APPEAL TO VOTERS OF WARD 2
Continued from Page u

This is the first time in many years
that the voters of the Ward have been
given an opportunity to choose be-
tween an honest, capable and fearless
individual such as F. Irving Gray, and
the perennial Office seekers whose
names clutter up the ballots year
after year but who have never done
anything constructive for the people
in the Ward.
Irving Gray, candidate for the
Democratic nomination, is not a pro-
fessional politician. He makes no
promises which he knows he cannot
keep. But those who know him realize
that he is a friend who never turns
down a request for assistance no mat
ter from whom it comes. His record
has been one of unselfsh activity on
behalf of all the people in the Ward.
Ward Nine is good place to live
in but it could be better. Some of us
live here by choice, others because
they can't get out. Whether you live
here because you want to or because
you are forced to, you and your chill
dren are entitled to the things that
make life worth living: adequate re-
creational facilities, physical improve
ments of your neighborhood and job
security, Irving Gray stands for these
things.
May we urge you to vote in the pri-
maries for the man who best knows
the needs Of the Ward and who can
best do something about them.-Irv-
ing Gray.

area surrounding Orchard Park and
extending westerly to within one block
of the Dudley Street Terminal.
This project will comprise two Sec
tons, the first bounded roughly by
Woman Street, Hampden Street,
Prescott, Eustis Street, Dearborn
Street and Albany Street. The second
section will be bound by Ziegler
Street, Harrison Avenue, Eustis st.
and Dearborn Street.
The other project approved will be
in East Boston in the area bounded
by Maverick, New, Sumner and Havre
Streets. This site is one block distant
from the Maverick Station of the East
Boston Tunnel, and adjacent to the
old North Ferry site.
Chairman Breen of the Boston
Housing Authority pointed out that
the first four projects of the Author
ity, in Charlestown, South Boston and
the Mission Hill and Lenox Street
area in RoXbury, are rapidly nearing
completion. The Lenox Street pro-
ject is eXpeced to be totally completed
in October, and the Charlestown pro-
iect to be totally completed in Janu-
airy of 1871. The Mission Hill and
South Boston projects of the Author
ity will be totally completed in the
spring of 1871. However, it is ex-
pected that partial occupancy of all
projects will start this fall.
Thousands of applications for
apartments have been received on
which the tenant selection section of
the Authority is busily engaged, and
field workers have already started to
interview prospective tenants.
Despite the many applications re-
ceived, the Chairman stated that the
Authority welcomed more applica-
tions, so that it could be sure that
those best qualified would be accepted
as tenants.

We turned with our road and then
at last cabins began to appear. "We're
all filled up, mot a vacancy
Everything taken" over and over
again the same old refrain, until we
were about ready to drive into a field
and turn to Mother Nature for rest.
Finally, we came to a large settlement
and also station for the Red Cross.
We asked the nurse for cabins and
were told to wait minute while She
talked with the owner. Our hopes
rose to fall again for Everything was

with all improvements were excellent

the morning we started up again on
the road to Chicago, noticing as we
drove along that at all cabin settle
ments there appeared to be no vacan-
cies.
We were then less than an hour
from Pennsylvania. The sun was just
rising. AS we were about to cross an
extremely lonely and forsaken section
we were stopped by a red light There
to our right in this veritable middle of
nowhere a figure stood at the side of
the road. What a place to find a

hand, evidently herself of geisha or
eastern strain, she approached us and
inquired in unfamiliar accent if we
were going to "Lackawanna west"
Then with disappointment deeply
written all over her face, she turned
reluctantly away leaving in our minds
the thoughts of where in the world she
came from, was going to, and how
she would get there.

AS we walked up this Indiana

Dissatisfied Elk May Be Expelled
The supposed high pressure opposi-
ton made against the reelection of
Grand Exalted Ruler j. Finley Wilson,
by Edgar Brown of Washington, D. c,
blew up before it reached first base.
Many prominent Elks termed Browns
candidacy a publicity stunt. A Wash
ington delegate intimated that the en-
ergetic candidate was not a good
Elk" much less likely prospect for
the highest post it had to offer.
The grand lodge in it's Thursday
session approved and placed in the
hands of the trial board committee a
charge against Edgar G. Brown of
Columbia Lodge, Washington, recon-
mending his suspension for SO years.
The charge stated that Brown was
malicious and had broken the high
laws of Elkdom by giving to the col
ored and white press the report that
the Elk election was an "Amos n
Andy affair.""
The Elks as a whole disproved al
legged reports made by Brown against
their Exalted Ruler, and vociferously
registered their dislike for Browns
alleged statement that discord had
arisen from the election of Hon. j.
Finley Wilson.

Indiana treated US the same way,
though we could get service down the
street at DOCS Lunch. Well, we
decided that we would not spend
cent in Indiana and that we would get
out of this state as quickly as pos
sible. Unfortunately, we did have
to buy gas in order to drive over the
long, dusty, inhabited roads and long
miles which led us finally into Chi
cago. AS for cabins, we had been
warned before leaving Boston that
cabins would be hard to secure in
Indiana. We wasted no time trying
to find any vacancies but took five
minute cat maps on the road
Chicago-at last early Sunday
morning. We found it hard to believe
that here we were in the promised
land, the great Afro-American metro
polls. The streets were practically
deserted, After many inquiries and
false moves we found the residence
of my wife's aunt, and uncle Mr.. and
Mrs. James Robinson at Giles Ave.
and W. 38th St., where we made our
home after leaving the Wesley Robin
sons with their daughter, Mrs Bessie
Townsend.
Sunday in Chicago is almost the
same as weekday, which was quite
surprise to us. In the afternoon we
had the pleasure of being driven by
our hosts in their luxurious car to the
Soldiers Field. This is huge place
where Dempsey lost his crown to Tun-
ney. At this time the Chicago police
and firemen were staging their annual
thrill show. 1t was a long demon
stration of the actual experiences of
these public servants along with
spectacular stunts of skill and daring.
We learned of the Afro representation
on the Chicago police and fire depts.
of which we will mention later.
Among the guests of the city at this
event was Mayor Tobin of Boston and
Mayor Carr of Medford who were at
tending the National Democratic Con-
vention.
Monday, we arose early so that we
could see more of the city and attend
the American Race Exposition to
which we were sent as delegates and
where we were to find Massachusetts
had failed to cooperate in exhibiting
the progress and achievements of the
Afro citizens.
In the next and final instalment we
shall have many interesting events to
relate in regard to the Exposition,
the Democratic Convention, the Col
ored fire station and their great in
terest in Crispus Attacks, the meet
ing with some of our Boston boys who
have made good in Chicago, the prob
lens caused by mass migration of the
Southern Afros, the great "black
belt" etc. Be sure and get in your

attended; all seats were occupied;
other persons stood in rings about the
tent.
Following the tent services came
the most stirring event of the day
baptism in the waters of Mashpee
Lake. Thirty persons including Rev.
Fishers son were thus baptised amid
prayer and praise singing by the as
sembled hosts. Rev. Otis Barbour as
sisted Rev. Fisher.
A Christ Temple member stated
that over hundred people have re-
ceived the Baptism of the Holv
