DEMOCRATS SWEEP COUNTY

TO CONGRESS
Republicans Point with PRIDE to
Alderman Daws0n's Spirited Cant
paign losing to Mitchell by only
$500 Votes. THE Political PEN
dulm is Swinging Toward
r publicaniem, Says
Alderman Dawson

Chicago. Nov. Il (By Albert G..
Barnett for ANP)-Last weekend
after one Of the most exciting
! elections held hEre since 1892, and
made noteworthy ~ .GoP efforts
to break The slranglehold Of local
Democratic leaders, both victors
and vanquished took stock of the
%wreckage and inyertoried their
respective losses and gums.
Most notable Of the victories and
tn n occasioning the most com
ment was that which swept back in
to office Representative Arthur w.
Mitchell Of the First district on
whose laurel wreath will again
be inscribed: "The only Negro rep
resentative in the halls of con-
gress." The present will mark
Mitchell's third term in his exalt-
Cd position and his victory re-
fleets the support given President
Roosevelt's New Deal program by
voters of the First district.
Republicans Of the district are
jubilant over the showing made by
their candidate, Alderman William
l.. Dawson of the Second Ward.
a World War veteran, leader in
City hall council circles, and widely
known for his matchless oratory.
They point to Mitchells victory by
the narrow margin of $500 votes
an indicating that nearly 81 600
colored voters Of the district had
again seen the light" and return
ed to Republican ranks.
Concerning the red-hot campaign
and last Tuesdays hectic climax,
Alderman Dawson said.
1--WE are not at all down-hearted
over the outcome Of last Tuesdays
election in the First Congressional
district. Rather ars we heartened
and optim sic about the future of
he Republien party. not only in
Chicago. but throughout the ma
ton. Considering the odds against
as. ! think we made a remarkable
showing. Out of a total Of about
$4,000 votes the final count show
ed me about $500 votes short by
beating Congressman Mitchell as
the First District representative.
Il certainly wish to thank all
of my loyal supporters and friends
who worked so hard and jealous
ly for my election. They, as well
as |, know that the heavy vote in
tho 1st and 18th, white Democra-
tic wards was what beat us. But
We are sure that the Negro citi-
zenry Of Chicago and the nation
are aroused as never before. The
political pendulum has again start
ed swinging toward Republicanism.
I look for still further gains To-
cally in the 1889 mayoralty cam
paign and in 1910, when the next
president of the United states will
be elected.

the elections was the defeat of
