Oct. 4, 1907. Dr. J.B. Prince, 3654 Central Ave., City. Dear Sir:- I would esteem it a favor if you would call at Republican Headquarters, 1004 Prospect Ave., when conven- ent for you to do so. There is a matter of which I wish to discuss with you. Very truly yours, George A. Moyers Chairman M. Even Our Clergymen Are Not Immune from Attempted Pollution in the Burton Campaign Against Senator Joseph B. Foraker. WHAT GEORGE A. MYERS SAID TO REV. B. J. PRINCE (From the Cleveland Press, Oct. 23, 1997.) In previous articles in the Press it has been shown by documentary proof, backed up by the sworn testimony of newspaper publishers and of Secretary Rodway, of Chairman Baker's campaign committee, that large sums of money are being spent to debauch the newspapers of Cleveland to support in their news and editorial columns the candidacy of Congressman Burton. It has further been proved that the material for these articles was furnished by the Concon publicity department. This article deals with both the candidacy of the "tumple place" campaign in the interest of the Concon against Mayor Tom and Scent fear. It shows that the men who are behind Congressman Burton's candidacy do not stop even at attempting to debauch the ministry, in their efforts to destroy low fare competition and turn the streets of this city over to the Concon for 20 years at the Concon's own terms. The facts stated in this article are backed up by the signed statements of two ministers of the gospel, and by the documentary evidence which accompanies this. To the extent that the statement of the Concon against the mayoralty it is necessary to state that there is considerable disaffection among the colored voters of Cleveland against Congressman Burton's mayoralty candidacy. OPENLY OPPOSE HIM. Many of the colored ministers of the city, as well as The Cleveland Gazette, the weekly colored newspaper edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, ex-member of the legislature, and one of the leading colored republicans of Ohio, are openly opposing Congressman Burton. Among these ministers are Rev. Prince, the pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church in E. 300 street, and Rev. Bailey is the pastor of the Antoch Baptist church in Central avenue. CONCON MUCH CONCERNED. This disaffection among the colored voters is so widespread that it has given Congressman Burton's campaign committee and the Concon much concern. There are about 3,500 colored voters in Cleveland and up to this campaign they could be counted upon, with very few exceptions, to support Republican candidates. The barber shop, being relied upon by the republican managers and the Concon to line up the colored voters for Congressman Burton. BAKER AND MYERS WRITE. In the statements of Rev. Prince and Rev. Bailey, which follow, they tell about letters received from Chairman Baker, of Congressman Burton's executive committee, and from Myers, asking Rev. Prince to "call and see them." The letter from Myers to Prince is marked "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL." Both the letter from Baker and the letter from Myers are reproduced in connection with this article. "BETTER TAKE THE MONEY!" In the statements Rev. Prince and Rev. Bailey tell how, in response to the letter from Myers to Prince, they went to see Myers at his place of business, how he took them into his private room, and after telling them that he was authorized by Chairman Baker to speak for Baker, told them that "THEY HAD BETTER TAKE THE MONEY, WHICH THEY COULD GET BY AGREEING NOT TO WORK AGAINST CONGRESSMAN BURTON." In urging them to take the money, Rev. Prince and Rev. Bailey say, Myers told them "THAT COLORED PASTORS ARE VERY POORLY GAZETTE. REV. H. C. BAILEY. A STRONG APPEAL To the Afro-American Voters of Cleveland, to Stand by Senator Foraker. We, my dear people, are now merging into a sad condition of affairs in this country, and must heed the appeal from millions of our oppressed people in the southland and all sections of this country, asking their brethren in the north, east, west and central states to use the only weapon they have to detrieve any and every man the president mentions for office. Candidate Burton has been sent to Cleveland by President Roosevelt to bring all republicans into line, in order that if elected he may be the leading candidate in the convention and the general assembly that convenes in 1908, to dispossess Senator Foraker of the right of either being endorsed for the presidency or of being sent to the senate, respectively. My people, you can stop this now if you will go to the ballot box in Burton and cast your ballot against Mr. Roosevelt's candidate (Burton). This is really a great struggle. This man rights for our race. "leaders" who are asking you to support a thing or an administration that will damn your race for all time to come. They are paid to tell you that you are too far from the national fight to mention this thing, really President Roosevelt plainly says in his letter that is why Mr. Burton must run, because either Foraker or Taft must be before the state convention, and the general assembly refereed the president or senator. O, my people, I think. Go down, let us go down together as men who can feel that we have done our part to help in this glorious fight to keep Senator Foraker where he can continue to do our people the most good. How dare any Negro tell us that Burton's election does not mean Foraker's defeat when Roosevelt and Candidate Burton, their success is what is when it does mean? Step and say that is when it does mean? is either death to Foraker and the Negro race, or Foraker's life and the salvation of our race. DO NOT VOTE FOR BURTON! (REV.) B. J. PRINCE. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. DO NOT VOTEFOR BURTON FREY He Frankly Admits that He Is Opposed to Re-election of By appointment on the 12th of September, a committee of citizens, namely, Rev. Dr. H. C. Balley, Rev. W. M. McElroy and Hon. Harry C. Smith (Rev. Dr. B. J. Prince and Rev. G. A. Sissle be unavoidably absent, one out of the city and the other with a prior engagement in the city), called upon Hon. Theodore E. Burton at his offices in the Society for Savings building, and submitted to him the following communication: COLORED VOTERS' QUERIES TO CANDIDATE THEODORE E. BURTON. Having knowledge of the late Brownsville affair, of the discharged colored soldiers by the president of the United States, and the one lone man in public life that came to their rescue, Senator J. B. Foraker, we stand pledged to him for anything in the gift of the nation. We are aware that the president and Secretary Taft are working to eliminate the senator from public life. We also have knowledge that Congressman Burton stands for what the president and secretary stand for. Therefore, we wish to ask the nominee: 1. If he is in league with the president and Secretary Taft to eliminate the senator from public life, because of his manifest interest in the colored soldiers? 2. IF ELECTED, WILL YOU WORK TO SUPPORT THE SENATOR FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE, OR WORK TO DEFEAT HIM? We feel that a crisis is upon our people throughout this country, and Senator Foraker is the only spokesman we have in the national congress; and a sense of gratitude will not allow us to support an enemy of our greatest political friend. We respectfully submit these questions to Mr. Burton before we can promise any aid in electing him as mayor of this city. (Signed.) REV. DR. CHAS. BUNDY, P. E.REV. DR. J. M. GILMERE, P. E. REV. DR. H. C. BAILEY, HON. HARRY C. SMITH, REV. DR. B. J. PRINCE, REV. IRA A. COLLINS, REV. G. A. SISSLE, REV. E. D. DANDRIDGE, REV. W. T. MAXWELL, REV. W. M. McELROY, REV. J. S. JACKSON, REV. J. H. HOLLEY. In reply Mr. Burton said to the committee that he refused to make any promises or statements relative to his future political action. Since, he has said on different occasions that he was opposed to the re-election to the United States senate of Joseph Benson Foraker, and that his opposition to him began prior to the Brownsville affair. In response to Mr. Burton's statement to the committee, members thereof said to him that the loyal Afro-Americans of this community could not and would not support any republican for the mayoralty of the city of Cleveland who favored the elimination of Senator Foraker from public life, and that while we, the members of the committee, in common with nearly all of the Afro-American voters of this community, were not only willing but anxious to support him (Mr. Burton), provided he, as mayor, would not at least oppose the re-election to the United States senate of Mr. Foraker, we could not possibly do so with him (Mr. Burton) maintaining a position inimical to the senator's re-election. Mr. Burton then suggested and promised to put in writing the substance of what he had said to us, and mail it to the chairman of the committee, Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey, whose address he took. Up to date (nearly a month having elapsed) he has signally failed to keep his promise, voluntarily made. In view of the above facts, especially the all-important one which makes clear Mr. Burton's intention, if elected mayor of the city of Cleveland, to oppose the re-election to the United States senate of Mr. Foraker, and also the fact that the senior senator from Ohio is the only outspoken friend of the race in congress, where it is of the utmost importance that we have some one to speak for us when our interests are assailed, we feel justified in appealing to all loyal Afro-American voters of this community, to at least refrain from voting for Mr. Burton on election day in November next. In doing this, we are endeavoring, to the best of our knowledge and ability, to conserve the interests of the race, locally and generally, placing them above party and personal interests. There is one splendid feature of the present Burton campaign for mayor and that is the one that will compel local Afro-American voters to show how much real MANHOOD there is underneath their praise of Senator Foraker and their loudly spoken words of gratitude for the great good he has done the race and greater sacrifices he has made in doing the same in the Brownsville matter, in and out of congress. There is doodling the issue this time! You are either for Burton or Foraker in this fight! You cannot be for both! Candidate Burton says he is opposed to Senator Foraker's re-election to the U. S. Senate and was opposed to him before the Brownsville affair. If you do not believe this, ASK BURTON and he will tell you so, as he has told others of the race here in Cleveland. You cannot vote for Burton unless you wish to help kill, politically, our good friend, Senator Foraker. There are nearly 4,000 Afro-American voters in Cleveland and more than half of them are the average, or above it, in intelligence. Candidate Burton admits that he is unalterably opposed to Senator Foraker's re-election to the United States senate.

NO!I NO!!! A thousand times, NO! -__ From now on until the close of the campaign, all sorts of lies calculated to mislead our voters may be expect- ed. Don't pay any attention to them. One has already uncovered its filthy face and that is the alleged statement reported to have been issued from Cincinnati by Senator Foraker calling upon local Afro-Americans to support Candidate Burton. He has done noth- Ing of the kind; nor will he do so. ‘There is one thing that our people Who occasionally break into the daily newspapers and the white press in general, with communications and in- terviews, ought to learn at once, and that is that the less criticism of thelr people they indulge in for the edifica tion of whites the better for the mem. bers of the race and themselves as well.

DO NOT VOTE FOR BURTON!!! A vote for him is one in favor of the political death of Senator Foraker. oO TRYING TO DEBAUCH OUR MIN.

Only Afro-Ameri- cans of strong determination, man. hood, LOYALTY and GRATITUDE are found doing their duty like MEN these days by refusing to give their support to Candidate Burton (Foraker's arch ENEMY) and by announcing their ab- solute and thorough determination to vote against him on election day in November next, ‘CANDIDATE BURTON SAYS 80! A vote for Candidate Burton is a vote to eliminate from public life our ‘only outspoken friend in congress, the savior of the black soldier's good name and reputation, both of which mean so much, so very much to all of our People of this country. Can you for- get “the Black Battalion,” _ the Brownsville affair and our grand cham- pion in and out of congress, and the only man who raised his voice in our behalf in that time of great need— SENATOR FORAKER? If you can, then the race fs not deserving of white or any other kind of friends; for he has suffered so much for what he did for us in that affair. President Brownsville Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Taft are endeavor- ing to “elfminate him from public life.” CANDIDATE BURTON, TOO, SAYS HE 18 OPPOSED TO SENATOR FoR- AKER'S RE-ELECTION AND IF ELECTED MAYOR OF CLEVELAND WILL HELP TO ELIMINATE HIM. An Afro-American who can vote for Burton with these facts staring him in the face, can do more than we can, to say the least. Our race has never ‘as yet been termed ungrateful. Do not have it truty said, in this late day— one of progress and not retrogression. Have that LOYALTY TO THE RACE AND ITS FRIENDS, AND MANHOOD, of which we all at times boast, and prove it to the whole country, the eyes of which are centered upon Cleveland ‘Afro-Americans these days, watching to see how loyal’or disloyal, grateful or ungrateful, they will be on election day in November. A vote for Burton is one to assist in the elimination of Senator Foraker from public life. There is absolutely no doubt of this now. REBUKE ROOSEVELT. President Roosevelt, in his letter of ‘August 20, 1907, to Congressman Bur- ton, wrote: “My dear Mr. Burton: * * * It 1s exceedingly desirable that. you ‘should win out as mayor of Cleveland. ‘£4 | feel that it is of the utmost Importance to have a man of your ex- perience, power and character, of your Jong training, theoretical and prac‘tcal in public life, take auch a position as that of mayor of Cleveland.” Of course; because the republican mayor of the largest clty in the state of Ohio would be the most powerful facter in the next state convention and n the state assembly to be elected next fall, as the result of his having the contro! of the largest delegation in both bodies. The convention will en dorse Taft or Foraker for the repub- Mean presidential nomination, and en dorse the latter for re-election to the United States senate or refuse to do 80, The assembly referred to will have to re-elect Senator Foraker or elect some one else to succeed him as 2 member of the United States senate. These are the reasons why President Roosevelt feels “that it Is exceedingly desirable, and that It is of the utmost Importance that Burton should win out as mayor of Cleveland. They are also the very best reasons why loyal Cleve land Afro-Americans should help de feat him 90 decisively as to have the entire country understand. thoroughly that we are not only for Senator For akor first, last and all the time, but fare also intent upon administering a greater rebuke to Roosevelt and Tat for thelr drastie action in the Browns ville matter than, was given them a few months ago by our people of the city of Baltimore, Md. Loyal Afro Americans throughout Ohio wherever there are Roosevelt-Taft republican candidates for office, especially that of mayor, not only know thelr duty to our soldier boys of “The Black Bat talfon," to the race and Senator For aker, but will perform it with enthusi asm’ on election day in November. ‘The slogan, everywhere the heart of s loyal Afro-American beats, especially in Ohio these days, is REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE AND REBUKE ROOSEVELT! Do not vote for Burton, his anti-For aker candidate for mayor of Cleve land! BURTON, GREEN AND MAXWELL ‘Last week Thursday evening at a meeting held in the Cedar avenue Wigwam near Logan avenue, Candi: date Burton, Hon, John P, Green and others spoke. Mr. Burton ag usual refused to make any statement rela. tive to his announced determination to oppose the re-election of Senator Foraker to the United States senate. Mr. Green laid great stress upon the fact that five or six weeks ago, Sen- ator Foraker in an interyiew very magnanimously offered to aksist Can- didate Burton in any way he could, and used this as a basis of an argu- ment in favor of our voters of the city supporting Candidate Burton. Mr. Green did not tell the audience that ‘the republican candidate for mayor, ‘Mr., Burton, grossly insulted Senator Foraker for his kindness in making the offer referred to, by not only re fusing to accept it, but by totally ig- noring the same, failing to recognize it in any way—by telegram, letter or in the newspapers. This, of course, ‘Decatse he has announced his deter ‘mination to assist President Roosevelt ‘and Secretary Taft to ellminate Sen- ‘ator Foraker from publie life. If Sen- ator Foraker helped Burton in this campaign, the latter could not con- ‘sistently oppose the former's reelec tion to the U. 8, senate in 1908 That is why Candidate Burton refuses to accept the senator's very kind offer to help’him, and it ts also proof of what ‘Mr. Burton bas said, and that is, that he is not only unalterably opposed to the senator's re-election, but if elect- ed mayor, he (Burton) will use the sredt power of that office to help de- feat him. What more can one want to establish the fact of Burton's com- Pact with President Roosevelt. and Secretary Taft to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life and thus re- move from the halls of congress the only friend the race has there who will speak and plead for us on the floor of that august body even when the Brownsville matter is under dis: cussion. Did not Roosevelt and Taft ask Burton to become the Iceal repub- Mean candidate for mayor? Knowing this, we fail to see how Mr. Green or any loyal member of the race can vote for Candidate Burton, . If they do, they are just as surely voting to kill, polit- ically, our only outspoken friend in congress. Of that they can rest ab- solutely assured. INGRATITUDE of that kind ought to be regarded as the basest of crimes. DEFINES HIS POSITION! Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey Explains Why He Cannot Vote for Candidate Shietots: Tama republican. The party of Lincoln, Garfield, Sumner and Roscoe Conkling is no more. New men are at the helm, and these new men are not even bufiding upon the foundation laid by the founders, but undermining or sitting quietly by, allowing the foundation to be undermined by those who sought to destroy the govern: ment. The party managers have cut loose the republican ship, allowing her to drift from her old mooring into strange and dangerous seas of graft, acquisition of territory, commercial: ism, and abrogating the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. The republican party was born, fostered and became mighty because of its im- mortal principles—human liberty and rights. “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” God chose it to carry out the most humane and divine act ever done in this nation— to liberate four million of human be- ings from chattles to men, women and children. The right above every right is the one to live, pursue happiness, and to protection. Since our greatest and grand statesmen have fallen asleep and new pharaohs have come on the throne, these principles which were worth fighting and dieing for have paled into insignificance. The president of the United States has joined the states of the late rebellion to humiliate, discourage and slander a weak race. It is a cowardly act to strike a man when he is down, Sec- retary Taft has in his Greensbbro, N. C., and Lexington, Ky., speeches favored disfranchising and “Jim Crow- ing” the Negro. Congressman Burton is their greatest ally in Ohio. These great men have planned and agreed to eliminate Senator Foraker from pub- lic life—from the United States sen- ate. The senator (in the language of Secretary Taft) “touched the live wire” (the race question) in defending our brave soldiers in the Brownsville affair. Senator Foraker saved the star of their glory from dimming and their laurels from withering. He kept, or raised the curtain that 'the president and secretary pulled down so suddenly in the drama. ‘The world has seen and heard, and a different decision has been given by the court of public opinion, Our soldiers are innocent of the crime charged! A race is respect- ed and their rights accorded and pro- tected by what it or members of it have wrought, What people or na- tionality have wrought more, or as much as the Negro race in this coun- try? This republic was first christened for liberty by the blood of a Negro— Crispus Attucks. The war of 1812 was @ failure without the Negro’s blood. ‘The civil war of the sixties would have been a failure or a more pro- tracted carnage but for 200,000 boys fn black, ‘The Spanish-American war would have ended “Teddy” but for our troops. By their valor in war the whole racé is honored, and the nation would be less respectful toward us but for it, We have merited our rights and protection to every politi- cal and civil privilege in. this land. Millions of foreigners have come here sinee the civil war and are given more protection than the loyal colored peo- ple. 1 shall stand and fall with my people. They are bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. They are my brethren. If they go up, I go up. If they go down, I go down. ’ Our people are not INGRATES! They will ever be grateful to Senator Foraker. We owe him a debt of gratitude for his great sacrifice of political tame to save our race in America from a lasting disgrace, For these reasons | can't vote for Candidate Burton—a politi- cal enemy of Senator Foraker.

On the morning of October 5 I recetved a Jetter from Chairman Baker, of the republican executive committee, asking me to call on him at his office at my convenience. On the afternoon of Octo- ber 8 I received a letter from Geo. A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollenden barber shop, asking me to call_on him immediately. The next afternoon called’ at the office of The Cleveland Gazette to Seo the editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith. I told Mr. Smith about the letters I had received from Chairman Baker and Myers, At that time we drew up a statement which was later signed by ourselves, two other ministers and Mr. Smith, and published in The Gazette, calling upon the colored voters of Cleveland to refrain from voting for Mr. Burton for mayor, INTO A PRIVATE ROOM. After leaving The Gazette office Rev. H. C. Balley and Rev. G. A, Sissle, at my request, accompanied me to Mr. Myers’ place of business.

I appeal to you to have noth- ing more to do with the campaign against Congressman Burton.” Mr. Myers then sald: “Anything you want you can get from me. ‘In this matter I represent Mr. Baker, chairman of the repub- Mean executive committee. We have taiked about this matter, and he has authorized me to speak for him to you gentlemen.” Myers then said to us “that colored pastors were very poorly paid for their ministerial duties, and I had better take the money which we could get by agreeing not to work against Mr. Burton as we would probably need it before the winter was over.” - NO LIMIT ON MONEY. Mr. Myers did not mention the exact sum that we were to be paid, but emphasized the fact that we could get what we asked for. He warned us not to go to see Chalrman Baker, but to do our business through him, as be had full authority to make the deal with us, He sald that Mr. Baker and the other members of the republican committee ‘were particularly ‘anxious to line up Dr. Bailey and myself, as they thought by doing so they could break the backbone of the opposition of Mr. Burton among the colored ministers of the elty.

At that point I stopped Mr. Myers and told him that 1 must be going, as 1 had an important meeting at my church, Myers. sald: “Well, before you go, what do you want?” T said to Mr, Myers: “I have never dasided upon any matter without giving it proper thought.” Myers. walked with us to the street car, and just before we got on the car he said: “I want to hear from you gentlemen about this.” I sald to him: “You will hear from’ me tomorrow night.” REFUSES TO BE BOUGHT. I wrote Mr. Myers that evening, telling him that had 'care- fully considered our interview, and ‘could not accept his propos tion, T'sald to him further i this letter that neither the repub- lican party nor any of its friends had enough money to buy me in this matter. I further said to him that 1 was opposed to Mr. Burton on principle and that I had never yet sold myself and was not willing to do it now. BAKER WRITES AGAIN. The next morning, October 10, I recaived another letter trom Chairman Baker, of the republican executive committee, again asking me to call at republican headquarters, I did not answer this letter, but have it in my possession now, as I have the first letter I re: ceived from him, and also the letier I received from Mr. Myers, DR. BOSTON J. PRINCE, BY HEV. H.C. BAILEY. Pastor of the Antioch Baptist Church. I have carefully read the above statement signed by Dr. B. J. Prince. So far as this statement refers to me, or to any time when I was present with Dr. Prince, it is a true ‘and correct state- ment of what happened, H.C. BAILEY, The following letter, which ie self-explanatory, was received trom W. 1 axwell, pastor of St. James A. M. E, church, East End, on Wednesday was published in a daily. paper on’ Tuesday: POOR MAXWELL'S PITIFUL LETTER. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: I have your statement in regard to what I’said of Senator Foraker. ‘That part is all right as far as he is concerned, but at the same time I do not mean by that that Tam opposed to Mr. Burton for mayor of Cleveland. Tam not op- posed to Mr. Burton, as I do not think it a wise thing for. us: to do. There are some vital Interests of our people to be looked after, and I 40 told the ministers at thelr last meeting. 1 think We shoul separate the natfonal issues from the local issues tn this campaign. I wish you would be kind enough to publish this letter, as my opinion in this matter may not agree with yours, and 1’ did not sign those resolutions. I think 1 am as good a friend to my race as any man can be, and T do not see how the supporting of the elty republican ticket this fall will prove that T am nota friend to my race, I am acting in this matter In accordance with my own conviction. I do not see why I cannot be a (riend to Mr. Foraker, and at the same time vote the straight republican ticket this fall, W. T. MAXWELL. Comment on Mr, Maxwell's letter is unnecessary after reading wha ecedes and follows It. Poor fellow, he has our sympathy. His is a mos abarrassing position. Gee AS TO MAXWELL'S SIGNATURE. Cleveland, Oct. 19, 1907. In Grays’ armory on September 7, 1907, Revs. G. A. Stssle, B. J. Prince, W. T. Maxwell and myself were sitting in the gallery over the entrance to that building, while the Jocal republican convention was in session to nominate mayoralty and other candidates for city offices. I showed the above mentioned gentleman the questions (queries, published on page 1) we were going to submit to Congressman Theodore E. Burton, They were type- Written and all ready to be signed by those whose names appear in print. Rev. Maxwell said, then and there, that they were good, and that he had no objection to signing them, and that he would sign them and also serve ‘on the committee to interview Congressman Burton. .He gave me this ‘phone umber, Doan 1426 J, and told me to sign his name, which | did. His con- ference called him out of the city, thus making {t impossible for me to see him before our conference with Mr. Burton and for him to accompany us on that occasion, an he expressed a desire fo do.

Many white republicans have already signi: fied thelr intention to vote for Mr. Brown, because Counciiman Hirstius is not only the creature of “Boss” Bill Crawford, but undoubtedly “a street car councilman.” His course in that dody the past two years proves this beyond all question or doubt. Boom Brown's candidacy and vote for him on election day! Here 1s another op- portunity to show your boasted race loyalty and manhood. At a small meeting of Afro-Amert- can republicans of the 13th ward held in the basement of the block at the comer of Webster and Brownell streets Tuesday evening, the leading speech of the evening was made by Geo, W. Johnson, who explained con- cisely ihe reason’ why every. loyal member of the race should be opposed to Candidate Burton, and was well received. ft is simply astonishing how rapidly our people are learning the truth, and just as rapidly refusing to support Burton. Mr, Johnson made it clear that Senator Foraker was grossly insulted by Mr. Burton when offering to assist him. The latter not only refused to recognize the offer in any way, but up to date has tailed to accept it because he knows that such action on his part would, make it impossible for him, if elected may- or (which is not at all Iikely), to op- pose the senator's reelection to. the United States senate In 1908. A’ vote for Burton is a vote to kill politically Senator Foraker. Therefore, DO NOT VOTE FOR BURTON! The statements being issued to the ‘effect that Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey. au- thorized the use of his name as vice president af a republican meeting held at the corner of Wilson and. Cedar avenues one evening last week, is a campaign lle; likewise the statement that Rev. G. A. Sissle has denied giv- ing authority for the signing of is name to any communication published in The Gazette. Still another cam- paign ie is the apparent endorsement of Candidate Burton by Rev. Mr. Bal- ley in a little booklet issued from one of the many local republican cam- paign headquarters. Another cam- paign lie is the statement which sup. Posedly eminates from Senator Fora- er at Cincinnati, calling on local Af- ro-Americans to’ support Candidate Burton. He has done nothing of the kind, and will not do so. Watch out for more and worse campaign lies next week and the day or two of the week following it. immediately preceding election day. At the same time retain your determination to scratch Burton's ame from the republican ticket and thus help prevent him and President Roosevelt from eliminating Senator Foraker from public life. Garrett A. Morgan, master mechanic for the Prince-Wolf Co., is possibly the only machine adjustor in this city who understands the Intricacles of “weavers,” “seallopers,” “zigzags,” overlock ‘stitch, buttonliole and hook and eye machines, which are in com stant use in the factory where he is employed. Mr.. Morgan's statement in last week Thursday's Plain Dealer that “a Negro has really a better chance for schooling in the south, all things considered,” is s0 notoriously untrue that we are persuaded to be- eve that the paper In question mis- uated lip, There are other. stat. ments in the interview that he might have left unsaid and benefited the members of the race in this communt- ty. For instance, he said: “Our girls would make good factory hands.” ‘Yes, and they would make good clerks, too, and fill acceptably any other positions filled by girls of any other class of this community. After telling how very many times he was rebuffed on his arrival iu the elty’ when he made application for first class work, which he claims he was able and ready to do, Mr. Morgan closed his Plain Deal- er interview with the following: “I wish the northern people in general who speak and write in our behalf would show our young men and wom en that they will be given fair oppor- tunities in the trades and professions, if they fit themselves to do good work, and be self-respecting citizens.” He did not find it so when he made appll- cation upon his arrival in the city, and the conditions referred to have Krown worse instead of better in re- cent years, as every one knows. Mr. Morgan was not only incorrect, indis- ereet, but also inconsistent in most of his statements, TRUE MANHOOD THE NEED OF THE HOUR. Te eee Sane Editor Gazette.—Dear Sir and Friend: In connection with my pre vious letter, 1 wish to state, as you will remember, that I have been em- ployed the last two national cam- paigns by the national republican committee. During the campaign of 1900, I was placed in charge of the Afro:American hotel railroad dining car waiters, butlers, ete. My work was so satisfactory that I was placed in charge of our speakers in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa during the last national election —when Roosevelt was elected. Just previous to the discharge of our sol- diers at Brownsville, I filed an applt- cation with the state department for an appointment in consular service. This application was highly endorsed by party leaders of Atlantic City, N. J. (where I lived), being signed by the mayor, postmaster, county clerk and other leading citizens. But as soon as our soldiers were discharged, I withdrew my application, and the same was acknowledged by the de- partment of state November 15. 1 believe I am the only Afro-American who has made such a sacrifice. If our office-holders and applicants would re- fuse and scorn a position offered by & man Who has degraded our highest and dearly beloved pride, our sol- diers, and refuse to sell their man- hood’ and citizens’ rights for a’ mess of political pottage, our race would be elevated to a plane where it would demand and recieve the: proper recog. nition and respect from both political partis and the white man in gene~1l ‘ours sincerely, W.

Would it not be well to give the other fellow a chance To Read Your Ad In These Columns About wha the Home Paper mene foyou and yours Temeans all the interest« ing news of the community. of your neigh borsand friends, of the churches andschooks, of everything in which you are directly interested. Don't you think the Homme Paper is a good thing to have? WHAT IS PE-RU-NA? Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right! Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COFAIAA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COR-YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruma is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Stretching Rings. A jeweler in Third avenue, New York city, advertises "Wedding rings purchased here will be stretched to any size without extra cost." His enterprise is based on a knowledge of human fidelity. "The girl often happens to balk," he says, "and the fellow gets it in the neck. The ring for that intended may not fit the finger of the next intended; so I stretch it for nothing. I have stretched rings as many as five times for one man." Why not use rubber rings? His Job. Bishop Potter was staying with a friend in a country house. On Sunday morning as he passed through the library he found a small boy curled up in a big chair deeply interested in a book. "Are you going to church, Tom?" he asked. "No," he replied. "Why, I am," the Bishop sald. "Huh! the boy returned. "That's your job." A good jolly is worth all it will cause the other fellow to give up.

There was a little girl crossing the ocean last summer who was given to asking many idle questions. The captain of the steamer on which she sailed was a gruff old fellow who did not like to be interviewed unnecessarily. One day, when it was quite rough, the little girl spied the captain, and, running up to him, said: "Oh, captain, do tell me, is it always as rough as it is now?" He looked at her for a moment, then said calmly: "I am not always here. I think God alone could answer that question." In Berlin Street Kalser Wilhelm has just sanctioned a gigantic street improvement in Berlin, involving an expenditure of $37,500,000. It is proposed to widen the narrowest part of Friedrichstrasse. 20 feet and replace the present insignificant array of palaces, galleries and hotels, making the street one of the grandest thoroughfares in the world. It is announced that four German banks and one British bank will finance the project. MIX THIS YOURSELF RECIPE FOR SIMPLE HOME-MADE KIDNEY CURE. Inexpensive Mixture of Harmless Vegetable Ingredients Said to Overcome Kidney and Bladder Trouble Promptly. Here is a simple home-made mixture as given by an eminent authority on Kidney diseases, who makes the statement in a New York daily newspaper, that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; painful and discolored urination, are readily overcome. Here is the recipe; try it: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. A well-known physician is authority that these ingredients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking well in a bottle. This mixture has a peculiar healing and soothing effect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matter, which cause the afflictions. Try it if you aren't well. Save the prescription. NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD. That's Where the Driver Had the Best of the Preacher. A New York clergyman, who often spends his vacation in fishing the streams of the Adirondacks, was on one trip adopted by a handsome settler dog, which insisted on following him from camp to camp, as he moved along the stream. "One day he met a party of men working upstream with a native guide. The guide immediately recognized the dog as his own property. "Trying to steal my setter, are you?" he shouted at the clergyman. "I'll have you to jail for this! There's a law in the woods just as big as you have in the city." The clergyman endeavored to explain that he was an unwilling companion of the dog, which had refused to be driven away, but to little effect until he added a two-dollar bill to his arguments. "It's queer what strange things happen to a man up here," he said to the stage-driver who later carried him away from the woods. "That is the first time I was ever accused of stealing a dog." "Yes, sir," replied the driver, sympathetically, and added, after a moment's pause. "For myself, sir, I have never been accused of stealing anything." - Youth's Companion. The Sinful Human Heart A clergyman was addressing a youthful class in Sunday school. To illustrate the idea of regulating the sinful human heart he took out his watch and held it up that all might see it. "See this watch," he said. "Just imagine that it does not keep good time—that it goes all ways but the right way. What ought I to do with it?" Instantly a little boy held up his hand. "I know!" he shouted. "Sell it to a friend." Not to Be Wasted. Ben Cary had near his house a swamp, which was a breeding-place for herds of man-eating mosquitoes. Some enterprising neighbors, who learned of the crude oil treatment, went to Ben and tried to persuade him to exterminate the pests. "Exterminate 'em?" said Ben. "Not much. Not much. Why, Mis' Cary an' I just paid $2 for $2 to screen the side plazzer that she's been pestering me about for years. How we goin' to get any good of it, if we kill off the skeeters?"—Youth's Companion. Sailing Days Not Over. Just at a time when every one who is at all interested in the sea and ships is talking over the Lusatian, her size and her record, it seems a curious reminder of old times to catch sight of a new gold sign in the windows of a skyscraper down at Bowling Green which announces a "sailing service to Australia and New Zealand." When you hear a man say "married life is the only life" it's a sure sign he has been married nearly a week. OLD SOAKERS Get Saturated with Caffeine. When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined in health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not it has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years has had severe stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all in vain. Everything failed to give relief. Was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and it sourced on my stomach. "I finally concluded that coffee was the cause of my trouble and stopped using it. I tried tea in its place and then milk, but neither agreed with me; then I commenced using Postum, had it properly made and it was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used it four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suffered for years with insomnia. "I have found the cause of my troubles and a way to get rid of them. You can depend upon it, I appreciate Postum. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville." in pkgs. FIVE MONTHS IN HOSPITAL Discharged Because Doctors Could Not Cure. Levi P. Brockway, S. Second Ave, Anoka, Minn., says: "After lying for five months in a hospital I was charged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected. I had smothering spells, and sometimes fell unconcious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight. five months in a hospital I was discharged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected. I had smothering spells, and sometimes fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight was impaired and the kidney secretions were badly disordered. I was completely worn out and discouraged when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, but they went right to the cause of the trouble and did their work well. I have been feeling well ever since."

The loves and friendships of individuals partake of the frail character of human life, and are brief and uncertain. The experience of a human life may be shortly summed up: A little loving and a good deal of sorrowing; some bright hopes and many bitter disappointments; some gorgeous Thursdays when the skies are bright and the heavens蓝, when Providence, bending over us in blessings, glads the heart almost to madness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many Waterloo defeats, until the heart becomes like a charnel house filled with dead affections, embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then the chord is loosed, the golden bow is broken, the individual life—a cloud, a vapor, passes away—Matthew Hale Carpenter. SKIN SORE EIGHT YEARS. Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies but Got No Relief—Cuticura Cures in a Week. "Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms, and I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cucicura Remedies (coasting a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I can again attend to my business. I went to work again-to-night. I had been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cucicura Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff, 24 Columbus Ave., New York, N. Y., March 29 and April 6, 1906." **Something New in Tablecloths.** She had come into the store to buy tablecloths and she stated in the beginning that she wanted something "new." The salesman was patient and showed her everything in stock, but nothing suited. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, fussily, "haven't you anything different?" The clerk brought out one of the discarded tablecloths that he had put back on the shelf, and said with an air of interest: "Here is one of the very newest designs, madam. You see, the center is in the middle and the border runs right around the edge." "Why, yes! Let me have that one," she said eagerly. Old Coins Discovered. Workingmen in demolishing the old smelter house of the first Utted States mint, on Seventh street, Philadelphia, have uncovered a number of relics of the early days of the republic. These relics consist of a number of foreign and domestic coins, dating as far back as 1793. Some of the interesting finds are a number of test coins that were experimented with by the officials in the olden times. These coins are similar to Chinese money, each containing a hole in the center that was filled with various kinds of metal to bring up the value of the coin.

In a walking trip a milestone along the way is the most companionable fellow in the world; your spirits rise as you near him as though you were about to greet a human friend, and they keep almost consistently on his high level till his brother a mile distant advances to meet you. And when you overlook one of this friendly company because of an encreaching bank or screening boughs, says the Travel Magazine, his neighbor further on comes to you doubly welcome. At the latter end of this passage in the journey your spirits flag a trifle as though oppressed by a sense of desertion. You may even scowl at the overhanging bank which is more than a party to this concealment. Those worthy persons who attend to the roads should see to it that every milestone within their province stands out frankly from its leafy background. Observance of this, however, would rob the wayfarer of that leap of the heart which is his when the stone tells the story of two miles done rather than one. For however much the landscape and the minute world at his feet may claim the footfarer's admiration he is still keenly alive to the virtue of decent distances covered in his day's journey. Only Royal Doctor The only royal doctor in Europe is Duke Carl Theodore of Bavaria. Few German princes have had a more romantic career than Duke Carl Theodore. He recently completed, with his wife as his assistant, his five-thousand operation for cataract. Poor people flock to his hospital, where they are treated free, the duke asking payment only from those who can easily afford it. He it was who successfully treated the kaiser, when, eight years ago, he was temporarily blinded by a swinging rope when cruising on the Hobenzollern in the North sea. Hospital Story-Telling. It is curious that philanthropists in search of a novel means of doing good do not engage reciters and storytellers to visit hospitals and amuse the patients. A rich man in New York engaged Marshall P. Wilder, the diminutive entertainer, who has given pleasure in nearly every city, to visit regularly certain hospitals in New York. Mr. Wilder was welcomed enthusiastically by the convalescent patients, and his merry stories did them good. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT AVegetable Preparation for As- simulating the Food and Regu- ting the Stomachs and Bowls of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerful- ness and Rest.
