How much more According to the enemies of W il liam llalr Thompson, who has been renominated for mayor of Chicago, "B ig Bill" must have made a pile of money out of his position during the last few yrars, but all the money lie may have made, honestly or other wise, could not buy the on* little word which I am going to say about him here without his cash, his consent or his co-operation. I do not have to "advise” Negroes to vote for Thompson; that Is just what they are going to do, whatever I or anybody else may “ advise.” All I have to do here is to try to explain to obtuse mindrd people just why those Chicago Negroes ar* going to vote for Thompson.
