FILLMORE MARRIED AGAIN.
His Splendid Service and Remarkable Career in France During the World War.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Lieut. Col. Charles W. Fillmore, formerly major of the 9th Ohio Battalion and captain in the 15th N. Y. Inf. and a widower, arrived in the city, Aug. 13, to be married to Madam Jessie S. Lee, a prominent business woman of Springfield, Ill. Col. Fillmore had a varied experience with the A. E. F. in the Great War in France. After participating in the battles of the Champagne-Marne and Aisne-Marne with his gallant regiment, 15th N. Y., in July, 1918, when he was decorated by the French government with the Croix-de-Guerre for gallantry and bravery in battle, he was transferred to the staff of Gen. Ballou of the 92d Div., and later assigned to the command of a company of the 366th U. S. Inf., and participated in the battle of the Muse-Argonne and the defensive sector in the Vosges Mountains.
After the strenuous activities which tried the very souls of men, he was again transferred, this time to the 370th U. S. Inf., (former 8th Ill. Inf.). He participated with this regiment in the offensive battle of the Oisne and Aisne and continued in pursuit of the enemy until the signing of the armistice. Nov. 11, 1918. For valiant services, he was appointed regimental adjutant by Colonel Roberts and continued as such until the regiment was mustered out of service at Camp Grant, Ill. Feb. 29, 1919. Col. Fillmore enjoys the unique distinction of being the first Afro-American officer to land on French soil in command of troops, the first to enter the trenches in April, 1918, and the first to receive citation by the French government.
Mrs. Lee conducts and owns the Green and Lewis Hair Firm, the largest hair concern in Central Illinois, which was the first of its kind in Springfield, having been established by its former proprietors, Green and Lewis, members of the race, in 1870.
Col. and Mrs. Fillmore, after a visit at Atlantic City, will reside in New York, where he is an auditor in the State Income Tax Bureau. Both are Ohioans.
southern whites nor blacks to keep alive the Republican party in the south for these last twenty years. The white and black Republicans of the south have conceded politics and the running of the southern states and their government, tp, white Democrats. The Democratic party of the south announces publicly that it does not want colored voters. In the face of this, and more, it is almost incredible that any human being of color should advise their race to vote against a party that is the only open antagonist to the ritten Democratic party that has governed the south for generations and is now running the federal government into the ditch of destruction.
The issue in this campaign for black people is the re-election of a Republican Administration and the utter destruction on everything that savours of the southern Democratic rottenness that has plagued for seven years. I am not now concerned about the weakness of the Republican party. All I am thinking about is its coming back into power and then we shall fight for our reforms inside of the party and not now, which will mean aid and comfort to the Democratic nuisance. There may be good men on the inside of the Democratic party but they are under the thumb of the worst in American life and politics. These good men, within the Democratic party, have no more to say in the shaping of the policies of the party than do the cotton-picking Negroes of Mississippi. Every self-respecting white man of the north should join with the Republican party and forever destroy the Democratic machine that crushes the life out of every section of the country save the south, and to this part it sends its millions. Oh no, my foolish Negro hireling, "nothing doing". We are determined to defeat the Democratic party. A third party is a Democratic ally. No third party for us! But we stand for the battle of the Republican party against the Democratic southern oligarchy.

County candidates staged a fitting close to their campaign for office last evening with a mass meeting in the city park.
There was a good crowd present, and Mayor Jones, acting as chairman kept everyone in good humor, and introduced the candidates. Each man was given ten minutes to present his claim. Some of them took more than the prescribed time and some of them consumed less than five minutes.
Considerable interest was manifested in the appearance of Hon. Harry C. Smith, colored candidate for Secretary of State. He made a whitwind speech, demonstrating that he was an orator, and without a doubt turning a goodly number of votes his way. He stated that he had never had and never would ask for votes on account of his color. He stood squarely on his own merits and served six years, in the State legislature, and believed he was competent to hold the office he was asking for.
Robert Pulley, colored candidate for county commissioner, also made a plea for support.
Others who spoke were Chas. Williams, and Wm. Oldm; candidates for county clerk; W. B. Richmond, S. V. Haigh, and O. E. Rankin, candidates for county commissioner; C. R. Summers, Oberlin, candidate for State representative and Walter Ludwig, candidate for county treasurer—Elyria (O.) Daily Chronicle-Telegram, Aug. 10, 1920.
Ever Look Beyond the Hills!
To aim high and miss the mark,
Thou art no less a man.
Because of skin that's dark
Demur not to do what others can.
Honor to one who dost an effort make
To stand on higher ground.
O. Ethiopia! it is for thy sake,
Men of like purpose are found.
In such, thought of self is lost,
But of Thee, beloved race, though
dear the cost,
Ability unhindered, now, or bye and
bye,
Will not mar, or despoil, but bless
and glorify.

Senator Harding's address touched in the beginning of the early days of journalism, familiar to many of his hearers, and turned to present day obstacles with special reference to the high cost of print paper. This, he asserted, was only to be met by a comprehensive governmental forest conservation and propagation policy. In speaking of the old-time newspapers there was in Senator Harding's words a note of regret that the journals of another day were passing. "The old-time paper-going back to the last century—was usually a journal of opinion," declared the speaker. "It reflected the convictions as well as the opinions of its owner and editor, and it was the real molder of opinion in its influence upon its readers and the community it served." The speaker characterized the transition from the party organ to the independent newspaper as a mixed blessing. "The partisan newspaper, in its editorial expression, uttered the considered views of a large element of our citizenship," the Senator said. "while the independent paper is often the organ solely of its owner, or it is colorlessly neutral. I am glad, therefore, that you came here today as partisans—Republican partisans—believing in the formulated policies of the Republican party and having faith in its purposes, honesty, capacity and courage." In another phase of his address the presidential nominee declared there was need in this country for return to old standards of honesty and to the teachings of religious mothers. "If I could call for but one distinction," the Senator said. "I would like ours to be known as an honest people. We need the stamp of common, everyday honesty everywhere. We need it in business, we need it in labor, we need it in professions, in pulpits, in editorial rooms, in circulation count. Aye, we need it in politics, in government, in our daily lives." In his conclusion the speaker asserted that no more powerful agency existed than the patriotic American press for true guidance to the "charted way. But

It must remain free, utterly free, with freedom of speech, freedom of religious belief and the freedom of righteous pursuit, it must be honest and it ever must be rejoicing in American nationality which is our priceless possession." The pilgrimage to Senator Harding's home was preceded by an editorial luncheon in the dining room of the Masonic organization, which followed a reception of the visiting newspapermen at the Marion club where they were registered and presented with appropriate badges. With the Ohio editors sat as guests at the banquet table, a number of journalists of national note. Merritt C. Speidel, editor of the Piqua Call and President of the Ohio Republican Editorial Association, presided as chairman at the luncheon gathering, though delegating the active duties to Geo. H. Clark, chair. Repub. State Advisory Committee, who introduced those scheduled for brief responses, these numbering leaders of the journalistic fraternity and Congressman Simeon D. Fess. Telegrams of regret at inability to be in attendance were read from Frank B. Willis, Republican nominee and Harry L. Davis, Republican choice for governor. "I have just come from Lincoln, Neb., and can definitely state that the country is with Senator Harding," said Congressman Fess. "This is not only my judgment but was conceded by one of the leading Democratic statesmen only yesterday in a conversation with me. Our Democratic friends are banking upon what they can do in Ohio," the speaker continued. "They are reporting that they will carry the state and using that as a slogan throughout the country. When they analyze the vote-getting ability of their candidate, as compared with that of our own, their enthusiasm will be dampened. I am convinced that the country is greatly pleased over the conduct of the campaign, on the basis of a dignified attitude, so noticeable in Warren G. Harding. While the people enjoy a sport, they do not want too much comedy attached to the presidency."
Present at the editorial luncheon were the presidents of the four editorial associations of the state. These were: Merritt C. Speidel, of the Piqua-Call, president of the Republican Editorial Association; Col. G. W. C. Perry, Chillicothe Gazette, president of the Ohio Associated Dailies; Fred W. Bush, Athens Messenger, president of the Ohio Select List, and John E. Hopley, president of the Harding-For-President' Newspapermen' club of Ohio, of which Editor Hardin Tolbert of the Cincinnati Journal and Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, are the only Afro-American members.
Mr. Speidel, in a statement, called attention to the endossement of the Republican Editorial Association of Senator Harding for President more than a year ago. "We are proud of the fact." President Speidel said, "that one of our type, who has been identified with the profession in all its branches, is so surely headed for the White House."
Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, stated that his candidacy for Secretary of State, resulted in at least 20,000 more colored men registering for the primaries than have registered in years. "I guarantee," said Mr. Smith, "that practically everyone of the 50,000 who voted for me will vote for Senator

SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920.
Gov. and Candidate Cox and other leading Democrats seem greatly concerned about the eighteenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Wonder if they ever give a thought to the poor, down-trodden and greatly abused 14th amendment to the same Constitution?
A genealogy has been published in New Jersey showing that Candidate Cox is a descendant of James Cox who founded the first Baptist church in New Jersey. Pretty far cry from sanitation by immersion to a "wet" candidacy for the White House.
ABSENTEEISM
A Washington Society note informs us that the U. S. Ambassador to Japan, Roland S. Morris, spent the week-end at Asheville, N. C. Absenteeism in the diplomatic service seems to be a common occurrence under this administration. If Mr. Morris is not found out campaigning for Cox during the next few weeks it will be a wonder. As it is, he draws $17,500 as Ambassador to Japan and remains at home. This is by no means the only instance of this kind under the present regime. If there ever was a time when able representation of this country at the Mikado's court was needed, it is at present, but political security above national safety is the policy of the Democrats.
THE SINKING SHIP.
C. B. Ames, assistant attorney general; Thomas J. Spellacy, another assistant; W. J. Flynn, of Palmer's bureau of investigation; and several of Flynn's associates, Francis J. Garvan, who is said to have appointed the above-named gentlemen, and Robert T. Scott, Palmer's confidential secretary, are reported to be considering resignation from Palmer's Presidential Campaign Headquarters, formerly known as the Department of Justice. This will about break up the political enterie which worked for the election of Mr. Palmer with funds appropriated by Congress to reduce the high cost of living. And even if they should be followed out of the department by the adorns of Wilsonism, Palmer himself, the department would continue to function quite as indefectively. But what is that old proverb about the rats and the sinking ship?
EQUESTRIAN COX.
To carry water on both shoulders—to ride two horses going in opposite directions—seems to be the plan and purpose of Candidate Cox of the Democratic party. He is absolutely at one with Thomas Woodrow Wilson on the League of Nations' covenant and yet he has managed somehow to satisfy Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, who is unalterably opposed to the Wilson League scheme. He proposes, if elected, to take an oath to serve the United States, and yet has given his unqualified pledge to fulfill every known and unknown promise Woodrow Wilson may have made in his negotiations and communications with the representatives of foreign countries, which promises, judging by President Wilson's own statements, will require the United States to make the "supreme sacrifice." Mr. Cox would pose as the leader of the Democratic party and yet almost his first act after his nomination was to subordinate himself to President Wilson, the rejected leader of the party, who insists upon being dictator in any undertaking with which he is connected. Mr. Cox was nominated by the political enemies of Woodrow Wilson and has attempted to make his friends of Woodrow Wilson his.
He was nominated by the leaders of Tammany Hall over the protests of Mr. Bryan but has managed somehow to placate Mr. Bryan and induce that "peerless leader" to believe that he is an exponent of Bryanesque policies. If Mr. Cox can succeed in deceiving the advocates of principles that are at direct opposites he will confirm the assertion so frequently made by Democratic politicians that he is a past master in political cunning.
CAN THIS BE TRUE?
A Columbus friend wrote us, two weeks ago, as follows: "A fellow from Zanesville came to me and shook hands with me and thanked me for what I had said relative to your candidacy, and said I had convinced him of his duty which was now plain to him. He told me that Harvey C. Smith while probate judge there (in Zanesville) refused to grant a marriage license to white women and colored men. That he held up such applications and stated publicly that he would not grant such applications while he was judge unless ordered to do so by a higher court, etc., etc.; that the papers in Zanesville featured his position on this subject and published his remarks and statements. This was about five years ago."
John P. Bowles, Sr., of Columbus and Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati were the only well-known Afro-Americans in all Ohio, we have heard of, to openly work for Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's candidacy and against our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State.
Comment unnecessary!
SENATOR HARISHING MEETS HIS BROTHER MOTORS
(Continued from Page 4)
Harding. "All are enthusiastic for him. His utterance against lynching and for just rights, in his speech of acceptance, has delighted my people and I do not know of a 'single race paper that has not endured his indictment."
Sherman A. Cuneo.
As the newspaper men, who followed us, filed past Senator and Mrs. Harding and shook hands with them, last Friday, at Marion, we noticed among the number Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus and his associate in business, Ormond A. Forte of Cleveland. As they approached the Senator, Editor Hardin Tolbert of the Cincinnati Journal, who stood with the writer, quietly remarked:
"I cannot see where Tyler gets the nerve to shake hands with Sen. Harding after writing and publishing those 'hily-white' Texas lies and others, prior to the recent presidential primary."
We simply remarked, "agree!" A monumental nerve is one of the two things Tyler is noted for wherever known. It is hardly necessary to mention the other. Immediately upon our arrival in Marion, last Friday noon, after reporting at the Marion Club as instructions called for, the writer went to Senator Harding's personal headquarters, next to his residence to see an old friend (Howard D. Mannington), whom we found, was on a trip east (to New York City). As a substitute for our friend, Senator Harding proved most acceptable and we had a very pleasant visit.
Thursday of this week, we were again in Marion, called by Capt. John P. Maynard, clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives, to meet the General Assembly of Ohio, former members and those nominated at the recent primaries as candidates (Republican) for the Legislature. All gathered there to call on Senator Harding, who was a member of the Ohio Assembly in 1900 and 1901 when Exgov. Frank B. Willis, Ex-Congressman Ralph D. Cole and the writer were members of the other branch of the Assembly—the House of Representatives. The writer was serving his third term in the "House" at the time. The members, former members and will-be members of that august body, who were in Marion, Thursday, registered at the Marion Civic Association at 11:30 a.m., prepared for dinner and the usual front porch speech at the Harding residence which has characterized all similar pilgrimages in recent weeks to the home of the next president of the United States—Senator Warren G. Harding.
It would not have surprised us in the least, remembering Editor Tolbert's dry remark of last Friday, to have seen Ralph Tyler at Marion, this week Thursday, but he was not there. Surely, he must have overlooked the occasion. Our readers will remember that the individual mentioned invited himself to Marion, several weeks ago, with a gentleman from the south by the name of Booze—a reminder of days that have gone (the name).
Members of the race, who have gone to Marion in recent weeks, all speak in the highest terms of their treatment there by everyone with whom they came in contact. And we cannot close this article without adding a word of praise, as a result of our treatment and that of those of the race here: Thursday and last week Friday.

Nothing short of a victory could have been more gratifying to you and your friends. It was seized upon by the people in Chicago as a signal for great rejoicing because, aside from the salutary effect upon the hopes and desires of the race, you have a personal popularity with people who know you that is an incentive for very great interest in things that commute in your favor. I am truly glad to know that your fighting spirit is still intact and the results are so satisfactory.
Very truly yours,

Jack Donaldson, formerly of the locals, hurled for the visitors, allowing only four scratch hits. McNair, K. C.'s left fielder featured the game with several sensational catches.

Jimmy Reel, the Tate's outer-gardener and a cooner, was in the game, Sunday, "up to his ears," featuring several hard catches and getting the only extra-base blow off Sitts. Pat Rogers, hustling manager of the speedy Argonnes, is planning a soiree at League Park, next Friday and Saturday week, with the fast Fairmount, W. Va., Giants as his opponents. The N. Y. C. boys, last Sunday, at Naco Park, showed a pitcher, Freeman, who promises well. He had a pretty, fast ball with a hop and a sharp-breaking curve. Cisco was back in the game for the Nacos, Sunday, and his "lay-off" did him no harm, for he led their batting rally and turned back six Central boys who attempted theft. A Charlie Lab of Detroit, led by popular Charley Roxborough, had four thousand fight fans at Mack Park last week to see "Lil Artha" Stigall box, Kid Washington a fast 10-round draw Harry Cook bested "Chicago" Jack White in a smashing battle.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, AUGUST 21, 1920.
We are not discouraged, but very, very happy indeed over the outcome of Tuesday's primary, as far as our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State is concerned. We could not have been pleased more unless victory—the nomination—had perched upon our banners. This, particularly, because of the splendid support our people throughout the state gave us so freely and so willingly. It is simply impossible to find words with which to express our thorough appreciation of the splendid, united support given. For a man of our class of people, standing as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the second highest position in the great state of Ohio, and, too, for the first time in its history, to receive between 50,000 and 60,000 votes is a wonderful achievement for the loyal Afro-Americans of the "Buckeye" state. We are just as proud of the result as we can be and, as has already been said, nothing but securing the nomination itself could make us feel any better. It was indeed a wonderful result and will prove helpful to our people throut Ohio and the country for years to come. It is an opening wedge which will undoubtedly be taken advantage of in the near future. As far as we are concerned, it is but a beginning.

"LILY-WHITE" TEXAS LIES
Published By Ralph W. Tyler. An
noyed Senator Harding—An
Interview With The Next
President of The U. S.
Special to The Gazette
NEW YORK City.—On arriving at the Harding home in Marion, O., on July 9, 1920, the writer learned that the administrator was in conference with his former manager, Mr. H. M. Daugherty and his senator. Senator was informed of his arrival, he sent word that he would see him on the adjournment of the conference. Senator Harding received him heartily, and when first asked of his disposition toward the Negro, he declared himself as being the race's friend, and that he wanted to do everything fairly and squately. He put special emphasis on the fact that he believed in democracy first at home. He said that he didn't believe in such practices as lynching and mob-law, which were opposed to democracy. He said: "Tell your people that I believe in being fair and square, and that I don't believe in adjoining too before we were informed." He seemed to be greatly annoyed over the confusion caused by some political grifters, who sent out the contemptible "lily-white" Texas lies. He said that he expressly stated that he wanted the "lily-white" and the "black and tans" to come together. He further said that he would have expressed himself in stronger terms, if the writer's wife had not been present. When asked what consideration he would give us as a race in his letter of acceptance on July 22nd, he said that there would be some mention of it in his letter, but not to any great extent, as he expected to make several speeches after July 22nd dealing with the situation. In the course of the interview, he stated that the different groups of people, such as the labor people, the Irish, etc., were asking what he was the country going to do for them. He said that there was one special thing that he wanted the writer to convey to the Colored people and to have them to think about it. It is this, "What are we going to do for the country?" He said in view of the present unsettled conditions of the country, it is more vital for all to think what they can do to help the country, rather than what the country is going to do for them. This, he said, did not only include the Colored group, but all others. His parting shot here was, "Let them meditate over this." The writer said to him that the Negro was not asking any favors, and the Senator for then, again stated that he would for "Square dealings and fair play." The writer further stated that what the race wanted, was a man in the White House who would be big enough to stand for what is right. On leaving, Senator Harding told the writer that he would be glad to hear from him at any time, and wanted him to write to him.

h® THE PELICAN LEGEND, 2»)
* Perhaps, ‘the strangest of all legends
Pertaining to birds is that ef the peli-
ean, said to have beem the third bird
to emerge from Noah's ark. It still
‘Uprives as ancient a (ype among birds
@s the badger is among quadrupeds.
‘The legend of the pelican is: “The
Pelican turneth ber beak against her-
Dreast, Herewith pierceth it till
[the blood gusheth out, wherewith she
mourisheth her young.”
| Om examination, the tradition ex-
Diains itself, The distinctive features
‘of the pelican are its enormous bili,
\with the commensurate pouch depend:
ing from the lower mandible, So great
is the capacity of this pouch and so
considerable its strength, that the na-
‘tives of many countries to this day
‘convert it into @ very serviceable bag.
‘The upper mandible terminates in a
hook, which curves over the lip of the
lower, and is of a redish color, The
tint of the feathers is, in the words of
‘the poet, “pearly white, but ruby tine:
tured.”
It may be assumed, the above fact
being premised, that the wo or three
eggs laid by the mother bird have
been hatched. Then the parents begin
to realize that the cares of paternity
sre heavy indeed. The amount of food
consumed by the young pelicans is
prodigious, As pelicans derive (he
whole of their sustenance from the
ieee and feed almost exclusively on
fish, the use of their formidable fish-
{ing implements is apparent. Whether
‘they are wading or swimming; they
dredge and scoop out their prey into
the pouch, where it passes though
‘Some amount of maceration before be
ing given to the young,
‘At this point enters that curious act
to which the observers of so many
ages have given an incorrect interpre-
sation.
In order to eJect the contents of the
pouch, the bird presses lis bill strong
Jy and with a kind of spasmodie nction
against Its breast, and the pinkish: hu:
Of its feathers, the red-tipped bill, and
often enough the blood of its captured
victims, combing to produce the effeci
that gave birth to the legend.
‘This tradition seems (o have found
eredence throughout Christendom, and
the proverbial “pelican in ber piety”
took root both as a symbol and 6
Phrase. By degrees the figure of ihe
pelican feeding her young developed
into 4 common emblem of charity, the
wee of which prevailed in southern Ca
rope. The figure is sometimes found

SMITH VS. HILDERRANT!
‘Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's
Campaign Committee Chairman
Persisted to the Last in Cireu-
lating the Lying Charge of
“Confusion.” Ete.
Columbus, Ohio, August 3, 1920.
Dear Sit:—Because of unusual efr-
cumstances I wish very briefly, to ad-
vise you of a situation of great in-
terest to me but of greater interest
‘to our party.
Harvey C. Smith, who is serving his
first term as Secretary of State has
‘been a faithful official, a credit to
the Republican party. Through the use
of the name of Harry Clay Smith
colored editor of Cleveland, an effort
is being made to confuse voters and
thereby secure the nomination of Mr.
Hildebrant who is the third éandidate
for this office.
To prevent this and to secure party
harmony I ask you to interést your
friends in voting for HARWEY C.
SMITH, present incumbent, *Remem-
ber that he has a middle initial only
while the Cleveland man’s name ap-
pears on the ballot with his middle
name printed in full,
Let us put forth a determined effort
in an appeal to the intelligence of our
Voters and defeat the plot laid by
political tricksters for personsl gain
ut the expense of the party.
Yours very truly,
Frank M. Ransbottom, chairman’ of
‘The Harvey C. Smith Campaign Com-
mittee State Central Committeeman
16th District.
Hildebrant’s Reply.
‘Wilmington, O., Aug. 3, 1920.
In the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sun-
day, August Ist, Mr, Frank Rans-
brio of Roseville, 0., chairman of
the organization -advocating the re-
‘nomination of the present Secretary
of State, contends that the opposi-
tion to See'y. Smith incited the candi-
dacy of the Hon Harry Clay Smith,
of Cleveland.
Mr. Ransbottom seems to forget
that the Supreme Court of Ohio gave
Sec’y. Smith an opportunity to come
before the Court at a certain time and
produce the testimony in support ot
he charge of collusion. conspiracy,
ste.. but Sec'y. Smith had no such
testimony and failed to appear! Hence
he charge against the Hon, Harry
Clay Smith stands as untrue, Yet, Mr.
Ransbottom endeavors to deceive the
voters of Ohio by circulating and ad-
vertising the FALSEHOOD.
In this connection I desire to say
to the Republicans of Ohio that I have
had nothing to do with the candidacy
of the Hon Harry Clay Smith or any
other Smith—have had no communi-
ation with either of them rela-
tive to his eandidacy and I brand any
such statement as false and malicious,

$ “HUMAN NATURE'S
3 FOULEST BLOT.”
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's
report
Of wrong and outrage, with
which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man’s ob-
durate heart.
It does not feel for man: the
natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as
the flax
‘That falls asunder at the touch
of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a
skin ?
Not colored like hisfown: and
having power
‘To enforce the wrong, for such
‘a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his
lawful prey.
‘Thus man devotes his brother,
and destroys:
"Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.
