of new
Democracy and in the pursuit OF
life and happiness, the only color
he looks to, is the color of human
rights"
Plants the Germ.
A real Democracy meant progress
and opportunity. The Colored Of
Chicago had helped to make it
Democratic in every sense of the
term. They had planted the germ
in 1880, they had watered it in
1892 and a President was elected
who was able to ameliorate their
sufferings. Were they going to turn
against these advocates of pro-
gress? Were they going to turn

at meeting not far from here il
1880. I recall some of the express
slons and pledges which were made.
want you to recall them so that
you may come to the conclusion
whether or not those pledges were
kept" the Senator said beginning
his speech. He eulogized the admin
istration of Mayor Kelly, whose ap-
proach and presence had given rise
to thunderous applause, and he took
it that that was the stamp of ap-
proval of Chicago's Mayor, coming
from the people themselves.
Helps Mitchell.
The Senator said that he was
pleased to work with Congressman
Mitchell in Washington, and to pre-
sent and advocate his measures in
the Senate. 'I've seated Mr.. Nit
chell in my Senate seat on one
OCCASION" declared the Senator.
The CoIored Vote.
Warming up to his address, the
speaker said for years he b a d
watched the Republican Party and
the Colored people. He had obser-
we'd the great monopoly that party
had ON his fellow citizens. The
Colored vote in the North had given
victory to the Republican candi-
dates time and again in these five
pivotal states, and had never got
ten anything for it in comparison
with what they gave. Now this
party, at it's convention at Cleve-
land, had conceived a new thought
in order to escape its responsibility
to the people whose support they
had gotten for years. 1.-THE Repub-
