The Broad Ax

Ald. Frank L. Bennett, Chairman Finance Committee of the City Council, a warm friend of the Afro-American race who has been indorsed for re-election by the Municipal Voters League.

Alderman Frank L. Bennett, of the 7th ward, has in the past, been a prominent and conspicuous member of the City Council. He is serving at the present time, as chairman of the Finance committee of that body. A position which he has been chosen to, for three times in succession and the labors in connection with that responsible chairmanship, are sufficient to tax, the brain of the shrewdest and the keenest businessman. that can be brought forth, in any part of the world.

In all of his Aldermanic career, Alderman Bennett, has ever stood and championed every proposition for the benefit of the people and add to the undying glory of Chicago. It was he who so successfully, planned and carried out, Chicago Day, at the Worlds Fair at St. Louis, in 1904.

Aside from his duties as chairman of the Finance committee of the City Council. Alderman Bennett is engaged, in the Real Estate business on the eighth floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building. and when his Colored constituents. call on him, they receive the same courteous consideration as men of other races. and he is one of the few men who honestly believe, that a Colored man can be a real gentleman, and as, we have . never been known, to go back on a true friend, be he white or black, Democrat or Republican. Therefore. these are some of the reasons why we favor the re-election of Alderman Bennett to the City Council.
