He was a bright, promising and Christian boy. fourteen years of able administration of his office which have just closed. Mrs. A. M. Curtis made a very happy speech in presenting the token in the name of a large group of parents, teachers and friends. She told of the many progressive ideas that Mr. Bruce had brought to Washington, such as the vocational and junior high schools; his tireless efforts; for equal appropriations for colored children; the vast growth of the enrollment in all of the schools under him since his administration, such as the Dunbar High School which has increased from 550 to 1,437; and the difficulty under which he has labored to resist the constant encroachment of the white superintendent upon his authority which left Mr. Bruce with great responsibility, but little authority. The applause was prolonged and simply deafening, and coming from so large an audience of the school patrons, it demonstrated to Mr. Thurston that his statement that the colored superintendent lacked the support of a large portion of the substantial citizenry was an egregious error. Mr. Bruce is now preparing a huge budget to present to the next congress, as the chances are that he will meet no obstruction in the new superintendent. Neval H. Thomas. HARDING AND COOLIDGE WILL WIN! Special to The Gazette. NEW YORK CITY.—The nomination of Harding, and Coolidge brings general satisfaction to Republicans the country over. Harding and Coolidge will win! They will be elected because Republicans are pulling off their coats and going into this fight to elect the ticket. Nothing is going to be left undone by any good Republican. Nothing is going to be taken for granted or risked. There is work to be done and it will be done. Harding will make a great President. He is American! He is human. He is sincere. He is a Republican! Coolidge is all right. He's big enough, for the job, whatever the job. He is, also American and a Republican! WANTS HARDING "LIGHT" 69 Portland St., Cambridge, Mass. June 18, 1989 June 18, 1920. My Dear Friend Harry C.:—Was Harding in the Legislature in the year of 1900, and did he help you with your lynching bill? What is his stand on the Negro question? Would you advise the race endorsement of him? These questions are prominent in the minds of our people out this way. I know you and do trust to your judgment and know that on matters political you can be trusted for reliable advice. My wife's enfeebled condition prevented me from going to Chicago. So now give me light, I am. Faithfully and friendly yours, (Rev.) J. Francis Robinson, Editor of Cambridge Advocate. CHESTER K. GILLESPIE. Last week, Chester, K. Gillespie was admitted to the bar, so dispatches from Columbus to the local daily papers announced. This was expected by his last of friends in this community but it was none the less pleasing because anticipated. Chester is generally liked and deservedly popular. Born at Sayles Park, Ohio, twenty-five years ago, he secured his education at Cheney, Pa. Training school for Teachers and at Central Institute, this city. His law studies were pursued at Baldwin-Wallace University which graduated him with the degree, LL.D. D. Attorney Gillespie anticipates practicing here in Cleveland, "hanging out his shingle" in September. He is affiliated with a number of our local organizations and is preparing to teach Americanization in the public night schools of the city, next year. Realizing the stupendous task confronting the young American and the seeming lack of confidence in law and government, Mr. Gillespie proposes to give consistent study to politics and government, and especially local politics and government, for he believes as all true Americans must believe the politics is one of the big channels thru which the Afro-American as a race can more speedily come into his own. His future, in the practice of his profession in this community, is very bright indeed. The Gazette wishes him every success. CONGRATULATIONS FOR HARDING. Sent By A. M. E. Bishops and Ministers—Our People Will Vote for Him, En Masse.

Harding.

CHICAGO, Ill.—Two white men were killed and a colored policeman and several other colored people were wounded, Sunday night, in a clash on the South Side, following the reported burning of an American flag by a band of colored (Abyssinian) people who were said to have paraded in the interests of a "back to Africa" movement. The scene of the trouble is in the section where more than thirty whites were killed in the rioting a year ago. The dead are: R. L. Rose, a sailor, and Joseph Hoyt, a cigar dealer. Both white: Rose was shot through the heart, dying instantly. Hoyt is believed to have been shot in the head by a dum bullet. Several hundred policemen were rushed to the district and succeeded in restoring order before the disturbance spread. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ROACH, ATKINSON, GARVEY. Boston Negro Garage Company Prejudiced Against Negro Architects and Engineers and Employs only "Lily-white" Talent. Pain of The Boycott. Marcus Garvey Turns Down Responsible Negro Contracting Company, and Gives $36,000 Liberty Hall Job to White Contractor. Special to The Gazette. N.W. YORK, N. Y. June 14.-Half of New England and all New York are turned by the Gazette's antiquity denaturation of the People's Theatre and pride of the genuine race programs initiated by the Seventh Avenue Casino. Merrie Jordan, Faulkner and Smythwick, of Connecticut, are fostering, in a somewhat similar direction, the same intelligent, effective race development that Messrs Tetley and Freeman are advancing in the world's metropolis. This brainy "digive" in sharp contradiction with Mr. Roach's Theatre Company, live in an atmosphere that is infinitely clearer and bracing than that which permeates the habitat, of the class of Negroes who, supported by Negroes, have always "shown more prejudice against their own kind than have various white companies." The Crusader editorially puts in print that which thousands are indigently reiterating in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, viz. that the "pain of the boycott" must be inflicted upon Negro companies, churches and schools that do not retain Negro engineers and architects to design these organizations' buildings. Vide Moorland, the distinguished apostle of the Y. M. Christian (?) Jim-crow Segregaria. It is difficult to see which is the more stupid and impudent—the Boston on garage, or the New York theatre company, Mr. Geo. W. Atkinson, of Boston, is president of a Negro company which, in its standing advertisement in the Chronicle, howls against discrimination, discountes, etc., with Negroes being the victims. Yet, this same Columbus Avenue Garage company, in the depths of its lamentations, exhibits, in the self-same advertisement, its own prejudice against its own race by publishing the white architect and engineering firm in whose office one would look in vain to see a single Negro employed at either of the two professions. Mr. Atkinson refused to retain Mr Tandy as architect, notwithstanding the fact that tout le monde knows that, the white firm which the Atkinson company favors cannot design the proposed garage any better than Vertner Woodson Tandy and William Hunter Dammond would. Does not Boston contain enough colored real leaders to incorporate, in competition against the Atkinson company, for a garage which Negro automobile owners ought to patronize? Of all the wealth that West Indian Marcus Garvey is rapidly amassing, nearly every dime comes from Negroes—not from Jamaican Negroes, but from the "universal" Negro population. Mr. Garvey's egregiously followed policy is radically different from the rational, enlightened, race loyal doctrine which Cyril Briggs—another West Indian—incessantly preaches and consistently and honestly practices. Mr. Briggs knows that the greater the mutually antagonistic cans among us the easier it is for hostile whites to pursue their persecuting aim; and most emphatically does. Mr. Briggs denounce the ignoble spirit of intra-racial strife waged along national lines. Per contra, Mr. Marcus Garvey is exceedingly loyal to—the West Indian Negro? By no means. Garvey's loyalty is restricted to those Negroes who had had the foresight and "superiority" to get born in the one island, Jamaica. "Egro, when Mr. Garvey's Universal Negro Association, seeking to buy commodities or services, finds no Jamaican to sell, the "Universal" boys only from Jews and Caucasians. To be sure there is now and then a little—precious little—bait discernible in the form of some business even for American Negroes; but that is a trivial and diplomatic deviation from Garvey's real schedule. Recently I experienced a mild shock by reading, in the advertising columns of the Universal Negro Association's own newspaper, that a Jew is Marcus Garvey's tailor. A short while earlier, as I afterwards learned, prospective "Potentate" Garvey's association needed their Liberty Hall (which is "of, by and for Negroes") to be wired for twenty-four electric lights. No Negro had a ghost of a chance to get that electric contract. A white firm got that job. It is well known that several Negro firms in this city are conducting, in an honest and businesslike way, the business of selling supplies: which restaurant owners constantly buy. Mr. Garvey's association's "Universal Restaurant" never buys a dollar's worth of such supplies from any Negro dealer. IN UNION IT IS STRONGER ' JNSON, CARVEY. The Company Prejudiced Architects and Engineers "Lily-white" Talent. The Boycott. Ins Down-Responsible Company, and Gives Hall Job to contractor. When this article goes through the press, a white contractor will peg away building a thirty-six thousand dollar extension to the Carvey Liberty Hall, West Eighth Street, New York—a hall, remember, "of, by and for Negro," G. S. C. Webb, head of a thoroughly sound and responsible Negro contracting firm, most certainly was not invited to bid for the projected structure (since Dictator Garvey invited white firms only to bid): but Mr. Webb, enterprising and alert as usual, "carried his own stool" towards the Universal (or should I say the Jamaican) office to ask to be permitted to bid on the Universal Negro hall. President Webb, of the North Harlem Construction company, did not go into the "Potentate's" office, because Garvey himself was at the door and, by graff words and tones, made it evident that Mr. Webb need not pass—indeed, might just as well not try to pass—the threshold of the Jamaican's office. Frankly, I cannot see how Mr Webb was so surprised at Garvey being so evidently perturbed at a Negro (especially one who is not a Jamaican Negro) daring to try to win a contract that would pay some thirty-six thousand Negro dollars. When will the North Harlem company learn that the "Universal" game provides that, when $30,000 is to be tossed to and fro, the Negro stockholders must throw their coin over to the Universal Negro Dictator, but that the Dictator can be relied upon promptly to pitch the thirty-six thousand directly into the pocket of a lily-white contractor? Quite naively note but two more casual sentences. The invited, courteously treated, successful white bidder for this $36,000 job happens never to have risked a single dollar by buying Universal Negro stock. Uninvited discourteously treated, unsuccessful bidder Webb has been a stockholder of Garvey's Black Star Line almost ever since the Universal's ship firm was incorporated. Garvey Hired a White Lawyer. NEW YORK CITY.—The case of the Black Star Line against the Chicago Defender which terminated in the Federal Court, before Judge Knox, recently, attracted considerable attention. The suit was for libel brought by the Black Star Line against the Chicago Defender for $200,000 and after exhausting all the facts, in the case and a careful charge by Judge Knox to the jury, which deliberated for about three and one-half hours, the verdict was arrived at giving the Black Star Line six cents. The Black Star Line was ably defended by Attorney Rosenheim, (white), while the Defender was taken care of by the law firm of French & French, Afro-Americans. The rights of the press were clearly established; the case was one of unusual importance to all publications. MORE CONGRATULATIONS. Meadow Brook Farm, Mesopotamia, O., June 20, '20; Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir; I want to congratulate you for having the courage to announce yourself as a candidate for secretary of state. I would have written sooner, but the dailies had it, "that you simply filed as a candidate to confuse the voters in order to put Hildebrant over." Knowing his treatment of the colored people as well as you evidently do, I could not understand how this statement could be true, so I waited to receive The Gazette. I see that you have stated your position clearly. I assure you I will be only too glad to do all in my power to aid you, and I sincerely hope that you may be victorious. It is unfortunate, however, that you must be a candidate in opposition to a man of your own party who is running for a second term. I have scopes of friends all over the state and I will be glad to see as many of them as I can, in your behalf; also to write to a number that I cannot see. Yours for success; A. D. Mate. "Original Harding Man." "Original Harding Man." Washington, D. C. June 21, 20. Dear Harry: I congratulate you upon being the original Harding-man.

SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1920. Our southern brother, both black and Chicago, learned a sad lesson at Chicago during the meeting of the Republican national convention. White southern Republicans, who sympathize with white southern Democrats and also uphold their policy of discriminating against colored people, went to Chicago flush with the money of the aspirants for the presidency and primed themselves to hadd out the spoils to themselves if their candidate won. Colored men of the south, who contend loudly for convention privileges but are as silent almost as the grave for their rights as voters in southern states, went there also laden with filth luere from aspiring candidates with the hope that more of the filth stuff would flow their way before the convention closed. "Lily-whitism" and "black-money-huntism" failed in Chicago! Until the Republican party, sponsored by white and black men alike of the south, makes some showing in casting votes, their say in nominating conventions should be made insignificant. Let men who elect candidates say who those candidates should be. White and black Republicans are too cowardly to make a decent fight for manhood rights at the polls. They show fight only among themselves and that is to control "the loaves and fishes" of office. White men of the south who claim to be Republicans do not want a real Republican party in the south. They prize their social relations above their voting and political rights. The disgrace of obtaining southern votes in the primaries for candidates ruined the chances and hopes of the most formidable candidates. Men that can be bought up, be they white or black, don't hold the respect of any one. Besides the price paid these men eliminate them from serious consideration when real things of the party come up. The white and black people of the south owe it to themselves to stop this disgrace of being bought up. Then, too, their inability to harmonize and be solidly united for Republican good disqualifies them for high places in the ranks of the party. As it now stands the south is a burden on the Republican party. Its liability overwhelms any asset it may offer. The party should make the south a place where it can live and contend or apply the constitution and reduce the Democratic representation in Congress and the electoral college. The party has too long dodged this issue because it was too cowardly to apply the constitution when a race fight was precipitated. The Democratic party should suffer for its flagrant and willful violation of the constitution. It is the duty of the Republican party to bring about this reduction if it wins in November. Let the south learn the lesson that money is not the goal of the franchise and when it comes up to the true standard of the American ideal in politics such lessons as were taught the southern delegates in Chicago will be useless. May they profit by their sad experience. There can be no sulking among real Republicans now. Everybody had his day to win or lose. Those who lost should be as gracious and happy as those who won. Harding and Coolidge suit black voters because they represent the manhood of America. Harding and Coolidge are all right because they put America first and not a chimerical supergovernment. Harding and Coolidge suit colored voters because their record show that as officers of the law all men were equally protected by them. Anybody running on the Republican ticket suits the colored voters even though the best Democrat in the world may run on the Democratic ticket. He may be PETER H. good before elected but after he is in, the wicked south will rule him or ruin him. Very likely he will prefer to be ruled and if so, it is "all night for black people." The Democratic party has beef and is the implacable foe of the black American and for that reason we may pray for our enemies but we shall never vote for them. Our prayer for them will be that they may be put where they can't harm us and that is, stay at home and be driven out of Washington. To defeat the Democratic party is our business and we don't like anybody that hinders in accomplishing this nice job. With Coolidge in the Senate as its ruler and Harding in the White House as the "Big Chief," with a "heart," the country will come back to its own and we shall be a great nation once more. Remember folk, that Harding and Coolidge are good enough for us because they prefer America and would not subserve it to any league, anywhere. We desire to have law and justice at home, first. We want a satisfied American constituency before we settle the difficulties of Poland. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. The issue is not Senator Harding, but pure Americanism. When all is said and done, the issue is pure Americanism. Col. Bryan is right. The Democrats will have to "go some" to beat the Republican ticket and platform. Senator Harding does not propose to leave his or his party's position on any important question, uncertain. Senator Harding's greatest asset is his common sense. His head is not in the air. His feet are on the ground. The commanding strength of Senator Harding is that he is a modest, earnest, yet intensely patriotic American citizen. Omaha, Nebr., June 15, '20. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry—I am pleased to congratulate you upon choosing and naming the next President of the United States which is a great honor never before come to a man of our race.

Yes, we feel very happy indeed over the nomination of Senator Harding. It was the best thing for the party as well as our people. The Union Choral society's concert, last Wednesday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church was as usual a credit to its director, Mrs. Grace W. Thompson. The N. A. A. C. P. local branch's meeting, Sunday afternoon, at St. John's A. M. E. church, was devoted to a discussion of the national meeting at Atlanta, Ga., some weeks ago. The Chicago convention nominated the best man for our people mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for the Presidency. Absolutely no doubt of that. Go to Mt. Zion Cong. church, Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, and hear Hon. Harry C. Smith tell the interesting story of the recent Chicago convention that nominated Senator Harding. Of course you remember that The Gazette published Senator Harding's portrait on the first page of its May 1, 201, issue and over it ran this line—OUR NEXT PRESIDENT! Prophetic, wasn't it? "The Old Reliable" Gazette was practically the only race paper in the country that supported Senator Harding for the nomination before the recent primaries. Have you noticed that fact? Representatives of the N. E. R. league did a good job when they secured, at Chicago, last week, the adoption of a rule by the Republican National Committee that in the future no party convention of delegates could be held in a place where colored persons were not allowed to go. Candidates representing our group to be voted for at the Republican primaries, August 10, are: For state senator, W. R. Green; for state representative, Sidney B. Thompson, Harry E. Davis, S. E. Woods,Welcome T. Blue, and for secretary of state, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, and father of the Ohio civil rights and anti-lynching laws. Felicitations (on the Harding nomination), Brothers Fred Patterson of Greenfield, Robert Allen, Harry Alexander and Capt. L. H. Godman, of Columbus; Hon. Wm. Copeland of Cincinnati; Prof. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce; Hon. Charles Cottrell of Toledo, and all the others in the state. We helped materially to do a good job.

Each athlete gets a silver cup, donated by Athletic Director Freeman. Senator Harding said to that delegation of the National Right Equals league that, called on him in Chicago, late last Saturday evening, after his nomination: "I am for democracy in its fullness." That is all we ask. He will stop the Washington, D. C., segregation in governmental departments just as soon as he becomes President, which will be March 4, next year. One of the most interesting events of the season was the annual reception to the graduates of Cleveland schools and colleges, Thursday evening, at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church. A fine program was rendered by graduates and the principal address was delivered by Dr. J. B. Redmond of Cory M. E. church. This effort to encourage young people to seek higher education, was under the auspices of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men. At the request of the pastor, Rev. Irving K. Merchant, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, will speak, Sunday evening, at 7:30 o'clock, at Mt. Zion Cong. church, E1st St., near Central Ave., on the subject—"An Observer at the Republican National Convention." Incidents and inside facts, that have not appeared in the newspapers and are not generally known, will be mentioned and explained by the speaker. Do not miss it! A feature attraction at League Park, Sunday, is the doubleheader between Class A teams, the fast going Tate Stars meeting the unbeaten Dille Road Lumbers in the first tilt, and the Schleimer Federals and Armours clashing in the second game. Under the clever management of Devoe, the Tates are developing a never-say-die spirit. The first game is called for 1 o'clock and the boys are anxious for a large number of fans to come out. Brady and Devoe will form the battery for the Tates. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the graduating exercises of Garnet School, Washington, D. C., June 23, 200, sent by Mrs. Edna Anderson Gregory, former resident and a native of this city, whose son, Francis, and daughter, La Verne, are members of the graduating class. Both children, who will enter High School, next fall, and their father, Prof. J. Francis Gregory, took part in the program of the exercises. Prof. and Mrs. Gregory will spend the summer months, as usual, at their summer home at Vermillion, O. According to the despatches to the daily papers of the country, several weeks ago, Pres. Moorfield Storey, of the N. A. A. C. P., in his annual address to its recent Atlanta, Ga., meeting, endorsed the prejudiced southern demand for the separation of the races (segregation of our people) in many things. We have been patiently waiting to see this affirmed or denied by N. A. A. C. P. officers. Just before its adjournment, last week, a resolution was rushed through the Republican national convention directing the national committee to cut down the southern representation in national conventions. This is undoubtedly the result, largely, of southern delegates of both races' acceptance of money from candidates for the Presidential nomination. It is not directed at Afro-American southern delegates only, as some of our people think. Be sure to read the J. B, Dennis advertisement elsewhere in this paper and patronize him. It is a race enterprise and deserving, too.—Adv. The Gazette urges our people, in the vicinity of E. 30th St. and Woodland Ave., to patronize the Butnik Cut Rate drug store because it is one of the best in the city and treats ALL of its patrons right.—Adv. You should take Puro Herbs, the great blood purifier and system cleaner. On sale only at the Brown Drug Co. 2742 Central Ave., cor. E. 28th St.—Adv. Mr. Katzenmeyer, who has for fourteen years been manager of Marshall's drug store, corner Woodland Ave, and E. 55th St, has opened a first-class new drug store at 5516 Woodland Ave, next to the postoffice, where he will be glad to welcome his many friends among our people.—Adv. Our old friend, Ralph Tyler, of Columbus, O., is percolating here and there, giving the old "con" the "once over." Of course, you know Ralph is against Harding for president.—Chicago Defender. Annual emancipation celebration picnic, August 2, '20, under the auspices of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men.—Adv. Donot wait for the collector to call on you, but do as many have done the past week—either call, send or mail your overdue subscription money. It is so much pleasanter. Best for the blood—Puro herbs! Sold only at the Brown Drug Co, cor. E. 28th St, and Central Ave.—Adv. Mr. Richard Blue, E. 90th St., an old resident, well, and favorably known, died Monday. Funeral, Wednesday. A widow and several grown children survive him. They have the sympathy of the community. Armen G.

Dr. Evans was connected with The Gazette, several years ago, and we wish him success. Dr. E. A. Bailey and Miss Genevieve Davis will address The Dunbar Literary society, next Tuesday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church. Both are interesting talkers. Miss Brownie L.

Merchant. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes will live in Jersey City. Rev. Merchant left, Monday, for Boston to attend the International Council of Congregational churches, celebrating the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. The sessions will be held in Mechanic's Hall, with a memorial service at Plymouth, July 5th. Ten thousand ministers and laymen will attend the Council. Rev. Saul A. Lucas, of the American Bible Society, and Rev. Fletcher Bryant, of Union Cong. church, Painesville, will preach for Mt. Zion church during the pastor's absence. Rev. Merchant wishes to thank all who contributed to the fund to defray his expenses to Boston. While in the east, he is to speak in four Congregational churches (white) and will write the Gazette something of special interest to its many readers. --- OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very interested by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sunner. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. — Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "THINK AS A MAN" Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American.

Member of the Ohio Legislature for Three Terms (six years). Files as a Candidate for Republican Nomination of State— His Statements. The Editor's, Statement. Columbus, O., June 11-20 In filing for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, I do so without having had any conferences at any time with any, of the leaders or others of the various factions of the Republican party in the state of Ohio. None of them know of this action of mine, the result of conferences held today with a few of the leading members of my race in Cleveland and Columbus. All feel that the present Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's persistent refusal, for nearly two years, to give my people the clerical representation in that office they have held under every other Republican Secretary of State for many years, except Charles Q. Hildebrant, makes it absolutely necessary that some one of my people should enter the contest. Acquiescing in their view of the matter, I decided to enter and have done so! There are now between one hundred and one hundred and twenty-five thousand colored voters in this state almost to a man, Republicans. Instead of diminishing the meager representation heretofore allotted them (as have office-holders of the party like Secretaries of State Smith and Hildebrant) it should have been on the increase for years. Intelligent colored voters of Ohio have reached the limit of their endurance in this matter, and in this primary contest propose to serve notice in a practical way on Secretary of State Smith and all other neglectful office-holders and members of the party that there must come an immediate change for the better or intelligent colored voters will carry their fight into the elections.

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we under stand H. - Davidson, Lincoln." OUR NEXT PRESIDENT! PETER H. HARRIS "HOW COLORED OHIO REGARDS WARREN G. HARDING." Ohio has become one of the great pivotal states, politically, looked to with anxious eyes by both parties in national campaigns. Born in Ohio, schooled in Ohio, a reporter in Ohio, newspaper publisher in Ohio, state senator in Ohio, lieutenant governor in Ohio, United States senator from Ohio—Warren G. Harding of Marion has Ohio lineage that gives him caste. And that counts. Senator Harding is undoubtedly the choice of the Republicans of his home state for the presidency. their most enthusiastic and unrivalled states, looked to with anxious eyes by both parties in national campaigns. Knowing him so well for twenty years, I feel safe in that he will make the best dent for all the people of this country, especially ours, the United States of America has had since the senator from Ohio—Warren G. Harding with apologies to the late丹 Roosevelt, I wish to say in clusion that "Colored Ohio" en is simply "de-lighted" as a state for the nomination for the Presi Blooming Grove, Morrow county, O., was the birthplace of Warren G. Harding. He was born, Nov. 2, 1865. After being graduated from Iberia college, he entered a law office in Marion as a student, became a reporter, later took over a newspaper plant, and became head of the Marion Star. He served twice in the Ohio senate and one term as lieutenant governor. He was the Republican candidate for governor in 1910, but Judson Harmon defeated him. Mr. Harding was elected to the senate in 1914. Four years ago he was a delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention, and was the temporary and permanent chairman and keynote orator. How Senator Harding was triumphantly nominated, last week, for the Presidency by the Chicago Republican National Convention has been so thoroughly covered by the daily press of the country, and is a source of the report, that it is not necessary to repeat at this time. As a matter of fact, The Gazette predicted it, editorially, last week. What our people the country over wish to know, judging from numerous letters received, this week, is answered in the letter to our confrence of the Baltimore Afro-American which follows: Cleveland, Ohio, June 14, 1920 Editor Afro-American, 628 Eutwalt St Dear Sir and Friend:—In answer to your question as to "How Colored Ohio regards Warren G. Harding," I desire to say that we regard him most favorably indeed and will support him with an enthusiasm greater than that which obtained in the case of any other Ohio candidate for the Presidency. Of all the candidates for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, at the Republican Convention held in Chicago last week, Senator Warren G. Harding, as far as I have been able to learn, is the only one who has been consistently friendly to our people throughout his public career and private life and has also done something material for "the good and welfare" of the race. When a member of the Ohio Assembly in 1900, State Senator Warren G. Harding was a colleague of the writer. Frequently during that session of the Ohio Legislature I found it necessary to ask his vote and support for measures of prime if not vital interest to my people of this state. In every instance he willingly complied and, too, without the usual interrogation and argument. Nor was it ever necessary for me to repeat my request for his promised vote and support. This is what I call material assistance and better evidence of a true friendship for the race than any other candidate before last week's Chicago Convention is able to produce, as far as I have been able to ascertain. Of course Senator Harding, like most public men, has on many occasions, in public speech and otherwise, in years gone by, made known his friendly attitude toward our people and has done many other things for them which it is not necessary to enumerate at this time. One thing sure and that is, our people throughout the country will make no mistake in giving the standard-bearer of the great Republican party, this fall, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 26, 1920 their most enthusiastic and undivided support. Knowing him so well for the past twenty years, I feel safe in saying that he will make the best President for all the people of this country, especially ours, the United States of America has had since the days of Presidents Lincoln and Grant. With apologies to the late President Roosevelt, I wish to say in conclusion that "Colored Ohio" en masse is simply "de-lighted" as a result of the nomination for the Presidency of Ohio's favorite son, Senator Warren G. Harding. Yours for Republican success in November, Harry C. Smith. Editor, The Cleveland, O., Gazette, Member Ohio Legislature; 1894, 5, 6, 7, 1900 and 1901. AN APPRECIATION. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Prop. The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. Smith:—I have been intending to write to you for some time and utter to you an expression of my grateful appreciation of the cordial support which you gave to me during the political activities preceding the Presidential Primary in Ohio The Gazette was eminently fair in all its references, and the campaign, so far as I was concerned, was a wonderful helpful influence in having my position fully understood by its large list of devoted readers. Nothing can be more harmful in preventing the colored citizen from coming into his full influence as a voter than the prejudiced appeal which is often made by self-assumed leaders who are more concerned with their own personal advantages than they are the good of the Party. I have always known The Gazette to be eminently fair and abidingly truthful. Warren G. Harding. THE FIRST INVITATION. Lorain, O., June 14, '20. Fon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Honorable and Dear Sir:—I hail with the greatest satisfaction the announcement of your candidacy for Secretary of State. I shall deem it a great privilege and pleasure to do all in my power to help you to land the nomination. I shall be glad, therefore, if you will give me the chance to manifest the high esteem in which I hold you and I may be able to do some good for your candidacy in this county.

Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took, Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "jynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, objs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to 'any of his liabilities.' (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person with hostile intent such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed, recover the amount of the judgment and the amount from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in t. statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. failing to protect such prisoner or dis- purse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide for engaging therein. (§ 3 v. 163 12. 1) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or man-tenant, setting house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars all imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF LOAF, (From the Chicago Whip.) The strongest races of men, and the most indomitable characters of history have always either uncompromisingly demanded every scintilla of their just rights, or, being denied the full measure of attainment of their ideals, have spurned even life itself. Patrick Henry in crying out for "either liberty or death," voiced the sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers, who preferred the unknown horrors of the great uncharted Western ocean and the savage-ridden land beyond to religious oppression in 'a comfortable home. But the American colored man is apparently satisfied with the HALF LOAF. For 250 years he was told that he was entitled to NOTHING—that he even enjoyed life itself by suffrance. His mind was so deliberately diversified and stunted that he could not even think to the contrary. So well was this psychology ingrained into him that, even today, race leaders of the old school, finding it impossible to break from this log cabin philosophy, "handed it down to free men." He was so thoroughly robbed of his mentality, that he complacently helped manufacture the shot and shell which enabled his masters to keep him in slavery. When Liberty and Citizenship were granted him, his childish mind could not grasp their significance. He took what was given him with a thankful heart, thanks to the teachings of the old school. He has not yet demanded unequivocally all that is due him! He fears to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf and demand the WHOLE, trembling lest he be denied any at all. With apologetic mein and smirking smile, he renders gratitude for "jim-crow" settlement houses, "jim-crow" soldiers and sailors' "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A.'s, "jim-crow" officers' training camps, "jim-crow" churches, fraternities and politics. He thus plays the beggar's role in spite of the fact that he has proven himself to be an indissoluble and indivisible entity of the whole warp and woof of America, economic, political, military and social. He is the economic backbone of the South. He holds the balance of political power.

His blood, suspected and unsuspected flows in more veins than any other one strain in America. He is still a slave, if he accepts anything short of the full unintended measure of recognition and respect. The new colored American will never again be satisfied with EQUAL RIGHTS when they are not the SAME RIGHTS. The NEW Colored American, repudiating the teachings of the old school, who led him into the quagmire of peonage and serf-dom MUST and WILL spurn the Half Loaf and lay hold onto the WHOLE LOAF, "so help him God." HARDING AND COOLIDGE. We congratulate Senator Harding on his nomination for the presidency. In 1912, we supported Theodore Roosevelt because we felt he represented the best in politics. During the Presidential primaries we supported Senator Harding because we felt he was the best man for the place. We rejoice with Senator Harding that he and we are vindicated in our opinions, and here is to his election. We dedicate ourselves unreservedly to his election. Never in the history of any nation was there a greater need for a wise and safe president as is now in America. The political effluvia that arises at Washington under the present regime, is sickening and deadly and should be removed. The Republican party should come into power to insure the nation against loss and chaos. Harding and Coolidge represent the highest in American ideals. The country can trust them. They are real Americans for America and will not be lost in the dream of world power which will destroy America and make Europe all-powerful. The colored people will welcome most heartily the change. Segregation, humiliation and unjust discrimination have reigned unchecked for seven years. The preacher of righteousness in Washington has lived a life of opposites. Contradictory statements and life have disgusted everybody. Colored voters will enter this campaign to do their share. Both in contributing money, casting ballots that will survive the southern oligarchy that has ruled the country for more than a shameful period in American history. We ask of Senator Harding when he is elected no special favors. We wish no cailing, neither do we desire any special laws for our benefit. We ask be enforcement of the Constitution. DR.

ATLANTA, GA. with all of its Amendments. The fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth alike. We ask a fair share of the emoluments of office, if the party is successful. We desire to be treated simply as American citizens on equality with all other citizens. Exact of us what may be exacted of any American and see to it that we receive also what any other American receives. Colored men will not be influenced by any cry of a third party, this year. Any attempt to influence the men who followed Roosevelt in 1912, against Harding will miserably fail. The solidarity of the Republican party was never so much needed as now and we assure the nation that black people will lead in restoring their solidarity. We do this, not only for our sake but the sake of foolish white voters who follow any amn and also for the sake of our country, to prevent it from going to the devil toward whom it is fast diffusing. The Gazette led in the Harding fight before his nomination and it will lead in the election of Harding and Coolidge! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Congratulations! My dear Mr. Smith:-Accept my congratulations for the fine work done by you in helping to bring about the nomination of Senator Harding. You and I are one not because we love The Gazette and strive to make it count but because Providence leads us. In your fight to help elect Harding and Coolidge I stand squarely by you. In the east, or wherever I can best serve, you have but to command me. Sincerely yours, (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Senator Warren G. Harding was one of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's lieutenants for years.
