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. Isn't that enough?

Cleveland, Saturday, Oct. 26, 1907. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker Now what do you think of Geo. A. Myers, the Hollden house barber? The mask is off at last. Caught "red-handed" in an effort to assist in debauching our ministry. Candidate Burton says, if elected mayor of Cleveland, he proposes to help President Roosevelt eliminate Senator Joseph Benson Foraker from public life. Can loyal Afro-Americans vote for Burton? No! NO!! 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 expected. 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 nothing 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 interviews, ought to learn at once, and that is that the less criticism of their people they indulge in for the elaboration of whites the better for the members of the race and themselves as well. If you desire to criticize, do so direct to the people whom you wish to benefit and not exploit what you think to be the race's weaknesses before other classes of people who always prefer to criticize and lower our people in the estimation of all with whom they come in contact, rather than to do us justice along any line of discussion or criticism. Then, too, the less comparison of the southern and northern Afro-American, the better. Each enjoys advantages which the other does not possess, and neither has anything to boast of. God Almighty's praises and those of a grateful people are what those two brave, Christian HEROES, Revs. Drs. B. J. Prince and H. C. Bailley, are entitled to. THEY STAND FOR SOME THING, and it is only such as they to whom the race must look for guidance to the uplift and progress so necessary to make us a respected people wherever a black face may happen to be. Thus far all of our local ministers, save one poor soul (may the good Lord forgive him) have stood like Spartans—firm for Foraker and against Burton. More power to them, that they may continue to withstand the hellish influence of campaign "booble" and all other evil influences to desert the only friend in congress the Negro had last winter when he needed friends worse than at any time during the past 25 years. DO NOT VOTE FOR BURTON!!! A vote for him is one in favor of the political death of Senator Foraker. TRYING TO DEBAUCH OUR MIN- ISTRY. The desperate condition into which the righteous opposition of loyal local Afro-Americans has driven the management of Candidate Burton's campaign can be best understood after a careful reading of the article on our first page detailing at length the contemptible attempt to debauch our local ministry, all of whom, with the possible exception of one poor, pitiful proselyte, are standing as firmly to the guns against Senator Foraker's arch enemy, Candidate Burton, as they stood several weeks ago when the questions submitted to Mr. Burton were first signed. This expose, coming just at this time, is an exceptionally good thing for a number of reasons, but particularly because it explains to the many unfamiliar with the nefarious methods oftimes invoked during political campaigns, why some seemingly intelligent Afro-Americans who must know better, are so active in their support of Burton. It will not be difficult hereafter to dis tinguish the manly, intelligent voter—a member of the race—and the trucking sycophant, or "boodler," or weak kneed Afro-American in a contest of the kind such as the local campaign has developed into. Only Afro-Americans of strong determination, manhood, 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 absolute and thorough determination to vote against him on election day in November next. CANDIDATE BURTON SAYS SO 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 forget "the Black Battalion," the Brownville affair and our grand champion 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 is 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 Brownville Roosevelt and Secretary Distranchisement Taft are endeavoring to "eliminate him from public life." CANDIDATE BURTON, TOO, SAYS HE IS OPPOSED TO SENATOR FORAKER 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 truly said, in this late day—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 30, 1907, to Congressman Burton, wrote: "My dear Mr. Burton: * * * It is exceedingly desirable that, you should win out as mayor of Cleveland. * * * I feel that it is of the utmost importance to have a man of your experience, power and character, of your long training, theoretical and practical in public life, take such a position as that of mayor of Cleveland." Of course; because the republican mayor of the largest city in the state of Ohio would be the most powerful factor in the next state convention and in the state assembly to be elected next fall, as the result of his having the control of the largest delegation in both bodies. The convention will endorse Taft or Foraker for the republican presidential nomination, and endorse the latter for re-election to the United States senate or refuse to do so. The assembly referred to will have to re-elect Senator Foraker or elect some one else to succeed him as a member of the United States senate. These are the reasons why President Roosevelt feels "that it is exceedingly desirable, and that it is the utmost importance that Burton should win out as mayor of Cleveland. They are also the very best reasons why loyal Cleveland Afro-Americans should help have the entire country understand thoroughly that they are not only for Senator Foraker first, last and all the time, but are also intent upon administering a greater rebuke to Roosevelt and Taft for their drastic action in the Brownville 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 their duty to our soldier boys of "The Black Bat tatler," to the race and Senator Foraker, but will perform it with enthusiasm on election day in November. The slogan, everywhere the heart of a loyal Afro-American beats, especially in Ohio these days, is REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE AND REBUKE ROOSEVELT! Do not vote for Burton, his anti-Foraker candidate for mayor of Cleveland! BURTON, GREEN AND MAXWELL. Last week Thursday evening at a meeting held in the Cedar avenue wigwam near Logan avenue, Candidate Burton, Hon. John P. Green and others spoke. Mr. Burton as usual refused to make any statement relative 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, Senator Foraker in an interview very magnanimously offered to assist Candidate Burton in any way he could, and used this as a basis of an argument 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 refusing to accept it, but by totally ignoring the same, failing to recognize it in any way—by telegram, letter or in the newspapers. This, of course, because he has announced his determination to assist President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life. If Senator Foraker helped Burton in this campaign, the latter could not consistently oppose the former's re-election to the U. S. senate in 1908. That is why Candidate Burton refuses to accept the senator's very kind offer to help him, and it is also proof of what Mr. Burton has said, and that is, that THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1907. he is not only unalterably opposed to the senator's re-election, but if elected mayor, he (Burton) will use the great power of that office to help defeat him. What more can one want to establish the fact of Burton's compact with President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life and thus remove 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 discussion. Did not Roosevelt and Taft ask Burton to become the local republican 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, politically, our only outspoken friend in congress. Of that they can rest absolutely 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 Burton. I am a republican. The party of Lincoln, Garfield, Summer and Roscoe Conkling is no more. New men are at the helm, and these new men are not even building 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 governance. The party is managers have cut loose the public's right to move over her to drift from her old mooring into strange and dangerous seas of graft, acquisition of territory, commercialism, and abrogating the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. The republican party was born, fostered and became mighty because of its immortal principles—human liberty and rights. Do unto others as you would have others to do, you can't be so far to carry out the most humane and divine act ever done in this nation to liberate four million of human beings 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 are having the right to be fighting and dieing for have paled into the plightless. 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. Secretary Taft has in his Greensboro, N.C., and Lexington, Ky., speeches favored diefranchising and 'Jim Crow's Regret's Long Progressman, Burton is their greatest ally. Others are great men have planned and agreed to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life—from the United States senate. 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 language from withering. He kept, or� and lively, the country's most unsecured 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 respected and their rights accorded and protected by what it or members of it have wrought. What people or nature really have brought in on or in such a much as the Negro was first christened for liberty by the blood of a Negro-Crispus Attucks. The war of 1812 was a failure without the Negro's blood. The civil war of the sixties would have been a failure or a more protracted carnage but for 200,000 boys in black. The Spanish-American war would have endled "Teddy," but for our majority, the people were more ill-health than in the country? This republican war is on the whole race is honored, and the nation would be less respectful toward us but for it. We have merited our rights and protection to every political and civil privilege in this land. Millions of foreigners have come here since the civil war and are given more protection than the loyal colored people. I shall stand and fall with my people, they are some one of my bone and life of flesh of the best. There are me 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 fame to save our race in America from a lasting disgrace. For these reasons I can't vote for a candidate Burton—a political enemy of the State of Faker. (GREY), H. C.

Gregory, of Springfield, bride and groom, were in the city last week, guests of Mrs. Richardson Graves, of 2265 E. 97th street. Miss Fannie Wilson, of Brooker avenue, has returned from a pleasant two months' visit in the south. Atlanta, Newbury and other points in Georgia were also visited. Mrs. L. J. Dean, of 11st street, held a reception last Friday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock in honor of Mrs. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, Ga. One hundred guests were received. Rev. Dr. Bailey's several communications in this issue of The Gazette place several persons in very embarrassing positions, if some current reports which were being industriously circulated last week were true. Be sure to read the communications referred to, carefully. DR. BAiley SAYS HE IS OPPOSED TO SENATOR FORAKE'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. It is said that when John P. Green was a member of the state assembly many years ago, he voted for a 99-year street car franchise bill. That may explain his support of Candidate Burton, and consequent opposition to his mayor. In the face of his loudly professed loyalty to the senator, of several months ago. It is said that Councilman Hirustus killed his own ordinance No. 7393 (which provided for extending North place through to Cedar avenue) at the request of certain Cedar avenue property owners who did not want another outlet from Central avenue into the city. We would have largely by our people. Don't vote for him but work faithfully and vote for our own candidate for the council in that ward—J. Clarence Brown. On Saturday we learned from Geo. W. Johnson and others that some malicious liar had circulated a report to Cedar Avenue about letters, signed by Wm. T. Ferguson, were written outside of the city named and by other than the person named. This campaign lie, as well as the one which circulated the report that W. T. Maxwell's name was used in connection with the questions submitted by the jury, is effectually disposed of by publications in this issue of The Gazette. The following local appeared in our last issue: "A miss Lucy Fleming is visiting the Misses Dora Anderson and Nellie Brown in Lancaster." This item was published exactly as sent to us, and the following was added to it: "The person asking the publication of the foregoing will, in the future, please mail her local news to The Gazette office, send or take it THERE." This latter seems to have given offense to some persons who either were looking for an opportunity or were not familiar with very plain English. It contains no "slur" and no offense was intended, yet we meant exactly what we said. Therefore there is no necessity or excuse for fault finding. It was not so long ago, only a few years, that Tom Fleming openly supported Hubbell, the democratic candidate for the council in ward 12, and openly consorted politically with Mayor Tom's democratic cohort in his district, expelled from the 12th Ward Afro-American Republican club, of which the editor of The Gazette was president. Then, again, Tom bolted the nomination of the Afro-American candidate for the legislature on the republican ticket, two years ago this fall. He was also responsible for him. Just a little inconsistent and queer, to say the least, isn't it? Add to this the fact that "Boss" Bill Crawford dictated Tom's nomination in spite of the protest of our leading men and our ministers, and remember his unfitness for the position, and the fact that he sound reasons for enough his name as well as Burton's from the ticket. J. Clarence Brown, our candidate for the council in the 12th ward, has filed with the board of elections more than the required number of signatures necessary to pass the nomination in his district to be voted for November, as the independent republican candidate. There is absolutely no reason why at least every Afro-American in the ward should not vote for him. Here is evidence to secure the nomination so many have been claiming they were entitled to THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1907. and contending for, so long. Many white republicans have already signified their intention to vote for Mr. Brown, because Councilman Hiristius is not only the creature of "Boss" Bill Crawford, but undoubtedly "a street car councilman." His course in that body the past two years proves this all question or doubt. Boom Brown's answer to Boom Brown's on election day! Here is another opportunity to show your boasted race loyalty and manhood. At a small meeting of Afro-American republicans of the 13th ward held in the basement of the block at the corner of Webster and Brownell streets Tuesday evening, the leading speech of the evening was made by Geo. W. Johnson, who explained concisely the reason why every loyal member of the race should be opposed to Candidate Burton, and was well received. It is simply astonishing how rapidly he is simply learning the truth, and just as rapidly he is 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 failed to accept it because he knows that such action on his part would make it impossible for him, if elected mayor (whether he did) (likely). To the senator's re-election, 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. Balley authorized 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 lie; likewise the statement that Rev. G. A. Sissle has denied giving his name to any communication published in The Gazette. Still another campaign lie is the apparent endorsement of Candidate Burton by Rev. Mr. Balley in a little booklet issued from one of the many local republican campaign headquarters. Another campaign lie is the statement which supposes Burton to be a reporter at Cincinnati, to call on local Afro-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 reputation, 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 intricacies of "weavers," "scallopers," "zizgazas," overlock tight, buttonhole and hook and eye machines, which are in constant use in the factory where he is employed. Mr. Morgan's statement implies that "a Negro has really a better chance for schooling in the south, all things considered," is so notoriously untrue that we are persuaded to believe that the paper in question misquoted him. There are other statements in the interview that he might have left unsaid and benefitted the members of the race in this community. For instance, he said: "Our girls Yes, and they would make good clerks, 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 in the city when he made application for first class work, which he claims he was able and ready to do. Mr. Morgan closed his Plain Dealer interview with the following: "I did not particularly people in general who speak and write in our behalf would show our young men and women that they will be given fair opportunities 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 application upon his arrival in the city, and the conditions referred to have been very recent, ten years, as every one knows. Mr. Morgan was not only incorrect, indirect, but also inconsistent in most of his statements. TRUE MANHOOD THE NEED OF THE HOUR. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 14, 1907. Editor Gazette. — Dear Sir and Friend: In connection with my pre- vious letter, I wish to state, as you wish to state, that I have been ployed the last two national campaigns 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, etc. My work was so satisfactory that, I was placed in charge of the waiters in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and louisiana during the last national election —when Roosevelt was elected. Just previous to the discharge of our soldiers at Brownsville, I filed an application with the state department for an appointment in consular service. This application was highly endorsed by party leaders of Atlantic City, N. Y., who live being held 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 department of state November 15. I believe I am the only Afro-American who has made such a sacrifice. If our office-holders and applicants receive recognition, we are offered a man who has degraded our highest and dearly beloved pride, our soldiers, and refuse to sell their manhood 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 recognition and respect from both political parties and the white man in general. Yours sincerely, W. F. COZART. MAXWELL STRONG FOR CRAKER Cleveland, O. Oct. 14, 1906. There is no man among who is a stronger Foraker man than I am, and I do not favor any movement that means opposition to Mr. Foraker. I hope to see him returned to the sen- ate, and even make president of the United States. I am for him first, last and all the time. Very truly yours, W. T. MAXWELL, Pastor St. James A. M. E. Church. PIANO TEACHER. Mr. Nicholas Davis. LESSONS 25 CENTS. 26 Park Place, Pine Avenue, S. E. CLEVELAND. O. KINK·NE Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

SINCE 1900 When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "thelrs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

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.
