THIRTY-THIRD Minor G. Norton [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] [Name] Mr. Norton was born in Andover Ashtabula County, O., in 1857. He attended the High School at Jefferson and afterward attended the National Normal University at Lebanon, The Baldwin University at Berea, and Mt. Union College, from which he graduated in 1878. He then entered Yale Law School and took the Post Graduate course and graduated in 1880. The same year he was admitted to the Ohio bar in the class with William H. Taft. In the examination President Taft ranked first and Norton second. In 1881 the degree of Master of Laws was conferred on Mr. Norton by the Yale Law School. During his college course Mr. Norton took an active part in athletics, playing upon the college ball team and won, while in Yale, all long distance running races. In 1881 Mr. Norton came to Cleveland, entering the law firm of Marvin Laird & Norton. In 1891 he became the member of the firm of Norton & Pinney. In 1895 Mr. Norton was appointed Director of Law for the City of Cleveland and served four consecutive years in that capacity. Subsequent to that time he served four years as United States Appraiser, under President Roosevelt and practiced law in the City of Cleveland. We believe Miner G. Norton's thorough training, his broad and comprehensive knowledge of municipal affairs, his practical experience; together with his character for morality and integrity during his entire life, a close examination of his invite, preeminently fit him for the office, Mayor of Cleveland at this critical period in our city's history. During his service as attorney for the City he prepared and had passed by the State Legislature the necessary laws and drew substantially all PETER WITT FOR MAYOR. Peter Witt is the only mayorally candidate who has a constructive platform. Witt has been on the firing line in Cleveland for 30 years. He has proved his brains, his honesty, his energy. During the last three years Witt has been street railway commissioner. Under his guidance, three-cent fare has been made to succeed. His administration as tractioner has not been one of "political expediency." He has hewed to the line and he's been master of his job. Witt is a stanch believer in municipal ownership. His support of 3-cent light will not be half-hearted. He will make 3-cent light as successful as he has made 3-cent fare. Witt stands for progress, for municipal efficiency. He is worthy of support. Here are some planks from Witt's platform: platform. Rewrite the building code so as to encourage and not hamper building construction in Cleveland. Repave the principal thoroughfares. Push the Union Depot project. Rid Cleveland of the two-telephone nuisance and improve telephone service. Force the illuminating company to lower its light rates; if it refuses, extend many lights over all of Cleveland. Work for the reformation of tax laws and add $1,400,000 yearly to Cleveland's income. Peter Witt is a cosmopolitan in the best sense of the word, without religious or race prejudice. Throughout his 46 years of life in Cleveland he has been intimately associated with men of all nationalities and blood and all testify to his warm sympathy and kindness of feeling. As mayor of Cleveland he would be a true friend and champion of the Colored people—Adv. Madn't Brought Him Luck. Mrs. Winkle (meeting him at the door—"Oh, John, I'm so glad to see you! Baby isn't well. I think there is a bad leak in the boiler. I have the bill for the taxes, the clothesline fell down in the mud, the cat has eaten up the goldfish, and Walter has sprained his ankle, so you must go for the doctor at once. Anything new happen to you today, dearest?" Mr. Winkle—"Nothing worth mentioning except that on my way home I found a four-leaved clover." — Woman's Home Companion. THE GAZETTE 1930 existing ordinances providing for the great public improvements which have since been completed and are now under process of construction, namely: The Walworth Run Sewer. The Great Intercepting Sewer System. The East Side Water Tunnel and Intake. The Widening of Cuyahoga River. The Rockefeller Boulevard System. The Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights System. The Edgewater Park System. The Selzure of the Lake Front. The new City Hall. The County Court House Law. The West Side Market House. The Garbage Plant. The Wilson Avenue and other large bridges, and many other great improvements. He also acquired the title to the Canal Lands from the state for the City, valued at $3,000,000.00, and drew the ordinances that started the flight for low street car fare in Cleveland. A vote for Mr. Norton is a vote for good government. Of the several candidates for mayor, Minor G. Norton is the only one who has to his credit so many practical demonstrations of true friendship for our people. For years he has never lost an opportunity to render material assistance to our candidates for political office, and others. Now is the time for us to show full and proper appreciation by casting our votes for him on Tuesday, next. He is not only the best educated candidate for mayor but also the best fitted, as a result of thorough experience in municipal affairs. Our people will remember, with a great deal of satisfaction, the fact that he was director of law under Mayor Robert E. McKisson, the best mayor Cleveland has had in the last quarter of a century.—Adv. EIGHTEENTH WARD. Mr. Rothkopf, or the Present Councilman. Have you been getting your share of the representation in council? Can you point to what extent YOU have been benefited for the six years the present councilman has represented you? Your present councilman was the only man in the council who opposed the new Union Depot. Is he voicing your sentiment in that regard? Mr. Rothkopf, who is the only other candidate, has lived in the ward for ten years, and is a man with progressive ideas. He is for cheaper light, better and cleaner streets, playgrounds, comfort stations, and for the things that will make the 18th ward a better place to live in. Mr. Rothkopf has shown his friendship to the Colored race, when he was instrumental in successfully fighting the Grand theater for discrimination in the case of Noble Sissle. Mr. Rothkopf 'deserves your support...' Adv VOTE FOR JUDGE McGANNON. William H. McGannon, chief justice of the Municipal court, is a candidate for re-election. Judge McGannon has been endorsed by The Cleveland Press, The Plain Dealer, The Waechter Und Anzelger, the Cleveland Bar association and the Civic league. He has occupied the position of chief justice since the court was established. He has made good. He has made the Municipal court a success, and was the founder and builder of the Conciliation court, better known as "the poor man's court," where every man is his own lawyer. He deserves and his past work entitles him to the support of every voter.—Adv. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. VIRGIL J. TERRELL, ESQ. Candidate for Judge of the Municipa Court, Four Year Term—A Practical Friend of the Race Who Should be Elected. Hon. Virgil J. Terrell, of the law firm, Dawley, Ewing, Counts & Terrell, American Trust Building, city, is one of the many candidates for judge of the Municipal Court, who should be elected. In addition to twelve years' experience as a lawyer, he has served a couple of terms in the Ohio legislature most acceptably to his constituents of this county. His character and professional standing are of the very best. This is doubtless the reason why he received the fourth highest vote in the Bar Association, recently, when its members were voting to endorse candidates for judge of the Municipal Court. Mr. Terrell a valid" claim upon our voters, for their enthusiastic support is his activity in our behalf, three years ago, when we sought to defeat a vicious, anti-intermarriage bill, introduced in the House of Representatives, at Columbus, by the Cincinnati member. Mr. Terrell not only repeatly spoke against the miserable bill, but did some most efficient work in our successful effort to encompass its defeat. In all of his work in the Legislature, Mr. Terrell placed human rights above property rights. We owe him generous support on election day, next Tuesday, and The Gazette urges our people to give it freely. His practical friendship for the race will be found to be even stronger in the future than it has been in the past.— SAMUEL M. PARKS. Among the various candidates that are before the citizens of Cleveland for the office of Municipal Judge at the election to be held on Tuesday, November 2nd, there is none more entitled to support and consideration than Mr. Samuel M. Parks, candidate for the four year term for judge of the Municipal Court. Mr. Parks has lived in Cleveland for the past fifteen years and has been practicing law during all these years and has succeeded in making a host of close friends. These friends believe that his knowledge of law, his study of human nature, makes him a fit man to place on the bench of the Municipal Court. Mr. Parks has had a wide experience in law during his fifteen years of practice, and his assimilating qualifications have given him a fund of data that would be of great benefit to him as a judge, and at the same time of infinite good to those who are in the right, who hadvertently may be brought into the Municipal Court. This wide range of experience that he has had should have the tendency to bring his candidacy to the attention of our readers and we feel that they and their friends will give him their support on election day.—Adv. SAMUEL H. SILBERT. PROSECUTOR SAMUEL H. SILBERT. CANDIDATE FOR MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE, is well known to the Cleveland people. As Police Prosecutor, he has given every one who appeared before him a square deal. By means of the SUMMONS SYSTEM and PROSECUTOR'S CONCILIATION COURT, he has saved many thousands of people the humiliation of arrest and kept thousands of families within reach. Reward faithful service and a splendid record for fair dealing by voting for SAMUEL H. SILBERT CHARLES C. GOLDMAN, ESQ. Popular Candidate for the Council in Ward 12—Hag Strong Friends Among Our People of That Ward and Others of the City. Chas, C. Goldman, popular candidate for City Council for the 12th ward, prides himself on the fact that he numbers among his hundred of friends, several of the most prominent colored people of this community. Mr. Goldman was born at 2652 E. 27th St. twenty-four years ago, and has for the greater part of his life lived and associated with people of the Afro-American race. He knows the needs of the district, having been born and reared there, and his educational training ably qualifies him to give expression to those needs. He is a graduate of Meyflower school, Central High School and is of the University of Michigan and is a practising attorney with offices in the Engineers' Bldg. The present condition in Municipal affairs are suicid that men of ability and learning are needed to guide them. Mr. Goldman has followed the Kingsbury Run project since its inception, eight-years ago, and deplores the way in which this most worthy project has been handled, and favors a speedy completion of the park. He favors an extension of the Department of Public Welfare, so that the people in general may have a closer association with the administration of municipal affairs. He feels that three cent fare, light and heat are in danger, and pledges himself to do his utmost to perpetuate these great public commodities. He deplores the fact that the people of this city, will be asked to bond themselves to the extent of $1,500,000 over and above its present indebtedness of fifty-one and one-half million dollars, and favors such measures as will conserve the public funds. Withal he favors such measures as will be conducive to a bigger, brighter and better Cleveland. Mr. Goldman feels that every councilman should maintain two offices in two public institutions in the ward; each, one night a week, where the people of the district would feel at liberty to come and offer any suggestions, for the interest of the ward of make complaints, and if elected he will make arrangements to do this. The voters of this community will duly acquit themselves. Nov. 2, 1915, by voting for Mr. Goldman for the office to which he aspires.—Adv. ROBERT C. GUCIARDO. Candidate for the City Council in Ward 12 is the People's Friend—Reasons Why "Bob" Should Be Elected. Who is Robert C. Guciardo? Robert C. Guciardo has lived in the 12th ward for the past thirty years and in that time has worked his way up from a poor boy to the proprietor of a first-class bowling alley and pool parlor, located at 1714 Woodland Ave. He is one of the largest taxpayers in the ward, having invested his money in property in that district. Mr. Guciardo has never refused a helping hand to any unfortunate-person in distress, regardless of race, creed or color. Having been identified with our people in business, he feels that he is better qualified to know the needs of our voters of his ward than any other candidate. For years he formed a partnership, in business, with Mr. Walter Brooks. Reasons Why "Bob" Guciardo Wants to Be Councilman. I advocate a municipal home to care for the homeless workingman. I am in favor of all necessary improvements that will benefit the people of the 12th ward and will lend my best endeavors to comply with the wishes of my constituents. I favor boxing and sports of all kinds, that will add to the betterment of our young people. I also believe in a segregated district under municipal supervision and is opposed to its abolishment because it tends to make these people of the underworld our neighbors. A vote for Robert C. Guciardo means a vote for your own interests. Be sure to remember him when you go to the polls, to vote, on Tuesday.—Adv. Lesson of Modern Sport To the young athlete the lesson modern sport teaches is: Attend as well to the cultivation of the mind as to the training of the body and its muscles, if you would enjoy competitive athletics to the full. The first is as necessary as the last to become superexcellent at any sport, to get the greatest enjoyment from sport and to cone with its emergencies. SALEN'S CONTRACT With the People of Cleveland ATTORNEY GEORGE F. WATERS, A Strong Candidate for the City Council, in the Eleventh Ward. George P. Waters, Esq., candidate for the Council in the Eleventh ward, a graduate of the law department of the University of Michigan, has practiced law for twenty years; and has lived in the Eleventh ward for 19 years. A life-long republican, a friend of the race, his activity in politics for years and in the practice of law, as well as his long residence in the ward, have made him many friends, nearly all of whom are active supporters of his present candidacy. Attorney Waposition he seeks and our voters will make no mistake if they give him ters is splendidly equipped for the their support on election day, Nov. 2, 1915.—Adv. EXPORTS ON INCREASE EXPORTS ON INCREASE UNITED STATES PRODUCERS HAVE INCREASED SHIPMENTS TO SOUTH AMERICA. Washington, D. C.—The commerce department has just made public figures which show that United States producers have increased their exports to 'South America, as well as to neutrals in Europe.' In the eight months ended Sept. 1, they shipped $21,077,463 worth of goods to Brazil, as compared with $15,973,222 the year previous; $31,149,869 to Argentine, as compared with $19,648,591 the year before, and made corresponding increases to other South American countries. The report showed that from five to seven times as much goods went to Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands this year as last. To the voters of Cleveland I issue the following pledges which I contract with them to fulfill as Mayor after January 1: PUT A STOP TO EXTRAVAGANCE With a deficit of $1,500,000 in its operating expenses, with a bonded debt of over $50,000,000, with the expenditures of the single year 1914 reaching the enormous sum of over $16,000,000, the one great issue that concerns every citizen is that of calling a halt to extravagance and folly and installing the same methods that govern ordinary business. My first and most emphatic pledge is that my administration will be NON-PARTISAN, conducted strictly on the lines of efficiency with a view to the elimination of waste and the most careful expenditure of the tax payers' money. UPHOLD THE CHARTER. The people adopted the City Charter to obtain Home Rule and a non-partisan government. It has falsely been used to build up a political machine and to defeat the people's wishes. I believe the Charter was adopted in good faith and should be enforced in good faith and that any other course is a betrayal of the public trust. PURE WATER. I believe a pure water supply to be a vital need of Cleveland. In order to obtain it the City Sewage must be destroyed instead, of being run into the lake. I will push the establishment of a sewage disposal system and will insist that the pollution of our water supply shall cease. MUNICIPAL LIGHT. The Municipal Electric Light Plant is the property of the Citizens and its affairs should at all times be subject to public inspection, which is now denied. I favor extending it with a view to giving ALL CITIZENS, as well as manufacturers, the benefit, of low prices. 3.CENT FARE AND GOOD SERVICE. During the past year the street car fare has been raised by a charge of one cent for a transfer. This was largely occasioned by investments in expensive lands, buildings, and equipment, enormously increasing the value of the Company's Assets. JOHN J. BENNER A Candidate for the People as Coun- cilman of the 11th Ward. Mr. Benner favors opening streets west to E. 9th St., and north to Euclid Ave. Also to put streets in proper condition which at present are in a very bad condition. He advocates a free public bath house for the ward. He will also see to it that the ward gets better lighting facilities, if elected. Mr. Benner has been a resident of the ward for fourteen years and has been in business there for nine years. He has a host of friends who will vouch for his integrity, honesty and square-dealing.-Adv. Save the Pinafore Stuff. They have "canned" the singing master and stopped the singing lessons at the United States naval training station on the great lakes, substituting Swedish athletic exercises. "Because," explains the commandant, "this is no Pinafore. We haven't time for musical comedy sailoring." But you might as well cut the crow out of a rooster as the song out of a sailor. Singing, moreover, is about the largest asset of patrolism. It is one of the sweetest commentaries on our sweet state of civilization that lighting must be set to music. Let us hail the blessed day when war shall be carried on exclusively with our vocal cords. Report Monster Meteorite. A monster meteorite is reported to have fallen into the sea off the Chinese coast recently. Men in a lighthouse, who saw it flash past, said it was luminous and reminded them of a monster electric light globe. The object fell into the sea, and immediately after came a mighty explosion which severely shook a nearby island. The meteorite missed the lighthouse tower by only a few hundred feet. N'S CONTROL in the People of Cleveland In addition to the increase of fare, the riders are inconvenienced in the routing of cars, particularly in the breaking of the lines at the Public Square. I favor THROUGH SERVICE on all lines, the routing of cars to meet the wishes of the riders, and extensions to meet the growing conditions of our suburbs. REPAIR THE PAVEMENTS. I will devote every force that can be employed to remedying the deplorable condition of our pavements and will adopt a permanent system of keeping them in repair. To take care of the enormous increase in traffic occasioned by automobiles, I will favor the opening of thoroughfares and dead end streets. MUNICIPAL DANCE HALLS. The introduction of Municipal Dance Halls is a perversion of the movement to popularize the parks. The police and park attaches testify to the morality that has resulted from the operation of these Dance Halls late into the night. The evil results warrant their discontinuance. Every small home owner in Cleveland is called upon to pay his share toward the support of criminals and degenerates at Warrensville Farm, which is made so attractive to them that it draws them from all parts of the Country at a great cost to the public. I will correct these perverted policies and conduct the institutions for the real purposes for which they exist. POPULARIZE THE PARKS. Having myself established the first playgrounds, baseball diamonds, skating rinks, etc., including Sunday baseball, in the public parks, I will bend every effort to still further utilize the parks in both summer and winter and will give particular attention to the needs of the children. INTERFERENCE WITH SOCIETIES. The policy of subjecting business men to all sorts of annoyance under the pretext of regulation has now been extended to the individual until he finds himself deprived of the rights to gather in social intercourse at his club or lodge with which he has been at- COPY FIVE CENTS ALEX. BERNSTEIN, ESQ., Candidate for Re-Election to the City Council in the 12th Ward—Election, Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1915. One of the best and most active Republican members of the city council, in the interest of the city as well as the residents of Ward 32, is Attorney Alex. Bernstein. Capable, experienced, genial, and aggressively active, Councilman Bernstein by long and faithful service has earned and merits re-election. Our people of that ward and the city are too familiar with his sterling friendship for the race to necessitate any comment along that line. Neither is it necessary to urge them-to vote for him because that they will do so freely and generously on election day. For Council First Choice Second Choice Other Choices ALEX BERNSTEIN —Adv. Zeppellins or Spiders? A story is told of a young French woman who observed with punctillousness the wartime precautions ordered by the police. She kept the shutters closed at nightfall and the curtains pulled down, so that not a speck of light would escape from her apartments. But one night, when reading the newspaper, she said that she had reached the limit. The newspapers said that if the Zeppellins came all persons must go into the cellars. She told her friends she would not go down into the cellar. "I do not care a fig for the Zeppellins," she said. "It is no use asking me. I will not go down into the cellar." "But why?" asked her friend. "Because," she replied. "I am afraid of spiders." RACT eland attached through the years of his manhood. The quarters of these organizations form the collective home of the members and should no more be interfered with than is the private home of any citizen. CLEVELAND FIRST. The composite character of our population is developing men and women possessed of the best qualities of a score of nationalities. From their ranks can be picked the men to fill our city offices. It is not necessary to go outside. SALOON REGULATION. The tendencies and desires of this cosmopolitan population should be reflected in the life of the City. Every test vote has demonstrated the liberal tendencies of the people. I will recognize these tendencies in a lawful way. BOXING COMMISSION: I will appoint a City Boxing Commission to enable this manly sport to be properly conducted in established clubs and organizations. POLICE AND FIRE PENSIONS. Believing that the men who devote their lives to the protection of life and property of our citizens are entitled to support as old age comes upon them, I favor a definite pension system for the police and fire departments. Abolishing the segregated vice distript has not solved the vice question. It has resulted in the spread of women engaged in this traffic to reputable parts of the City. L. Will co-operate with the best authorities, particularly those familiar with European methods, in working out this problem. BUILDINGS I favor simplifying the Building Code so that it may be enforced with common sense, justice and reason to everyone alike. I will appoint a Building Inspector whose policy will be based on courtesy and helpfulness, rather than petty tyranny. The foreign element of builders is so large as to warrant the printing of important features of the Code in the newspapers printed in foreign languages. CHARLES P. SALEN. —Adv.

The recent town elections, which were held all over Connecticut, show strong Republican margins in the "Nutmeg" state. Connecticut is full of "war bride" centers, but this does not blind the land of steady habits to the fact that real and constant prosperity in Connecticut is indissolubly connected with Republican policies. The Mound Bayou, Miss., State Bank, our second bank under the Guarantee Act of the State of Mississippi, opened for business on Oct. 21. Capital, $10,000; surplus, $2,000, fully paid. Hon. Chas, Banks, who put up $11,000 of the $12,000, was cashier of the Mound Bayou bank that failed, last year. Congratulations, Mr. Banks. He has certainly dealt his critics a "body-blow." May success ever attend this new venture in the banking business, is our sincere and earnest wish. VOTE AGAINST "PROHIBITION!" The anti-prohibition meeting of our people at Ideal hall, Thursday evening, addressed by Moses Jones, Eaq, of Dayton, and others, was certainly a fine one. The speakers made clear the positive failure of "Prohibition," wherever it has been tried in this country, and the harm such trials have done not only the business of the states that made the mistake of trying it but also the great loss in positions and jobs that befell the people, as a direct result. Always our thousands of hard-working men, and even women, suffer quickest and most, in this respect, because they, as a rule, are the first to be discharged when business depression comes from any cause or there is a necessity for limiting the number of employees in an establishment. This fact is a "sermon" in its self that ought to impress all, and it does seem to The Gazette that, if our people, our voters, will only stop and think twice before going to the polls, on Tuesday next, they will not cast their ballots so as to help make their present strenuous struggle, for proper employment and a decent existence, all the harder. The same solution of the liquor problem lies in the licensing system with proper restrictive laws local and state, and to this end Ohio includes of course this city and county, is making splendid progress. It is only a question of time, and not a long time, either, until the evils to which our attention has been directed by the "prohibition" advocates, will have been abated to the minimum. Who thought it possible to so thoroughly close the saloons at midnight and on Sundays as has been the case since the adoption of the licensing system? Have we closed our eyes to the elimination of the hundreds of objectionable things, since and as a direct result of its adoption, and cannot this practical course be continued and followed until the desired condition, as far as the liquor question is concerned, is attained? Isn't this decidedly better than resorting to a thing, "prohibition" which has been a failure wherever attempted, and which has only resulted in the multiplication of the "speak-easy", "blind pig", dives and "drug-stores" where liquor is illegally sold? "Prohibition" has not and does not prohibit wherever it has been tried and all know it. Therefore, do not be mislead, by professional extremes and agitators, into voting against your own personal interests, those of your city and state, and for a thing ("prohibition") that does not do what is claimed for it, and everybody knows it. SUBWAY AND TERMINAL. Of the eight ballots to be handed the Cleveland voter when he enters his booth Nov. 2, the one he will have the most difficulty in marking intelligently unless it has been given careful previous study is the ballot bearing the eleven public questions pertaining to Cleveland. The fate of three mammoth railroad projects, four important proposals to issue bonds in the aggregate sum of $3,100,000, a special tax levy sufficient to raise $2,000,000, two amendments to the city charter and decision as to whether the city shall purchase the Cleveland Railway Co. at a cost of more than $34,000,000 depend on the way the voters mark this ballot. However the three propositions that overshadow all others on this ballot in importance to the masses of residents of this city, and the ones they should vote for in preference to all the others, and indeed, even if they do not vote for any others are: Left. hand column, top question (headed ordinance 36708.A)-This is the Cleveland and Youngstown freight terminal franchise, submitted to referendum. A vote for the ordinance means you approve the franchise voted by the council to permit the C. & Y. to construct a great freight terminal in the lower Broadway S. E. district. Left hand column, next to top (headed ordinance 37904-A)—This is the Union depot ordinance, submitted to referendum. A vote for the ordinance means you approve the ordinance passed by the council as the culmination of years of negotiations between the city and the railroads, establishing an agreement under terms of which the railroads will erect a new Union station and the city trades certain lake front lands with the railroads. Left hand column, third from top (headed ordinance 36233-A)—This is the Barber subway grant, submitted to a referendum. It is a grant voted by the council to allow the Cleveland, Akron & Canton Terminal Railway Co. to construct a freight subway under E 55th St. Voters should familiarize themselves with the wording of this proposal, as the term "Barber subway" does not appear in the title. A vote for the ordinance means you ap prove the franchise voted by council. Has since about every voter in the city has decided to support the union station ordinance without much inquiry into its details, believing almost any deal looking to an adequate station preferable to none, there are many who are not familiar with the SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS the two entrprises mentioned—the freight terminal project (ordinance, 36708-A) and the subway project (ordinance, 36233-A)—can confer by affording easier and cheaper freight distribution, eliminating the uphill haul from freight houses in the flats or on the lake front, developing a new dock district at the foot of E. 55th St., opening a new manufacturing district all along that thoroughfare and in the upper river valley and promoting the city's industrial growth generally. These are HIGHLY DESIRABLE ENDS—enough so, it would seem, to justify thoughtful voters in approving both proposals on the ground that Cleveland will REAP THE BENEFIT promised, and that the public's interests are FULLY SAFE GUARDED, as it is the city administration's duty to do before such measures are submitted to popular vote. AN OPEN LETTER From James S. Lytle, Candidate For Council From the Eleventh Ward Subject to Election Nov. 2, 1915. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Dear Sir:—I count as one of the finest honors in the world unstained election to public office, and, when I announced my candidacy for council I declared I would rather court defeat than promise rashly to gain a single vote. The Eleventh ward has always been a Republican ward. I have been a Republican all my life because I believed Republican principles are the principles of progress and prosperity, and if there is one virtue that binds me to the colored vote, I believe that the Republican party. None but able men have been councilmen from the Eleventh ward, and it will be a proud moment for me if I can measure up to their record of service in the performance of public duty. Politics may be the F sepulcher of weak characters but if I have read history to any purpose it also is the crucible of strong characters, for we all know strong temptations strengthen strong convictions. I have never faltered in my political utterances and I have never betrayed a trust or a friend. For sixteen years I have been a profoader on a local daily newspaper and if I am elected I will be as loyal to the interests of the Eleventh ward and the entire city as I have been loyal to the city. For twenty-two I am elected I will accept a trust to be kept inviolate, and what talent and energy I possess I will willingly devote to my duties as councilman. I was born in Kirkwood, Mo., 42 years ago, and I have lived my life tending mostly to my own business. I have tried to win happiness for myself and I believe the best way to radiate happiness is to give the other fellow a chance to find happiness in his own way so long as he does not hit his neighbor in the effort. This is my platform and I sincerely believe it is the best platform of any candidate in the Eleventh ward. At any rate it is the honest expression of my honest opinions. Wright, Sumar, Philippine Islands. Sept. 25. 1915. Dear Sir:: Find enclosed Philippine postoffice order for $1.50. Please send me "the old reliable" Gazette, as I have received dozens of our people from the world over. Wishing you every success, I am, Yours truly, JOHN RYANS. Our people here have two or three churches but no grocery store. But one of the best fruit-stores in the city is conducted by Mr. Jack, near the court house. We have some of the best barbers, Rev.

Wheeler in a speech at Portsmouth, Ohio, on November 29th, 1914, in which he said: "What we plan to do is to make the saloon, distillery and brewery element bankrupt themselves trying to keep Ohio wet, and we will succeed.

Martin, Esq., in behalf of the citizens. Many of our leading voters, and scores of voters, in the 11th ward, are opposed to Tom Fleming's candidacy for the City Council. Many think he is asking too much, and frankly say so. Others remember his failure to accomplish the goal of interest on people in that ward, and the entire city, when a member of the council before. Still others say membership on the state republican committee and a deputy oil inspectorship is more than enough for ONE person, republican or otherwise, in the ward. There are many other voters who are definitely unpopular candidacy which it is unnecessary to enumerate and state at this time.

Councilman William Stolte, of the 19th ward, candidate for re-election to the City Council, Nov. 2, 1915, is so well known to our people of the East End, especially in ward 19, that it is hardly necessary to urge them to support his candidacy at this time. His friendship for the race is of long years' standing, not something of recent date. People hold friends by showing return friendship when possible. If elected, Mr. Stolte will be our friend in the future as he has been in the past—Adv.

Baer candidate for re-election to the Municipal court, six-year term, should be re-elected by a tremendous majority. The Colored people do not want to forget the public service Judge Baer rendered them recently. Every reader of this paper should give Judge Baer their support.—Adv. No member of the race, a voter, can afford to cast his ballot for Harry L. Davis, a candidate for mayor. The editor of The Gazette, two years ago, when Davis was a candidate, repeated, two or three times, the insulting comment on the race which Mr. Thomas wrote. The judge absolutely refused to deny. Show your self and race pride by refusing to vote for Davis. Robert Fisher, candidate for municipal judge, 4 year term, was born and raised in this city and is 41 years old. He made his own way in life and put himself through law school and college. He worked as a newspaper reporter in order to raise money for his education in the law, and was city hall, court house and political reporter. Mr. Fisher never ran for public office before. He is honest, intelligent and hardworking. He can walk in life can appreciate the difficulties the common people have to contend with. He will temper justice with mercy. Mr. Fisher has proven himself a friend of our people.—Ady Last fall when the fight was on between the "wets" and the "drys"—just as it is now—who was it that announced ("with a flourish of trumpets" and with a "sour grapes" taste in their "financial" mouth) that they were "for prohibition"—because "The Gazette has housed him"—and they this time—for prohibition or against it? We see that they have capitulated, and now oppose prohibition! Good! Better late than never! Of course The Gazette had to lead in this as in all other good movements of material interest to the race, locally and otherwise—and ALWAYS WILL! They come and go, you know—that is 15 of them have, right here in Cleveland, been nearly 33 years ago—but, the old reliable" Gazette stays with you and is always "on the job" and in the lead. AKRON, O. NEWS. Our people have three churches here and no grocery store; a skilled workman—a contractor or carpenter, one of the best in the city. This is vouchered for by some of the leading people. He owns two valuable pieces of property, one near Buchtel college on Mill street, and gives employment to seven men; owns three shares in a cast-stone factory in Ohio. His wife is a graduate of McDonald's Institute, Chicago. Mr. Turner devoted between three and five years to becoming a skilled workman. With more attaining this high type of manhood, the race can't help but rise. His family is an excellent one and establishes a valuable precedent for our people. For the race and humility at large, W.

Styles That Pleased Our Grandmothers Are Being Brought Forward to Meet the Approval of the Women of Today. A fashionable millinery shape is represented by the Tahir model illustrated this week, writes a Paris correspondent. Here again we have the high crown and narrow brim but this is quite an "Alfred Stevens" hat. A peculiarity connected with it is the high roll of hair at the back which tilts the hat over the forehead. This is a revival of the fashions of 1878-1879. The hair is dressed high at the back and the hat, which almost always has a narrow brim, is placed in a slanting position on the head, very much higher at the back than at the sides or front. Quite a number of the new models are meant to be worn in this way. In my opinion this is not a pretty fashion, neither is it generally becoming, nevertheless it is liked enough to be popular. Most women look their best when wearing hats, or toques, which fit right down on the head, which give a natural outline, like the hats worn by men. White felt hats are going to be very fashionable all through the winter. They are made in sailor shapes, with a rather high crown; also in "bowler" shapes, with the brim slightly curled, like a man's hat. White felt hats will be worn with black serge moufflonne costumes, also with smart navy blue tailor mades. Some of the best of these pure white hats are not trimmed at all. They have simply a band of corded ribbon round the crown in mannish fashion. When accompanied by a floating veil in white lace washing such hats are exceedingly chic. A very well known Blairritz milliner recently showed me a charming floral toque which had been created for the queen of Spain. The shape was something between a turban and a bowl and it was covered all over with shaded wall-flowers. Then, near the edge of the brim, there was a cleverly folded twist of dull violet velvet and this trimming was caught down by the cut-jet buckle. A It was a simple, but highly original toque. The pretty Spanish queen has been dressing very quietly this season. As a rule, in the summer, she wears the most elaborate white costumes, accompanied by picture hats lavishly trimmed with pastel tinted feathers, but this year she has worn either all white or black and white, at any ceremonious functions which she attended at San Sebastian. NEW SCARFS ARE BRILLIANT Neckwear of Chiffon Has Made Its Appearance in All the Hues of the Rainbow. Among the new scarfs are breadths of chiffon in rainbow hues, measuring about a half a yard in width and one and one-half yards in length. They are weighted by broad bands of taffeta, either in violet, yellow or purple to match one of the prismatic colors of the scarf itself, and the taffeta is overwrought with delicate traceries done in steel, jet or crystal beads. This beaded garniture follows the edge of the hem of the chiffon scarf, and the whole affair is extremely decorative and designed to give just the right color balance to the frock of white taffeta, or mull or satin. Of course the scarf is seen to best advantage with the afternoon or evening frock, and the hat should either be all black, all white or match the color of the taffeta border of this accessory. Cover the Pillows. Cover pillows with good, strong cotton cloth. Make same as the slips, only have them fit closer and a little longer than pillow, with two buttons and buttonholes in hem to button them over. They not only save the ticking, but cases that have become thin can be used much longer and covers can be slipped off and washed often, which is essential where the pillows are usually taken between the teeth while changing cases.

Coca-Cola ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Candidate for Respectfully solicits your first choice vote and support at the election Nov. 2, 1915. MR. HUGH THOMPSON Proprietor First Class and Quick Service No Strings or Me Anti Red Tape Are You Witn Me? W.785 C.3933 AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In reply to the very interesting letter in the Times, referring to the essay on Southern music, by Prof. Albert Mildenberg, as published in your Sunday Magazine, I venture to add a few words, the result of great interest and much research in my personal acquaintance of many years with the well-known English Negro composer, Coleridge Taylor, and the famous American authority, Harry T. Burleigh, both of these men being grave and earnest musicians, yet each pursuing entirely different paths in the development of their art, writes Albert J. Weber in the New York Times. In the case of Coleridge Taylor it has been a steady advancement of a great talent for composition along serious lines, with no leaning toward development of a race peculiarity or special influence, it being simply the following out of the classical as well as lighter forms of musical compositions following those of all of the modern celebrated European composers. Regarding Mr. Burleigh, his work has been a development of an idea which has had as its main inception and essential character the bringing out of peculiar and individual Negro qualities, so far a. the themes and rhythm are concerned, of course, seriously treated, but nevertheless with the idea of establishing a splendid and delightful color in his work, and the existence of a characteristic that he attributes solely to the Southern plantation Negro. It is but just and fair to presume that the charming melodies sung by the Southern plantation Negro, such as "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot" and "Steal Away to Jesus" and the numerous other spirituals that I have heard unlimited times during my investigations in the South, throughout that glorious "Land of Dixie," are of absolutely pure Negro origin, and this fact no doubt re-enforces the contention of Prof. Albert Mildenberg's argument that we must look to these fundamental principles of melody and rhythm produced by these very Southern Negro singers, and maintained by them to this very day in their original form, for the very essence of the material upon which our American folk-song exists and may be further developed. The more treatment they will under go at the hands of the trained and skilled musicians the further away from their intrinsic value they will be drawn, the more will they lose their entire individuality. The natural melodies in their original form, free from harmonic treatment by technical musicians, will of themselves be a potent factor in our future musical development. Statistics show that 55,000 of the 165,000 people in Birmingham are Negroes. The school census of 1912 showed 21,336 Negro children of school age. The annual report of the Birmingham public schools of 1913 has 7,960 Negro children enrolled in the schools, 5,848 of whom attended regularly. This report shows 5,445 seats for these children, a lacking of 439 seats to accommodate them. Our schools are sadly crowded; many drop out for this reason, and I wonder to what extent are these conditions responsible for the large amount of work left for the juvenile court officers, for the restless, ignorant young Negro who crowds the dives, jails and mines, for the spread of infectious diseases.—Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman, in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. A correspondent of a Washington newspaper suggested that the United States create a Negro army of from 500,000 to 1,000,000 men for carrying on the reclamation work and other industrial undertakings in peace, and do our fighting in time of war. This is a most undemocratic and aberrant suggestion. Mercenary armies and vicarious fighters were in fashion 150 years ago, when despotic kings used them as their tools of oppression. The odium that attaches to the term Hessian, in our own history, is the result of the intense feeling among our own forefathers against hireling soldiers. The revolutionary fighters were willing to risk their fortunes, their energies and their lives in the struggle for liberty, and the English king brought into the field against them hired troops. Unprepared and undisciplined as the Americans were, their superior morale won for them victory. With the arrival at New York on the steamer Norseman from Liverpool of 18 distressed Americans, forming what was left of the crew of the British steamer Liberia, a dramatic chap. Mrs. Ella D. Rowland of Zillah, Wash., owns a vast apple orchard upon which it is claimed that she raises the finest apples that are grown in the United States. Farmers in England are now preparing to pay women the same wages as given to the men called away to war. In proportion to population, Japan has more suicides than any other civilized nation. Wild pigeons are known to be the most voracious caters of the animal kingdom in proportion to their size. One consumed 1,000 grains of wheat in a day. Tank Beverly says the wind doesn't blow as much as it did 20 years ago, but that the people do about as much of it as ever. Only a few men can do it by making a speech, but the man who is going to set up the cigars is sure to draw an audience. One of the most significant of the many hopeful tendencies in the South today is the spirit of co-operation being manifested on every hand between the white and colored people. Never in the history of the South, it is safe to say, has there been so keen an interest on the part of the white population in the condition and welfare of the Negro. In almost every large city below the Ohio river, from Galveston and Houston up to New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta and even Washington, there has been an awakening in some one or all of the phases of Negro life. In the agricultural districts of southern states there has been a revaluation of the status of the Negro and a new attitude with regard to him is being formed. Of the many causes to which this awakening is to be attributed two stand out most prominently. First, the publication of census statistics showing the appalling death rate from tuberculosis and other diseases among Negroes and the absence of any well regulated effort looking toward sanitation in Negro quarters. The interest which many people have taken has been, no doubt, the sort of interest one would if a mad dog were loose in the neighborhood; but, regardless of the motive of self-preservation, the "cleanup" movement has been responsible for great good. In the second place, the colored people themselves have been so untiring in their efforts to bring to pass a newer and better era in the land of which they are in indispensable economic part that their labors are now bearing fruit. There is a larger confidence in the future of their race, because they themselves are responding more rapidly and more satisfactorily now than ever before. The South in the next few decades will become one of the richest sections of the nation and of the world. It is therefore important not only that labor and capital should work in harmony, but it is even more important that there should be an interracial sympathy and co-operation in all economic and civic endeavor. The laborer can be kept skillful and efficient only as his environment is wholesome and strengthening, and not weakening and demoralizing. It is in the spirit of this paragraph, reflected in an address delivered by Maj. R. R. Moton of Hampton institute, that the leading white people of the South are coming to regard the Negro problem. That a large share of their concern in the matter lies on the side of the economic is shown by the interest taken in the efforts of a number of state and city health officials to improve the sanitary conditions in which the Negroes of their respective districts are forced to live.—Chicago Daily News. For carrying a policeman's club there has been invented a strap to be worn over one shoulder and extend through an opening in the coat, viziting the necessity for a belt. German scientists have utilized photomicrographs of crystallization forms of various chemical solutions to provide new patterns for various arts and crafts. If you know a good recipe for making raspberry jam, keep it to your self. Do not let it be said of you that you held a grudge against the world. Fortune is the woman who is too busy to have that kind of a tongue. ter was written into a colonization scheme, headed by Alfred Charles Sam, said to be chief of an African tribe, to transport Negroes from the United States to the west coast of Africa. The project, as described by Sam was to enable Negroes to go to West Africa, join a colony, and live in comparative luxury. The Liberia, financed, it was said, by Negroes, left Portland, Me, in May, and after stopping at Norfolk, Va., proceeded to Galveston, Tex., where it was reported to have taken on 40 Negroes and started on its voyage to the west coast of Africa. At Anamabu, on the African coast, the Liberia was seized by British authorities, as the owner was a British subject. While there the crew was stricken by fever and removed to a hospital. After their recovery they were discharged. They then went to Liverpool, whence they were sent home as consular passengers. "Auntie" Mahaley Gibbs, aged ninety-nine years, according to city health statistics, is dead at Memphis, Tenn. Ezra Meeker wants the Oregon trail appropriately marked. Inasmuch as Mr. Meeker appears to have more idle time than anyone else, why not let him mark it? In giving little Willie a present you can greatly facilitate matters by also giving him a hammer with which to break it up. The British Royal Navy reserve was established in 1859; the Royal Fleet reserve in 1907. If a thing palpably is rubbish a lot of people will believe in it. If it obviously is true, not one person in ten will accept it. Art, as construed by the magazines, appears to be a picture of a woman wearing only one or two articles of clothing.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1915 A vote of Confidence Nov. 2nd, is the only way to prove your appreciation for the men whose activity in the past has been a continuous fight for the people---PETER WITT FOR MAYOR For Mayor FIRST CHOICE SECOND CHOICE OTHER CHOICES PETER WITT X EGG SHELLS AND BAD WORDS San Diego Court Mystified by Testimony Offered by Mexican Girl and Chinaman. A pretty senorita, who spoke a combination of poor English and lisping Spanish, and an aged Chinaman, who conversed in even worse English mixed with Chinese phrases, emphasizing his words with ferocious gestures, furnished a half hour of amusement for visitors at the police court recently. Ah Coy, a vegetable vendor, was accused of disturbing the peace of Alla Gonzales at her home on State and Ash streets. Miss Gonzales claimed that Coy walked into the house unannounced and commenced throwing egg shells in her direction in a reckless manner. When she drove him from the house, she says, Coy stood on the outside and called her names in Chinese which she was positive were of a vile nature. "Dirty Mexican family catchem vegetables from me six months. Me no catchem money no time. Me no John D. Lockafella. Me raisem h-11" the excited Coy seemed to explain to the court. Justice Robinson ruled that Coy evidently was greatly excited when he entered the Gonzales home, and found him guilty of disturbing the peace. A fine of $25 was imposed, but the Celestial was released upon the payment of $10—San Diego Union. Mushroom Hunting Dangers. The advantage of rattlesnake hunting over mushroom hunting seems to be that you know the snake is poisonous. As near as can be made out there seems to be one sure way of telling the character of your find, and that was described by a foreigner who asked if gathering mushrooms was not risky: "All right, most every day. Blimey somebody die, then we not eat for a week." Jews in U. S. and England. There are more Jews in this country than there are in England by many tens of thousands. In both the United States and England the prejudice against the Jews, as compared with that in some other countries, is light. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF OHIO.

Bonds of the state of Ohio. A vote of Co only way to for the men has been a people---PET As a Mayor, there isn't a doubt in the mind of any one in Cleveland but what Peter Witt would make good in the office. He has clearly demonstrated he has the ability to see into problems and decide them wisely during his four years as commissioner of street railways for the city. Cleveland requires a man that cannot only grasp the weighty problems which are confronting city officials daily, but one who when he has once decided has the nerve and ability to carry the plans through to the end. Peter Witt is the only logical man in the race for Mayor who has the qualifications which Cleveland people require their Mayor to have. THEREFORE For Mayor PETER WITT Voters entering the election booth on Nov. 2nd will face some of the biggest problems they have ever been asked in Cleveland, not only in the wise selection of a chief executive, for the coming two years, does the effect of the results lay, but in the wisest possible decisions on the ordinances which have been submitted to the people by the city council pertain ing to the future industrial welfare of Cleveland. $10,000,000 In Work for Cleveland Workmen By Voting For The Cleveland, Akron & Canton Terminal Railway Co.

He is a cosmopolitan who realizes Cleveland is a cosmopolitan city and therefore opposes undue inter- ference with the personal habits of the people. 6. He has made good as Street Railroad Commissioner, preserved 3-cent fare and given Cleveland the best street railway service in the country. 7. He will establish 3-cent light throughout the city just as Tom L. Johnson established 3-cent fare. 8. He and he alone will be Mayor, if elected, not some political ring. 9.
