Y.—One of the most heinous of the many recent assaults upon colored people in the North York Southern white soldiers has been the object of much indignation for the last few days throughout Long Island. How a crowd of Alabama outlaws of the Rainbow Division so brutally assaulted the colored porter at the Long Island City Railroad station, last Friday evening, that the man may be on the island Railroad Co., yesterday. Chasrarr, fifty-two, has been employed as a porter at Long Island City for twenty years. Friday evening he boarded he 6 o'clock train to go to his home in Ozone Park. On the same train were twenty-five soldiers from the Alabama regiment. "Get off this train, you nugab," shouted one of the brushes as he made for Farrar. The old man, who suffers from hunguage, saw that the soldiers must trouble and started to obey. He did not move fast enough and several of them pushed him off the car. As he fell the soldiers jumped after him and kicked and beat him until the train started. Railroad employee were afraid to interfere. Farrar was taken to St. John's hospital.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 10550 EUCLID AVENUE Taylor Attacks Politicians'Acts Accuses "Professionals" of Boosting Living Costs to Workingmen. Candidate Pleads for Competent Heads of Departments — Mayor Davis Should Be Defeated. Professional politicians were charged with raising the cost of living to the workingman, by Hugh F. Taylor in a recent speech at Kohlmaire hall, W.4th St. "The home owner and the workingman are the victims of the professional politician," declared Mr. Taylor. "The home owner because of enormous and constantly increasing taxes and the wage earner because of increasing rent through increasing taxes. "A $1,200 a year politician in a $ 0,000 a year job gets the $10,000 from the taxpayer and home owner. To be re-elected he roars for improvements and to do the expense on the home owner and taxpayer. Up goes the rent for the workingman. "If a new convention hall is to be built, somebody must be paid $10,000 a year for advocating it and the $2,500,000 must be loaded on the home owner. If it can't be completed because of rising prices, without another bond issue, that also must be loaded on the home owner. "I incompetent construction of the titration plant resulted in losses which would have smashed almost any great private concern. The h me owner must stand these losses." "The 3-fare fare goes overboard Dec 1 because many thousands of dollars a year paid to a lawyer to manage the street cars made the loss of 3-fare fare the reasonable result to look for. The home owner and the workingman are hit again. The professional politician thinking only of himself, lacks the vision to perceive important changes. The purchasing power of the dollar is decreasing and the difficulty of obtaining the necessities of life is increasing. Cleveland's government must be administered in a business way and in the light of existing conditions. Burdens are being loaded on the people from all directions to a point where they can carry no more." "Harry L. Davis' boost book, whose sole argument for his re-election is a list of expenditures of other people, money is an affront to public intelligence. Of course, a great city must spend money, but it only proves that the professional politician has no more understanding of, nor feeling for the trials and difficulties of the ordinary man, woman and child than a babe in the cradle. Cleveland must be administered for the next four years at least not only in view of the city's affair, which present difficulties enough, but in view of a national and world wide state of affairs, which is unparalleled in history." "Mismanagement has put a dent far where it is today. Passengers have increased. Revenue has increased. Yet the railway company's defects grow, continued Taylor. This proves poor business management. The three-fare restraint and prepaid ticketing in the street railway commissioner's office a man who knows his business. "The repair of the city's streets has been neglected. Little holes have been allowed to become big holes." Taylor blamed the rapid deterioration of pavements to heavy trucks and proposed an equitable wheel tax to provide funds for repacing and repairing pavements. "If I become mayor," he said, "I will not appoint as my director of service a lawyer. What does a lawyer know about making pavements?" "At the City Hall they say, 'Well, the head of the department can men who know how to do this work.' I say to you that the head of anything has to know his job himself if he is going to direct the men under him intelligently." Mr Taylor pinned out that nearly two-thirds of the city's revenue goes to pay land interest and redemption. He said this proved the city had had enough of a political management and needed a business management. He condemned Police Order 73 and urged that special taxes be levied upon trucks and heavy vehicles operating in Cleveland. "I imagine a man whose income is $25 a week, with heavy mortgages, taking $15.50 a week, leaving him only $9.50 a week for food, clothing and rent for himself and family. Traffic for him is in plain sight. "That is Cleveland's financial state today. Bonds and interest take 62 per cent of the city's income. Thirty-eight per cent is left to run a vast establishment. Cleveland must have a change of policy and for this there must be a change of administration." "The victims' elements were never worse than they have been under the present administration. Order No. 73 was a betrayal of the good ordinary everyday people. It is still on the books. It is temporarily dead, only because an official has been elected. Vote for Hugh E. Taylor for mayor and help free Cleveland, frm the churches of a gang of politicians that have pushed our fair city down onto OH GEE! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BED WHY DID YOU INDORSE A MOVEMENT TO GIVE #30,000,000 WORTH OF LAND FRONT LAUNCH TO THE RAILROADS? WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE TO PREVENT GAB SHORTAGES!

DARB SUBMARY ORDINANCE MAYOR DAVIS DEBATE AVERY SPOOKS AFTER MAYOR "HARRY." the lowest plane it has ever occupied. do not vote for Davis Says Harry's "Good Boy," But Wants a Man. This is the story of a boy who not a boy in age, but in action—who has taken hold of the government of a $20,000,000 public corporation with $10,000,000 stockholders only to convert the city hall into a municipal player and with himself as the director of sports, and former Judge Marie Brinstone to an audience, at Royal hall recently. "The director of sports is Mayor Harry L. Davis. "The first time I find this boy's name mentioned is on the payroll of the general assembly of Ohio as a page. (The editor of The Gazette was a member of that assembly.) "This same boy some years later somewhat older, it is true, but still a boy appeared on a city ticket as a candidate for city treasurer. He was elected, then located for the same office. Another defeat, this time for county treasurer, is chronicled in this boy's record. Then defeats for clerk of the board of elections and director of schools are recorded. "Finally the story of his bible puts him in the office of mayor with the city hall as his playground, and seems ended by employees whose chief aim now seems to be to attend political meetings and show, Good boy, Harry, and Tom Harry. "And I say he is a good boy. "But while he has been playing "march" in the city hall the municipality has slipped back twenty years." Dayls Lacks Vision Cleveland looks to its mayor for three hours, in particular. Vision of the city's present and future possibilities, the maintenance of deciding the social and political life of the community and the administration of the city's business affairs on an efficient basis. Mayor Davis took office in January 1979, without noticeable qualifications, fitting him for its tasks. He appointed to his cabinet certain men whose conduct of their respective departments have been a response to the community and a burden to the administration. In particular, Safety Director Stryse and Service Director Berkstein have not measured up to their obligations. Their failure has been a real concern upon the mayor who marked them and kept them in office. Davis appointed outside the cabinet also have in mind instances in notably bad taste. Nat Cook, the mayor's private secretary, is an obstine. His selection was a mistake and his retaliation a continued distance from nature. But the worst features of the standout of the public bath in the case of Cook and of Stryse and Berkstein, is that not even a seagrapse is forthcoming, that were Mr. Davis reelected, he would weaken such endeavors from the service of his administration. The mayor has enriched or permitted a reign of small politics at the city half. The police investigation is fresh in the public mind. The chaos resulting from the mayor's police decentralization policy and general police hall melding in the affairs of the police department brought to Cleveland the unenviable distinction of leader him among American cities in the percentage of homicides during the past three months. Under Stryse, occupation of the police function was moved in by the mayor, the whole moral tone of the community was depressed. Yeges returned. Gamblers began operations. Nike became more brazen. There were open charges of sintertarnation relations between men close to the administration on the one hand and certain cloakkeepers and handguards on the other. The strong hand which formerly led the disorderly elements in the community in order lost its grip. The main response for these conditions was Mayor Davis. An immediate result of the crisis is SPOOKS AFTER MAYOR "HARRY." Investigation was the relinquishment of the last corner of the priestly modelling control over the post-regimental headquarters. Some of the conditions arising unilateral and add-on that control have since been im- arrival, they were to removed. But it took a comminute in town. Collingham was purty which the mayor tried to pres- sure the men could be hauled out by every means in his power—to be held, along with waken the community to the cell of a civil inspection and was pre- sized to live force. The mayor relation will be start- making convictions and reason for men are settled and him, made too effort to correct them, the drill in reckoning will forced to be so by public senses, most of them wantry-rialized by the investigation. Maines, he will be no. Great names ever thrilled un- two. There are 35 or ordinary condi- tions unless some one can deny. Since our men is- nalized to possibilities, Cleveland is of the cantonament and great business. Mayor Davis, his own field, the able to appreciate the possibilities of probably not he pro- he city whose affairs he was chosen to govern down to a direct. To him has come to make an indire- brassure of punishment civic prob- lides, find, now lem- sible. David Daily Pain Deaver. There are well a RUGH F.

Six hundred are here departing from Ohio, reached Camp Sickman, late Sunday night, following the arrival of 11 new from Ohio counties and from western Pennsylvania. More came three days of this week.

Medical inspection and vaccination and inoculation will be started as soon as the men are settled and they were put on the drill in relating camp. Their officers, most of them schooled at Des Moines, will be on hand in a day or two. There are 35,000 men now in camp. Since our men are in a corner of the captainment and will have their own hide, their presence will probably not be prominent and they can be held own to work without feeling the unimassment that the white troops have, now that most of the men here are well advanced in things.

Dear Sir: I understand that our people in your city, some time ago had some trouble in being served at restaurants, etc., that they had a law-suit is a result of the same and made good Now, will you please inform me what law they invoked to win the suit? I am about ready to enter a similar suit. My case is where two of our girls went to the city market for dinner and they were charged $1.50 for the same. My wife and one of our girls went to see what the trouble with them were informed that the reason was the girls were black; that they did not care, serve them, and that they were charged $1.50 to keep them from coming any more. My wife told them that the girls worked for us and that she paid the $1.50 out of our pocket and demanded the excess charge refunded, but they refused to do so. So I think I had better take them to task (into court) about the same, if there is any chance o do so. I am engaged in the Turkish bath and hair dressing business.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 "Carolina" Claude Kitchin (dem.) says he is in Congress at a loss. At a loss to the public. Where there is so much political coal smoke there is apt to be found no fire—and no coal for any fire. If the United States is such a bad country, why don't the Socialists leave it? No one will rush into the courts to get a restraining order. And now a lot of congressmen are going through the country to tell us why we went to war. And we have been in it six months! Well, Well! "Consumer Gets Reduction Soon." Newspaper headline. Yes, and if the consumer gets much more reducing there won't be anything of him left. Increasing the bonded indebtedness of this city means that you must pay higher rent or higher taxes. There are many bond issues being asked at this election. Remember this, please. "Dixie," says Leslie's Weekly, "always reaches the hearts, even of North-erners, and a rousing response is accorded it." Why not? An Ohio man wrote it. And notwithstanding the last election, Ohio is still in the North. --- Knowing the vice conditions have grown to fearful proportions in the Central Avenue district, and under the Davis administration, we fail to see how it is possible for our ministers and church people to support Mayor Harry L. Davis for re-election. By the same token and for the same reason, how can they again support Councilman Tom Fleming whose office is over a saloon? At the city election, Nov. 6, the electors of Cleveland are to be asked by our police and firemen to amend the city charter so that all city employees may enjoy the benefits of an eight hour day. We should rally to their support, not only because we have men on the police force but because it is but right and just that we do so. Therefore, let all of us vote for the eight hour amendment to the charter to be submitted to electors Nov. 6. --- Let us "put our shoulders to the wheel," next Tuesday, and so vote as to help get rid of Councilman Tom Fleming and Mayor Harry L. Davis. Vote for Stanley for councilman in ward 11, and throughout the city rally to the support of Hugh F. Taylor, Republican candidate for mayor. Stanley is a Republican, too. This is a duty we owe our people of this community as well as ourselves. Have you ever heard what City Treasurer Harry L. Davis (some years ago) said in the hearing of Mr. Thomas Graves (white), a local business man, when the matter of the appointment by him of an Afro-American to a clerkship in that office was mentioned to him (Davis)? Ask Mr. Graves, the editor of The Goatette, Arthur T. Abbot and scores of others in this community Mr. Graves has told. We cannot print it or we would do so. Every member of the race in the city ought to know this, as many do now. You cannot vote for Davis for mayor when you know it, and you will understand why he has steadfastly refused to appoint a single Afro-American to a clerkship in the city hall, and why other members of the race who have won positions in the city's service, in civil service examinations, have been refused them. The Maschke-Davis faction are only fooling Alex. Martin. Esq., and others, if they are gullible enough to believe it will back his candidacy for judge, at the coming election. The Davis administration will do nothing of the kind and we ought not to be foolish enough to expect it from individuals who refused us an assistant police prosecutor "because our candidate was colored," refused to appoint a member of the race to even a clerkship in the city hall, refused "Jim" Snyder and others positions they won in civil service examinations solely "because they are colored." and so on to the end of the long chapter. The Maschke-Davis faction is trying to fool Martin and all of his friends in order to get their support and votes for Mayor Davis and his "slate" candidates. Don't be so easy; don't be fooled by the prejudiced Maschke-Davis faction. It is willing that "Negroes" work in the garbage plant, "cuff" cuspidors and the like, and that is about all. To cap the climax they try to foist "Starlight" Boyd, and his first lieutenant, Tom Fleming, on us as local political leaders. LORD! HAVE MERCY! How do you like it? Most of our employees of the garbage plant secured their appointments under Mayor Baker. --- PUBLICATIONS TO COST MORE "The regulation of postal charges obviously should have had no place in a war tax bill," says Leslie's Weekly, "but Postmaster Burleson thought differently. He brought all his powerful influence to bear to have a clause inserted in the war revenue measure to heavily increase the postal rate on newspapers and periodicals. The result was the establishment of a zone system, which will compel leading periodicals to charge much higher rates to subscribers in distant zones than to those nearer the office of publication." The raising of rates by newspapers and periodicals has of necessity already begun. The day of cheap reading matter has been hastened to its end. It is said that the zone rates have been put on publications to make sure that they will have to pay the cost of their mailings. The next move will be to make deliveries in the rural district pay their cost or discontinue them. Developments along this line will be watched with great interest to see whether the recent postal changes were made from a sense of business justice or to penalize the press "CHARITY" HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Kennedy, who lived at 2371 E. 22nd St., on Oct. 21, about 8:30 p. m., left his mother's, 2812 Scovill Ave., for home. Drunken Italianans on Marion Ave., at the playgrounds, smashed a street lamp and attacked them, striking Mrs. Kennedy on the head and cutting a deep gash in her face with a fence picket. She was taken to Charity hospital and thence home where she died, the next day at 11:45 a. m. Twelve of her assailants were arrested, three being sent to Juvenile Court and nine bound over to the grand jury for hearing. Wednesday, Mrs. Kennedy was turned away from Charity hospital after her wounds were dressed because he did not have money to pay in advance for her care. Here is matter for our Women's clubs to investigate. There have been too many complaints of this kind, here of late. The editor of The Gazette and other members of the race, old residents, have been contributors to this institution for more that twenty-five years and our people, as well as others, are entitled to better treatment there as a result, and will get it if we take up this case with the head of that institution in a proper spirit and manner. Let our women take hold of this matter and handle it intelligently, as we feel sure they will, and good results for our people will follow immediately. Recently Mrs. Kate Brown Jackson was taken ill on a Scovill Ave. car, carried to the end of the line, brought back to E. 37th St. , where the car was met by the Police Emergency ambulance, and taken to the Third Precinct police station, E. 37th St. and Woodland Ave. so we are informed. Here it was found that she was ill and not under the influence of liquor as supposed. Then she was taken to Charity hospital. Though desperately ill, all this transpiring near midnight, for she was enroute home from a lodge entertainment when taken ill, she was given slight medical treatment and sent to her home, in E. 36th St., where she died the following day in the early afternoon. Mrs. Jackson was an old, highly respected and highly esteemed resident. In years gone by she had repeatedly contributed to the support of Charity hospital. Here are two lives that might have been saved if the persons had been permitted to remain in the hospital and had been given proper medical treatment. Will our good women of Cleveland sit supinely and permit such treatment to be accorded them without taking proper action and making prompt and proper protest? The Gazette does not think so. --- The efforts of Fleming supporters to draw the editor of The Gazette into the Dillard - Benner - Spero - Woods - Sutton eleventh ward political mess will fail for the very good reason that we refuse to be so placed. The publication in The Gazette of Sept. 29, 17, in which we announced our refusal to further lend aid to Dillard's candidacy which had been lowered, under the direction of Sam Woods and Charlie Sutton, to that of being but a "stalking horse" for Benner's (democratic) candidacy, made clear our position, and also explains our refusal to listen to Roger's plea for a renewal of our support when he came to The Gazette office with Mr. Byrd, that Saturday morning, Sept. 29, 17. Meantime, let all voters in that ward opposed to Fleming and Benner concentrate their voting strength on Edward Stanley, Republican candidate for the city council, and thus defeat both Benner and Fleming and elect Stanley who is far and away the best of the several candidates for the city council in the ward. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 Vote for Stanley, A Republican Candidate for Conncilman in the Eleventh Ward ---Far and Away the Best Candidate OF THE SEVERAL PERSONS SEEKING THE POSI TION—IF YOU CANNOT GIVE HIM YOUR FIRST-CHOICE VOTE GIVE HIM YOUR SECOND—HIS PLATFORM Decidedly the best equipped candidate for the city council in ward 11 is Edward Stanley. Living in that ward as we have for many years and knowing its many and crying needs as we do and familiar with the utter failure to date of any of its last three or four representatives in the city council to do anything that our people of that word so greatly need. The Gazette urges them to cast a vote for Edward Stanley for the position. We have his positive assurance that in event of his election he will not only see to it that we have better street car service and city service of every other kind that all the other wards in the city enjoy, and we in ward 11 do not receive, but he will confess to us his pleasure and satisfy us, his best of the ward. He is a wide-awake, hustling, intelligent business man, free from all political fetters, progressive, amiable and a "mixer." Mr. Stanley says: "If elected I shall concentrate my efforts to obtain the following improvements for the eleventh ward." HIS PLATFORM First—Adequate play grounds for the children, that they may not endanger their lives by having to play in the streets for lack of a safe and sanitary place where they can have their exercise and amusement, in perfect safety and not interfere with public traffic. It is committing a crime upon the rising generations not to furnish them with these conveniences, for their physical and mental development. They are as essential in their place as the school room. The muscles and nerves must have exercise and training along with the mental faculty. Let us not withhold from them these things because we were deprived of them in our childhood days. The more congested our ward becomes, the more necessary are these play grounds and, for more expensive the necessary space for them will be a valuable asset to the city the sooner the ground is purchased for these purposes the better. Let us consider it together. Second—A good sanitary bath house with a gymnasium for winter. Physical exercises for small as well as larger children and grown ups. To be free to all citizens of the war; with the exception of towels and they to be charged for at a nominal price, just sufficient to cover cost, if they do not bring or furnish their own. There is nothing to compare with a bath house for sanitation and the good health of the community. In connection there could be constructed a ball large enough for ward meetings of citizens, where meetings could be held once each month to talk over the needs and improvements of the ward. Third—Another large city hospital is needed where working could be taken care of without costing them a 'king's ransom' for the accommodations they receive. While hospitals we have there are times when it is impossible to get into any of them for one of limited means, but need the service that can only be had there. Hundreds die every year in this city for lack of hospital accommodations. Fourth—A municipal court attorney who shall be at the service of working men and others with free advice on all court proceedings, and questions of law and proper procedure to collect wages or other debts, that are small, but too much for a workingman or some poor woman to lose, yet they cannot afford to go to an attorney and pay him the fee that he would charge for his advice in such matters. Fifth—Better street lighting is needed on many of the streets of the eleventh ward. If we expect to decrease crime, and make the ward safe to live in, we must have more light on our streets. Well lighted streets are the o'er to crime and the best protection community can have against burglaries and all kinds of misdeeds. Let us have more light and less crime; better street cars and street car service If elected to the council I shall use very effort to have the municipal lights extended to the eleventh ward so that we may have our share of the city service, the same as many of the other wards are now enjoying, and if we can not get that, make arrangement with the Cleveland Illuminating Co. to furnish more lights on our streets. Let us have more lights any way. Sixth—I shall endeavor to procure for the eleventh ward, better police protection than we now have, to the end that we clean up our part of the city and make desirable place to live and do business in. Two of the principal streets in the eleventh ward end abruptly at East Twenty-second street. If elected, I will do all in my power to have either Cedar avenue or Carnegie avenue cut through to town, which will help business, improve real estate values and traffic regulations. Other things that we are entitled to may be suggested from time to time and taken up for consideration by the people of the eleventh ward and will receive my prompt attention. EDWARD STANLEY. In the matter of public positions Mr. Stanley assures The Gazette that, in event of his election, personal and political preference shall cease and that those deserving shall be elected as far he is able to direct; furthermore, intelligent Afro-Americans shall not be restricted to positions in the city jailer service and at the garbage plant, but that our young men and women and older ones capable shall have higher and better positions in the city's service, just as members of the various other classes of residents of the city are given. Give Mr. Stanley a vote on Nov. 6—either a first, second or third choice vote. This much you can surely do in the interest of yourself, family and others of our people, residents of ward 11.

DON'T VOTE FOR FLEMING Ic has Done Absolutely Nothing For Our People of Ward 11. Our people of ward 11 have never nominated or elected Tom Fleming to the City Council. They have never wanted nor have they ever really accepted him as a candidate for or as a member of that body. In every instance he has been foisted upon them by Maurice Maschke, the local Jewish "Republican" boss. The effort to make it appear that our people of ward 11 regard him as their candidate is a silly one, and no one knows this better than Tom Fleming and the few Negro employees of the city garbage plant and janitor service who are trying to force an acceptance of his candidacy for reelection. It is interesting to note the rapidity with which they secured the withdrawal of a Spero-Dillard candidacy. Woods-Sutton-Spero Fleming served the City Council. When he posed the worst street-cars and street car service in the city; gambling and hawdy houses, buffet flats, speak-casual galore and about every form of vice imaginable rampant in the ward; throughout his terms of office, positively no effort to improve this sad condition of affairs and no protest from him, as far as we have been able to learn; no material improvements worthy of special reference have been secured to the residents of ward 11, and those who wished to see him, invited to do so at his office over a saloon. This latter ought to appeal especially strong our ministers, and the members of their party, as well as others in the ward as others in that vicinity. Much more of an indictment can be brought against Tom Fleming's candidacy for re-election to the City Council if necessary. Not only our people but all residents of ward 11 ought to be and doubtless are familiar with the facts. This doubtless explains why his ignominious defeat or election day in November is so generally conceded. LOCAL ITEMS Last Wednesday there was a strike at the Colonial hotel, the white waiters endeavoring to force out the colored waiters, it is said. By the time it was settled, in the evening, one of our waiters had been pretty badly beaten up in front of the hotel (in the afternoon). As far as we have been able to learn, this is about all the satisfaction the strikers got. Is Councilman Tom Fleming for or against the saloon? It might be well, at this time, for our Ministers' Alliance and their and other churches and clergymen to "smoke him out" and find out where he stands on this all important question. You know his office is over a saloon. Make him declare himself on this question, if you are really sincere in your agitation of it. The boys say "Starlight Boy," Tom Fleming's chief under Maurice Maskeh, has been riding around ward 11 in an auto with Bener, the democratic candidate for the city council in that ward, asking second choice votes, just like he did two years ago. The question is whether "Star" is not trying to defeat Tom? Stranger things have happened. Our people of the 20th ward should support the candidacy for the city council of Mr. Phil Opper, a life-long active Republican and sincere friend of the race. Will Mrs. or Miss Douglass, who called recently relative to a case about an automobile Akron, call again at 774 GazaZoo, where he learns of importance to them? The Optimistic club will hold its annual banquet, Wednesday evening, Nov. 7, 1917, at Cory M. E. church. W.

Monday, in an effort to prevent repetition of the fusillade which was fired upon policemen near "Starlight's" saloon, at E. 33rd St. and Central Ave. Sunday Lieut.

"It seemed as if the sniper fired a hundred bullet and shot from all sides," said Kraeger. Monday. This is in the Central Ave. district in which, according to testimony at the recent police investigation by the city council, conditions of vice have become the "rottenest in the city's history." Matowitz and Kraeger answered a call from the station to catch burglar in a grocery at E. 33rd St. and Central Ave. They arrived to find Maker and Moffett chasing a man up an alley. Another man called Kraeger. Matowitz grabbed this man. Then the general shooting began.

Candidate for Re-election to the City Council in the 19th Ward lie Has Made Good. Re-Elect Him Mr. Stolte has been a member of the Street Railway Committee of the City Council for four years, and continues a consistent advocate of three-cent fare. He is chairman of the Committee on Streets and advocates the extension of main thoroughfares; also the construction of sewers so that the city can get them in shape to make use of the sewage disposal plant when it is built. Coundilman Stolte is chairman of the Committee on Building Code, to provide letter housing conditions for all of our voters, and to care for a careful not to put too much of a burden on persons desiring to build a home. He is also a member of the Finance Committee which passes on all expenditures of money used by the city to run its government. It is hardly necessary for The Gazette to call the attention of our voters in the 19th ward to the fact that Mr. Stolte has always been a loyal and consistent friend of the race who believes in DOING for them and not merely TALKING. This was as true before he was elected to the City Council as it has been ever since. That is one reason why his re-election to that body comes with its regularity that is not pleasing to his book of friends and why his re-election, next month, is practically assured. However, do not take anything for granted but pitch in, work hard and vote for Mr. Stolte, and get all the other voters inward 19 to do so that you possibly can—Adv. WRIGHT'S DAVIS LETTER BAD "Any report stating that vice conditions are better at the present time than at any time in the city's history is contrary to fact as far as I can see." Rev. H. D. Southard writes the Hugh F. Taylor campaign committee. The letter from the pastor of the Trinity Methodist church, Madison avenue N. W. and W. 99th Street, is the first reply received by Mayoralty Candidate Taylor's committee in response to copies of a letter to Rev. E. R. Wright, secretary of Federated Churches, which the committee recently forwarded to 350 Cleveland ministers. In the recent police investigation, Rev. Mr. Wright sent a letter to Mayor Davis, purporting to come officially from the Federated Churches, in which he stated that vice conditions are better at present than at any time within recent years". Claiming that Rev. Mr. Wright was not authorized to speak for the ministers of Cleveland and that the statement in his letter to the Hugh F. Taylor campaign committee of 250 last week wrote Mr. Wright, asking for a conference with the Federated Churches to present facts and to remove the erroneous impression that the secretary's letter was sanctioned or approved by his organization. "At no meeting of Cleveland ministers I have attended has there been a vote of commendation or even a discussion of vice conditions," Rev. Mr. Southard wrote Mr. Taylor's committee. "I would not allow the impression to go out that Cleveland ministers thought conditions better unless they were given the opportunity to put themselves on record. It is to obtain the matter of political prejudice," Rev. Mr. Southard added. On the witness stand at the police investigation, Rev. Mr. Wright admitted writing his letter to Mayor Davis after obtaining "over the telephone" the approval of Rev. A. Frank Houser, the mayor's pastor, and two lay members, of the Federate Churches. Following is the letter from the Taylor campaign committee to Rev. Mr. Wright, copies of which were sent to the 350 city ministers. Whereas, it is persistently charged and a matter of common assertion throughout this city, and repeatedly urged upon this committee, notwithstanding the recent efforts of Chief of Police W. S. Rowe, it is found that the practical, ordinary and decent restraints upon vice, essential and customary in all municipalities have been relaxed by the present administration and have broken down in Cleveland to a degree that has become scandalous and alarming: (2) That through corrupt political influence, criminals have been able to obstruct justice and avoid the consequences of their illegal practices: (3) That gambling, unlicensed traffic in liquors and commercial, illuminated goods going into the streets, and illegally pertinent associations to an extent and with a deravity bibtero unparalleled. (4) That commercialized immorality has been allowed to extend into respectable residential neighborhoods to the detriment thereof, the innocence of the young imperiled, and in many cases contaminated and the life spaces and rights of upright citizens outraged; (5) That the present chief of police, with most of the forces under him, is seeking a proper restraint of these evils; (6) That the policy of the present administration and chief of police are out of harmony, to the detriment of police discipline and effective action; (7) That a full view of the facts has never been laid before you, and it is urged upon us that a recent pronouncement published as coming from your body, denying these conditions, is incorrect and contrary to facts: (8) Therefore, we are instructed by the Hugh F. Taylor, executive committee to say that a committee from this body, with facts and data of this subject, is desirous of early conference with your organization. Upon receipt of a copy of the fore going letter, one of our local ministers a member of the Ministers' Alliance wrote the following communication which is self explanatory: Cleveland, O., October 19th, 1917 The Hugh F. Taylor Campaign Committee of 250. Gentlemen: In reply to yours of the 10th: We (Ministers' Alliance) are intensely interested in the election of a good man for mayor of Cleveland. We want a clean business government. We want our city as clear of vice and immorality as possible. I am sure that I voice the desire of every colored minister in Cleveland. We have our Ministers' Alliance. If you will give us a date for next week and send a representative, I am sure we will give you a hearing. You may write me and I will call the ministers together. Yours truly, R. L. BAYLISS, Pastor Lane Memorial C. M. E. Church, Residence, 2158 E. 31st St. WOODS, DILLARD AND SPERO The statement has been made, by one who claims to know, that one Spero, who posed as a lieutenant of Benner, the democratic candidate for the council in ward 11, promised to secure for Sam Woods from Benner to be used in the interest of that meteoric Dillard candidacy, $250 or $300, at first. It was about this time that Roger called at the Gazette office to see the editor and finding him absent, left the following note: City, 9 [21] 17 Hon. H. C. Smith, Dear Sir: Mr. Woods said to tell you that he saw that fellow and that he is willing to do something now but wants you to get in communication with him and put the proposition to him. He is willing to give about $250. DILLARD. I will be down again to see you. Later on we understand that "that fellow" (Spero) dropped from $250 to $150. This was after the editor of the *Gazette* had not only refused to treat with Spero but had also withdrawn his support from Dillard because it was apparent that Woods, Charley Sutton and Spero would only make Dillard's candidacy a "stalking horse" for Benner's candidacy and could not possibly hope to promote it with any probability of ELECTING Dillard. This is the crisis of the whole matter. When Woods and Sutton's candidacy "dirting" with Spero made it impossible to Emit T. Roger, the editor of the *The Gazette* and have nothing more to do with his candidacy, he was opposed to supporting a candidate by the conditions made by Woods and Sutton could not hope to do more than help elect Benner, the Democratic candidate for the council in ward 11. Since Thomas W. Byrd, 2158 Central Ave. informed the *Gazette* that although he was willing to be very active in Dillard's behalf, with Woods and Sutton, they never gave him any intimation until the very last of the $150 deal which it is claimed Spero had promised to secure from Benner. This he said he felt keenly and considered anything but fair treatment. Our informant also tells us that the morning Woods and Sutton tried to persuade him to have been promised him for Dillard's candidacy, and he (Woods) was told from the race, Woods is said to have exclaimed, "In times like these God give us men." And we agree with Sam. It is true that the editor of *The Gazette* encouraged Roger Dillard to enter the race for the city council in ward 11, until our return from Detroit, on Monday evening, Sept. 24, when we learned, much to our regret, that his candidacy was being promoted by others only for the purpose of electing the democratic organization candidate in that ward and not with any chance of Roger's being elected. We had hoped to arrange for Dillard's election and would have done so if permitted, but when we found that he and Sam Woods and Charlie Sutton had so arranged matters, with the assistance of one Spero, a political representative of (Benner) the democratic candidate referred to, as to make this impossible we immediately notified Dillard (the wife) of Bard and the following morning) that we have nothing to do with his candidacy and allowed this up with the publication that effect in *The Gazette* of Sept. 29. On Sept. 25, Roger Woods and Sutton began the circulation of his (Roger's) petition for signatures, contrary to our advice, and the voters of ward 11 to the number of about 200, being given to understand that we were backing his (Roger's) candidacy, signed them in a few hours. This shows better than anything else the tremendous feeling against Tom Fleming's candidacy in that ward. HE CANNOT BE ELECTED On Sept. 27, *The Gazette* appeared with the announcement that we were not backing Roger's candidacy but that Woods, Sutton and one of them, was true. On Saturday, morning (Sept. 29), Dillard came to *The Gazette* office, accompanied by Mr. Byrd, a resident of ward 11, to plead for the editor's support which was refused and Dillard shown the door and asked to leave at once. This closed the matter so far as the editor was concerned and didless explains why Roger capitulated to the Fleming and three his sponsors, the Woods, Sutton and one of them, high in the air) on the following Tuesday morning (Oct. 2), that we doubt have as yet been able "to return to earth" and political equilibrium. Roger listened to Sam and Charlie, rather than to the editor. That proved his and their indulging in this political effort. The result: Very, very amusing to the editor. In this instance, like many others the lords best who laughs last," and certainly is our turn to laugh and we are doing so, believe us. Meantime the hundreds of voters in ward 11, opposed to the Fleming candidacy, will concentrate on some Republican candidate in that ward and elect HUM and thus rid the ward of an official (Fleming). foisted on them a second (or third) time by the Jewish political boss, Maurice Masebke, just as this same individual foisted on them former Councilman FitzGerald for two terms. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 DOINGS OF THE RACE Thirty-five of our girls are making good as unskilled workers at the Federal Glass Company's plant, South Columbus, O.

Caffey, "a native son," has been appointed a school inspector for our children of that city. GAS COMPANY HELPS LOAN. East Ohio a Big Subscriber For Liberty Bonds. One of the largest subscriptions made by any corporation in the second Liberty Loan campaign in the 4th Federal Reserve District was that of the East Ohio Gas Company. Following a $200,000 purchase of bonds during the second week of the campaign, it was announced on the last day that $800,000 more had been taken out of the latter amount. Cleveland was allotted $650,000; Akron and Youngstown, $500,000 each; Canton $25,000; and smaller cities including Ultrichville, Denison, Kent, Ravenna, Winston, and Barron. The remainder.

VETERANS SLE THEM OFF! Editor Gassie. Dear Sir: Monday morning, Mr. McPherson and the writer, two old comrades and veterans of the civil war, went to the East 55th St station to bid the boys "God speed and good bye." Indeed, it was a sad sight to see wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts parting from their loved ones, off to war, perhaps never to return. We realized what our mothers must have suffered 53 years ago when we went to war. The boys looked line and seemed in good cheer. We felt proud of them and wished we were 17 instead of near 70, that we might join them. Being young and fall of "Pershing's pet," they will make good and be a credit to the race. They belong to the race that makes the best soldiers in the world, excepting none, according to the reports of General Butler, Miles, Shaffer, Lee and Pershing. With the Negro soldier, orders are orders. Give him a square deal and he will never fail or shrink from duty. Military drill and discipline educate both mind and body, form habits of punctuality, attention, industry and obedience. They give the active exercise for bodily health in his carriage, health, halts and respect for law and constituted authority in the training of the drill. His faculties are all improved and brought under better command. So let us pray God that He may bless our dear boys, mind, soul and body. ANDREW McSPADDEN.

THE MAN WHO DARES.

He Made Amends Colonel Gilbert Pierce, the late Minister to Portugal, once picked up in his arms a young lady who stood hesitating at the corner of a street in an Indiana village, unable to cross it, because a shower had filled it with a rushing torrent of water. The young lady submitted without protest while the Colonel stonegallantly through the torrent until he deposited his fair charge on the opposite sidewalk, with dry feet. "Sir!" she then said, indignantly, "are you aware that you have insulted me?" "I was not aware of it," replied the Colonel; "but, seeing that you are right, I beg to make amends." So saying, he picked up the protesting damsel and restored her to the point where he had first made her acquaintance.—Cleveland Leader. PROHIBITION! You will lose Money in Additional Taxes if Ohio votes dry. You will lose the right to have anything to drink in your Own Home if Ohio Votes dry. Prohibition this year means a different kind of Prohibition than it did in previous wet and dry elections. This time it means BONE DRY. BONE DRY PROHIBITION is a Federal law. It is notice served by Congress on the people of Ohio that ANY State adopting Prohibition CANNOT PERMIT ITS OWN PEOPLE TO CONTINUE SECURING LIQUOR OF ANY KIND FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL USE FROM OTHER STATES. Iowa tried BONE DRY Prohibition for three months and promptly rejected it by a vote of the people. Search and seizure gangs and paid spies can RAID YOUR HOME on mere suspicion if Ohio goes BONE DRY. Bone Dry Prohibition has but to be Understood to be Condemned Not only this, but Fifty Million Dollars a year which the Federal Government is depending upon from the Ohio liquor industry-money the Government is depending upon to help win the war-will be wiped out. An additional Six Million Dollars—one fourth of the State's entire revenue—is paid every year in Ohio into the State and Municipal treasuries in license fees. That will be wiped out if Ohio votes dry. The Federal Government and the State must have the Money. If Ohio votes Dry someone must pay. That someone means YOU! Bone Dry Prohibition is an attack on the home. Bone Dry Prohibition means Increased Taxes. Bone Dry is not temperance. Bone Dry is intolerance. YOU LOSE Unless You Election November 6
