St. Louis, Mo., June 25, 1922. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith: — I have learned with a deal of pleasure, that you have entered the race for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, and I wish you every success. It is certainly high-time for us, as a race, to let the world know that the only limit to our aspirations is our ability to acquire. Harry E. Davis, for材士es. We think soously speaking, for r (and his wife) are obeying his white "Boss" Maschke, in are. Wm. R. Green open, many weeks a himself opposed to (separate) Catholic ish for Cleveland. E. Davis, another to say anent it? He as usual. Speak up little courage once he you in favor of it or ing it, or not? The ness is what made practically a nonent The last two years have wrought a great change in the conditions surrounding us politically. We have been told by the President of the United States that there were too many of us in the Republican party. We have beheld our leaders deposed and recognition denied by the very men we helped vote into office. These have not been exceptional cases, but rather the rule. Politics is a game of give and take—mostly take, as it has been played. If the Afro-American wants anything political, he must take it! You ought to receive the vote of every right-minded Afro-American in Ohio, as well as that of thousands of fair-minded white men and women of the "Under-ground Railroad stripe", not because of race, but as a matter of MERIT and in the spirit which calls for a display of genuine Americanism. Yours truly, J. M. Batchman, Industrial Commissioner, 12th Congressional District. Obeying White Political Boss' Orders—Davis and Green. The following reminder was received by the editor of The Gazette, Monday morning of this week. It is a "hot" one. too: "Among the widely advertised 'boosters' for Carmi Thompson for Governor are found the names of Dudley S. Blossom (white) and MRS. Harry E. Davis. (See Cleveland News and Cleveland Press of June 19 and Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 20.) This should cause a lively (?) interest among Harry Clay Smith's Cuyahoga County friends in the candidacy of Dudley S. Blossom (white) and MR. --- --- Columbia Note the Notes ```markdown ``` SOME W. M. N.'s THE GAZETTE Harry E. Davis, for state representatives." We think so, too. But seriously speaking, for a moment: Harry (and his wife) are doubtless but obeying his white political master, "Boss" Maschke, in doing what they are. Wm. R. Green came out in the open, many weeks ago, and declared himself opposed to the new "Negro" (separate) Catholic church and parish for Cleveland. What has Harry E. Davis, another "Negro" Catholic, to say anent it? He has been "mum," as usual. Speak up, Harry; show a little courage once in your life. Are you in favor of it or are you attending it, or not? That "Boss" "business is what made Harry E. Davis practically a nonentity, as far as racial results were and are concerned, in the last Ohio Assembly. Turning against our peoples' gubernatorial candidacy isn't going to help your political fortunes now or at any time in the future, Harry. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Geo. T.

Our Industrial Commission of Missouri is drafting an anti-lynching bill for introduction in their next legislature. A wise and proper move. Alton A. Adams, of the Virgin Islands, is our only band-master in the U. S. Navy. When this country took over the Danish West Indies, he was leader of a boys' band which was taken into the service to furnish music at the naval station at St. Thomas, V. I. He spent the first week of this month in this country. Alto Branch, of Savannah, Ga., an expert pen-knife carver, presented President Harding with a beautiful oane which was ornamented with wonderfully perfect carvings, emblematic of the Shriners. His splendid work secured him the first prize in Cleveland, O., several months ago. Mr. Branch has carved walking canes for John D. Rockefeller and other prominent men. Missouri has ten Afro-American candidates for state and city offices, from member of the legislature to justice of the peace and constable.

It was a paternity case brought by Clara Patterson against Charles Gates, both of Middentown. White attorneys represented them. DAYTON.—During this month a survey of our people of this city is to be taken under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Federation of Social Service and West Stice Nursery. The survey is being taken with a view of ascertaining the facts as to the condition of our people. The results are anticipated with real interest. CADIZ.—A recital will be given at Simpson M.

At 11 o'clock the pastor preached a strong sermon. At 7 p. m., B. Y. P. U. rendered an excellent program, led by Gladys Toll last year, and where their property was destroyed, have petitioned the Governor of Oklahoma for permission to vote on a proposition to incorporate that section into a new city to be known as Norris City. The average upper class of our people like to see a member of their race succeed up to a certain point and then when he reaches that point they are ready to pull him down to the ground-level. — Richmond (Va.) Planet. Those Three Women Killed! Bowling Green, Ky. June 12. Reports of the killing of three white women, two of them with blackened faces and dressed as men, reached here from a point in Clay County, Tennessee, last week. First reports were very meager and names were not given. The place where the killings happened is a wild isolated cemetery in here and thirty miles from the nearest railroad. Only a few farmers inhabit many square miles of this section. A few days ago, one of the farmers sold his property for $1,800 cash. A big fox, hunt was put on two days following by neighbors, who urged him to go along. The scared informant did not give names of the parties concerned. President Harding has thus far run no chance of having writer's cramps by signing his name to appointments of Negroes in the foreign and domestic service. Thus far he has signed but three commission, I believe, those of Robert H. Terrel of Washington. D. C.; Dr. Solomon Porter Hood of New Jersey, and a Mr. Free, of West Virginia. Five, have been commissioned by Cabinet members. They are: Messrs. Flipper of Arizona, Howard of Mississippi, Brown of Kentucky, Scarborough of Ohio, and Crossland of Missouri. I should not overlook it or three little postmasterships. It is the smallest official pickings, we have received since President Grant gave us the largest number and President Roosevelt the highest in official standing. ver. Mrs. W. L.

Burr urged his congregation to vote for our nominee for Governor. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, at the primary in August, and to get their friends of both races to do likewise. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. * Harry Clay Smith, an Afro-American, has filed his declaration as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. In a statement relative to his candidacy, Mr. Smith says: "Ohio Republicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near election day) the more than 200,000 Afro-American voters in this state. Apparently they seem to think that the Afro-American is entitled to no consideration until after all the nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes acute." The above statement by Mr. Smith is quite true as to conditions in other states. And from all indications two years from now, it will be a common thing to see Afro-American candidates for high offices in nearly all the states, as a protest against just such treatment as Mr. Smith mentions in his statement. We congratulate the Hon. Harry Clay Smith upon our Ohio people's effort to make him the chief executive of the "Buckeye State." We hope he will receive the nomination and election.—St. Louis (Mo.) Argus, J. E. Mitchell, editor. A class of fourteen received the thirty-third degree at a confirmation service of Free Masons, last week Wednesday evening, in Tried-stone Baptist church. The service was part of the twenty-sixth biennial session of the council, attended by delegates from different parts of the country. Officers were elected, last week Thursday. Delegates were attending a simultaneous convention of Daughters of Sphinx, whose program included the installation of officers of Ohio lodge of the Eastern Star. The parade, Sunday afternoon, was very creditable, indeed. PRESIDENT R. S. WILKINSON Honored by Oberlin College—Only One Graduate, This Year—Outlook Better for Next Year. Oberlin, O.—Among the honorary degrees conferred by Oberlin college at its recent commencement, June 21, was that of master of arts upon Prof. R. S. Wilkinson, president of our State college at Orangeburg, S. C. President, Wilkinson is an alumnus of Oberlin college, class of 1891. During his residence here, he was a correspondent of The Gazette and worked several summers in Cleve- Pres. R. S. Wilkinson. land as a member of its office staff. President Wilkinson was, the only member of the race to be thus honored by the college, this year. During the commencement season he was a special guest of the institution, on account of which fact many distinguishting courtesies were shown him by the administration. He was given a prominent place at every college function and received a generous ovation from the immense audience in attendance upon the commencement exercises and when he was called forward by President King, who in behalf of the faculty and trustees of the college, conferred the degree in recognition of a distinguished record of services as an educator, executive and worthy alumnus of Oberlin. A large number of our people attended the commencement, among whom were many from distant states, a valuable group also from Cleveland and other places in the state. One young man of the race was a member of this year's graduating class—Frederick M. Sheffield, of Ellicottville, N. Y., receiving the A. B. degree. Next year's class contains seven of our young women who, in all probability, will complete their work with credit to themselves and the race. President Wilkinson stopped in Cleveland en route to and from Oberlin. While there he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Smith of E. 86th St., and dined with the editor of "The Old-Rellable," who regards him as one of the most distinguished alumni of The Gazette in which Prof. Wilkinson continues to manifest sincere pride and interest. President Wilkinson left Cleveland for the South. Saturday night, by way of New York—on a short visit to relatives. Our people are looking forward to Hon. Harry Clay Smith's coming to speak. Monday evening. A great crowd will greet him. KILLS HARVARD "RACE LINE." University Head Declares College Can Render Indispensible Service In Nationalization. Cambridge, Mass.—American colleges can render an indispensable service in blending the different racial groups that pour into the country, said President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard university in an address at the alumni exercises at the Harvard commencement, June 22, 1922. "To leave out of sight the interests of any group whatever, to fail to consult members of that group about its interests, would be wrong," he said. "To shut the eyes to an actual problem of this kind and ignore its existence or to refuse to grapple with it courageously would be unworthy of a university." His remarks were interpreted by the alumni as referring to recent reports that Harvard planned discrimination against the Jews and barred Afro-Americans from freshmen dormitories. Paul L.

Mass Meetings Being Arranged—Words of Encouragement and Contributions to Campaign Fund Our People Wide Awake! Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Gazette, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, will formally open his speaking campaign with three addresses, Monday afternoon and evening, July 3. '22. He will speak in Wellington at 6:30 p. m., in Oberlin Park at 7:30 p. m. and at one of our churches there at 8:30 p. m. Mr. Smith intends to make a thorough canvass for the nomination and will tour the state during this month, working out of Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. His addresses will be delivered as a rule under the auspices of "Harry Clay Smith for Governor Clubs," which have been and are being organized in many parts of the state. The club in Cleveland was the first in the field. Then followed those at Hillsboro, Barberton, Cincinnati and a number of other Ohio cities and towns. Akron, organized one, with 50 members to start with, on Monday evening, with Amos H. Forman, editor of the Akron Informer, as president. Since the Cleveland Call was so enthusiastic, several weeks ago, in urging the editor of The Gazette to enter the race, there are those who are waiting to hear something from its editor and to learn of a good fat contribution from its owner to the campaign fund for our candidate. ANOTHER HARRY CLAY SMITH FOR GOVERNOR CLUB Akron, O., June 26th. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Blackstone Building. Cleveland, O. Dear Sir;—We wish you to know that we in Akron are not sitting supinely by while "the mills of the Gods are grinding," but ever since the occasion of your address in our city sentiment has been crystallizing, as it is in so many parts of the state, for the active support of your candidacy for the republican nomination for governor, by our people. It is not enough that men and women of our race commend your effort and express a hope that you may be successful. It is necessary that active support be in evidence. To that end a Harry Clay Smith for Governor club was organized on Monday evening, June 26th, in the Young Men's Progressive club's hall. 59. E. Exchange St., with an initial membership of thirty-one. The organization was effected amid a demonstration of great enthusiasm. The officers elected are: Amos H. F. Forman, pres.; Carey Cook, vice-pres.; James T. Bell, see; Rev. A. E. Allen, treas. Meetings will be held regularly, every week and every effort put forth to make possible a successful conclusion of this campaign. Wishing you every possible good in this matter and praying God's blessings upon you, I remain, as ever. Your old friend, Rev. A. E. Allen, Pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church. CONTRIBUTES TEN DOLLARS!

The other eight candidates (white) for the Republican nomination for Governor know this. If we can only make our people see it as they do, we will surely win. And what a great, glorious and GRAND victory that alone (the nomination) will be. Once you are nominated, the great Republican party of the State of Ohio will never turn over to the Democrats the control of this state simply because an Afro-American is the candidate—a man, too, who has served the party faithfully for nearly forty years, has served six years in the Ohio Legislature, and four years as a Deputy State Oil Inspector under our great and good friend, the saithed Joseph Benson Foraker, U. S. Senator from Ohio. Ohio Afro-Americans know too well who has stood to the forefront for their tall their tribes and tribulations for nearly forty years in season and out, sick or well, and all ways on the firing line for his people. They know, too, who introduced and secured the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Anti-Lynching law for their protection particularly, and will act accordingly with great enthusiasm, at the primaries in August. Therefore, I confidently look forward to your successful nomination and election as Governor of the grand old state of Ohio. With best wishes, I am Your long-time friend. S. I. Dorsey. "RAH!

Our Lincoln Republican club of New Jersey has selected Rev. Wm. S. Smith as our candidate for U. S. Senator, and we have just about the same number of votes in Jersey that our people have in Ohio. So I hope when the fall election is over that you and I both will be able to say that, our candidates have won, with the honor in your state falling to yourself. You will find enclosed P.

CONTRIBUTES FIVE DOLLARS Another White Friend of the Race Shows Material Interest in Our Gubernatorial Candidacy—Let All Help. Madison, N. J., June 26, 22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—In a recent issue of the Gazette, I saw that one friend had given five dollars, as an earnest of his good will toward your campa- gnment expenses. I too deemed "a dollar" too little as a "first aid" to the enterprise, but did not wish to get the standard so high that too would want to contribute. A dollar is a popular contribution—and any thing worth one hundred cents to the dollar is credited at a fair "full value received." Therefore please find enclosed P. O. money order for five dollar—my contribution to your expenses in your gubernatorial campaign. I am backing my PRAYERS with cash and have made an effort to interest others in your behalf. I cannot promise success, but am hopeful. Wishing you every blessing, in God's name, I remain. Sincerely yours. (Hew) Geo Wilson Brent P. S.—Please acknowledge receipt there may be more to follow!!

Duval Colley, a leading member of the race of that city, that the Republican organization of Cincinnati (Hamilton County), has refused to indorse an Afro-American as a candidate for the legislature, with the result that our people of that city and county are apparently greatly angered. There is only one thing for them to do as far as this particular matter is concerned, and they know what it is. Therefore, it is not necessary for any one to tell them. If any other class or group of Republicans were treated the same way there wouldn't be any question as to what they would do and there ought not to be any question as to what our voters (en masse) there will do. AN EDITOR ASSAULTED. Editor Wm. Warley of the Louisville (Ky.) News was brutally assaulted, cursed and called very objectable names in his office, recently, by one J. H. Scales (white), a Republican boss of that city, whom it is said, filled himself fairly well with "moonshine" before attempting the dirty deed. Of course our people of that city realize that Scales' criminal act was not merely a personal assault but one premeditatively made against their freedom of speech and action and that it is up to them and Editor Warley to resent it in the most effective way possible. It is all very nice, of course, for us to say what we would do under similar circumstances. As a matter of fact, we might or might not do what we say we would do. Nevertheless, we fear that if we had been in Editor Warley's place, that either Scales or ourselves would have been dead at the conclusion of the melee. JACKSON-FLEMING. A COMPARISON. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Alderman R. R. Jackson of Chicago for a copy of his ordinance unanimously passed by the Chicago Council, June 21, '22, which bars all such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan. He writes us that there was not a dissenting vote among the twenty-two Republican and forty-six Democratic members of the council present at that meeting. This is a wonderful showing, even better than that made when he passed his other ordinance, some weeks ago, preventing discrimination in the moving- (Cut this out.)

All contributions will be published in The Gazette unless otherwise ordered by the contributor. picture shows of Chicago and prohibiting the showing of pictures and subtitles harmful or insulting, etc., to any race or class of citizens. Major Jackson is a REAL councilman, serving his second term. Our people of Cleveland have, for six or more years, been represented (?) in the local City Council by "Councilman" Thomas W. Fleming, who has to his credit absolutely nothing of special material benefit to the race in this community and, if memory serves us correctly, has never even TRIED to do anything. And Cleveland needs local legislation, like Alderman Jackson's measures referred to in the foregoing, almost if not quite as much as Chicago. In plain words, Tom Fleming's membership in the Cleveland City Council for six or more years has been one great big JOKE, as far as our people are concerned. That they have suffered this infliction so long, with only here and there a word of personal complaint is the sixth, seventh or eight wonder of the world—we are not sure which. Senator McCormick ought not to feel proud of his U. S. Senate "Haitian" committee report just submitted to the upper branch of the Congress. It says our record in that little island republic is one of "failure and achievement." Yes, achievement, in the main, that is infinitely worse, as far as the Haitians are concerned, than its failure. HARRY CLAY SMITH FOR GOVERNOR On the 8th day of August of this year we colored voters of this great state will have the honor of voting for a candidate for governor who is of our own race. Hon. Harry Clay Smith can be nominated by his own people, and no doubt he will be. His qualifications are unquestionable. His former service as an elective public official is unquestionable, and no one will doubt the fact that there are enough colored votes alone to nominate him. And no real race man or woman would dare to cast his own vote. Therefore, Mr. Smith will be nominated for governor at the August primaries. It is a safe prediction to say the candidate who receives 65,000 votes will be nominated. There is a total of 136,940 male colored voters in this state. Mr. Smith can get over with one-half of this amount. Mr. Smith was not put in the gubernatorial race by any political machine; he is simply a Republican, and he is not any faction. He has no "ring in his nose." Neither is he under the leadership of any nine candidates in the years that Clay Smith received. 4,081 votes for secretary of state. With nine candidates in the field for governor this year, it is plain as day that Mr. Smith will be nominated. He is a man who has his race's interests at heart and is qualified to hold any public position. The colored vote would have been thrown to one or two white candidates if Mr. Smith had not entered, but no white man could expect the support of the colored voters when one of their own race in the field for the same office in C. I. Knight would have received the full vote in this section, if Mr. Smith had not become a candidate, and in case Mr. Knight wins out he will have the undivided support of the colored people on election day. But Mr. Knight does not expect the colored voters to support him at the August primaries with Mr. Smith in the race.—Akron (O.) Informer. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Dr. A. M.

Taylor, local correspondent of the Chicago Defender, by Hon. Harry Clay Smith: "My attention has just been called to a publication in your 'Defender' news of two weeks ago, which is not only wrong but does both me and my candidacy, as well as Ward 11 Central Body, an injustice. I am sure you will be glad to undo, as far as it is possible, any harm you may have done by said publication. In the first place, I am not an 'independent Republican candidate for Governor, according to the report of the Election Board', but a regular candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor just as are the other eight candidates (white). For your information I would say that there can be no 'independent Republican candidates for Governor', at this time. All such candidates can only get into the race after the primaries in August. As we are not a 'independent' candidates, either Republican or Democratic, before the primaries when only regular members of the two parties are permitted to stand for the nominations. Secondly: My candidacy is not only 'backed' by Ward 11 Central Body, but is 'backed' by thousands of members of the race and many of our organizations throughout the state of Ohio, large numbers of whom have written to me and called on me in recent months, urging that I stand as a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial election, of these persons are residents of Cleveland. Of course you know the candidacy is something the masses of our people throughout the state have greatly desired for a long time for reasons you are undoubtedly familiar with. Trusting that you will see that proper corrections are made in your next letter, I am sincerely, etc." Wilberforce Graduates Nearly 200.

Dr. Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS Harry Wills Buys Home New York City—Harry Wills, "The Silent," has recently shown the public that he is a firm believer in the old adage that it is good "to make hay while the sun shines. A few years ago he bought himself a home here in "Harlem" which is further proof that while Harry and his mulatto wife are happy, and possibly were so in his "long shore" days, he isn't going to continue to be the victim of rats which infest "Harlem" and are libels on the term, landlord. Hands Dempsey Ultimatum. New York City—Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, has ten more days to formally accept the challenge of Harry Wills, for a bout for the title, or have his crown put up for competition in this state. This decision was reached by New York's boxing commission, June 23, '22, as a part of the campaign started earlier in the week to force title holders in every division to meet capable contenders or quit and start all over again. Two champions, Johnny Killbane of the featherweights, and Johnny Wilson of the middleweights have been shorn of their crowns so far as the "Empire State" is concerned. Good! Dempsey-Wills Rout Agreed On Dempsey-Wills Bout Agreed On. New York City—Tex Rickard will promote a bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills for the world's heavyweight championship. Such was the outcome of a three-hour conference at Madison Square Garden, last week Thursday afternoon, between Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, Dan McKettrick, Kearns' eastern representative; Rickard and Frank Flournoy, the matchmaker of the Garden. It was to get Kearns' views on the matter that Rickard infused with the challenge. The champion seemed very confident and told Rickard that if the latter was willing to promote the bout he could go ahead and make the necessary arrangements. Time and place are still to be decided upon. The only stipulation Kearns made was that Rickard must secure the assurance from the authorities wherever he proposed staging the bout that there would be no interference. According to the promoter and the manager terms were not discussed. Kearns stated Dempsey would be ready to fight at any time and at any place. Good! The Buffalo Team a "Joke." An aggregation wearing baseball uniforms with the insignia "Buffalo Stars" on the shirts invaded the city, the first of the week, to play the Tate Stars three games. The first Saturday, was merely a practice session for the locals. Score 14 to 3. Johnson starred at bat with a single and two three-ply wallpops. Ricks smacked one for the circuit and Barnes and McClain made two basers. Sunday's farce, resulted 6 to 1, in favor of the local team. Boyd made a two-base hit and Johnston, Johnson, Barnes, McClain and Bonner, three-base hits. Monday, same "old story" - 5 to 1 in favor the Tates. Two-base hit, Johnson and Taylor. Three-base hit, Johnston. The fielding feature of the game brought it to a close in the ninth. Wilson of the "Buffaloes" singled with one out and Ewing sent a liner toward left-center that Johnson speared with one hand and with a throw to Bonner doubled Wilson who had reached second. Thus endeth the massacre of "Bison." Jackson-Johnson Fight at Hamilton. Columbus, O. June 28 — The Jackson- Johnson heavyweight battle will be held in Hamilton on July 4. The Hamilton boxing commission, the mayor and other authorities late today agreed that the fight should be held, and the contract was signed. Arrangements for the affair were made by the Lennox Athletic club and the American Legion ball park, with a seating capacity of 12,000, obtained for the day. Johnson, who has maintained a camp west of this city, tonight was preparing to leave for Hamilton to continue his training there. Tickets purchased when it was planned to stage the fight at Washington C. H., will be accepted at Hamilton. No Jackson-Johnson Fight. No Jackson-Johnson Fight. Washington C. H — Tut Jackson. A was ordered, Monday, from Judge A. Reid, a defense attorney in engaging in a prize fight here, contemplated with Jack Johnson, for July 4." Jackson was placed under bond to obey the court's order. Promoters have been working for months on the bout and a new arena is nearly finished. Judge Reid held that "any boxing bout, sparring match or game of fistcuffs" engaged in, except by permission of the mayor or sheriff, and given to a regularly organized athletic club or gymnasium, or a contest among its members, where compensation or prizes are not awarded. "Is illegal under Ohio laws and constitutes a felony," the sheriff said, "we expected to extract at least 25,000 persons. Johnson opened training quarters near Columbus and Jackson was doing his training here. A few weeks ago the sheriff of Fayette county refused to arrest Jackson. Later he was arrested by Constable J. D. Dawson of Paint township on his own initiative. Judge Reid based his decision, he said, on Sections 12800, 12802 and 12803 of the Ohio code. Jackson has had a wonderful career as a fighter, remarkable for the many knockouts he scored and the manager of Tut Jackson (whether it was doubtful if the bout ever will be held.

Our People Thruout Ohio Organizing To Promote The Candidacy of One of Their Number for the Republican Nomination—Determined to COLUMBUS, O., June 18—Harry Clay Smith, Cleveland editor and publisher, this afternoon filed his declaration as a candidate for governor. Two years ago Smith was a candidate against Judge Harvey C. Smith, who was running for re-elec Harry Clay Smith tion to the secretary of state's of fice. Judge Smith, returning from Mans field tonight, said: "I was not surprised when Harry Clay Smith was entered against me. Two years ago, when I was a candidate for secretary of state, he was put in against me in hope that voters would be confused by the similarity of our names. "Undoubtedly Mr. Harry Clay Smith received many votes that were tainted." But the trick failed. I was re-nominated—Cleveland, (Ohio) Plain Dealer, June 9, 1922 Relative to the foregoing, we desire to say that there is absolutely no truth in the charge made two years ago by Secretary Harvey C. Smith and reiterated in the excerpt published above. In the "hearing," held two years ago in the office of the Secretary of State who is also State Supervisor of Elections (Harvey C. Smith), we proved beyond all question or doubt that Harry Clay Smith, then a candidate for the Republican nomination for Speech retrial of State against Secretary Harvey C. Smith and Ex-Secretary State Charles Q. Hildebrandt, was NOT "entered against" anyone, but had entered the race of his own free will, paid his own expenses, and had entered without the knowledge of any white man on the face of the earth. Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, who is one of the EIGHT white candidates for the Governor, knows that is true but a political motive in his belief. It is simply an offer on his part to play upon the extent of gaining their votes at the primaries in August. As we said under oath when on the witness stand in his office, two years ago, we say now—no one "entered" us in the race at that time and no one has "put" us in the race, this time, but ourselves. As was true two years ago, so it is this time—no white person had at that time and at this time whatever to do with the writer's decision to enter the contest. Two years ago, Secretary Smith and his friends tried in every way they could to link the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, now U. S. Attorney General, and Senator, now President Harding, with our candidacy. They failed because neither of the gentleman named nor any other white man had anything whatever to do, directly or indirectly, with our entering the race at that time. Now, Secretary Smith is trying to repeat, and since he is only a founder of his family wall and insulting institutions and charge than there was two years ago, he is bound to fall again. It doesn't seem to occur to him that voters other than his supporters could "be confused by the similarity of our names." That is a thing just as broad as it is long when one remembers that there are over 150,000 remen and women voters of color in Ohio now. There was no attempt to play any "trick" then, and it is none now. He received many votes that were needed for the writer. Yes, Secretary of State Smith was renominated, two years ago, but will not be successful at the primaries in August next. The great majority of Republican voters in Ohio apparently agree that there shall be no danger of his becoming the next Republican candidate for governor of this state. Indeed, they feel reasonably sure that no such calamity really threatens the party. They know that the official with the exocert printed herself shows him to be is not fit to become the standard-bearer of Ohio Republicans, this fall or any other. Afro-Americans alone are responsible for our candidacy for the Republican nomination of governor. We are from parts of the state, has come the call and insistent demand that we stand as a candidate. During that time we canvassed the situation carefully, considered thoroly all phases of the matter and finally decided to accede to the wishes of the great majority of our people and enter the race. It is our candidacy, pure and simple, and with the assistance of friendly white voters, thousands of whom stood with us two years ago and will help us again, there is no good reason why we should not be victorious at the primaries in August. We will vote more than will be necessary to triumphantly nominate the writer and bring the coveted victory to Afro-Americans of Ohio and the country. It will be the greatest political victory we as a race have ever had at the polls in this country and we are not over-looking the success of individual members of the race in the south during the days of Reconstruction. As many know that we can do "we never know what we can do we try." Come now, Ohio Afro-Americans must together in one solid phalanx in this country continuously, individually, from now until the August primaries and let us see what we can do. Surely, we can materially increase the 61,038 votes the writer received, two years ago, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio. If we do this, no power except that of Dylive Providence can keep us from the victory we seek. "Negroes" who are wearing white men's political "rings in their noses" must be made to "see the light, and the assistance of our white friends must be sought assiduously. They are determined to be the next Republican nominal nominee in Ohio and will do everything, honest and honorable, in his power to accomplish this end. Harry Clay Smith. 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 capitation 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 on his back before the civil war and has been astirde his neck ever 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 in 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 "Muzzle 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 Republic man as President of that republic Why not an Afro-American in any position to which he may aspire and which he has the ability to fill Echo answers "Why not?" KORA F, BRIGGS. Columbus, April 13. 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 we can! 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, in a contest of this kind—lay aside all feelings and do their full duty in protecting the rights of a race-loving and respecting people, and if only one-third of the 25,000 women in the 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 GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., JULY 1, 1922 SEC. HARVEY SMITH'S "DOLLAR DRIVE." Voluntary Workers Form An Organization to Secure Campaign Contributions Throughout COLUMBUS, O., May 16.—A three-week campaign is to begin tomorrow to raise funds with which to assist Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith (white) in his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. This announcement was made tonight by friends of the candidate. One dollar contributions will be sought, each donor to receive a celluloid button bearing the likeness of Judge Smith and the words: "For governor, Harvey C. Smith, my choice." Voluntary contributions throughout the state have formed an organization to obtain the contributions. Maurice Langan, former Columbus hotel man and former president of the Columbus Charity Newsies, is in charge of the dollar drive. --- Two years ago, our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State made Harvey C. Smith, then as now holding that position, do something he had steadfastly refused to do for about two years preceding that time, and that is appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in his office. His predecessor, Secretary C. Q. Hildebrandt, had also refused us, for his two-year term of office, the recognition every Ohio Republican Secretary of State except them had freely given for more than thirty years of our refusal this line, that prompted the writer to stand as a candidate against them, for both of them were "in the field," too, two years ago. We so announced to the press of Columbus, the day we registered there, but the daily newspapers of the state capital refused to publish our statement. "The Old Reliable" Gazette did publish it, however, and repeatedly. Now then, we have been reliably informed that we have Secretary C. Smith shaved his unforeheadliness toward our race when a Probate Judge at Zanesville, this state, long before moving to Columbus. One thing sure, it is going to be mighty difficult for any loyal, intelligent and honorable member of the race to vote for him for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, or any other when he or she is put in possession of the foregoing information. Tell it, "brother and sister"; TELL IT OHIO STIRRED UP Over the Probable Candidacy for Governor of the Editor of "The Gazette"—Great Thing for Our People Detroit, Mich., May 9, 1922. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Blackstone Bldg.. Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Harry:—You surely have Ohio finally stirred up over your candidate for governor, and I believe it is the best move ever inaugurated among our people for political power. You have made good and you are capable of holding any position within the gift of the people and should stand out boldly in favor of acquiring office, and not be afraid to go to bat with any and all opponents with the intent to alter means of attaining candidacy for the various political positions. Nothing that has happened within recent years has done more to enhance the respect other people have for our race than the dignified and determined effort to run for high office. Atty. Ashlee Hawkins for Senator in Maryland, Editor John Mitchell for Governor in Virginia, and now the Hon. Harry C. Smith for Governor in Ohio, is putting a palatable taste in the mouths of the people of our race and will stir them politically nothin' but the people has done well as inciteulate pride for their own, for with races it is much the same as it is with individuals—no one is apt to hold a higher opinion of us than we hold of ourselves—and the political movement to run for office is a move made in the right direction which I hope will be maintained though it may be a long time before we reach the goal. The day surely will come when many white people will come to "the colored brother" who promises to deliver the goods that they have so long and patiently offered, only to another, the same as the colored people have continually been fooled into believing that any one party, no matter how badly mismanaged, was their best friend. Yours sincerely. An Endorsement An Endorsement. Hillsboro, O., May 30, 1922. Hon. H. C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.

Toledo, O., June 19th, '22 Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Ronald Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of a copy of the Gazette informing me that you are a candidate be- fore the August State Primary, for the Republican nomination for Gov- nor. I am with you as you will see from the Church Bulletin here in enclosed. I print from three to four hundred, each week, and dis- tribute to my congregation, each Sunday morning, free. I am going to meet you with the Primary closes in August, 1922. May God prosper you P. S.—I leave for New York Tuesday, the 20th, to be gone two weeks. We Can Nominate and Elect, Too! Our own Hon, Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, who polled 61,081 votes in his race for Secretary of State in the last election, is out for Governor. Now, is our chance to show our white benefactors that we can imitate their virtues as well as their vices, by pulling off our coats, rolling up our sleeves, pitching in and supporting one of our own just as they do. Well, says one: "What's the use; we can't elect him." We may not, but we can try. I speak for 500 members of Warren A. M. E. Church who will EVER FROM THIS DAY FORWARD VOTE FOR THEIR OWN WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Primary in AUGUST—Warren A. M. E. Church Bulletin, Toledo, O. June 25 '22. Rev. P. A. Nichols, pastor. W. M. N.'S. When you find a "Negro" trying to "pour cold water" on our Ohio gubernatorial nomination candidacy recall and remember the "Negro" with "a white man's political ring in his nose" and possibly some of that same white man's money in his pocket. They, such "Negroes," and they are not numerous, thank the Lord, have ever been the bane of the race. Some times these "Negroes" pose as ministers of the gospel, strange to say. They, all, are traitors to the race. Black-list them, ostracise them, make them know they are persona non grata, as far as the loyal members of the race are concerned. They are W. N. Negroes, who have this race of ours has had in the past fifty years and more, has been made with just this same handicap astride its shoulders. So it is nothing new. In the matter of our candidacy, this year (and two years ago), the W. M. N. invariably approaches one with the "bunk," "it will make enemies for the race," "it is not time to do so and so," "a colored man (speaking of one of their own race, too) has no chance," and a dozen and one other like fool expressions. Do not pay any attention to them but treat them as suggested in the foregoing, for they are traitors, much worse than the white political masters they serve for money, promises of positions which they have get, and they play forgive them, and MAKE them think, talk and act differently—"for the good and welfare of the race." Beware of the W. M. N.! If we had listened to them, in the past, and made no effort, as they wished, where would we, as a race, be now, or if we pay attention to their dangerous fool talk now and do not make the best effort we can to help ourselves in everything, what progress will the race make in the present and future? We have waited long and patiently on their white political masters to do for us what we were and are clearly entitled to, the result of our worse off today from almost every viewpoint, than we were twenty-five years ago. Tell the W. M. N. to throw away their white gods and serve the only God and their race, and let us act all the more vigorously on our own thought and initiative. We CAN win, and, too, without the W. M. N.'s (white men's Negroes). "NEGRO EDITOR SUBMITS PETITION" BY JAMES W. FRAUNHEIM COLUMBUS, O., June 18.—When Editor Smith appeared today he caused woe throughout. All circles. His declaration was refused by Chief Statistician Johnson because it was signed "Harry C. Smith," the refusal being based upon the close similarity to the name of the Secretary of State, whose declaration had been filed but a short time before. The editor finally changed the signature as Johnson requested, but under protest, and made it "Harry Clay Smith." The certificate was attested by five members of his race living in Cleveland. Political diviners declared the filing meant that Gov. L. Davis was out of the running and that the editor was being entered to take the edge of the Secretary's alleged advantage. Mr. Smith, however, insisted that he was standing as an object lesson to Republican leaders and as a reminder of the unrewarded loyalty of Colored Republicans of the state—Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer, June 9, 22. Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith is the person responsible for the arbitrary ruling, referred to in the foregoing, which his chief statistician, Mr. Johnson, carried into effect two years ago and again on June 8th, 1922. His position as state supervisor of elections makes this possible and he has twice taken advantage of it. There is no good reason why Harry C. Smith should spell out his middle name and Harvey C. Smith should not do so, also. And yet, both two years ago and on June 8th, 1922, said Harvey C. Smith issued a spell out his middle name, offering as his excuse that he had none but simply used the capital letter C as his middle initial. This of course is amusing, to say the least. Again, we want to stamp as a wilful falsehood the statement that we were "entered" by any one, either two years ago or on June 8th, 1922, and to say that our people only were and are responsible for our candidacies, two years ago and at this time. "Awa," the party is always created when the race, or a member of it, acts independently of the political domination of party-leaders particularly, and others. They do not seem to realize that this is a new era and that our people have stopped begging and have determined to force, in one way or another, to change theican party's leader, they are clearly entitled to and have been kept out of for so many years. WILL BE ELECTED IF NOMINATED. The nominee of the Republican party in this state will be the next governor of Ohio. That is quite assured in advance, whatever choice the voters may make at the primary election.—BenJ. Karr in The Cleveland Daily News. The foregoing, written by one of the best known and ablest daily newspaper writers in the country, is a fact well known to every leading politician and many others in the state. And yet, you will find even "Negroes" in Ohio, a few of them, who say and affect to believe otherwise. They are to be pitted because they are the victims of a long-standing, white political rule and domination that has made them lose all confidence in themselves and their own. The great mass of our people in Ohio are not going to be influenced by such W. M. N.'s, this year, because they realize that there are EIGHT white candidates in the field and that we have a large man and woman vote (nearly 200,000) in this state, which afford us the best opportunity we have ever had, may ever have again, to nominate one of ours to the Republic's candidate for Governor, this fall. If less than half, and more than a third, of our men and women voters, with the white vote we are sure to receive, cast their ballots for Harry Clay Smith they will surely nominate him. And if nominated, as Mr. Karr well says, he will be the next Governor of Ohio. 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 obdurate 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 coerced like his own: 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. —Cowper. 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, "Nope, are not worthy of 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 in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue, submit is to deserve contempt — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder-The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading Mobs Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "jynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a p. person dying from injuries received from lynching by & mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum may be applied to the maintenance of the faction and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (v. 916 628. Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or of a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgement and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispuse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall therefore believe a person concerned in such case to prosecution for homicide or assault to engage therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the doctor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenience, or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not more than fifty dollars nor more than five dollars imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered, and in jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the冉 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, O. 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 the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard K. deceased in Akron, last fall, in which 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education in all phases of education. I believe in the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent. Dr. R. R. Moton. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinching face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning.
