It is said that recently in Oklahoma many cases of killing and murder have occurred between white men because of their seducing each other's wives. Clearly it is seen that Tulsa's chief of police feels that "hell-horses" knew too much of the inside rattonness of white society in Tulsa and that fact largely destroys the assumed superiority and alleged superior morality of Tulsa white people. The peculiar thing about this is, no attempts are being made to remedy this moral decadence in the hotels of Tulsa but steps are being taken to keep our people from knowing it. The chief need not be alarmed of the things hell-horses know equally as other dirt or know equally as aging things. We doubt the wisdom of this discharge of help for it spreads the evil, rather than checks it. Besides our people of Oklahoma have very little respect for the morality of white people there any how. The chief seems to be of the same mind. Where are the white churches of Tulsa and their angelic pastors that things have gotten to such a state? Does the white church of Oklahoma have anything to do with the morality of the people? Does the chief advocate the exclusion of those colored boys so as to prevent them from following in the steps of their white neighbors? Or does the chief believe that a dark person may be a dirt or as possible be colored people have any knowledge of it? We are not surprised at any thing happening in Tulsa that is bad; the good is the exception. After all it may be a blessing to those boys to be kept out of those hotels for by so doing they may retain their self-respect and have cleaner minds. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Have You Self Respect? New York City, July 8, 22 Editor, Madeleine Cloughman, Editor, Madeleine Cloughman, Editor, Glencoe, Virginia, O. My dear Mr. Smith: I simply wish to extend my congratulations and best wishes on your outing the race for governor in Ohio. I do not know just what is the local condition which lead you to this step. But I do know that whenever the colored people can not with self-respect support any of the political parties that are lead by white people, the very best thing to do is what you are now doing and what they did in Virginia a little while ago. The time is passing when we feel that we must follow, even when we are insulted, Democrats. Republicans or anybody else. I shall be glad to hear more about the matter. Very truly yours. Wm, Pickens. Field Secretary, N. A. A. C. P. Du Bois Not Wanted New York City—Bishops of the A.M. E. Connection (Church) who were in New York City week before last, for the bishops' council of that church, were placed in an awkward position through the action of several members of the 'lower house,' made up of ministers and laymen of the church, who objected to hearing an address which Dr. Wm. E. Du Bois was to have delivered before the Council. These men, it is alleged, had formed a conspiracy for the purpose of hounding down Du Bois when he appeared on the platform to speak. The bishops apologized for the proposed slight, it is said. To date, we have simply been amazed at the enthusiastic response to our candidacy upon the part of the masses of our people wherever we have gone in the state. HARRY CLAY SMITH ROUSES INTEREST HERE IN CAMPAIGN Applause and cheers, which echoed through the Brier Hill district, greeted Hon. Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, nationally known colored leader and newspaper man, and a candidate for Governor of Ohio, at a large meeting in the Booker T. Washington Settlement, W. Federal St. Monday night, July 10. "22. Voters, both colored and white and of various walks in life, listened to the speaker with keen interest. Mr. Smith thoroughly impressed the throngs that filled the auditorium to its utmost capacity. He was introduced by Rev. Charles Bundy, promoting Youngstown clergyman. After singing America," prayer was offered by the mayor. J. E. Burton of this city, Policyman of Mishon County were seen shingling with the hundreds of voters, promoting the spoke of the many issues involved in the campaign and told several humorous stories. He said in part: "It has been said that the Negro has never done anything worth white, but the only law against lynching which has had full effect in this country was made by a Negro, the Ohio law. Statistics show that none of the Negroes lynched had ever been tried, never had his day in court. The four lynchened in Texas some time ago proved to be innocent, but they were dead then. You know whether I have been honest to you whether I have been fair to you only gotten past 50 years we have only gotten past 50 years we have only gotten past 50 years we have only gotten past 50 years as you have voting for white candidates you own on your own. The Negro has been loyal to his party. What have you to show for it? I am an Ohioan and in this state all have to show and prove. In Missouri you have only to show. There are about two or three hundred thousand Republican votes in Ohio to be divided between nine candidates, and half of the Negro vote with the others I will get will be enough to win the nomination for me. The door is open and all we have to do is to walk in."—Youngstown (O.) Telegram (July 11. "22. A WONDERFUL MEETING! A large and enthusiastic audience was in attendance at the mass meeting held at the Booker T. Washington Settlement. Monday evening, July 10, 2022, under the auspices of the Harry Clay Smith for Governor Club, Mr. Smith of Cleveland, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, delivered one of the most interesting addresses that has been heard in this city for some time. He talked for one hour and a half, Mr. Smith, who was a member of the legislature for three ferms, touched on the Ohio mob-violence law which was introduced by him in 1884 and enacted in 1896. Also the Ohio Civil Rights bill which he had enacted into law while a member of the legislature briefly introduced Ohio sets the pace for all the world when it comes legislation against mob-violence "stated Mr. Smith. "Those laws have been cooled by Illinois and other states, and the Deer Anti Lynching bill now pending in the U.S. Senate is based on our Ohio law. Mr. Smith spoke of the prominent part taken by colored soldiers in the war of 1812 when they were so praised by General Jackson that the echo can be heard to this day: the War of the Revolution, the Civil war, Spanish American, and World wars. The speaker then read a better received, Monday from Dean William Pickens, one of the ablest men this country affords, congratulating him upon his candidacy. Two years ago, Mr. Smith rolled 61,081 votes in his first secretary of state. Many states have already organized Harry Clay Smith for Governor clubs. Mr. Smith having managed to visit many of them during his campaign. Music was rendered by the choir of Oak Hill Ave. A M. E. church invocation was offered by Rev J. E. Burton, while Rev. Charles Bundy president of the local Harry Clay Smith for Governor club, presided as master-of-ceremonies. A genuine treat was afforded all who attended. Charles Reeves presided at a beautifully appointed dinner at his home in North Ave., Monday evening, in honor of Hon. Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland. Covers were arranged for the following: Rev T. W. Mills, Rev Charles Bundy, Rev H. H. Brown, Rev J. E. Burton, R. D. Lynch, Norman Reed, Duncan Livingstone and Harry Clay Smith. Cleveland—Youngsown (O.) Daily Vindicator, July 11 '22. The W. M. N. in Ohio politics has already begun to "take" to the woods." The sentiment among our people of the state for their candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor is too strong to be withstood. Good! SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Our People Wonderfully Enthusiastic And Determined Clubs Being Organized Rapidly—Contributions to the Campaign Fund—Prof. Wm. Pickens' and Other Endorsements YOUNGSTOWN, O. — Monday evening's mass meeting at the Booker T. Washington Settlement, under the auspices of our local ministers' Harry Clay Smith For Governor Club, was one of the most enthusiastic and successful gatherings it has ever seen our good fortune to attend. The spacious auditorium is made accessible by our Dr. Cress, Bunny, president of the club and pastor of Oak Hill Ave. A. M. E. church, who presided and introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland, editor of The Gazette, delivered one of the strongest addresses he has made since his advent among us, about a year ago. Briefly, he sketched the career of the speaker, time after time eliciting thunderous applause that could be heard for a block away. The climax of his speech, however, was reached when he urged to vote as a unit for Harry Clay Smith, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, saying we had thrown away our votes long enough, voting for white candidates, and voting for nothing in return: that now that we had our candidate for the gubernatorial nomination for the first time, we have voted for many many years, it was only the colored voter who lacked wolfily in the matter of self and race respect who could possibly fail to vote for our candidate at the primaries on August 8, 1922; and urged all present to make themselves aggressive workers in behalf of our candidate, not only approach our own people but white friends also. Dr. Bunny made clear the importance of all writing to their friends in other cities and towns of the state, urging their active support of our candidate. It will not take a very vivid imagination for one to realize what took place when the speaker of the evening arose to address the large audience. It was not only a most encouraging experience to all who were present, but indeed, a beautiful sight. The demonstration was a spontaneous heart-expression, such as solidemotion anywhere. For one hour and a half, Mr. Smith discussed the issues of the campaign, explained his or rather our candidacy, which he had for us, made clear the spacious possibilities and showed all present that with eight white candidates in the town on one-third and only half of the Afro-American vote in the state cast for him, would give him a larger vote at the primaries than any one of the eight white candidates could possibly get. There are too many of (candidates). This is the wonderful opportunity presented to our people of Ohio at this time. They may never again have another such glorious chance. Throughout Mr. Smith's speech, the large hall repeatedly ranged with stumps of applause, showing the unqualified approval of his candidacy by all those present. At the conclusion of his speech, nearly all went forward and shook his hand, congratulated and encouraged him for the grand opportunity, for the first time in the history of Ohio, offered us in this primary campaign. It was one of the most impressive and best delivered in Youngstown to our people are already arranging to have a show as after the primaries. A number of local white people, some candidates were in and the audience. They went forward and shook Mr. Smith's hand and warmly congratulated him. The B. T. W. S. chorus sang several fine selections during the evening. Dr. Burton opened with prayer. Mills closing. Mr. Smith was met at the train on his arrival, Monday evening, by a delegation of ministers and others headed by Rev. Cress, Bunny, and taken to a delibus dinner at a friend's residence, in Mr. Henderson's fine Chandler chair which was used to escort him to the B. T. W. Settlement, from there to the train. Eight sat down to the meal, two of whom were leading white Republicans of city, Monday's meeting, of the editor's great speech, has been the topic of most favorable discussion throughout the city and county ever since. Our people are wonderfully enthusiastic over the candidacy and working "like beavers." Come again, Mr. Smith. IN-UNION IN-IS-STRICTED THE COPY FIVE CENTS ORY! MEETING! erfully Enthusiastic determined rapidly—Contributions to the of Wm. Pickens' and horsements Time for Our People to Act. Mesopotamia, O, July 8. '22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Friend:—I am so very glad that you decided to be a candidate for governor. It will give me very great pleasure to do anything for you that I possibly can. While I am and want to be a good Republican, really I am tired of voting for a party which promises so much and does so little. It is not a matter of appointments, or good positions for our people, but simply a matter of JUSTICE and fair play. I believe that ability and not color should determine a man's fitness for any position. The present governor who thru his colored spokesmen during the primary campaign two years ago promised our people so many good positions, has utterly failed to make good. His has always been the case. Why should we continue to vote for such men just because their names are on the Republican ticket? I have worn the "dunce" cap long enough; I am going to throw it away and wear a MAN'S hat. I am glad of the opportunity to vote for a clean, capable, deserving colored man and Republican, too, for governor of the great state of Ohio. I was talking to a friend the other day. He said: "I do not know whether I will vote for Harry Clay Smith or not. I am afraid if I do I will lose my vote." I said to him, man, you have been losing your vote ever since you have been voting. Now, Harry, let me be frank with you. It seems to me that it is not at all material whether you are elected or whether you even get the nomination, but it is ALL important that the colored men and women of Ohio wake up to the fact that they have been too long subservient to the "grand old party" of fruitless promises. Let All Join the "Dollar Drive." Hampton, Va., June 30, 22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—The weather here averages eighty-four degrees, these days. You can easily see what little trouble we have to keep warm. I suppose it has been extremely hot in Ohio, too, particularly in 'cleveland'. With two Smiths entered in the gubernatorial race, and one sore at the other, the Ohio thermometer of color should register no less than ninety degrees. I have longed to be there ever since you decided to run. However, my peoples' cast for our purpose for you in August, and finally in November, will make white Ohio tremble. Enclosed find a check for one dollar, which will boost you one notch for Governor. Royal A. Milton. Raveena, O., July 8. '22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.

JULY 15, 1922 The Harding administration knows forty-seven different ways of keeping out of trouble in Europe. The British lecturers in America have few American converts to their credit. It's reported that American tourists in Europe are being squeezed for the last nickle. Serves 'em right for neglecting the tourist opportunities in America. British propagandists tell us we are in danger because we are a creditor nation. Strang they never thought of the danger when Britain was the creditor. When broad-minded and honest white Republicans, some leaders, tell our people "to their teeth" that they are not worthy of consideration if they do not support their own candidate for Governor what is left for the W. M. N, and their kind? --- Ambassador Geddes thinks the establishment of an American merchant marine would be unwise. Not a new idea among British officials, for we read in the American Declaration of Independence that the mother country oppressed the colonies by "cutting off our trade with all parts of the world." --- The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the trustees and advisory board of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association and our National Association of Women to attend the dedication of the Memorial Home (Frederick Douglass old home, "Cedar Hill"), on Saturday, August 12, '22, at Anacostia, D. C. a suburb of the nation's capital. Mrs. Mary B. Talbot, of Buffalo N. Y., is president of the Frederick Douglass M. & H. Association. --- AFRICAN TROOPS IN GERMANY Dr. C. S. Brown recently visited the World War zones, taking in the Rhine front where African Negro troops are being used by the French. He said that there is entirely too much talk about the troops' use by France. He said that the Germans themselves were more courteous to the black soldiers than the people who criticise France for keeping them there. As to the question of crime, and the alleged attacks upon white women, Dr. Brown said that the report is untrue and was gotten up to prejudice the American mind against France. The Germans say nothing of attacks. Indeed, says Dr. Brown, the German people give receptions for these soldiers and their officers and cultivate a most friendly feeling toward them. "Go and see for yourself," says Dr. Brown. In the rail controversy the Labor Board is the government. It is not a mere agent of the executive, appointed to aid in the administration of the laws, like the coal commission or the employment commission. It is specifically created by the law itself, the Transportation Act, and Congress has directed that the board perform certain duties and render decisions binding upon all the country. The demand of the labor leaders that the railroad operators ignore the rulings of the board was nothing less than an invitation that they violate the law. The president of the employees' organizations professed to see an "unwanted display" of inter- ```markdown ``` est in the enforcement of the Transportation Act when President Harding declared that the Labor Board had the "full and complete backing of the government." Every law that Congress enacts has the full and complete backing of the administration until it is amended or repealed. If the railroad owners had flouted the rulings of the Labor Board they would likewise have been made aware of President Harding's stand. When there is wanton defiance of the laws of the land, there is ample occasion for a firm declaration on the part of the enforcement officers, led by the President, that the law must and shall prevail. --- SANTO DOMINGO. Once more our government announces the evacuation of Santo Domingo. This announcement seems to be a periodical event. We hope the evacuation will take place soon; it cannot take place too soon for the "good and welfare" of both Santo Domingo and this country. The latest announcement seems to contain what appears to be an effort on the part of American representatives in Santo Domingo to control the new government of that country, soon to be elected. This was the thing that caused the most trouble for the natives of Haiti. The announcement concludes: "A convention providing for recognition by the Dominican government of all executive orders of the present military government will be negotiated to include specific recognition by that government of the bond issues of 1918 and 1922. "When a constitutional president and congress shall be elected and installed and shall have approved the ABOVE MENTIONED CONVENTION American forces will be withdrawn." This is not very encouraging, we must confess. There is, apparently, a very clear intention upon the part of some persons to try to keep the American military forces in Santo Domingo indefinitely. "Recognition by the Dominican government of ALL executive orders of the present military government" and approval of the same by the newly elected and installed president and congress of Santo Domingo, seem to be the "teeth" of our government's demand, before the oft-promised evacuation takes place. Senator, now President, Harding's statement, during his campaign for nomination and election, relative to the conduct of American military forces in both Haiti and Santo Domingo, led this country to feel that the relief, both little republics have so earnestly and aggressively sought for the last five or six years, would be granted promptly, if he were elevated to the presidency. More than a year has passed since the inauguration of our present chief executive. Knowing him as we do, we confidently look forward to an early and righteous solution of these two problems. All the South American countries are greatly interested and this country's status with them for many years to come, will undoubtedly be determined by it. ONE HARVEY C. SMITH 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. It was their refusal, along 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, 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 Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith showed his unfriendliness toward our race when a Probate Judge at Zanesville, this state, long before moving to Columbus. One thing sure; it is 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! MUSCLE SHOALS FORD OFFER. By Joseph C. Manning. I favor the acceptance by the United States government of the Ford offer to take over and develop the Muscle Shoals proposition. It would mean great industrial opportunities to the poor people of the South, white and colored. The proposition to furnish fertilizers to the farmers of the South at one-half the present price would be a boon to cotton farmers, who are mostly colored. Ford plants and other industries would spring up. This would give employment to thousands. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. JULY 15, 1922 HOWARD "STEPPING ON." Makes Important Additions To Its Facilities—Greater Facilities and Equipment Provided For Increasing Su- AN APPEAL AND CONTRIBUTION Omaha, Nebr., July 7, 1922. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland. Dear Harry: Since you have announced your candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of the greatest state of Ohio it becomes the duty of every race-loving Negro to contribute and help bear the expenses of your campaign. You cannot bear the burden alone. Your success means an elevation for every colored man and woman in the United States which will make our white friends say: "In the past we have not given the consideration we should have given to our loyal colored supporters who stood by us all through these many trying conflicts; since they have the courage to break over the lines of suppression and press forward for their rights, something must be done to elevate and protect them as American citizens by having them share in the distribution of offices throughout the United States, the same as other races." This effort alone, in trying to nominate and elect Harry Clay Smith Governor of Ohio, is the crowning point which will bring about the recognition due the race. Now let us talk it up, work it up and help bear the expenses. People of Ohio do your whole duty as never before. Forget past differences and rally to the support of your candidate. Lay aside all personal envy for the sake of the race and contribute as liberally as possible out of your small earnings to help make Harry Clay Smith's campaign a triumphant success. Today the eyes of the United States are centered on Ohio's colored population of nearly 200,000 voters, looking to see them show their willingness to work for the advancement of the race. May God speed and crown your efforts with success. Let Ohio be the first to show the world what we can do when we try. Give us the Moses out of Ohio with victory stamped on his forehead, which will encourage every state in the Union, where Negroes are holding the balance of power, to wake up and protect their interests. Now let every one contribute freely and put his ward to victory. May God help you shoulder to the wheel and press for people in Ohio to give us that great hope by doing your whole duty and nothing else. Please find enclosed draft for five dollars ($5.00). Will send more. With best wishes for your success, I am Your friend. Ferdinand L. Barnett. Rev. B. F. McWilliams, Scc. Another, Harry Cliff, Smith, O. Another, Harry Cliff, Smith, O.

He left. Tuesday night, for New York City to sign the Wills' articles for their July 19 contest. Wills Signs to Box Dempsey After much "sparring" and more unnecessary and foolish statements by white sport-writers of the daily newspapers of the country, Jack Dempsey's and Harry Wills' managers finally got together, Tuesday, in New York City and signed articles for a contest for the world's heavyweight pugilistic title, Dempsey being "champion" now. The agreement provides that the bout must be conducted under rules of the boxing laws of the state in which it is held, or if no boxing laws exist in the state then the laws of the New York boxing commission are to hold. Mullins, Wills' manager, wants the contest at an early date. Kearns, Dempsey's manager, seems to be "playing for time" for reasons obvious. "Tut Can't Box Much." Billy Palmer (Tut's manager) says Tut can't box much, but he can hit. Tut's record proves that. Generally, Tut finishes his man in the early rounds. He not only wears heavy 21-ounce gloves to spare his stabmates, but if he wore lighter gloves he might drive his fists straight through 'em; Tut's sparring partners are Joe Lawson of New York and Peter Jackson of Toronto. Jackson is a big fellow, but he doesn't want any of Jackson's games, not any part of it. "When I go into the ring with that bird," said Peter last night. "I want Tut to have on the biggest gloves he can get and I want 'em on all six of his fists. I aim to protect my face from the waist up. Boy, let me tell you he can hit. When he strikes a man, he stays struck. When they tell you that Tut knocks his opponents out, they are saying something. He knocks 'em out of the ring. He powers up and then a power combined. When Tut's in action a ringside seat is as safe as a trench." Peter ought to know. Tut knocked him kicking once. Since then Peter has found it better to be a partner than an appendant. Tut's right name is James Johnson Jackson. Baptist Educational Society Meet. The first annual session of our Baptist Educational Society of New England, Central and Western States, will be held, Aug. 2, 3, and 4 in the Mt. Haven Baptist church, this city. This session will mark the close of a drive for $25,000. Ten thousand dollars in addition is needed for furnishings and for expenses during the year. Every church is asked to send as liberal an offering as possible. Our white friends are contributing $125, 000 to this movement. They are asking that we contribute $100,000, only $25,000 of which is asked for this year. Will Do All He Can to Help. Uhrichsville, O., July 8, '22. Hon. Harry Clark Smith. Dear Editor:—I am so glad to read the many different letters in regards to your brave effort (candidacy) and am greatly pleased to know that we have a man of color that is game enough to get in the race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in this state. I hope our people will remember that portion of the scripture that says "together we stand and divided we fall." This time we must stand Bacharach's Trim Keystones. Pittsburg, Pa.—Bacharach Glants of New York easily defeated the Keystones here, last Thursday, by a 15 to 3 score. Winters held the home team at his mercy, the visitors slamming Owens at will. Winters got a home run with one on, while Williams' three hits led for the Keystones. Friday, the easternners again won 10 to 4. DOESN'T LOOK PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN THIS POSE T JACKSON Beat the Tates. Last Saturday, at Massillon, O., the Agathons (white) beat the Tate Stars by a score of 4 to 2. Sunday, here at Tate field, the latter took two games from the New York City Bacharachs. Score 3 to 1 and 6 to 5. In the first game, Boyd got a three-base hit and Johnston and Taylor, two-base hits. Johnston pitched the game for the Tates. In the second game, Johnson and McClaine got two-base hits. Monday's game with the same team resulted in a score of 4 to 2 in favor of the Tates. In this game, Bonner and Boyd got two-base hits and McClaine a three-base hit. The fourth battle between the two teams was stopped by rain in the eighth inning. Score, 6 to 6. A tie. In this game McClaine again got a two-base hit. The last game of the series was played. Wednesday. Score 5 to 2, in the Tates' favor. These contests brought about street contentions between adherents of both teams that compelled a squad of police under Sergei Alfred Jones to make seven rounds. Monday, to make the ball and Central Aves, in the 11th and 12th wards, with the result that about 40 were landed in jail. Several members of both clubs were reported by the police as included in the clean-up. It is said that a delegation of fans from New York City and Philadelphia were here to witness the series of games. Such occurrences, as require the services of the police, only serve to lower the status of baseball among our good people of this city. A. B. C's. Win Two. St. Louis, Mo.—A large crowd attended the opening of the new park of the St. Louis Stars, here Sunday, and saw the locals lose the first game to the Indianapolis A. B. C.S. Score, 4 to 0. Jeffries was in great form and let the locals down with three hits, while Bell, Meyers and Kennard formed the Stars' battery. Monday, the team again in great fashion. Score, 9 to 3. Gatewood and Gurley toled for the Stars and Carr for the visitors. Mackey featured with three hits, including a triple and home run. Fears Giants Lose. Alliance, O.—The Cleveland Fears Giants lost to the fast Goat Hills, here Sunday. Score, 10 to 3. Keeton pitched nice ball for Fears and went down because of Willett's and Thomas' six errors. together as never before. I shall do all in my power to help. Sincerely yours. Jas. Pullic.

Washington Settlement at Youngstown, Monday evening. The meeting was held under the auspices of one Club South for Youngstown Club of that city, which was organized recently by our ministers of Youngstown. Like the mass meeting in the park at Oberlin, last week. Monday evening, it resulted in doubling the activity of our people in that vicinity. While in conference with Mayor Kohler, the first of the week, relative to the strike of the garbage men's union, Geo. F. Golden, third vice-president, of the International Drivers' Union, admitted the calling of the strike was "ill-advised." "Had I been in Cleveland I would have taken up the grievances with city officials before ordering a strike," he stated. "I knew the strike was ill advised long ago." Kohler replied. "The bad advice to strike was given by disgruntled politicians who wanted to discredit my administration." The union representatives assured Kohler they would be glad to take their jobs back under the same conditions and at the same pay as had previously prevailed and with only an oral agreement to this effect. This the mayor refused, saying the men would only get their places back as vacancies occurred. Last week, Mayor Fred Kohler "let out" Wm. Crawford (Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walkers' half brother) who was messenger in the city's engineering department at the City Hall. Crawford is out working against our candidate for governor. At the second quarterly review of Mt. Zion Cong. church, last Wednesday evening, the trustees reported over $650 per month raised, the envelope collections reaching a higher average each month.

The men are taxed $6 and the women $2.50. The pastor will be here throughout July to help make these plans a success. 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, 2012, 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, prevent- Drawn for this paper By Frank Leet ing discrimination in the moving-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 who has to his Thomas. Willem van Cleckman, 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, with no concern 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.

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 the Republican nomination for governor. He 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 Harry Clay Smith 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 over Iowa. Our warrior warrior has been astirde his neck ever since. In the more than 40 years that I have been a close observer of political ratters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1820—when they could have won without the aid of the other Republican. The 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. Why not an Afro-American governor for Ohio and any other Republican state? Brazil has a colored population. 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?" KOFA 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 try! Assisted by the population you have, of our people in your state, and your many who are friends, you will be well 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 context of this kind lay aside all feelings and do their full duty in protecting the rights a race and respecting people, if only one-third of the 125,000 voters in Ohio 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. 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 may be successful, that is necessary that active support be in evidence. To that end 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. Forman, pres.; Carey Cook, vice-pres.; James T. Bell, sec.; 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 for blessings upon you, I remain as ever. Your old friend, Rev. A. E. Allen, Pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church. ANOTHER CONTRIBUTOR. States His Reasons for Giving Cash Support to Our Gubernatorial Candidacy—Nominate and Elect Him! Cleveland, O., June 21, '22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—I am sending you one don’t, to your campaign fund and will contribute more later. What a glorious opportunity! If only half of our men and women voters of Ohio will cast their ballots for you at the primaries in August, there is absolutely no question as to your success. 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 Ohio Legislature and four years as a state Old Ol' Importer under our great and good friend, the salient Joseph Benson Foraker, U. S. Senator from Ohio. Ohio Afro-Americans know too well who has stood to the fore front for them in all their trials and tribulations for nearly forty years, in season and out, sick or well, and always 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-Lynchism law, 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. h best wishes, I am Your long-time friend, S. I. Dorsey. 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 cam- pany. I thought the dollar" too little as a "first aid" to the enterprise, but did not wish to get the standard so high that few would want to contribute. A dollar is a popular contribution—and anything worth one hundred cents to the dollar is credited at par as "full value received". Therefore, please find enclosed P. O. money-order for five dollars—my contribution to your expenses in your gubernatorial cam- pany. I will pray that PRAYSERS 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. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. P. S. —Please acknowledge receipt there may be more to follow!!! G. W. B. OHIO STIRRED UP Over the Candidacy for Governor or 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 candidacy for governor, and I believe this 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 within the primaries or other means of attaining candidacy for the various political positions. Nothing that has happened within in 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. Ashlew Hawkins THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., JULY 15, 1922 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 as nothing in recent years has done as well as inculcate 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 waited for, only to be fooled by one party then another, the same as the colored people have continually been fooled into believing that any one party, no matter how badly mis- CONTRIBUTES TEN DOLLARS! And Says The Race Must Help Be cause It Is' Their Fight Our Candidate Is Leading on Their Insistence—The Right Spirit! Washington, D. C., June 23, '22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry:—The Gazette of the 17th inst., brought the welcome news of the filing of your declaration as a candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for Governor of Ohio. Since you have the courage to make this fight for the benefit of the race, we of the race must work in harmony, work unceasingly and help your campaign! Therefore, please find enclosed money order for ten dollars for that purpose. With best wishes for your success, I am. 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. Blacklist them, they know they are persona non grata, as far as the loyal members of the race are concerned. They are W. M. N.'s Whatever of progress 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 that "bunk," "it will make enemies for the race," "it is not time to and do." (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 rarely ever get, etc., etc. May God forgive them and all their pauillamous kind, 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 had patiently on their white political masters to do for us what we were and are clearly entitled to and what is the result? We are worse off today, from almost every viewpoint, than we were twenty-five years ago. Tell the W. M. N.'s 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). Our Champaign County Voters' League Urbann, O. June 26, '22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: The above named or organization appointed me to get in touch with you in the interest of your candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. As an organization, we have indorsed your candidacy and desire to aid you in any way that we can. What a GREAT thing it would be for our people of Ohio to show their strength at the polls, August 8, '22, by nominating for Governor an Afro-American. "In union there is strength"; and only by getting in touch with each other can we show and exert the strength that we possess. You are aware of other organizations or individuals throughout the state, who are enthusiastic as we are in this matter, with whom we could communicate and we will thank you for their addresses. Hoping soon to have you here to speak for us, too, and wishing you all the success that courage demands, I remain. Yours Sincerely, Carl M. Freeman, pres: Mrs. J. A. Brown, chairman; Harrison L.

Good crowd of voters of both classes assembled in the park, Monday evening, July 3. 22. to hear the addresses delivered by our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, Hon. Harry Clay Smith, and our candidate for sheriff, Robert W. Pulley, who introduced the speaker. For more than an hour, Editor Smith discussed the issues of the campaign and made clear to our voters of this county, for many had come from Elyria and Lorain as well as other points, the splendid possibilities of his candidacy which is a result of the insistence of our people throughout the state. With eight white candidates in the field as his opponents, he showed how easy it was for our people to capture the third and one-half of their votes are cast for him at the August primaries. Already very enthusiastic over the splendid prospects of success, our people here are redoubling their efforts to win, as a result of Mr. Smith's splendid speech, Monday evening. We are surely going to do our part to "put him over" and believe that Afro-Americans of Ohio almost to a man will do likewise. Mr. Smith's request that our people write their friends and acquaintances elsewhere in the state and get them interested also in the organization of HARRY CLAY SMITH FOR GOVERNOR CLUBS is being acted upon by many here. He will speak in Elyria and Lorain in the next fifteen days. While in Oberlin Mr. Smith was the guest of Mr. Pulley, and H. C. Tuck who showed him the sights of our college town in his fine car. Still Another Harry Clay Smith for Governor Club! Youngstown, O.—An exceptionally enthusiastic meeting of our ministers of this city, held. Thursday, June 29, '22, organized Youngstown's first HARRY CLAY SMITH FOR GOVERNOR CLUB. Dr. Chas Bundy, pastor of Oak Hill Ave. A. M. E. church, was elected president and Rev. T. W. Mills, pastor of Mahoning Ave. A. M. E. Zio n church, secretary. Arrangements were immediately completed for a great mass meeting on the earliest date possible to get Editor Smith here as the principal speaker. As elsewhere in the state, our voters are exceptionally enthusiastic over his prospects of his nomination and are determined to win recognition so long denied them by Republican party managers of Ohio. All members of the club were urged by the president to write to their friends and acquaintances in Ohio and urge them to become active immediately in behalf of our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland. Commends Our Condider Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Z Dear Friend:—I see from the Gazette that you have come out for the Republican nomination for Governor. I commend you for your courage and shall do all I can for you. So let me feel the feel colored man should not have such aspirations, I believe there should be no limit even to the aspiration of a colored man. You have as much right to a place on the Republican ticket as any other man in the state. We are all citizens, regardless of color, and to become a candidate for the high office of governor is simply asserting the right of citizenship. Let me encourage you to trust you success in this great undertaking and assuring you of my support, I am Yours in friendship (Rev.) O. W. Childers. 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. He will be as an elective public official as is usual, 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 or her vote in favor of any other candidate. 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 does not "ring in his nose." Neither is he under the leadership of any white man. Two years ago Harry Clay Smith received 61,081 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 is in the field for the same office. Hon. C. L. Knight would have received the bulk of the colored vote in this section, if Mr. Smith had not entered, and in. 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. WHY WE SHOULD STAND TOGETHER In Politics as Well as in Other Things, the American Our Leaders, Deposed, Etc. 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 suc- cess. 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. 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 Afro-American wants to political the 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. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very unhappy, but by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not oura—George W. Blount. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consecrious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, insecurities, 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 relatives, the relations of friends or the hearts of friends." Charles Sumner. 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 vowed to protect Day one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 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 person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum will kill the child and maintain the family 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 surviving such decedent, such sum will be distributed to the widow of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 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 local representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposefully 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 seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. At such lynching, 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, or to safecure the mob, which the lynching committee 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 dispure such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6259. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging 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 Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor 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 may present, denies to a citizen, except for payment of the cost, applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the commissions, 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 five hundred dollars to the per- person who should be recovered in any court of criminal in- sedition 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 own. We do not use it as often as they should, but we do 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 Righte 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: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, The Gazette Cleveland, O. My dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 4 venture me upon, under a separate cover, the Horman. Reporter of Feb. 3, last containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the 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.
