THE high top rate in the scale has the effect of materially reducing the scales of gas in large quantities during cold weather periods. THESE excessive demands for heating purposes have been largely eliminated by the high price in the scale, a price purposely restrictive. The result is to safeguard your service. BUT it also lessens our sales. OUR return, on the present scale of prices, is less than 2% on our investment, obviously an unfair and impossible situation.

THESE must be raised, if your service is to have the benefit of the protective top rate and the scale, as a whole is to afford us a reasonable return. OUR investment and our property are essential parts of gas service. Neither property nor service can be made secure at the expense of the other. --- Beautiful Women YOU Can be Beautiful too.

(From the Atlanta Journal, April 20, '22) Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro Republican national committeeman from Georgia, came, from Washington, Thursday, to attend the meeting of the John W. Martin faction of Georgia Republicans, who claim to be the regular organization in Georgia, dating their credentials back to the Chicago convention, and whose credentials were supported by Johnson in a speech in Taft hall. Johnson gave a history of the Chicago convention, as bearing upon the credentials of the Martin faction, and declared them to be the regular organization in Georgia. He gave an account of his "stewardship" as national committee. Turning to the arduity has been rendered in the city of Washington, D. C., where he has resided since his election to the national committee. Turning to the question of patronage, Johnson declared he knew faith and fought hard for every recommendation of his wing of the party." "We have been defeated," he said, but the principles for which we stand will never be destroyed. He severely assailed President Harding, charging the president with having violated patronage agreements, and "turning down his best friends—those who were first elected and candidate." Johnson denied emphatically that he intended to resign as national committee man for the G. O. P. from Georgia. He added, the charge that he is trying to "Africanize the party in Georgia is untrue." "All we ask for is some little show, some recognition," he said. Taking up the Dyer bill, Johnson declared he had no apology to make to any one for the fight he made in its behalf. Talking of conferences he said had last year, O. P. leaders in Washington, last year, he boasted of the effort he made to establish a rule that no member of the Georgia "steering committee" of 100 members could serve unless he was worth at least $10,000. John W. Martin, leader of the Martin faction, called the meeting to order and stated that its object was to form a Republican organization and put out Republican candidates for congressmen in several districts and for various state-house The Times newspaper held a meeting about 125 Martin supporters of whom about ten were colored women. All the balance were colored men. The word was passed out to newspapermen that the state organization to be formed at the meeting would consist exclusively of white men. Dr. H. E. Stockbridge was elected temporary chairman and Ben J. Davis, colored, was elected temporary secretary. Dr. Stockbridge delivered some heated remarks declaring the J. Louis Phillips organization as interlopers and outsiders.

April 15.—Judge Harvey C. Smith, Secretary of State, struck out at the Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland editor, who, he says (but is wrong) was injected into the Republican race against him in 1920. His continued references to Editor Smith have aroused considerable interest through the state, although no other candidate has replied to him directly. It was stated, however, that the supporters of Col. Carmi A. Thompson of Cleveland, were distressed much as was Secretary Smith over the prospective entrance of Editor Smith into the primaries this year. They feel that he will be as much of a handicap to them as to Secretary Smith, because he lives in Cleveland, home of Col. Thompson (and Senator Arthur H. Day, another Cleveland candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor), where Thompson had expected the lion's share of the votes, his impatience with the suggestion that if they knew of a way to accomplish it, they gladly would join the forces of Secretary Smith to eliminate Editor Smith and confine the primary election contest to candidates of the Caucasian (composite) race. On the other hand this is not the wish of the editor, who says that his race to bring him out as a candidate definitely. He has heard from many, he says, and they wish him to run as their candidate, but he prefers to hear from others in southern and central Ohio before making up his mind. The Columbus organ of Afro-Americans seconds his appeal for Afro-American candidates of color and reads that Columbus Cincinnati and Dayton, Afro-Americans again will be candidates for Republican nominations for seats in the Ohio General Assembly, and every effort will be made to see that once nominated, they are not defeated this year. In the 1920 election, notwithstanding the landslide, Afro-Americans elected only one candidate out of six nominees. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Harper, of Lancaster Rd., gave a reception de luxe, last Saturday evening. Dr. H. L. Wallace, dentist, located for a year over the drug store, cor.

Shands, Published by Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York City. Price $1.90. Postage 10c extra. "White and Black" is the story of a small rural community in Texas. You have the Afro-American tenant farmer, the poor white, the landlord, the white and the colored preacher. You have these people in their relation to white and colored women. And the ture is presented by white Texa. Every one ought to read this story to see what a keen observer Shands is, how he picks out a bit of Texas and holds it up to us as it really is. It is a remarkable sign of the times that within a few weeks of one another Stribling's "Birthright" and Shands' "White and Black" should be published in New York. Of the two, Stribling's story is the more artistic. This young man from Tennessee is a master of style and has produced a beautiful piece of work, all the more remarkable since it deals with such sordid material. For this reason I like it the better, but two quick hits does not get so quick a hold upon one's sympathy. Perhaps this is because Stribling has dared to make a colored man his hero, to center his story about a Negro college graduate, and he has not sufficient knowledge of the race to make his figure wholly real. Whereas Shands has sketched his educated Afro-American very lightly, making his hero a white man. But it is not the people who count for so much in Shands novel it is the things that happen; theutching the young people in the young people play. Events move rapidly and the ending is powerful. Don't miss this book. I have reviewed many volumes since last October, and I cannot speak too strongly of the necessity of reading this story. Read it and then read "Birthright" and tell me which one you like the better. EDITOR T. THOS. FORTUNE. Trenton, N. J., April 21, 1922. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend: I thank you for the marked copy of "The Old Reliable," of April 1, with reproduction of "An Appreciation," from the East Tennessee News, by Editor Webster G. Porter. His appreciation of the old editors who are still young, among whom I have been following, but not surprising, as Mr. Porter is not only young but full of the high qualities which make for the useful and effective journalist, who draws upon all agencies and forces for inspiration in his work, and fully appreciates them, and has the broadness to say so. Long ago when I first met him I concluded that Mr. Porter was bound to become one of our most resourceful and useful editors. I think it is important to sixty-five years of age I feel just as young as when I entered active journalism in New York forty-three years ago, and just as devoted to the high ideals of manhood and citizenship for the race as I then was. I think time will have lots of trouble writing any wrinkles on my soul, however much it may batter my life. I am sure you must feel the same way about it, and you are, of course "a great deal older than I am." I am working hard as a journalist and rejoicing in my work, and I am sure you are doing the same, and we are not working for appreciation, but for the good that we may be able to do. And who of us has done more such work and good than Harry C. Smith? With kind regards and best wishes, and congratulations upon the good work you have done for the race, and are doing, Yours sincerely, T. THOS. FORTUNE. 25 Lamberton St. The remains of A. A.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Doing the Republican Party in the North Great Harm Why Ohioans of Color Are Determined to Have a Candidate for Governor—Must Have a Fair Deal Policy (Special to The Gazette) JERSEY CITY, N. J.—The Republican party needs a forceful and clearheaded leader at this time. Rebellion, dissatisfaction and mutterings are heard on all sides and these things are due to the lack of a definite, heroic and straight-forward Republican policy. The war and eight years of Democratic rule filled governmental power and the party is depictedically from the south. These office-holders are rampant, onesided, bitter Democrats and at every turn they stab the present administration and make hay for the Democratic party. They should go! The Republican party makes a mistake and then them cell-mel-out of office and back to their Democratic lairs. The policy of the present Administration is doing more to alienate northern colored voters than even did the Taft administration. The policy of not recognizing colored men and appointing them to office is at the point where it must cease. Governors of Republican states don't give preeminent men power who appoint them to office educated and efficient colored Republicans. The corrupt practice of giving colored men campaign funds, enough to get a drink, must stop. The common unscrupulous colored politician that sold himself and his people's vote for a few hundred dollars, gotten out of the campaign, must go! The Colored race must have positions in proportion to its vote in these Republican states. An oligarchy of office-holding, as apprehended, is possible in the north as it is in the south. The Republican party must prepare itself to deal with the honest, intelligent and respectable colored man and woman in politics. These intelligent people are capable of holding office and should have the positions. The entrance into the field as candidates for governors, senators and representatives by colored men is a protest against the unjust policy of Republican party managers. There may not be enough votes to elect these colored office-seekers but are not able to represent the Republican white aspirants. In doing this, the Democratic party slips in and all suffer. Negroes do not expect anything from Democratic governors but they do from Republican governors. To be deceived and treated wrong by the men of your own party is treason. GEN. MGR. S. W. RUTHERFORD And the N. B. L. I. Co.—Wonderful Progress in Ohio of one of our Leading Insurance Companies—Dist. Mgr. Cohron. S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., accompanied by W. A.

Under his management it has grown from a one-room rented office, with a $2,500 rent, to its present size. This is his first visit to the Ohio districts. The home office of the company is located at 609 F St. Washington, was located at 540 F St. a modern five-story building within three minutes walk of the heart of the city. Here are employed 125 young men and women. The company operates in ten states, has a paid up capital of $100,000, assets, $615,123.75; total insurance in force, $10,836.337. The Cleveland office, under the supervision of Geo E. Cohron, district manager has an agency force of between 60 and 65 employees and ambitious salesmen. Their office at 3725 Central Ave., in the Bowman Bldg., is one of our most completely equipped in the city. Altho Cleveland is the youngest district, in a six weeks drive for new business of the 42 branch offices of the company, the local branch stood second.

American Party in the Great Harm Determined to Have a Can- Must Have a Fair- Policy We need now somebody within the Republican party large enough to inaugurate a fair deal policy and this will bring about harmony and peaceful co-operation. The Re- publican party is the hope of this nation, but if it is in the hands of men who are minus the vision to meet the demands, the men must be defeated and the party rescued from their selfish grasp. The Re-publican party demands, and when the leaders of the Re-publican party adopt the same policy toward any class of Republican voters that the Democrats adopt, it is time to drive the Republican recreants out of power. The desire to have the Hon. Harry C. Smith run for governor of Ohio due to this injustice and匆忙 policy prevailing in large lankers in Ohio. Editor Harry C. Smith is honest, capable and a wise leader and would make a fine official. There are more than enough colored Republicans in Ohio to nominate him and he is in a position to play havoc with the Republican party if he so desires. But Mr. Smith will remain within the party lines and do his fighting, the leaders of the party in Ohio can control conditions. Will it do it? Only square-dealing will suit us. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.

A new music show that bears with it the imprimatur of many widely known names came to the theater this week. Molly Oidling* is the title of the piece, and it is the fruit of the labor of Otto Harbach, William Cary Dunan, Tom Johnstone and Will Marion Cook, all of whom have previously had a hand in successful music shows. The Queen of Sheba's historical visit to King Solomon was not entirely inspired by political considerations. That's a conclusion that be drawn from a new biography of the queen compiled from documents in the possession of the King of Abyssinia, who claims lineal descent from Sheba. This biography indicates that Sheba went up to see Solomon in her best vamp attire and "knocked 'em all cold" at the court in Jerusalem. Atty. Geo. A. Mundy, who was taken ill recently, is convalescing slowly. John C. Logan of Columbus has been doing good work, this week, in the state's "clean-up" efforts.

Already the colored Republicans are planning to put out a full state ticket in Ohio, President Warren G. Harding's home state, with that intrepid leader, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, brilliant editor of The Chesterland, Ohio, Gazette, as the nominee for governor. There are 125,000 colored voters in Ohio, so you may guess what is going to happen to "Brother Warren"—Augusta (Ga.) Regulator. You are mistaken, brother, at least as far as the editor of The Gazette is concerned. We are not considering or planning, as yet, the placing of "a full state ticket" in the field because we are hoping that Ohio Republican leaders will "see the light" soon and not make such drastic action as that necessary. ADDITIONAL HOSPITALIZATION The senate has passed the measure appropriating $17,000,000 for the construction of more hospitals for disabled war veterans. The roll call showed the sentiment to be unanimous for the bill. Congress is a unit in the desire to do everything possible to alleviate the condition of the men- whose health was lost in the defense of their country. --- TUMULTY BLACK-LISTED. We should now see a speedy waning of the Tumulty influence. Ever since Mr. Wilson's break down in October, 1919, Mr. Tumulty has assumed to be the former President's mouthpiece, and has studiously let it be known that no man stood closer to his chief than he himself. The result has been that Mr. Tumulty has commanded tremendous influence among Mr. Wilson's friends, who considered their cause won if they could gain his favor. Tumulty is now seen as a man who has sought to capitalize another's fame for his own personal profit. NOW, TO FUND. The foreign debt refunding commission has organized, following the confirmation of its members by the Senate, and notices will be promptly sent to the debtor governments that the United States is ready to proceed with the negotiations looking to the conversion of their obligations into longtime securities. Before the end of the calendar year much satisfactory progress will doubtless have been made, and the Treasury will be able to estimate with some accuracy the receipts to be expected each year from foreign sources. ONE BILLION BACK TAXES. The government is doing everything possible to speed up the collection of approximately $1,000,-000,000 in back taxes. A heavy deficit is faced by the Treasury, and every dollar to which the government is rightfully entitled is needed to meet pressing obligations. It is understood that the docket of the tax appeal board contains many cases involving $1,000,000 and more. Those sums remain unpaid because the taxpayers have filed claims alleging improper assessments. It is hoped to obtain a speedy determination of those cases. --- HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. The Atlanta (Ga.) Journal clipping, republished elsewhere in this paper, was received. Wednesday in an Atty. T. W. Holmes envelope (of that city) and enclosed therewith was a circular letter signed (with lead pencil). "Henry Lincoln Johnson." We offer this ex- planation because only a few weeks ago Mr. Johnson gave out an interview at Washington, D. C., which was sent broadcast over the country by the "National Negro Press Association," that made just the opposite impression to that being made by the Atlanta Journal publication which we give elsewhere in this paper. Mr. Johnson's two most recent statements anent President Harding do not harmonize. They leave him (dohnson) in a rather peculiar position in the minds of our people. Did you grant the Washington interview, referred to, and have you seen quoted correctly in the Atlanta Journal, Mr. Johnson? Then, too, what about that "state organization" to "consist exclusively of white men"? Have you joined the South's "illy-white" movement? Under the circumstances, as outlined in the foregoing, our people throut the country have a right to answers to these questions, from our only representative in the Republican National Committee. MONROE DOCTRINE OUR STANDBY. It appears that one of the South American nations was invited to the Genoa conference, which leads a Madrid newspaper to refer to the "contempt" with which they were treated after it became known that the United States would not attend. The incident indicates no contempt on the part of those European statesmen who were making out the invitation list, but it does show that they are coming to a clearer realization of the community of interest of nations in this hemisphere. Every western country has a joint interest in the integrity of the Monroe Doctrine, and freedom from entangling agreements with Europe is but a corollary of the principle behind the Doctrine. The attitude adopted by the United States toward Genoa was a sufficient indication of what the position of other American nations would be, and they were accordingly omitted. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR Omaha, Neb., April 20th, 1922. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry: I am indeed pleased to congratulate you in your effort. We can do nothing unless we try! Assisted by the population you have, of our people in your state, and your many white friends, you cannot but feel assured of the nomination and election to the Governorship of the great state of Ohio. If our people do their whole duty as men and women should, a contest of his kind may lay aside all feelings and do their full duty in protecting the rights of a race-loving and respecting peoples, and if the 125,000 voters would sacrifice all for one—they cannot help but bring about the desired result, which is justly due the race. I pray every colored man and woman voter in Ohio will do their whole duty as never before. Every state in the Union is looking to Ohio for a "Moses to lead them to victory and bring about that consideration which is properly due us as American citizens. God bless you and crown your efforts. With kindest regards, I am, as ever, your friend for success. Sincerely, F. L. BARNETT. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consciousious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worth equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights to all, but long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., APRIL 29, 1922 THE CRIME OF CRIMES! Is Southern Disfranchisement Says Dr. Byrd A Clarion Call to Southern White Women to Stop the Debauching of Colored Women in That Section. Jersey City, N. J.—In a statement issued by the Committee on Race Relations, located at Nashville, Tenn., it is shown that some progress in bringing the South around to a decent respect for law and order is being made. However, this committee does not go far enough. Besides there is no misunderstanding between the races in the South. Each race has determined upon a course of action without regard to law. The committee does not believe that our race should not share with in the administration of the laws of the South. Every wicked device known to the genius of political demagogues was adopted to exclude Negroes from governmental functions. The rape of the Negro's franchise is the crime of crimes which the South is not willing to atone for by restoring it. All attempts to have the relations with the races with white publicity white demagogues are permitted to gather around them the hoodlums and trash of the white race and fire them with hatred against our race, must ignominiously fall. The white ladies of canterbury and other southern states can correct this evil by refusing to elect men to office who are of such type, and also by repealing such laws and white publicity white demagogues and the juries of the courts. The trouble is, this committee on Race Relations is attempting to have race between the races with a status quo (as to conditions) and it will never come. It may be argued that Negroes, as such, are not competent to use the franchise. The answer is, they never will be so long as by force and brute strength they are kept out of it. Every citizen who fails the franchise until it is forced through crime. No one race in America has a right to arrogate to itself the right to administer the laws without regard to other races among them. The Negro is unprepared in the South, but it is not his fault. The school system was framed for the purpose—to keep it free from the lively宣扬ed policy of "white supremacy and Negro inferiority" is another reason for his unpreparedness. Neither is the white South, as such, prepared for the franchise. In most of the southern states not twenty per cent of white voters vote. The southern primary system is the chief means of trouble between the races, by any means, within the primary, is elected in November. The Negroes are kept out of these primaries. The sentiment of the South is solidly against any other political party coming into or ruling ADDITIONAL LOCALS All persons in the city who have knowledge of illegal voting in ward 11 on election day, Nov. 8, 21, or residents of that ward whose ballots were not promptly deposited in the ballot-box or were opened and read, or who were not permitted to vote, or who were in any manner shown discourtesy, or who saw any irregularities at the polls on Nov. 8, 21, are requested to notify or come to The Gazette office, 'phone Cherry 1259, 215 Blackstone Bldg., S.

The committee reported, Monday evening, that Mrs. Drayton's household and things were set out on the sidewalk the day following the midnight of Frank's arrest, in the middle of the coffee act. In the middle of a fair seems a most contemptible proceeding. That is why Ward 111 Central Body is thoroly investigating it. The case of Mrs. Ambruster's son is very much like Frank Drayton's, and is being watched by the organization. Both cases seem to be persecution because the victims worked with Central Body, last fall, in the 11 committee. Of the Gazette's attention was first called to the Ambruster case when he was in Probate Court, last week Friday, on the Drayton case. He promptly invited Mr. Ambruster and his mother to attend Central Body meeting, Mon- THE FEDORA Lunch Room and Restaurant 3211 Scovill Ave. Good Home Cooking The best pies in the city Try Us! Jas.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe After Reading a Copy of It Our People Thruout Ohio Organizing To Promote The Candidacy of One of Their Number for the Republican Nomination—Determined to Force Recognition. A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the U. S. House of Four years ago. Frank B. Willis was nominated, by the Republicans of Ohio as their candidate for Governor, with a vote of 45,000. Two years ago, the editor of The Gazette, with but three weeks in which to stand as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, received 61,081 votes. Any one of the many Republicans seeking the nomination, this year, that receives 45,000 votes will be the nominee just as was true four years ago. The foregoing are facts well known. There are more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state. The leaders of our party seem determined to go on in the same old way, ignoring our people's right to representation on the state ticket. Therefore, it is up to us to get it in any honorable way we can and there is such a way. One-third of the total Afro-American vote of Ohio cast for a member of the race at the approaching primary election will make that person the Republican nominee for Governor. Can that many votes be secured by one of the race? Well, we received more than 50,000 of them, two years ago, and it can be done again. The only question is, do our people of Ohio want such representation at this time? If they do, let them continue to say so and the *writer* knows a MAN "game enough" to make the try, one who carries no one's "ring in his nose" and one in whom the Afro-American people of Ohio have confidence. They said so over 50,000 strong, two years ago. What do you think about it, reader? Ask your friends and acquaintances of color, particularly. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.—Ohio Afro-American Republicans are conducting meetings for the purpose of organizing to support one of their number for the Republican nomination for Governor, this fall. There are more than 125,000 Negro voters in the state, more than 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland. The fact that Harry C. Smith, for nearly 40 years editor and publisher of The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the Afro-American voters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohio Assembly from Cleveland, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State in the fall of 1920, naturally inclines his people to look to him as their choice for Governor. Mr. Smith has received many letters in the last ten days from men and women of his race in Cincin- natl, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Xenia, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Sandusky, Zanesville and smaller places, calling upon him to stand as a candidate. When asked what his intentions were, he replied that he would announce his decision later. Mr. Smith was recognized throughout the country during the two Harding campaigns for Ohio's indorsement—for the Republican nomination and for the Presidency—as the national Harding leader of his race. He also led those in the state with his paper, in the support they gave to the candidates of Frank B. Willis for the United States Senate and Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty for delegate-at-large to the last Republican National Convention. His ability as a campaign manager was particularly in Cleveland and northern Ohio. Editor Smith's feature-accomplishments, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of his people, are Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis PROBABLE Of Editor Harry C. Republican Leaders Alarm Seek the G PROBABLE CANDIDACY Republican Leaders Alarmed That Clevelander May Seek the Governorship. Unquestionably the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Cincinnati Enquirer are the two leading daily newspapers in the state of Ohio. That is why The Gazette has gone to considerable trouble and some expense to secure and publish, liberally, excerpts from them which treat of the matter of an Afro-American candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. Careful reading of these excerpts will show that what they and leading politicians of the state regarded lightly, ten days ago, has developed into something more than a 'joke' and is really a very serious matter for them, as they now freely admit. All this, particularly, after they had read The Gazette's leading editoria. Don't Thro It to a Frier Harry C. Smith. Representatives and now pending in the U. S. Senate—Cincinnati Enquirer. Sec. Harvey Smith's Old Wail! Sec. Harvey Smith's Old War Cleveland, O. April 3—Having reference to the statement from Columbus, published in The Enquirer, last Thursday, that "friends of Judge Harvey C. Smith, Secretary of the Republic, are responsible for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, "say they expect to ascertain what set of managers are responsible for the promotion" of Editor Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, Mr. Smith said to an Enquirer representative today that he and people only are responsible for his candidacy, as was proven to be the case two years ago in the State Supreme Court when he forced Secretary of State Smith, as State Supervisor of Elections, to place his name upon the primary ballots after he had ordered it to be left off of them. In further explanation of his probable candidacy, Editor Smith and the leading editorial in his paper, The Cleveland Gazette, of Saturday April 1, 1922: A Gubernatorial Candidate A Ohio Republican seems determined to continue (until near election day) ignoring the more than 25,000 Afro-American voters in this state, not even one seen think, even yet (in the face of their experience of two years ago), that our people are entitled to any other consideration except that which comes after they have nominated all their candidates (white) for the various offices being sought and "the colored brother" is needed to help elect them. Two years ago, the editor of The Gazette, with the backing of our people of this state, tried his best, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating us differently and, as a result, according to greater consideration and some recognition. Those 61,081 votes we received, two years ago, was a warning which, it seems, has not been taken seriously enough. Four years ago, the Hon. Frank B. Willis was nominated as the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, receiving but 45,000 votes, two years ago the Ohio Governor received 61,081 votes as a Republican candidate for Secretary of State; over 15,000 more votes than Mr. Willis received in 1918. Remember there are more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in Ohio and then draw your own conclusions. Since it is perfectly clear to all of our thoughtful that we must become active in our own behalf, at a proper time, and stop waiting on the "other fellow" to voluntarily give us what we have so long been entitled to and kept out of without any encouraging outlook, don't you think it about time for us to begin to try to help ourselves? Remember! the Lord helps those who helps themselves! We thought so, two years ago, and are still in the same "frame of mind." THINK! CANDIDACY Smith Now Feared! ed That Cleveland May overnorship. ination for Governor of Ohio. Careful reading of these excerpts will show that what they and leading politicians of the state regarded lightly, ten days ago, has developed into something more than a "joke" and is really a very serious matter for them, as they now freely admit. All this, particularly, after they had read The Gazette's leading editorial ow Away You nd or an Acq THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., APRIL 29, 1922. in our last issue. There are other reasons for this, too. It is more than the rule that the state primary and election immediately following a Presidential election show a woeful shrinkage in the vote of both parties. No one expects a large vote, this year. Indeed, the Republican outlook is anything but good and all know it whether they admit it or not. There is a large field of Republican candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor and whether the number usually be six or a dozen the one who secures the great honor, with the possible exception of the Afro-American candidate, will win with less than 45,000 votes, the number that renominated Gov. Frank B. Willis, four years ago. The Afro-American candidate, with over 125,000 votes of his own people and many friendly white Republican votes to draw from, ought easily to poll more than 45,000 votes in view of the fact that with only about three weeks, two years ago, in which campaign he polled 61,081 votes as a candidate for a lesser office, that of secretary of state of Ohio, and in a field of but three candidates. The larger the field of candidates, the easier it will be for our candidate to win the nomination. In the many weeks to come, before the day of the primary election, there is plenty of time for our candidate to reach every section of the state in person, thru the mails and otherwise, and make a thoro campaign. Something impossible two years ago. What say you "brothers and sisters," shall the battle be fought? WE THINK IT OUGHT TO BE but want to hear from more of you. Editor Smith's Entry Cause of Worry. By James W. Faulkner. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Columbus, O., Apr. 5—Congressman Knight's fight for the Republican nomination for Governor is a vehicle for attack on the party, according to "organization men," while Editor Harry C. Smith's entry is cause of more work, because imputation is part of the colored vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disguising of the concern caused by the announcement of Editor Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, relative to becoming the candidate of the 125,000 Negro voters of the state. Smith specifically repudiates the innuendo of the supporters of the Secretary of State, because that he proposed coming into the office merely to aid and abet the defeat of that state official. Big Vote Polled By Negro. In doing so Mr. Smith invites attention to the fact that the same charge was made against him two years ago, and that he was forced to appeal to the legal authorities (Ohio Supreme Court) in order to obtain a place upon the Republic伞. At that time he received 61,081 votes, or more than 15,000 more than the total vote cast for Willis in 1918, as candidate for renomination for the Governorship. Editor Smith says that "Ohio Republicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near election day) the more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state." Apparently they seem to think, he adds, that no consideration until after all the nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes acute. Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, he tried his best, through standing as a candidate for the secretaryship of state, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear, he continues, that the race must become active in its own behalf and that the state should voluntarily to give to it that to which it is entitled, and out of which it has been kept without any encouraging outlook. Aside from the expected attempt to "whistle" the Cleveland race leader "down the wind," it is known that there is much serious agitation over the prospect of his entrance. Not that it is thought that he will be nominated, is this concern being manifested, but because of the complications it will cause, especially in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Akron and Toledo. In Cincinnati it is taken for granted that the Republican organization will be able to deliver the Negro vote in more or less bulk fashion to the primary election ticket it selects, but elsewhere in Ohio, as in Greene County, Cleveland and in Lorain, this will be a problem for white leaders. Cincinnati Enquirer, By W. C. Howells (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer) Columbus, O., Apr. 7.—Not a few Republican leaders here are frankly alarmed over what appears to be the grave possibility that Harry C. Smith Cleveland, editor of The Gazette may enter the race for the governorship nomination. In addition to this tangle, further complications appeared today when John H. Arnold. Columbus, former lieutenant governor, told friends he would seek the Republican senatorial nomination. Against him, in all probability, will be Congressman Simeon D. Fess, Yellow Springs, and possibly Atty. Wm H. Boyd of Cleveland. The Publisher Smith gubernatorial candidacy is not taken seriously until receipt he editorial utterances in the Cleveland mail publication (The Gazette) which virtually promised, if assurances of support continued to be received, he would answer. "The only question is, do our people of Ohio want such representation (on the ticket) at this time," the statement declares. "If they do, let them continue to say so and the writer knows a man 'game enough to make the try.'—one who carries an Obama flag in his nose and one in whom the Afro-American people of Ohio have confidence. What do you think about it, reader? Ask your friends and acquaintances of color, particularly." The editorial says that hope of success for the Cleveland man's cause is far from beyond reason. It points out that four years ago Senator Frank B. Willis, receiving a total of 45,000 votes at the primary, was nominated; and that, two years ago, Editor Smith, then a candidate for the nomination of secretary of state, received (61,081 votes in a choice of three). At that time it was charged by political enemies in the race by political enemies of Harvey C. Smith, secretary of state, who were determined to defeat him by confusing the voters with names that were so similar. The secretary of state, charging "collusion and conspiracy," ordered the Cleveland man's name removed from the ballot, but in this he was overruled by the state supreme court. The present situation is now further complicated because the secretary of state again finds himself confronted with the possibility of having to make another fight—this time for the guber on the handicap. Carmine A. Thompson, Cleveland, and the secretary of state are regarded as the two leading contenders for the place at the head of the ticket, thus there may be three Cleveland men in the fight: Col. Thompson, Senator Arthur H. Day and Hon. Harry C. Smith. --- (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer) Columbus, B. O. April. 19—"We do not know that Judge Cleverenger of Wilmington will consent to become a candidate, but if he does, he ought to sweep this section of the state. "Northern Ohio, hogging the ring, has ceased to be a joke." The Negro issue again is called up prominently in the proposed candidacy of Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Cleveland editor and former State Representative, and his candidacy likewise has ceased to be a joke among Republicans. The Negro identity has shaken him. He is understood well that the African Americans have not been pleased with the American treatment of their kindred in Haiti and Santo Domingo. Still less do they relish the manner in which the white Republicans have traded on the solid bloc vote that they have de-livered year after year. Policy of 1920 Recalled. Moreover, the desertion of five of the six Negro candidates for the General Assembly by the Republican party in the 1920 election was a blow to their sense of justice that remains with them. For this reason the proposal of the Hon. Harry C. Smith to enter the race has led to more of a situation than appears upon the surface. Friends of Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith are more or less apprehensive as to what the presence on the ballot of another name like John C. to his chances. On the other hand, here are reports Judge Smith's backers are inclined to blame Colonel Thompson's friends for the entrance of the Negro, and threats of retaliation have been heard. WHY NOT A GOVERNOR? Brazil Has a President of Color- Dr. Lane Given "Segregated Work"—"Muzzle Not the Ox" Special to Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer, Columbus, O., April 10.—It developed today that an incident in connection with the appointment of Dr. J. Aubrey Lane, of Cincinnati, to be a state veterinarian, in charge of state institution herds, had tended to inflame the race issue in connection with the Republican primaries. The issue was called up when Ohio Afro-Americans demanded that former Representative Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, become a candidate for the Republican presidential candidate of the Gubernatorial. There his supporters have issued numerous denials of the charge that he was brought into the race to defeat the Secretary of State, Harvey C. Smith. Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith is a question of recognition. Plans to molly this by the appointment of Dr. Lane have been upset by the fact that his selection produced a crisis in the Veterinary Bureau of the Department of Agriculture. It was not passed until Director L. J. Tober gave "segregated work" to Dr. Lane. Other veterinarians are reported to have asserted that they would not work with him and resignations were threatened. His Barring Reported He is reported to have been barred from the branch of the bureau dealing with inspection of certified herds because the veterinary unit are entertained at the home of the dairymen whose herds are inspected, and from the State Serum Farm at Reynoldsburg. The place at state institutions was finally formed. As the story of the incident has leaked out. Ohio Afro-American Republicans have not been pleased by the treatment accorded to Dr. Lane. Muzzle Not the Ox. Editor Columbus Ohio State Journal: Several weeks ago your news columns carried a press dispatch from Cleveland which stated that Harry Clay Smith, editor of a newspaper, was considering the advisability of announcing himself as a candidate for governor of Ohio. The suggestion seemed so novel and surprising that the item was carried in a "box" on your first page under the caption of "Look Who Is Here!" Permit me to ask why an Afro-American should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or any other Republican state. The Republican party certainly owes everything to the Afro-American vote. It rode into power with the office it held. It has been criticized his neck since In the more than 40 years that I have been a close observer of political matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1920—when they could have won without the aid of the Afro-American vote and the same limitation applies to Ohio and many of the other Republican states which have been held in the Republican column year after year solely by this vote. The good book warns us "Muzzler not the ox that treadeth out the corn" and reminds us that "The laborer is worthy his hire," so why shouldn't that great party of "moral ideas" be willing to give the Afro-American his share of the "spoils?" Why not an Afro-American governor for Ohio and any other Republican state? Brazil has a colored man as President of that republic! In position to which he may aspire and which he has the ability to fill? Echo answers "Why not?" KORA F. BRIGGS. Columbus. April 13.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette, we print below the text of Hom. Hutchison, Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, 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, the reasons applicable alike to all citizen, the reasons applicable to any or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, 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 fifty dollars, or the person aggrieved thereby to the person served 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 that you cannot use it as often as they should, but you must them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outey for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Editor The Gazette Cleveland, Q My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Values in Business.
