The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-20

IT'S precisely what you had
in Hitler Germany. They gave
you a list of candidates and
you wrote. va
Now, with the Progressive
Party on the ballot, you don't
have to vote for bad judges.
Instead, you can substitute good
judges for the bad"
And a good judge, in Miss
Harris opinion, is not only one
who is just in deciding cases,
but who also gives the public
their value for his $17,500 sal
airy by working six hours
day, and not just a couple of
hours in the morning, as most
of the sitting judges now do.
FORMERLY an instructor at
Northwestern erSity
school of social work, member
of the John Howard Associa-
ton OF Prison Reform, the Chi
cago Civil Liberties Committee,
the Civil Rights Congress, the
Progressive Citizens of Amer
lea and the Committee for the
Protection of the Foreign Born,
Miss Hart is used to fighting
for the common people.
But with a developing threat
TO the civil liberties of minor
itY groups. trade unions. and
other sections of the American
people. Miss Hart insists that
there is a need for judges who
will guarantee the protection
of the law TO Negroes who
should not be oppressed by re-
strictive covenants. TO unions
who should not be ham strung
by anti-labor injunctions. and
TO other groups.
Her reason is simple:
"If you have an honest. up
right judiciary. you don't need
to worry about democratic in
stitutions."

contested the petitions.
Meanwhile reports persisted
that Democratic leaders, who
hitherto have had clear sailing
with their Republican allies on a
n-opposition judicial slate, were
trying to induce Wilbert F. Crow
ley, first assistant states attorney,
to withdraw from the machine
slate.
The unwelcome shadow cast
over Crowley during hearings on
the suspension of two police Off
GERS, it was felt, have outlined
too sharply the type of judges
which two-party machine states
have in the past forced into office
over the opposition of the people,
according to City Hall observers.
1t was understood that Crowley,
however, was reluctant to sur
render his chances to win the
81, 500-a-year judgeship.

|she's the lawyer Of the little guyana she
|dosnt like the machines Yah BALLOT

In 1888 about 90% of the
prisoners who appeared in Wo-
mems Court-mostly On morals
charges - were convicted on
little or no evidence.
Within three years, the con-
victions had dropped to 1917
because of the humanitarian
work of battle-hardened
veteran of many a fight for
progress.
That fighter was Pearl Hart.
now one of the I'll Progressive
Party candidates for Superior
Court.
In society where the prob
lens of juvenile delinquency,
divorce, promiscuity, prostitu-
ton, and sexual perYersion are
still handled in about as en-
hghtened a fashion as in the
Dark Ages, Pearl Hart to many
experts on human relations
seems to be the torch bearer of
light.
IT'S frequently tough fight,
but Miss Hart loves it. She's
been scrapping for years, and
always on the side of the under
dog-the abused worker, the
bewildered kid who goes
wrong" the oppressed Negro,
the scarlet woman"
BY inclination I've always
been with the guy who's getting
kicked around" she explains
briefly.
And the books that line the
wall of her law office bear
witness to that interest. They're
books that deal with criminol-
ogy, divorce, civil rights, the
status of the Negro people and
women, and the social causes
that twist people until they do
strange things.

ALL SORTS of cases come to
Miss Hart, but she likes best
to fight for the rights of the
foreign-born, women, the Negro
people, labor, and adult and
juvenile delinquents.
That is one reason why she
became a candidate for Su-
perior Court judge. But there's
another reason, too.
"Under the so-called 'coali-
ton system" she says, good
judges may be retired to make
room on the ballot for bad
judges. The voters are con-
fronted with one ticket at the
polls. They have no choice.

"The coalition contemptuously
ignored our plea There was no

County.
This is no matter of party
loyalty. This is not a partisan
issue. This is a question of re-
spect for citizenship rights. a

for the rights of all.
THE coalition failed not only
the Negro. Those who chose the
judges failed justice and dem

The Progressive Party has
placed a slate of judges in the
field. If breaks with the rotten
traditions of jim-crowism and
discrimination. Three of the
ablest Negro lawyers are placed
on this slate. They are Sidney
A. Jones Jr., Earl B. Dickerson,
and Richard Westbrooks.
THE Progressive Party is COM
posed of progressive citizens of
every political faith, creed, and
color. 1t has placed the immediate
future of these men in our hands.
If we fail Them we fail our
selves. If we successfully sup
port them Negroes in other pro-
fessions will find new doors
opening.
The hour for action has truly
struck. We must make a break
with our own past. There is no
recognition of rights where
there is no struggle.
"The united strength of the
Negro people, linked with that OF
all men of good will, must be
modified against those who scorn
us, think we are open to brides,
and spit in our faces"
MEANWHILE the Cook Coun-
ty Bar Association, at a meeting
later in the wreck, took immediate,
positive steps toward the cleo
ton of the three Negro candi-
dates.
The 900 members agreed to
contact every Negro church in
Cook County with a proposal TO
send a speaker TO services one
or two Sundays before the cleo
ton. in order TO point out the
opportunity for winning judicial
representation for Chicago's
