Pay to the order of Ralph B. Tyler One Hundred Dollars $100 On the 18th of February, this year, Ralph W. Tyler wrote Mr. H. A. Clark, 306 N. Y. Ave., Washington, D. C., as follows: "Quite naturally, because of State pride, we out here (Ohio) lean more towards Harding, and I pick him to win the prize, although no one can safely say who will win. For the contest is still at its early stage." Two weeks and a day previous, or Feb. 3, '20, he wrote the letter to the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, given herewith, that is self explanatory when read and considered in connection with the check, portraits of which are given above. Tyler had undoubtedly received and cashed Mr. Daugherty's check for $100 before writing his friend Clark and very naturally was LEANING very perceptibly toward Senator Harding; but not for long, doubtless for reasons obvious—Mr. Daugherty, manager of the Harding campaign, refused to send him any more money in response to a bunch of long, type-written letters shown the editor of The Gazette when in Columbus on the 12th of this month. Then it was that Tyler saw the Wood "light" and "hopped" to the support of the General's candidacy, opening up with his "Texas lily-white" story which is a malicious one, to say the least. Fearing that this contemptible attack would not avail, he seeks to strengthen it with alleged letters from Texas written by J. M. Wallace. Our long-time friend, Prof. Charles Norvell Love, editor of Prof. Charles Norvell Love, editor of Prof. Charles Norvell Love, a life-long resident of that state and for very many years a teacher and journalist there; sends us a letter given herewith, too, which goes far to prove our belief that "J. M. Wallace" of "Houston and Pt. Worth, Texas," and somewhere else, this week, is no less a person than Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, and Cleveland occasionally. We believe, as does Editor Love, that "J. M. Wallace" is a Tyler myth. That's furthermore that his "lily-white" story is no more stable than his support of Senator Harding's candidacy. Editor Love ought to know; and he says so. He is on the ground—in Texas—and in a position to know better than Tyler or anyone in Ohio. There is absolutely no truth in the Tyler "lily-white" tale. That individual was evidently very "sore" when Manager Daugherty refused to be "couched" for more than $100 check. That is all. Result: Tyler stories against Senator Harding—just as many as he could manufacture and the Wood "light" encouraged. The serious thing about this miserable Tyler effort is the fact that the individual seeks to turn Ohio Afro-Americans particularly; against the only candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency who has demonstrated in a practical way for years his interest in and friendship for our people. Well, he won't succeed (as usual) and furthermore if our people ever did have any confidence in him in the past, it will be lost just as soon as their eyes light upon the fac smile of that check (given above) and they read his letter to Mr. Daugherty and Prof. Love's letter to the editor of this paper, given herewith. And that will be a very natural and proper result: too. Tyler has "flipped" about for many years making covert attacks. unn first one person and another, deal- WHY RALPH W. TYLER "FLOPPED" FROM HARDING TO WOOD! ing in inundates and in other ways their confidence, etc., a reasonable sum. You can form an idea from this almost every old Afro-American newspaper knows, but this time about the size of check you should send for my expenses. I am willing he has overreached himself, and has bumped up against a stone wall so hard that even he should be benefitted. One thing sure, the expose will benefit not only our people of EXIT but those of the entire country. EXIT, TYLER!

Vote for Daugherty and every other Harding candidate for delegate you can. Let's help to make Harding the next President! We can do it. Then, too, there is only one way to retain good friends and you know what it is. Daugherty and Harding were our friends when we needed FRIENDS! Lord, have mercy on Ralph Tyler! Afro-Americans, in Ohio and elsewhere, use your own judgement! HARRY C. SMITH: February 3rd, 1920. Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, Suite 210-214 Ebbit Hotel, Washington, D. C. My Bear Mr. Daugherty: I am just in receipt of yours of the 2nd, first, and have carefully read contents. With regard to Oat- nal, whom I know personally, and like exceedingly well, and to whom I once rendered valuable aid, I can not see where he could be of the least possible assistance in Chicago, for the reason that he has not even a state acquaintance, much less a nation- al, and the men who will assemble in Chicago the 11th and 12th are Colored men of state, and national standing. Again, Oatnal is not an agressive fellow—he does not know the ropes. I say what I do without de- siring to detract from him, and he knows I would do anything for him within reason. But it is results you want, and there is no use employing a child to do a man's work. The trip, because of his lack of acquaintance, and his lack of the necessary aggressiveness, would be but a plea- sure trip for him—nothing more. However if you have promised to send him, go ahead and let him make the trim. If you carnestly desire me to go (in the interest of Senator Harding's candidacy) I will make the trip and Thomas W. Fleming, member of Cleveland's City Council, Sidney Thompson, and Samuel Woods, a successful real estate agent here, and all three of whom have a considerable state acquaintance, will go, they have advised me, and will defray their own expenses: As to my expenses, should I go, the railroad fare would be in the neighborhood of $25.00 for the round trip; hotel bill not less than $15 for three days, and to be affective I would necessarily spend, for entertaining men worth while, to get your confidence, etc., a reasonable sum. You can form an idea from this about the size of check you should send for my expenses. I am willing to send, also, some of my own coin, if necessary, to make the proper showing. The Wood and Lowden boosters—and they are numerous, have now and will have from now on, "beaucoup" money with which to make a noise. You refer to "many factions" among my race, but when it comes to the predomance of factions, I commend you to your proud caucuses—as instanced by the present presidential contest, and the contest, among you, for supremacy in Ohio. We divide up, because you are divided—some of my own people allying themselves with one white faction and some with another,—"growing more and more like the white folks every day." I really think I ought to have an opportunity to talk with you at an early date, and secure a good understanding of your and Senator Harding's intentions, program, etc., and to straighten out some threatening moves. And I think the sooner I can meet you the better, for the Wood people are going to make a lively fight in Ohio, and they have already asked me to take an active place in their line-up, but I have given no encouragement. I know well, the men of my race in Indiana, also, where you are staging a contest for delegates, and Indiana's balance of power, in your party, is the Colored vote. In two national campaigns I played a stellar part, and so knew by experience. The race in Ohio are clamoring for a voting representation in the convention. Letters have been pouring in demanding it, and demanding that I stand. This is a serious matter. If I decline to gun, and some other man runs he will likely be one innimicable to the Senator. If I might send out, say from Washington, at a very near date, an interview stating that I myself, was confident that if Senator Harding was nominated and elected he would restore to the race all the representation it enjoyed under Roosvelt and Taft, and that he would early in his occupancy of the White House begin properly recognizing the race, I feel certain it would have splendid effect—sent to all Colored newspapers in the country. You ought to secure the support of one, or all of the Colored newspapers (three in number) published in Indianapolis, and which cover that state. In previous campaigns I secured their cooperation early. It may be that the Wood forces have already done this. Don't overlook the fact that in preferential primaries to nominate the Colored man votes practically his full strength, while the white vote save for about from 10 to 25 percent, remain away from the polls. If I should send out such an interview as suggested to Colored news papers exclusively, I should want the personal assurance that I was backed up in the statement. Now I do not want you to get the impression that I am trying to force my services. You can forward, if you desire me to go, an amount to cover just reasonable expenses, and I leave the amount entirely to your judgement, agreeing to make up any deficiency—if any, out of my own pocketbook. I want to be considered, in whatever I do in a cause that means anything for the many, as a voluntary worker, and not a paid hand. The meeting in Chicago is the 11th and 12th. If I should go, I would in all probability leave so as to be on the ground the 10th, a day in advance. Respectfully Ralph W. Tyler, "J. M. WALLACE" A MYTH! Like Ralph W. Tyler's Texas "Lily- White" Story Directed Against Senator Harding's Candidacy. Office of The Texas Freeman, Charles Norvell Love, Editor and Proprietor. Houston, Texas, April 15, '20. Hon. Harry C. Smith Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I would have answered your inquiry of the 11th inst. earlier but wishing to exert every effort, as well as exhaust every resource, in locating the "J. M. Wallace" to whom you refer, I put answering off till now. Such a name does not appear in our latest city directory, nor in the latest 'phone directory, nor have I personally been able to find any one, white or colored, who knows him, or even have heard about him! Frankly speaking, I think "J. M. Wallace" is a myth, or some one who is too cowardly to come into the open, signing his real name as author of any newspaper publication appearing at this time on political issues. You must remember, Brother Smith that in times like these, just like it was during the war, certain newspapers manufacture "news" in their offices, putting it off on the public as genuine and as "specials, correspondence", etc. I remain, yours energetically, C. N. LOVE. TYLER'S "LILY WHITE" STORY. Absolutely No Truth in It, Says Senator Harding. COLUMBUS, O.—"I don't believe in preaching democracy to somebody 5,000 miles away until our own house has been put in order," said Senator Warren G. Harding, addressing our Woman's Republican Club at the Second Baptist church, here, Tuesday, April 13th. "What's the use of fighting for democracy abroad before we have given democracy to everyone in America." This brought the women to their feet with cheers and waving of hands. Senator Harding expressed the belief that a brighter day is coming for the Afro-American. This elicited further applause. "Your people have made wonderful strides in all lines of endeavor and I have not the slightest doubt but that the day will come when, in the South as well as in the North, your race will IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH. COPY FIVE CENTS AST! exercise the full rights of citizenship," he said. Aghin a storm of applause erected the Senator. "I want the colored boys who went to the front bravely, to have everything that's coming to them. Don't beieve that statement that I spoke in Texas, recently under the auspices of lily-white. I absolutely refused to enter the state, until the invitation was endorsed, by both the 'lilly-white' and 'black and tan' organizations." This statement from the Senator also brought forth rounds of applause. SEN. WARREN·G. HARDING. The Best of Testimony from a Race Paper in the Far South—An Appreciation. The American people have been blessed so often with great public men from Ohio, whenever one is proposed for consideration by the citizens of that state, not only a respectful but an enthusiastic hearing is always given. Ohio, the great state of Presidents, proposes the name of Warren G. Harding, for President of the United States: The career of Mr. Harding is one of fascinating interest. He is one of those thoroughbred Americans whose loyalty and patriotism supercede all other issues. Always a student of politics, he has never been a politician in the narrow sense of that word. He has always regarded his public duties and the welfare of his countrymen, with religious devotion. A business man of high and successful standing, while in public office he has made his personal business secondary, Warren G. Harding has never been politically ambitious. His public offices have been literally thrust upon him. He has always been just as intrusious as a private in the ranks as he has been as a general. The logical and acknowledged leader of the Republican party, in Ohio, Senator Harding has never moved a finger towards building up a political machine. For more than four years his name has been mentioned as worthy of serious consideration for the exalted office of President, but he has given absolutely no encouragement to the proposals. He was in Florida some years ago when his friends determined to make him a U. S. Senator. Many of these same friends have determined that he should be the next President and they are backing him in genuine Ohio fashion. Senator Harding was a devotee of the late Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, and his true Americanism is none the less fervent. Americanism will undoubtedly be one of the greatest issues in the coming campaign, and the Senator from Ohio will be able to furnish a lifelong record 100 per cent pure.—Jacksonville (Fla.) Sentinel. Ralph W. Tyler. WOOD TURNED THEM DOWN. "Darkwater," the latest book of the well-known author, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, page 223, a paragraph concerning the service of our boys in the great World War, contains the following very interesting and pertinent reference: "General Wood was early approached and asked to admit suitable (colored) candidates to Plattsburg, N. Y. (U. S. officers Training School). He refused." WHAT HARDING DID FOR OUR PEOPLE: Loyal Ohio Afro-American Republicans, and all Ohio Afro-American are Republicans this year if never before, will support the "Buckeye" candidate, Senator Warren G. Harding, because they know, or ought to know, that every time the editor of this paper, when a member of the Ohio Assembly in 1800, with the Senator, called upon him to support a measure of any kind, or anything else of special interest to our people, he never had to ask him a second time. We know, as a matter of experience, where he stands on matters of vital racial interest. Can this be said of any other candidate for the Republican nomination for President? H. C. S.

SATURDAY, APRIL 24. 1920. HARDING AND DAUGHERTY. Among the things Senator Warren G. Harding said to the editor of The Gazette at our conference in Hotel Statter, this city last week Tuesday night, was the following: "The attempt to array the Colored voters of Ohio against the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, manager of my campaign and a candidate for delegate at lahman is stamped with honorage. If the opposition thought it vital to select a Colored Republican for delegate at large, there were four opportunities while the exigencies of the situation left us none, yet Colonel Procter and his associates left two blanks on their ticket for delegates at large rather than prove the sincerity of their solicitude for the Colored Republicans. "More, Mr. Daugherty is the only lawyer in Ohio who was ever hanged in effigy for defending a National Guard officer who had halted a mob seeking to execute a colored citizen who was in the hands of officers of the law. And this fine service will not be forgotten when the conscience of the Republic and of Colored people in particular is crying out against mob violence." We agree with the Senator in all he says in the foregoing and go further by saying that our people waited until the candidates for delegate and alternate delegate at large (one a member of the race) had been selected by the Harding management before asking for a candidate for delegate at large. If they asked anything from the Wood management, they have received nothing. And there is no good reason why some recognition should not have been given them. Col. Procter, Wood manager, could not "see" the Colored vote in Ohio any more than he can "see" our workman when he applies for a place in his great industrial plant at Cincinnati. Of course, Gen. Leonard Wood could not "see" them in this matter, either, when he found it impossible to "see" any of our boys who made application for admission to the Plattsburg N. Y., Officers' Training School which he established and over which he presided at the time of this country's entrance upon the World War. If elected President what assurance have we that he would not continue to follow the same (color) line of action, if not freely and willingly, then at the behest of the War Department just as President Wilson and every other President before him has? Warren G. Harding is a very different sort of man. He is bigger and broader and showed it away back in 1900 when he and the editor of this paper were members of the Ohio Assembly. Repeatedly did the writer, a member of the lower house of the Assembly, go to State Senator Warren G. Harding and ask his vote and assistance for measures of direct interest and importance to our people of this state. Never did he make it necessary for us to ask him a second time but always readily and willingly acceded to our requests. This was a demonstration of real and practical friendship that our voters of this (and other states) cannot afford to overlook at this time, and they are not going to do so, either. The story that the Senator went to Texas a few weeks ago to recognize, strengthen or do anything else for "illy-white" Republics of that state and the South is a malicious political he spread broadcast for a purpose clear to all. It is simply an exposition of what is commonly referred to as "dirty politics." Senator Harding is entitled to the vote of every honest and honorable Afro-American Republican in the state and we believe he is going to get them on the 27th of this month. This same is true of the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, candidate for delegate at large. Any one in doubt as to his real friendship for the race has only to write to any Afro-American resident of Mr. Daugherty's home town, Washington C. H., Ohio and he will be more than satisfied instanter. Write Justice of the Peace John T. Oatmeal of that little city, one of the very best members of the race in the state, if you are not acquainted with residents of the place. Harding and Daugherty are Ohio ans, loyal, A Cleveland maniac wounded his wife—killed himself. The wife lived to care for the five children. One of the boys, 13, is already showing his father's symptoms. Cleveland has no hospital room to treat his mental sickness. When he finally loses control and commits a crime, the law will reach out and give him care. Meanwhile, unless we provide a way, he must go on, a menace to himself, his family and each of us. Vote to Keep Clevelanders Healthy and Safe! Vote to pass the $3,500,000 City Hospital bond issue. It will provide a ward for this boy. It will open a ward for the venereal patients. City Hospital must care for the mentally sick and the socially diseased-there is no other provision for them in Cleveland. It will provide additional wards for medical and surgical care, eye cases, and the contagious cases that cannot be isolated and kept in check in the home. These beds are needed now. Greater Cleveland has only 3,400 hospital beds-31/2 per 1,000 people. New York and Boston have 5 beds per 1,000 people, and that is only a minimum of safety. We are 1,500 beds short and it will take time at best to build the room for them. The bona issue will supply only half the aeficiency-700 beas. Private hospitals will be called upon for the remainder. A program for 2,000 additional beds could hardly be completed ahead of the city's actual needs. The bond issue for 700 beds is an emergency measure, out and out. It must pass. Do not forget that a bigger City Hospital means more nurses trained and ready for home or hospital duty-you know how scarce they have been. City Hospital's present training facilities are limited, the working conditions not such as to attract an abundance of good material for training. The bond issue will fill up the ranks. Vote "Yes." VOTE FOR A BIGGER CITY HOSPITAL AND MORE NURSES, APRIL 27 active Republicans and friends of the race. They do not live in New, Hampshire. Be loyal to our friends, have state pride and show it, April 27! It's a long lane that has no turn. The turn in the Tyler lane has been reached at last; thank the Lord. --- Do not be misled. Vote for Harding and Daugherty! When the race needed friends they responded promptly. The only way to retain friends is to show proper appreciation when you can. We may need them again. Who knows? G.

THE GAZETTE CLEVELAND OHIO, APRIL 24, 1920. Additional Locals Augustus A. Morris, 2981 E. 66th St., an old and highly esteemed resident, died suddenly, Sunday night week. He was apparently in the best of health during the evening of that day. Heart trouble. For years he had been employed at the Opera house and leaves a widow and son to mourn his demise. Mrs. Morris, who was preparing to go East to see a sister who is very ill, has decided to locate in Detroit with her son, Wendell, after making the contemplated trip. They wish to thank the Rev. W. B. Sutherland for his words of condolence and their many friends for floral offerings and aid during their recent bereavement. Atty. John M. Anderson informs the Gazette that he has knowledge of a fitness of the killing of the colored lad, Charles Hargreaves, Frank in his store at 5902 Central Ave. Monday, who characterizes the terrible act as wanton and cowardly murder. Frank says, according to police, that Charlie bought a bottle of milk, stole a cookie, a quarrel followed, a pistol shot, (he shot in self defense), an ambulance arrived. Also that the lad attacked him with a knife. It is said that Hargreaves died later in the evening at St. Luke's hospital. Here is a case for the N. A. A. C. P. Tyler's local publication, last week, was a sort of an ABUSE SEWER! It is uncalled for and inexcusable abuse of the Jones-Collins concert (and participants), at St. John's A. M. E. Church recently, and its reference to Councilman Tom Fleming as a "scurvy politician" because he purchased and had distributed 10,000 copies of THE JONES-Collins concert for promotion Senator Harding's candidacy, is characteristic. In all of its criticisms of Fleming, and there have been many, never has the Gazette descended to such a miserably low and contemptible level and never will it.

His good wife, determined to give him a real surprise, indulged him in a meal prepared with them, that evening, and prepared one of the most delicious meals the editor of The Gazette ever sat down to, and he certainly has had many a good one.

That familiar expression is still causing many laughs and smiles for persons who remembered his saying much the same thing in connection with that ten dollar bill he accepted from "Starlight" after stating that ministers petition asking the local board of liquor license commissioners to refuse to renew the license for "Star's" saloon in Central Auburn Bailey's and Tyler's support of the Wood council day is an interesting discussion, isn't it?

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It M. TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF OHIO: There is a movement to sell us, as a unit, in Ohio. It is not a plot among ourselves, but it is being carefully concocted by a combination of salaried white politicians, aided and abetted by Ohio Democratic newspapers. There has never been a traitor among American Negroes. This fact has been gloriously demonstrated in every war. We have proven loyal to country, loyal to state, loyal to our white friends and loyal to ourselves. We are not for barter, for sale or for trade, and we again will prove our loyalty to those who time after time have proven our friends. Senator Harding, against whom the companies seek to array colored voters, has always been the friend of the Negro and in his public life has always voted in favor of legislation for the uplift of our race. The truth is, an attempt is being made by a combination of interests to use the colored voters against the true choice of Ohio Republicans, a man who has recognized us and in the interest of those who have not recognized us. In this connection it will be well to consider the following important points: The campaign to take our support from Senator Harding is from the same source that brought "The Birth of the Nation" into Ohio. "Darkwater," the latest book of the well-known author, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, page 233, a paragraph concerning the service of our boys in the great World War, contains the following very interesting and pertinent reference: The artificial Wood was early approached and asked to admit suitable (colored) candidates to Plattsburg. He refused." That is the candidate we are asked to support in preference to the great Senator from Ohio, who has insisted upon the Americanization of the peace treaty, the greatest service any can render his country at this hour. Senate Bill No. 3792, drafted and introduced at the instance of the General Staff of the Army, provides, at an estimated cost to the tax payers of the country, of $500,000,000 a year, that every male citizen of the United States between the ages of 18 and 22 years shall be inducted (drafted) into the army and navy of the United States for the purpose of military training for a period of four to six months. When the training provided for is completed they are to be transferred to a reserve army for a period of five years, subject to immediate call at any time and must be called at least twice during the five years period for active field training for not less than fifteen days each. During all this period the boys are required to make reports to the general staff showing where they are and what they are doing. Secretary of War Baker is strongly for this scheme. General Leonard Wood (the man certain persons are trying to tell our race is such a friend of the Negro although he wouldn't allow colored officers at the Plattsburg Officers Training School) came from his headquarters at Chicago and appeared before me Senate committee on Sept 10, 1919, to urge universal military training in support of this bill, which has been his hobby for years and which is one of the principal planks of his platform in his campaign for president. What are we to expect from General Wood, if he is elected President of the United States and his military program is adopted? Your attention is called to another significant fact in connection with the support some of our men are giving to an outside candidate, which should be sufficient evidence that the movement is political and mercenary and not of our voters. The same element was used for Mr. Fred D. Patterson's withdrawal as a candidate for delegate-at-large. Mr. Patterson says so in a letter given here with which is very interesting reading. The effort to link him with the Wood candidacy, when by so doing it was injuring the Harding candidacy, was the prime reason for Mr. Patterson's withdrawal. There are several of our race pa- purchased with Wood money. Several of these publications offered their columns to the Harding headquarters before selling their space to the opposition. Their propositions were refused. Patterson wired the following letter to Ralph W. Tylier, part publisher of a weekly paper, which was advocating the election of Patterson: "Announce, please, my intention to withdraw from the candidacy for election to the large-age of the Republican ticket. I am pleased with very sincere regrets and for these reasons and these reasons only; "First—I am a Harding man. I so announced in the beginning, and I am still of Harding allegiance. It doesn't make a particle of difference whoever else may desert him, I did and do feel that the Harding management should have made provision for the proper recognition of the Negro vote of the State. As a protest against the lack of such provision I entered the contest, under the impression that it was the general desire and wish of a very material and interested portion of the affair attended by the State. I have having filed under the above impression my subsequent investigation developed the fact that you and your paper were, perhaps, my lone sponsors. "Mr. Benty's refusal to accept the alternate-at-large was nullled by Mr. Cottrill's acceptance of it, and such action on the part of a man of Mr. Cottrill's ability and standing I consider a very strong indication that a Negro voter consider the alternate-at-large satisfactory recognition. Most certainly we can not claim a de'egate-at-large as well as alternate-at-large. "My candidacy you have championed with zeal and courage but I can not follow you to Wood. Already a number of protests against that line of conduct has reached me, under the impression that I had endorsed Wood's candidacy. My candidacy threatens the defeat of Harding, who, in my judgment, is at heart the choice of 90 per cent of the Negro voters of the state. My own candidacy is made by the Wood people a force to defeat the man of our choice. "The position is untenable, the whole thing undesirable, especially considering the sacrifices this firm was willing to incur in event that it had been possible to pursue the matter along direct, clean-cut lines. I am depending on you, Tyler, to make this thing happen. I am confident we can circumstances submit my efforts to the despicable charge of self-interest. F. D. PATTERSON." It is time for us to do a little thinking for ourselves. We have always been solid for Senator Harding and he has not changed since the last time we supported him. Are we to be led astray by certain persons who have been paid liberally for their services by a rival candidate to our own? Why is it that some of these persons went to Harding headquarters and offered to support the Ohio candidate—for so much money per week? Is our support to be bartered in dollars and cents by them? Wm. Cooper Procter, head of the Procter-Gamble Company of Cincinnati, and who is manager of the campaign for Leonard Wood, has always been our enemy. Not a colored man employed in his great factory at Cincinnati, nor can we procure employment therein. The malicious charge that Senator Handling "flitted" with the "ilywhites" in Texas has been investigated, and has been found to be a fa school in every respect and absolutely without fact. When a member of the Ohio Senate, Senator Harding was always ready to aid such measures as were for the best interests of our race, and his support was as cardial as it was willing. Senator Harding was always a staunch friend of Senator Forsaker, and our race has never had two greater champions in Ohio. The attempt to turn our vote against Senator Harding on account of the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, one of the candidate for delegate-at-large in the interest of Senator Harding's candidacy will fail. Our voters will remember that Mr. Daugherty is the only lawyer in Ohio who has been THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, APRIL 24, 1920. Now My Hair is Lovely!" "When I think of the years I spent with coarse and stubborn hair that I could not dress and could hardly comb, I am filled with gratitude for Palmer's "HAIR-SUCCESS" Dressing, which has done so much to give me beautiful, soft, silky hair. I positively look like another person since using it." Of course you want beautiful hair. Your druggist will tell you that Palmer's "HAIR-SUCCESS" Dressing has been a standard article for many years, and that it is the best thing for the purpose he has ever handled. Go and ask him.

The sentiment which these publications are attempting to lead their readers to believe, is against Senator Harding and is in the large part purchased with real money. The Senator is the only allowed candidate for the Republican nomination for President whom we know, as a result of assistance always freely and diligently rendered, is a real friend of the race. W.

Greenfield, O., April 6, 1920. Bon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. In answer to your inquiry, as to whether or not I was induced to withdraw from my candidacy for delegate-att-range for Harding by the Harding headquarters, I reply emphatically that such was not the case. I wrote you recently my full reasons for withdrawing and have nothing further to add. I was a Harding man to begin with and am more strongly for him today than at any previous time during his candidacy, in view of the fact that I consider him a strong, sincere, capable, safe man—the best man in the Presidential field today, and altogether worthy of the great state of Ohio. No man of the Harding management asked or even suggested that I withdraw. In connection with this wire kindly republish my statement announcing my withdrawal. F. D. PATTERSON. GEN. WOOD AND THE NEGRO VOTE (Editorial From the Boston, Mass., Chronicle, May. 6, 2010.) The Chronicle from time to time will call the attention of its readers to the good or bad qualities in the various aspirants for the office of president. In doing so every effort will be made to be as fair as possible. At the outset we want to go on record as favoring no candidate so far. It would be more than foolhardy for us to do so in the circumstances as they exist in the pre-primary campaign. The Negro has long been sacrificed at the altar of greed and continuity of both parties, and he is beginning to devote more attention to the progress of his race economically and educationally, socially and financially. He, (and we mean the New Negro) has no --- more intention of being shimmied, goossetest and footrotted by either of the major parties. He is no longer going to be used as puppets but is going to be more concerned about being "pro-Negro" at this time than at any other time in his history. So far so good. What do the candidates for president offer as guarantee for the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness of color have been denied? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just sent a list of quizzes to the various candidates, and while it is waiting for an answer, the Chronicle will deal specifically with the candidates about whom it can secure data. The first one about whom we have collected some information, is Major General Wood. The information secured is as reliable as can be obtained and it is being printed in good faith, and with an eye single to the best interests of the colored people. The old bishops who sale purchase of the material are not going to be revived, at least among the gressive colored newspapers. We believe the Chronicle is expressing a sentiment general among the more virulent colored newspapers when it says that few of them, if any, will permit themselves to be bought. In relation to Major Gen. Leonard Wickhill the following are some of the names of the officers: 1. Colonel William Proctor, who ewns the Proctor and Gamble soap factories at Cincinnati and Kansas City, and who incidentally mangages the Wood campaign, will not permit Negro men and women to work IN these factories although the Negroes use tons of ivory soap and other Proctor and Gamble products. The argument is advanced that in order to live or even to vote, a man must eat with some degree of regularity, and in order to EAT, he must work. If Colonel Proctor is unwilling to give Negroes a chance to work, eat and live, he needs hardly expect them to "line up" under his leadership, for the candidacy of General Wood who subsequently may be largely influenced on affairs affecting the Negro, by Colonel Proctor who apparently is not in sympathy with their aspirations. 2. Late in 1915 (and files of the Boston Transcript are our guide here) General Wood dismissed from the U.S. Army, under the specific charge, "For Conduct Prejudicial to Army Discipline," one W. L. Sands, a white soldier of Co. K, Third Infantry, Sackettts Harbor, New York, because he married a respectable colored girl. Colored men throughout the United States were both surprised and disappointed. They resented this action (as reported) not because they favored intermarriage of the races, a matter which is largely self-regulatory because of the strong bonds of race preference, but rather because of the stigma of race inferiority and unworthiness that General Wood seemed to place upon colored women through his dismissal from the service of a soldier who had the manhood to marry a colored girl and to give her the protection of his name, rather than to attempt to make her his prey. It is claimed that by this action, GENER DR. FRED PALMERS TOILET PREPARATIONS IN business or social life one's personal appearance goes a great way toward success and happiness.
