THE OHIO SUPREME COURT Orders Editor Harry Clay Smith's Name on the Ballots
For the Republican Primary; Aug. 10—Attorneys Godman and Thomas Win a Great Victory—Our People Happy!
Special to The Gazette.
Columbus, O., July 16—The name of Editor Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland will appear on the ballots for the August primary election as a candidate for nomination as Secretary of State. The Supreme Court made this order today after overruling a denierer filed, late Wednesday, by Harvey C. Smith. Secretary of State, to the editor's appeal for a writ of mandamus and after Secretary Smith had indicated his inability to fight the case any longer. Chief Justice Hugh L. Nichols, in announcing the decision, made the following statement from the bench:
sulted in the filing of protests against the candidacy of the Cleveland editor and the Elyria Smith. Hearings were called by the Secretary of State to act upon the protest. After the editor's hearing, Secretary Smith rulped that his name should not be placed upon the ballot. The Elyria candidate sent a telegram withdrawing from the race, and no hearing was conducted in his case. Attorneys Henry L. Thomas of Cleveland and Leroy H. Godman of Columbus, for the editor took the case into the Supreme Court on mandamus proceeding. Secretary Smith to play the editor's role in the ballot. Their objection was耐受.
"The demurrer of the defern (Sec. Smith) to the petition o the relator(Editor Smith) having overruled and the defendant now cating that he does not desire to

plead further, the Court finds in favor of the relator and it is ordered further that the Secretary of State cause the name of the relator, Harry Clay Smith, to be printed upon the primary election ballot as a candidate for Secretary of State as prayed for in his petition.
"The suggestion that this cannot be done now because of the fact that the ballots have been printed, in our opinion, is not well taken for the reason that it is practicable that printed adhesive slips be used containing the names of all" the Republican candidates in the same place upon the printed ballots so as to rotate as required by law."
Decision Very Important.
The decision of the Supreme Court has the effect of establishing two important precedents in Ohio election matters. It overrules the long-recognized principle that the Secretary of State is the final arbiter in matters of dispute concerning the printing of names upon a ballot and permits the ballot to be used by the ballot "stickers" heretofore had been limited in use only in the case of a vacancy on the ticket caused by the death of a candidate. In the campaign preceding the presidential primary election in Ohio, the Secretary of State ruled against the use of "stickers" on the ballot when asked to permit the names of Herbert C. Hoover and Senator Hiram W. Johnson to be placed before the voters as candidates, by means of "stickers". Another effect of the ruling will be to abrogate the practice of leaving one blank space on each office for use in writing in names of candidates at the polls. Secretary Smith this afternoon began to send out letters to all Beards of Elections throughout Ohio to inform them of the "sticker" that must be attached to the ballots. They will be distributed to the various precincts when the ballots are distributed. The decision of the Supreme Court brings to an end one of the most involved cases that has come up in state elections, and means that the voters at the August primary election will have three candidates to vote for.
Late Up of Contestants.
These are Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, who is seeking renomination, Editor Harry Clay Smith, petitioner in the mandamus proceedings of Charles O. Gebremlin, Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, the first of three Smiths to file for the nomination last month. Later the editor and Harold C. Smith, of Elyria, also filed for the same nomination. Charges of "collusion and conspiracy" to defeat the incumbent through a confusion of names were manufactured and re-
sulted in the filing of protests against the candidacy of the Cleveland editor and the Elyria Smith. Hearings were called by the Secretary of State to act upon the protesters. After the editor's hearing, Secretary Smith ruled that his name should not be placed upon the ballot. The Elyria candidate sent a telegram withdrawing from the race, and no hearing was scheduled. Henry L. Thomas of Cleveland, Hersey H. Godman of Columbus, for the editor took the case into the Supreme Court on mandates proceedings to compel Secretary Smith to place the editor's name on the ballot. They obtained an alternative writ, returnable yesterday, ordering the Secretary, of State to place the editor's name upon the ballot or to appear in court and show cause why the name should not be placed.
Denverry Filed By Smith.
Secretary Smith filed a demurrow to the attorney general for the decision of the Secretary of State was final in election matters. This demurrow was overruled, and Secretary Smith was ordered to appear in court this morning to contest the case. The court's decision was handed down when the Secretary indicated he could not go further with the case. The fact is he had no case, as Justices Jones and Wainmaker and Judge Nichols made perfectly clear, on Thursday afternoon, when questioning the attorney general who was the defendant, the Secretary Smith, court gave the attorney general 50 minutes to find Secretary Smith and confer with him, and ascertain if he had ANY legal ground for his persecution of the editor. Then when it was announced that the Secretary could not be found (about 5 p. m. Thursday), Judge Nichols, for the court, gave the attorney general until 11 a. m. Friday, to find Secretary Smith and ascertain whether he had such, incidentally, remarking that a peremptory order would be entered in the case. Denverry Filed By Smith and this was done. All the secretary's talk about "collision and conspiracy" was worthless as well as groundless, and even if true would not have been of any service to him in his contention. That the court made per-
Attorney Henry L. Thomas.
fectly clear also. The fact is that Attorneys Godman and Thomas had so carefully drawn the petition for mandamus and the answer to Secretary Smith's eleventh-hour demurrier that they simply "tied the Secretary in a knot" and there was nothing else for him to do but acknowledge defeat at the hands of two Afro-American attorneys, two of the very best in this country today. Too much credit for the great and grand victory cannot be given them. The result is, for the first time in the history of the great state of Ohio or any other state in the north, our people have a bona fide candidate for the Republican nomination for an important state office. They can secure this great honor and practical benefit to the race, if they will but vote in large numbers at the primary, August 10. Will they do it? We shall see. Here is an opportunity we long have sought and heretofore complained because we found it not. Attorney General Price and his first assistant (attorney general) represented Secretary Smith in the Ohio Supreme Court.
Aftermath.
Capt. Godman informs us that Secretary of State Smith told him again, this morning, that he had re-
received letters of sympathy, and endorsement of his action against the editor, from a number of colored men, and that he had a letter from Kalph W. Tyler of Cleveland, a lifelong resident of this city, So Thomas A. Goode, also of this city, has company. Our people throut Ohio should remember them, to say the least.
New York, July 16, 1920.
Dear Harry:—Information just published here discloses the fact that by yesterday you would press your fight in the courts as a result of an Ohio cracker office-holder's usurpation. Our fellow-victims of worldwide race persecution expect Negro Ohio's womanliness and manliness, politically to kill beyond resurrection Benedict Arnold Goode, arch-traitor of our race.
Having entered upon the road to the state secreturyship your sacred duty to our race demands that you shall not for a moment cease fighting until you victoriously arrive at the end of your journey. Fight! win!! TRIUMPH!!!
Your Friend,
Wm. H. Dammond.

Stand by your colors. We are with you and know that right-thinking people of all classes take the same view. Surely the time has come when one who votes for a quarter of a century, loyalty and consistently, has the right to be voted for by his peers.

On this sweeping victory please accept my heartiest congratulations, with the hope that the result of the primary will show that you have the Republican nomination, which you deserve.
Again congratulating you, and with my sincere good wishes for your success, I am.
Yours very truly,

My dear Harry:—I have kept posted in your manly fight for justice and fair play and hasten to congratulate you on the outcome. The fight put up by the opposition was weak and I knew there could be but one outcome if it reached the State Supreme Court.
I would like to run across you some time and have a good talk for "old time's sake." I am still with the Pennsylvania* System, Law Department, and am getting along fine. I am well regarded and best wishes and hoping I may have the pleasure of running across you some time, I am.

Cleveland, O., July 12, '20. Hon Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, City.
My Dear Mr. Smith:—It is with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction that I write you, at this time, knowing of the injustices which are being heaped upon you by unscrupulous Americans, in their attempt to eliminate you from the contest. for Secretary of State. I sincerely hope that the Supreme Court will overrule Secretary of State Smith.
In thinking your candidacy through, I am of the opinion you can win! I make the following suggestions: That we organize Ohio, and send a speaker, into each community where there are large numbers of our people, the Sunday before the primaries, and tell our folks the story, and urge them to go to the polls and vote for you. It seems that this would be very simple, and very inexpensive—the working out of Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton, Xenia, Springfield and Cincinnati. You have friends enough, especially since the stand you have taken, and this will count a, great deal towards putting your across.
If I can be of service to you, com
mand me.
Respectfully,
Welcome T. Blue.

Is there not some question whether or not behind your ruling there was interest your ruling in the matter of against those Smiths? I know of no Thomas A.

Inasmuch as the great responsibility you have you base your ruling upon a "broad assumed. It is a dangerous proceed-interpretation of the law" I want to examine into the motives that take issue on that ruling.
That we may understand each other public office, to exercise a right or in the onset, I am a Republican and discharge a duty. For instance, your helpful for Republican success for former ruling upon the right of the whole Republican ticket, including electors to become candidates for yourself, although I am not delegate to a presidential convention, burning with a fervent zeal for your complimentary term. This being true but I might do you a grave injustice I ought not to say or do anything that to offer a motive for that ruling. will bring into the issue that which You say your highest duty is to might help to make hard the strug-gle for Republican supremacy, this purity of the ballot, and to preserve fall.

Your opinion ballot, for political parties and can-assails the man—I only assail the candidates for office, free from confu- sion, mistake and undue influence.
Let us talk out loudly and without equivocation. You mean "good motive" when you say "good faith." You speak by the trope. When you pretend to extol "good faith" you are condemning a disagreeable motive. This is the "fly in the ointment." You were anxious to defeat the right of these other Smiths to have their names appear upon the nominating ballot, because you were afraid that you might suffer the loss of some votes in your struggle to beat Mr. Hildebrandt. So that you were the only person to suffer with their names on the ballot and the only person to be benefitted if their names were taken off the ballot. With this fact postulate, is there

not some question whether or not your ruling was made in good faith? Is there not some question whether or not behind your ruling there was some such motive as you charge against these Smiths? I know of no law that allows you to examine into the motive of those who file their nominating papers. If there is such a statute it ought to be cited. Only express provisions of law can justify the great responsibility you have to examine it is a dangerous proceeding that exacerbates the motives that prompt men to offer light or discharge a duty. For instance your former ruling upon the right of electors to become candidates for delegate to a presidential convention, seemed to me to be fair on its face, but I might do you a grave injustice to offer a motive for that ruling.
You say your highest duty is to safeguard electors, to secure the purity of the ballot, and to preserve the right of each elector in this state, insafar as it is possible to cast his ballot, for political parties and candidates for office, free from confusion, mistake and undue influence. This may be true. But there is a limit to the manner in which it must be accomplished. There is no such recognized duty as doing an unlawful act for a lawful purpose. The theory of it" does not behone the Christian doctrine nor hold a place in the enforcement of the laws of a Christian nation. The statute (section 4952 G. C.) is authority for the act of the Hon. Harry Clay Smith in filing his nominating papers. By what authority do you strike them from the files?
You say you must save from confusion. What confusion? To save from a confusion of issues, where the ballot presents an issue upon initiative or referendum, you may within your power require proper titles, definitions and statements, but you cannot extend this power to include the names of candidates. You have no authority to change a person's name nor to deprive him of his right. No doubt if the Hon. Harry Clay Smith had been able to have controlled the family, patronymic, he would have chosen a more distinctive name than "Smith" and would have answered to some other given name than "Harry." But surely, you will not hold him guilty of bad faith for this. I am sure he is your right in years and had the first right for his name. In such case equity would follow the rule of priority and require you to change your name or bear the burden of this dangerous confusion. There is some difference between a confusion of similar names and the element of bad faith. Bad faith means dishonesty. Dishonesty ought not to be determined by names. The similarity is too great; it might involve the innocent. And yet insofar as am able to see, similarity of names is the crime for which the Hon. Harry Clay Smith stands convicted by you. If there is any other ground there are thousands of people who would like to know it.
Let us again speak without equivocation. The bad faith predicated upon confusion of similar names, in its most disagreeable and final analysis may be said to have led to a combination to defeat your candidacy for nomination. What of it? We are living in an age when 'no man's candidacy is so sacred that it becomes vicious or criminal to oppose it. The nominee of either presidential nomination will find himself opposed by Eugene V. Debs, the great socialist leader, who is serving a sentence in a Federal prison. There is absolutely no chance for his election; he is popular only among the few of his followers in his boldest enemy has forged him with bad faith. Parties, political power uses as its choice and most practical option for the accomplishment of its particular purposes, the machinery of combinations, and scruples not at the manner in which they are formed, nor the personnel. And as to any complaint against combinations, "He that is without, sin among you let him first cast a stone."
You say you must also save the electors from "undue influence". What evil is this? Perhaps you have in mind to save the electors from the influence that would corrupt them—a selfish, debasing influence. Ought not you to be saved from the same influence? When the question (Continued on page two)

COX PANDERINGS.
The long series of pro-German and pacifist editorials that appeared in Gov. Cox's paper, the Dayton News, following the sinking of the Lusitania, reveals another and decidedly unlovely side if the Cox personality. For the sake of currying the favor of the German vote in Ohio, Cox did not hesitate to print editorial matter in his paper which was the very antithesis of red-blooded Americanism.
EMERSON'S IDEAL
In his immortal and inspiring essay on "Self-Reliance" Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke in terms of confidence of the boy who "Farms, teams it, teaches school, studies law, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress and like a cat, always lights on his feet." Such a man is Warren G. Harding who has been nominated by the Republican for President of the United States. He has had all these varied experiences and more, and has always lighted on his feet.
一
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis severely criticizes Mr. Wilson for commuting the sentence of a cattle swindler. But what of Kate O'Hare, Robert Miner, and that ilk? And when is Debs to be reprieved? If Mr. Wilson does not grant a general amnesty of all political marplots, thugs, and confidence men before he finally steps down and out on March 4th next, the country will be surprised and gratified.
THE TAMMANY WINK.
Former Congressman Ansberry, who placed the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt in nomination for the Vice Presidency at the San Francisco convention, admits that he first went to Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall and got his consent. "Murphy gave a wink and a nod," says the story of the meeting, "and that meant volumes to Ansberry." And it is with winks and nods from Murphy that the government of the United States would be run for the next four years if Cox and Roosevelt should be put in nominal charge of affairs.
Senator Harding was one of the original 39 Senators who attached their signatures to the round robin of March 4, 1919, decreeing that the league of nations in the form proposed by the President should not be adopted by the United States. He held to that declaration throughout the treaty fight, and by speech and vote assisted in the emphatic repudiation of the covenant by the Senate Republicans. Mr. Harding's endorsement of the Second Declaration of Independence, and his steadfast adherence to its principles, is sufficient announcement to the people of the brand of Americanism that will dominate our foreign relations once he has entered the White House.
COX AND WILSON AGREE.
According to statements issued by President Wilson and Gov. Cox they agree upon the Wilson policy touching our international relations. They agree that the League of Nations should be adopted as brought back from France by President Wilson. They believe Article X should remain as brought back by Wilson. In other words both believe that the youth of America should be subject to the whims and vagaries of European politics and national boundaries. This much is settled, that if Mr. Cox is elected our national honor among
Americans is gone and our independent existence as a nation is doomed. It further means that, if this is to come about, some American must be made the head of the League so that our own undoing can come from the Judasies among us. It is fair to ask Mr. Cox that if he is elected president will he appoint some man of the Wilson type to represent us in the League who will carry out the silly scheme of the present administration? If so, is that man Woodrow Wilson? Did Mr. Cox agree to the Wilson betrayal of America in order to keep the Democratic party united as now under Wilson and if victorious will he continue the visionary scheme of his present boss in the White House? It is also fair to ask Mr. Wilson, in since he and Mr. Cox are in our national and international policy, did he make any secret arrangement with the powers of Europe whereby should the U. S, accept the League that he, President Wilson, would in turn be made by European lords the super-president of the world government at Geneva? If he has made any such agreement, and the Democratic party is victorious, has he determined upon how much money every American makes daily can be used by him and his family and also how much the super-lord and his super-government will demand to run the world monarchy? It is also fair to ask both Gov. Cox and President Wilson if they intend to say to Americans that "keeping faith with Europe" to establish this super-government is of greater importance to America than keeping faith with Americans who are now breaking under taxation and grooming under burdens that they will not much longer stand? Upon these answers much depends. Of course, we expect an evasion but nevertheless they must be true to Europe and false to America, if elected.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days."
The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise?
The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

before you so vitally concerns your own interests, and when that question is settled and disposed of in a manner which. as far as it could, protects your own interests, is there not some ground to fear the presence of this "undue influence"?
It will not do to say that you act within the spirit of the law. Courts of law, conducted by skilled and honest judges, have put forth the principle that it is dangerous to interpret laws by what appears to be the spirit of the law. Too often that spirit is breathed into the law by the interpreter who then finds in the spirit of the law his own feelings and desires. Mr. Secretary, is this not what you have done?
Have you not breathed into the law this spirit of the law which served your own purpose to strike out of one man's hand the palladium of his citizenship and out of the 125 citizens who doctors the right to speak their choice.
While I would not assume to advise you in politics, it does look to me that you have thrown away a splendid opportunity to serve yourself by rising above yourself, and extending your political vision beyond the horizon of yourself. No harm could have come to you either in the primaries or the election. But you have, without a sufficient reason, alienated the sympathy, if not the active support, of a great number of electors, and compelled a most humiliating to test against the exercise of a power to threaten the cannot believe you possess. And, while my people will hope and work for a Republican victory, this fall, they will not look upon your ruling in this case as a powerful stroke on that side, nor will it fill them with an unyielding faith in the indoctrination of your screed.

arbitrary denial of a clear right, by a public official under bond and
warn to do so, is likely to meet
with compensation to the injured party.
This is not uttered in a vindictive spirit but is a mere matter of
fairness between man and man. While
a believer in harmony among members
of our own party, nevertheless
this is a case for the adjudication
"12 good and true men."

Dear Mr. Smith:—Congratulations on your success in securing the decision whereby your name will be placed in nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio.

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 gullotones declare our least disputes.

THE MAN WHO DARES.
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, in-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 Sumner.

"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.

Devoe, a Smart Leader: Josh Devoe, catcher and manager of the Tate Stars, is a hustling, never-say-quit player. He imbued his men with that spirit. The team's success rested on the fast-going Tate Stars, with an excellent chance for the championship of their class, is generally and rightly credited to the baseball brains of their leader whom Rube Foster once said was "one of the smartest young players he ever trained. During 1913-14 he played with the Hawaiian League in Honolulu, 1915, with Foster's American All-Stars in Chicago, in Crawford All-Stars of Chicago, in the Crawford All-Stars of Joe Green's Chicago Giants where he broke the semi-pro record for consecutive games caught.
Joe Bettis, veteran third sacker of the Naco Giants, seems to have had a rejuvenation of youth for he is batting and fielding as never before. Sharkey, the "up and doing" middle gardener of the Tates and playing fine ball, shows his good sense by the way he takes well-meant criticism. Keep a level-head Sharkey and some day a fat weekly check for playing baseball will be yours. Pat Rogers, the "wise old owl" of the Argonne, never sleeps and is planning some surprises for the baseball public.
According to the lively and interesting "Amateur Athlete," Boyd, the Tate's great left gardener, is leading his mates at bat with 11 hits in 29 trials for a percent of .379. Sharkey, 11 hits in 36 efforts, is next with .355, followed by Wilson, .350. Williams, .333; Harvey, .300; Devoe, .150; "Ruben Henderson," 143.

FOR COLE FOR GOVERNOR.
Mr, Male Objects to Councilman
Fleming's Statement in Favor
of Harry L. Davis’ Candidacy
Mesopotamia, O., July 19, 1920.
Editor Gazette, Dear sir:— I see
that Thomas W. Fleming of your
city in an interview. at Columbus,
‘claims that ninty-five per cout of the
colored voters are going to support
Harry L. Davis for governor.
‘Very recently, a very prominent
man of Cleveland said to me among
other things: “That the’ candédacy
of Davis is a joke and that he would
oe only @ very few votes outside
|of Cleveland.”
| Whom are werto believe and where
are we at?
Seriously.-what does Davis stand
for anyway ?
‘Whit: has “he done to merit ninety-
five per cent of the colored vote of
| Ohio?
Are they-going to support him
simply. because he is a wet candidate
If so, this is placing a very low
estimate. on the colored people of
Ohio. No doubt, quite » mumber will
support him, for thé reason mentioned
abbve. I cannot believe however but
that a greater number will refuse to
support him for the same reason.
‘The aspirations of a majority of the
(colored people, I assure you, are
igher than this.
| Evidently every colored voter who
‘has any sense of justice and any
race pride and who-believes in a
square deal is going to vote for
'Harry Clay Smith for Secretary of
State, not solely because he is 3
colored man, but because he ts amply
| qualified | to discharge all the du%er
of the office.
But because we are going to sup-
port Mr. Smith fs no good reason why
we should vote for Davis.
Give us a man who stands for
‘something worthwhile, a man whose
‘record is clean and above reproach
a man who is friendly to our people
and one who advocates @ square
‘deal. Such a man is Ralph D. Cole
of Findlay! +
I appeal to every colored woter
of Ohio, who believes in good gov-
ernment, who believes in placing
‘clean, capable men in positions of re-
sponsibility, who. believes in ae
to every man regardiess of color tc
vote for Ralph D. Cole for governor
and Harry Clay Smith for Secretary
‘+ State.
