HARDING OF OHIO GOV. CALVIN COOLIDGE OF MASSACHUSETTS BE NOT DECEIVED! By a Democratic Organ—Northern Democracy, the Ally of Southern Democracy and Essential to the National Domination of the Southern Political Autocracy, Which Would, If It Could, Deprive the Negro of Every Human Right. Special to The Gazette. NEW YORK CITY—The World, of June 16, 20, in an editorial headed, "Shutting out, the Negro," says "When Republicans speak of just and equitable representation in their conventions they always have an evil eye on the Colored brother from the South." The same National Committee, which passed a resolution as to equitable representation, also passed a declaration, that southern Republicans hold no more conventions where Colored citizens would be denied admittance. Does this uphold the position of The World? Was this "an evil eye on the Colored brother from the South?" Why the solicitude for the Colored voter on the pout of a New York daily newspaper that upholds the Wilson South-in-the-saddle-Democracy? The World asserts, in its editorial, that "there are many Congressional districts in the South where the Republican vote does not reach one-tenth of 7,500 and whole states where it does not exceed that number." This is because the Wilson southern Democracy has, through disfranchisement act, robbed the Colored citizens of his constitutional right to the ballot in the southern states and because, when the Republican leadership in the U.S. Congress has undertaken to get this wrong up for consideration, there has been a flood of southern-propaganda through Democratic organs in the North to accomplish the result of defeating the efforts of well-intentioned Republican leaders by arraying northern sentiment against action looking to the upholding of the War Amendments. Intelligent colored voters are not deceived by any expressions of interest on their part by any newspapers that give their support to the Democratic party, which party has been responsible for every wrong and humiliation that they have had to bear. There is not a northern state where Republican control and influences dominate, where the spirit of the Republican party asserts its will, that denies the colored citizen his voice in government. There is not one of the rock-ribbed Wilson Democratic states of the south where colored people are regarded as full human beings, much less tolerated as having political rights any southern Democrat must respect. The spirit of the Wilson Democrat south is one of political barbarity toward colored citizens. The Republican party can hardly be attacked for failing to meet and to undo all the devilry of the Wilson southern Democracy, supported by The World whenever the World supports the election of the National Democracy, for it is so multitudinous and nefarious that the cumulation and aggression of wrongs is just being comprehended by the statesmen of party. The sin of commission by southern Democracy, what it is to colored people to have a southern Democracy dominate the nation and what it means to colored people, south and north, are facts that will not be gotten out of the minds of the colored voters of the north whatever the professions of interest on the part of any northern or northern Democratic power. Precisely as The World says "there are several states at the north that could not be carried by the Republican vvery often without the colored vote" while The World might have added that but for the Republican party of the north the colored citizen would not be a voter in the north and, that the colored voter is not now a voter in the south because of the Democracy of the south which The World supports and upholds when it supports a National Democratic ticket. The World might truthfully add that the Republican party gave the colored citizen the right to vote in the south and that he was robbed of this right by the Democratic party, while every effort of Republican leaders to restore that stolen right has been met by Democrats of the north with the insidecry of "let the South alone." During this while the colored man is not the only one robbed of his vote in the south, for the oligarchy has also robbed the whites, through trickery and manipulation, until the total vote cast in the south does not equal half the whites of voting are. The words "solid south" means solidly against the Negro not only in politics and law, but in conscience, and The World knows that the colored man has been robbed not only of his ballot, but of his labor, through peonage laws, by the southern Democracy and yet The World goes on voting with and associating with the robbers, meantime impugning to the Republican party that it has not jailed them all. The colored man, having the balance of power in the north, will certainly not exercise it to continue his detractors and persecutors in the saddle at Washington. For myself, let me say that I was an adjudicator in the legal division of the United States Land Office, Department of Interior, Washington, D.C., and in an interview with Mr. Ayer, chief clerk of the building, after his attention had been called to discrimination against colored employees, who were denied service in the restaurants in the departments, I was asked by Mr. Ayer if I was not aware of the fact that this was a dual government and later, I again ate in the cafeteria on the roof, the Commissioner of the Land Office sent for me and asked me not to seek service again in the cafeteria and advocated a separate place where colored employees could eat. Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts, a Republican, became interested as opposed to this segregation of American citizens because of color, with the futile results here mentioned. Colored boys went abroad to fight for "world democracy," to return to a condition of political serfdom in the states of For Vice-President GOV. CALVIN COOLIDGE OF MASSACHUSETTS WONT "GET OFF THE TICKET" The Editor of "The Gazette's" Reply to The Plain Dealer's "Smith, Smith and Smith" Editorial. Cleveland, O., June 25, '20. Editor Plain Dealer, City. Dear Sir: Anent the "Smith, Smith and Smith" editorial in this morning's Plain Dealer, permit me to say that no one "persuaded Harry C. Smith of Cleveland to enter the primary" and no one but the writer is in any way responsible for his candidacy. Your statement that "Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's record in office clearly entitles him to re-nomination," is a matter of opinion and open to serious question by those evidently more familiar with the facts than the writer of your "Smith, Smith and Smith" editorial. My candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State is one of the results of an experience gained during my six years' membership in the Ohio Legislature as a representative from this county. It is certainly not the result of any desire, this year of all years, to cause any discord in the ranks of the Republican party in a state of state of opinion, to say that this Smith has no intention of "gatting off the ticket," the many statements (in the daily newspapers) to the contrary notwithstanding. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR! FORREST CITY, Ark.—J. H. Blount, the first of the races to be so honored in Arkansas, received a nomination at the hands of a faction of the Republican party in this state. He is about 60 years old and has made his home in this city for the forty-seven years. Mr. Blount is said to be in independent financial circumstances, owning over 600 acres of farm land, and he is active in many fraternal orders. This is the first time Mr. Blount has ever been a candidate for political office but he has attended Republican national conventions since 1884. At one state convention he was elected an alternate delegate-at-large, defeating the late Logan H. Root (white) for that honor. the south and to suffer denial of voice in government at home and they know, as all colored people know, that segregation, "jim-crow" cars, disfranchisement, together with the inhumanity and curse of human slavery, that all these things and the Democratic party are synonomous; that supporting the Democracy of the north is giving strength to the right arm of the political infamy of the south and the southern Democracy, with all that barbarism of hate and persecution means. Marie Addison Crawford. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Lends Himself to the Fight on the Editor's Candidacy for the Republican Nomination for Secretary of State. Cleveland, O., June 26, '20. Mr. Thomas A. Goode, Capitol, Columbus, O. Friend Goode:—Let me assure you on my word as a gentleman that there was not and is not any "conspiracy or collusion or scheme" in connection with my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio. Also that I had not had any conference, letter, word or anything else from any one, prior to filing, urging me to enter as a candidate. Also that no one knew of my intention to enter except the five colored men who signed my paper and three other members of the race, Messrs. James R. Snyder and Howard S. Slaughter of this city and Captain L. H. Godman, attorney, of Columbus, O., who accompanied me to file the paper. Also that none of these men and no one else knew of my intention to enter prior to the 10th of this month, the day before I filed. This I had decided to do, the night of June 9, 1920. My candidacy is a "race" effort, pure and simple. The charge that any individual or faction of the party had anything to do with my determination to enter or that I entered with any other motive than to try to win the office for the good such a victory would do our people of Ohio and the country, is a false one and absolutely without any foundation in fact. I, therefore, ask that you withdraw the affidavit you have filed with the Secretary of State, and support my candidacy as all loyal members of the race in the state are bound to do. This you say you will do, in your interview in the morning papers, when you know that my candidacy is "a sincere movement for recognition of the Colored race." As to its being "general"—you know how it is being received from one end of the state to the other by our people. Again, I ask you, in the interest of the race, to withdraw that affidavit. Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. VOTE FOR HARRY C. SMITH. The voters of Ohio, irrespective of race, should honor themselves by casting a vote in the primary for Harry C. Smith for Secretary of State. Mr. Smith is a loyal Republican and a most intelligent man. His ability to discharge the duties of that office cannot be disputed. His right to that position or any other within the gift of the Republican party of Ohio, should not be questioned. The motives that lead him to aspire for that office, namely: The continual refusal of white Secretaries of State to do justice to colored people in that department should bring to his aid every self-respecting colored voter and every fair-minded white voter in Ohio. We hope to see Harry C. Smith, Secretary of State of Ohio. (Rey, Wm. A. Byrd. IN UNION IT IS SUPPLIED THE COPY FIVE CENTS ACE! A GREAT BATTLE! The Editor of "The Gazette", Fighting for His Right To Stand as a Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Secretary of State — Godman, Thomas and Goode. Special to The Gazette. COLUMBUS, O.—The hearing on the protest of one Thomas A. Goode, a member of the race, against placing the name of the Hon. Henry C. Smith on the ballot, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, took place in that office, here on Wednesday afternoon. The editor of The Gazette was represented by Attorneys Leroy H. Godman, of this city and Henry L. Thomas of Cleveland, fine attorneys, also mem- Capt. Leroy H. Godman. bers of the race. The hearing was before the Secretary of State and was conducted, on behalf of that official, by Attorney Horner (white) of Columbus. The editor filed his nomination papers on June 11, '20, and on June 25th, Goode, residing at 315 S. 6th St. filed with the Secretary of State an affidavit stating that Hon. Harry C. Smith's candidacy "was not made in good faith," but was the result of "a collusion and conspiracy" with some party or parties and was Henry L. Thomas, Esq. for the purpose of "confusing voters" who might wish to vote for Harvey C. Smith, the present incumbent of the office and a candidate for re-election. Goode was indeed a pitiful spectacle under the severe gruelling cross examination of Attorney Thomas. The sum and substance of his testimony was that he had heard "hundreds of people" speak of this alleged "conspiracy." Yet he was unable to recall the name of one person out of these "hundreds." He took on direct examination that he had been told "some things" by Mr. Charles Gerrish of Columbus. On cross examination, however, he said he had known Mr. Gerrish for "twenty-five years" and saw him sometimes twice a day; yet did not know what occupation he followed of whom he lived.

This time it is in Silesia and the combatants are Poles and Czechs, citizens of two of the new republics set up by the peace conference. Their political independence and territorial integrity were guaranteed under the terms of the league covenant, but there is no indication of the league's doing anything to quiet the present outbreak. President Wilson condemns the Republican Congress for lack of accomplishment. His Secretary of Commerce commends the Shipping Act, the whole country commends the Railroad Act, and the Water Power measure is universally declared to be a constructive step in the direction of utilization of natural resources that have heretofore been wasted. These are only three of a long list of measures. a Republican Congress passed for the purpose of getting the country back on a peace-time industrial basis. A well-known business man declares that "we are suffering from an excess of government." What he meant was that the country is suffering from an excess of bureaucracy. There is little danger of an excess of government so long as it is a government by law. But it is easy to reach the point where there is an excess of government when it is a government by men who get their ideas from "voices in the air" and who have never had any practical experience in the world of affairs. MRS. CRAWFORD'S ARTICLE. The article in this week's Gazette by Mrs. Addison Crawford is worth careful reading, for it is a statement of conditions and issues of vital concern to all of our people interested in freeing themselves from the results of the rule of the nation by the southern democracy. Mrs. Crawford has the distinction of being a graduate of a Boston law school, was connected with the Department of Interior in the Land Office at Washington, D. C., which position she acquired by reason of competitive examination, and resigned from the position of adjudicator because she grew weary of the conditions and environment in the atmosphere of the Wilson Democratic regime in Washington. The statement of the issues by Mrs. Crawford is an able review of the situation. PARTISANS FIRST. There was nothing surprising in the announcement that all but four of the members of President Wilson's cabinet had abandoned their offices at Washington and had gone to San Francisco to direct the action of the Democratic National Convention. They went as the spokesmen of President Wilson, in the interest of President Wilson, and in the effort to promote partisan welfare regardless of critical events requiring their official attention. There was nothing surprising in their course since such has been their policy throughout the Wilson Administration. In each previous campaign men who were supposed to be serving all the people have departed from their positions of duty and gone out in the campaign in an effort to perpetuate the one-man rule. Instead of being public servants, as our form of government contemplates, President Wilson and the members of his cabinet aspire to be public masters, using their official powers to perpetuate themselves in office. They may be able to dictate to the Demo- 6 The Democratic National Convention will be acting in consistency with the record of the party if it nominates Woodrow Wilson for a third term. In his first campaign President Wilson was pledged to the principle of the single term and his party was pledged to put the single term limitation into effect. No sooner was he inaugurated than he began plans for election to a second term and in no particular did he or his party endeavor to carry out either the letter or spirit of the single-term plank. Not only in the years of his good health, but also during the long period of his serious illness, the spokesmen of the Democratic Congress have acknowledged the absolute leadership and dictatorship of Woodrow Wilson. How then could a Democratic National Convention be expected to refuse the demand of Mr. Wilson that he be renominated for a third term? H. C. L. DUE TO DEMOCRATIC POLICIES. In his telegram to the railroad chieftains the President complains because Congress has not changed the tax laws. "It has failed," said he, "even to give serious consideration to the urgent appeal, oft repeated by me and by the Secretaries of the Treasury, to revise the tax laws, which, in their present form are indirectly responsible in part for the high cost of living." In making that statement Mr. Wilson deliberately tries to create a false impression as to which party is responsible for the high cost of living, by telling only part of the truth. In the first place the present tax laws are Democratic products, passed by a Democratic Congress and approved by a Democratic President. Any inequalities that they contain cannot be charged to the party now in control of legislation. In the next place many of the present appropriations, for the payment of which tax laws are made necessary, were enacted under Democratic auspices, before the Republicans gained control of Congress. The exorbitant items contained in those measures have created a floating debt, already totaling about three billions of dollars. With the Treasury in such a precarious situation how foolhardy it would be to reduce taxes and add to the deficit! The matter of tax reduction was gone into very fully by the committees of both Senate and House, and it was determined that while expenditures remained at their present height it would be extremely unwise to cut down the revenue. In plain language that means that while the extravagant Democratic administration is charge of the expenditure of the public funds, and while Democratic appropriation bills still have a part of their extravagant course to run, it is futile to talk of lessening the burdens of taxation. The moment Mr. Wilson is put out of the White House, and there has been a thorough housecleaning of the executive departments, with men put in places of responsibility who will co-operate with a Republican Congress in measures of economy, the country will see a reduction in expenditures accompanied with corresponding lowering of taxation. --- 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.

HARRY C. SMITH, Member of the Ohio Legislature for Three Terms (six years), Files as a Candidate for Republican Nomination for Secretary of State—His Statement. 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 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. Harry C. Smith. Member Ohio Legislature (three terms) 1894, 5, 6, 7, 1900 and 1901. Editor and proprietor, The Gazette Cleveland, O., for 37 years. THE FIRST INVITATION. Lorain, O., June 14, '20. Hon. 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 hep 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 count. Would it be possible for you to come to Lorain on Friday evening of this week and present your cause to our people in person? If so, wire me between 7 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., on receipt of this note. With best wishes for your success, I am, "HOW COLORED OHIO REGARS WARREN G. HARDING." Cleveland, Ohio, June 14, 1920. Editor Afro-American, 628 Eutaw St. Baltimore, Md. 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, 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" enmase 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. 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, to far as I was concerned, was a wonderfully 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. MORE CONGRATULATIONS. 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 your f as a candidate to 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 stand how this statement could be true so I would receive The Gazette, see that you have stated your position clearly. I assure you I will be only too g'd 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 scores of friends all over the state and I will be glad to see as many of them as I caa, in your behalf; also to write to a number that I cannot see. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 2, 1920. Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 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 law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has on 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 the statutes) under the heading 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 "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 1. 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 payday by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, 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 6232. 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 surviving such decedent, 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 6238. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come to the court. 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 synched 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.

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 his niece, niece, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating 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 twenty dollars, or five hundred dollars, or 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. A GREAT BATTLE (Continued from Page 1.) Goode made himself "a laughing stock" for about all who heard him. For making charges of this nature against a MAN of his own race, and for a white man, too, and being unable to substantiate a single allegation in his alfidox, Goode deserves the censure, ridicule and scorn of all decent Afro-Americans in the United States in general and in Ohio particularly. The hearing, which had been set for 10 a. m., was not begun until 1 o'clock, on the request of the Secretary of State, and continued until 4:30 p. m. The large office of the Secretary was packed with spectators from many parts of the state. They included about thirty members of the race, among the number being Sidney B. Thompson, who also acted as a witness, utterly destroying the testimony for Secretary of State Smith of a Mr. Howell, Columbian representative of the Cleveland and Plain Dealer; J. T. Oatman, and others, of Washington, C. H. Charles N. Weaver, Robert Bass and a number of others from Cleveland, central and southern Ohio. Decision was to be rendered, Thursday, Watch for our letter, next week, for the full particulars of the hearing. Attorney Godman, who opened the hearing, for the editor of The Gazette is also one of the best attorneys the race is in the state or the country. Godman and Thomas made a wonderfully fine impression on all and they are a team hard to beat. They had a report of the proceedings taken in a local court stenographer for use, providing the Secretary of State persists in his refusal to place Hon. Harry Clay Smith's name on the ticket for a summer, August 10. 20. Then the matter will be taken into the courts where the editor of The Gazette is sure to win. That is the consensus of opinion of those who affect to know. Many motorists carry a flashlight in their cars, and this little piece of equipment is extremely valuable for emergency use. The motortruck buyer must be careful in selecting a vehicle to see that the body is not too wide or too long to transgress some local ordinance.

NEW YORK CITY.—In a letter to the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of this city, written from Washington, D. C., June 11th, 1919, Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican nominee for President, wrote as follows: "Permit this tardy acknowledgment of your note of June 6th, '20, together with a clipping from The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, in which you so forcibly express yourself regarding the insincerity of many things said by the present national administration. Much of a high-sounding nature has been said about warfare for democracy, but no one can pretend we are making any progress in establishing wholly free democracy in our own United States. It will be the greatest political injustice of the time if we do not complete a situation under which the brave colored men of the south took such valient part in the winning of the war and return to conditions under which they are denied the right of franchise as American citizens." Mr. Manning's article, in The Gazette, was a statement of conditions in the South and an arraignment of the denial of the ballot to American citizens in the south. Senator Harding's views on this subject are plain and to the point. THE TEMPLE THEATRE Maurice Bolsany, Manager. Friday, July 2. NORMA TALMADGE in "Missing Link." Saturday, July 3. Wm.
