TOLEDO.—The following is from Warner A. M. E. church's "Bulletin" of last Sunday; Roy, P. A. Nichols, editor; "If Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland could get one half of the Negro vote, and as many as he did in his race for Secretary of State he would be nominated for Governor. Let's all vote straight." CADIZ.—Mrs. J. M. Tate and children of Wilberforce motored thru en route to the W. M. convention at Wellsville.—Mrs. Kate Smith of E. Liverpool is visiting her mother, Mrs. Susie Murrell.—Mrs. Lola Ramsey and children were in Steubenville, recently.—Mrs. Reba Titus has returned to Canton.—Rev. J. M. Glimere held the fourth quarterly meeting. Sunday, at St. James A. M. E. church. Allen C. E. has been reorganized with A. J. Wallace as president.—Mrs. A. L. Holland is visiting in Indianapolis. LORAIN—There wasn't any leaving the park in the heart of this city, last week Friday evening, while the Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, was speaking. Citizens of both races gathered there and were certainly interested and edified. The speech was certainly an eye-opener for our white friends and many of them say they, too, will vote for Mr. Smith again this year as they did two years ago. More power to him! Our people here and all thru Lorain county are for Mr. Smith and working hard for his success on Aug. 8, '22. ELYRIA.—The union, mass meeting of all our local churches, last Sunday afternoon, at the A. M. E. church drew a crowd that more than filled the church. The announcement that our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor would be the speaker of the afternoon was the drawing card. Rev Hayes opened the exercises, a song was rendered and then he introduced Rev. Chesa. Gray, pastor of the Baptist church, who was followed by Rev. J. L. Thompson, pastor of the M. E. church at Oberlin. Both gentlemen made fine talks and were followed by the principal speaker, the Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland. Ask any one present what a real treat he gave us and how he awakened the large audience to the grand opportunity afforded our people of Ohio, Aug. 8, "22, in his candidacy. We are all now individual workers in behalf of his, or rather our candidacy and we are determined "to do our bit" that this great victory may come to our people, next month, for the first time in the history of this country. HILL SORO.—Mr. and Mrs. Frank Day and children of Dayton visited Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Day, July 4.—Mr. Charles Black of Jackson is here visiting.—Mrs. Susan We Have Many With Crab Nature. Dr. Booker T. Washington gained considerable popularity as a story teller, and among the best stories which he told is one about the crab. In substance the story runs as follows: Mr. Washington stood watching a basket of crabs, one day. All seemed to be struggling to get out over the top of the basket. One reached very near the top, and it seemed as though he would crawl out. Mr. Washington called the owner's attention, asking. "Aren't you afraid these crabs will get out of this basket?" "Oh, no." replied the owner. "You do not know crab nature; as fast as one crab gets a little above or ahead of the others, the other crabs pull him back. It would be impossible for one, to get so far ahead, as to get out of the basket, because it is the nature of the crab to pull back." Beauty Found in the Negro New York City—Dr. Frank Crane (white) has recently called attention to the work of Miss May Craemer (white), the noted sculptress, and her comment on why she chose a Negro female figure for her heroic statue symbolizing the New World. Dr. Crane reports Miss Craemer as saying: "I believe that the most beautiful women in the world, spiritually, and physically, are to be found CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write also, their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

It was the deep mystic beauty in the eyes of the southern 'mammies' that first attracted me in Virginia. There is more spirituality shining out of the eyes of these colored women than can be found in any race of white women on the earth. The marvel to me is how the beauty of the Negro woman has for contries escaped artists and sculptors. She is more beautiful in face and form than the white woman." SPEAKING DATES. Our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, the Hon. Harry Clay Smith, addressed GREAT mass meetings in Elyria, last Sunday afternoon, and in Cincinnati, Wednesday evening, of this week. A full account of the Cincinnati meeting will appear in our next issue. This Saturday evening, Editor Smith will speak in Barberton; Monday evening to a great mass meeting in Elyria, over which the Mayor (Jones) will preside, and on Tuesday evening he will speak in Akron. Our people everywhere are rallying wonderfully to the active support of his candidacy, campaigns to the contrary notwithstanding. JOHN B. HARRIS A. Leading Candidate for the Republican Nomination for State Treasurer. The above is an excellent portrait of the Hon. Harry S. Day, mayor of Fremont, O., who, as an official and as a private citizen, has always stood ready to help our people in his own city. He is now a candidate for the nomination for the office of state treasurer on the Republican ticket and if you believe in helping one who has always stood ready to help our people, then be sure to go to the polls and vote for him on Aug. 8. The Day for Treasurer Club, Fremont, O. — Adv. POLITICAL "RINGS" AND MONEY Only Traitors to the Race Can Fail to Do Their Full Duty, This Time—Work and Vote for Our Own Candidate. Cleveland, O., July 20, 22. It is now time to bring about a change. For more than fifty years the Republican party's candidates from the presidency down to the smallest office, have been riding into office on the shoulders of the Afro-American voters of this country. And, as a rule, we have only received a few insignificant favor in return. Now, we have come to the political fork of the road and have decided to have a candidate of our own race nominated this fall, as the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio a man who has made good not only with his race but with every good citizen of the state; and a man who is well known to the people of the state for the good work he has done. I have reference to the Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor and owner of The Gazette for nearly forty years, a paper which has been issued every week on time since established, August 25, 1882. He is also the father of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Anti-Lynching law of which the Dewy Anti-Lynching bill, passed by the lower house of Congress, and now pending in the U. S. Senate, is largely a copy. These laws have made the state one of the greatest in the United States and kept her name out of the new papers, bloody columns, used with the accounts of the hard burnings and lynchings of our people in the Southland. This is a part of the record he has to recommend him in the race for the Republican nomination for governor. I hereby challenge any of the other eight candidates, (white) of the Republican party, or those of the Democratic party, to show the people such a splendid candidate, and can stand shoulder to shoulder with any in the race. We who respect ourselves and are loyal to our race, can offer no support for a failure to actively support him. Now is the time for the ministers to practice what they have been preaching, or prove themselves traitors to the race. Our politicians and businessmen once as free from faction to do their duty, unless they have political "rings" in their moose" or a white candidate's political money in their pockets. And if you have, I will warn you now that you cannot fool our people in the present and future as you have in the past. You may just as well make up your minds now to be honest with our people. It is silly to say that we cannot nominate our candidate. We can, if we try. Two years ago, when a candidate for the office of Secretary of State, Mr. Smith received more than 61,000 votes. A few more votes than that, this time, will surely make him a winner. There are over 200,000 colored voters (male and female) in Ohio. If only half of them will vote for our candidate on Aug. 8., 22, he will win the nomination, and if nominated, he will be the next Governor of Ohio. 8. W. Miller. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS For White Candidate, Too! Miserable Course Adopted By A Few Negroes White Candidates Trying to Split Our Vote—They Know We Can Win if We Vote Solidly for Our Own Candidate A letter, from Youngstown, received by the editor on Tuesday, July 18, '22, informs The Gazette that "Miss Hallee Q. Brown of Wilberforce had a meeting called for women of the race here, last Saturday afternoon, July 15, 22, stating she had a message to deliver to them. It proved to be an attempt to organize a Carml A. Thompson club here. I had an idea what it would be, so sent my wife to hear what she had to say. Well, if ever a man was slandered, this Brown woman certainly slandered you. I heard the same old LIES when I was in Cleveland, last fall, during the councilmanic campaign, but no one there, that is no decent, clean-minded person, paid any attention to them because they knew that the bad people in your ward had concocted them (just as they always do) to cover their own nith and defeat you if they could. Well, after she had run you down, and told them that Secretary of State Harvey C. McIntosh, congressman Knight, and the whiskey men's candidate, she named the women to carml Thompson. Then the women for Carml Thompson. Then one of the very leading ladies to do so, one of the known years well for and more than she could not enroll because she could not enroll for our own candidate for Governor, the Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Hallee Brown called, "Why. Why?" When the lady got told telling her why, the meeting was on the mat and being counted out. Several other ladies followed and when they got done, it was all off as far as the projected Thompson club was concerned. Only four enrolled: Hallee then got up and said she would be back in two weeks for a mass meeting and maybe do better. She will always remember THAT "mass meeting," if she goes to mrs. Senator Tod (while), 19th district manager of the women voters for Thompson, and some friends were at the meeting but left after our ladies got done talking for you. The Roberts club, a fine organization of men in this city, is the third or fourth local race organization to endorse your candidacy in the last ten days. They did this. Saturday evening, after Hallee got thru. Hallee says that some Cleveland women brought the stuff (contemptible lies) she rehashed about you to the Toledo convention. Dirty, very dirty." Working for a White Candidate, Cleveland, O. July 18; 22. Miss Halle Q. Brown. Wilberforce, Ohio. Miss Brown: In a letter just received, a friend in Youngstown, whose wife was in a meeting in that city on a recent Saturday afternoon, writes me that you made a number of statements in the meeting relative to me that are not only NOT true, but sandrout: If you are quoted correctly I wish to tell you that they were lies developed in last fall's counselimantic contest in ward 11, this city, when I led the good people of that ward in an effort to throw off the baneful Gives Up Kingdom for Wife. LONDON. England.—For the sake of his white wife, an Australian beauty, whom he married in 1915, the Rajah of Dadukota, in South India, has declared his intention of surrendering his kingdom to his brother and remaining permanently in England. His bride was Miss Molly Frink. At the time of his marriage, he made a state entry with her into his capital with all the gorgeous display of an Oriental monarch. A few days later, the royal couple came to England, where they have since resided except for a short time in 1920, when the Rajah went to Madras to welcome the Duke of Connaught. One of the impelling reasons for the, abdication is the fact the Rajah's son by his wife can not succeed to the kingdom. $100,000 Donation for Shorter College. ROME, Ga.—A $100,000 donation has been made to Shorter College of this city, by the General Education Board of New York City, a Rockefeller institution, according to notice received here by J. Paul --- HONOR LE COPY FIVE CENTS LIES! Candidate, Too! Adopted By A Few groes To Split Our Vote—They Know We Vote Solidly for Candidate "Starlight" Boyd-Tom Fleming yoke which had imposed on them a political rule that made the low element in the ward entirely too numerous, objectionable and harmful, and also placed that low element in the ascendency as far as vital ward interests were concerned. It is hardly necessary for me to add that if necessary I will resort to legal methods to preserve my good name and standing from such miserable lying campaign attacks as those you are alleged to have repeated (in the meeting referred to) and in the interest of a white candidate, too, for the Republican nomination for Governor. It is difficult for me to believe that you would stoop to such contemptible political methods and trust that it will prove that you are incorrectly reported. Yours for the race, Harry Clay Smith. CONTRIBUTES FIVE DOLLARS To the Campaign Fund and Makes A Statement All Should Memorize—Prof. Neval H. Thomas' Letter. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry:—It is inspiring indeed to learn of your candidacy for the governorship of our great state of Ohio. I enclose the small sum of five dollars, hoping that your candidacy will elect a larger mass of small contributions, since your fight is the fight of the Negroes of the nation. Your brilliant success as a legislator, and your twin-honored championship of the rights of our great people, give you the incontestable claim upon the suffrage of every Negro in the state. Your remarkable campaign for the secretaryship of the state, two years ago, and the brilliant success of the Negro ticket in Virginia, are giving the finest education and the best incentive to education which black men can receive. In addition, it is notice to our oppressors and to their Negro-birclings that we are weary of our slave status in the land that boasts itself a democracy, America, both black and white, must learn that it is just as fitting that a black man or a black woman occupy high offices of public trust, from the President of the United States down to the town-crier of the highest hamlet, as it is for the whitest man in the world. Yours in the cause. Neval H. Thomas. JOINS THE DOLLAR DRIVE. Cleveland, O., July 18, '22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor Gretec Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—I am in hearty sympathy with the effort you are leading for our people, and as an earnest of good will, I am sending you $1 toward your campaign fund. More of our people ought to join the $1 drive and not sit quietly by and see you stand all of the expense for the glorious fight you are leading for them. Very truly yours, Bryant Freeman. Cooper, president of the board of trustees of Shorter. It is the intention of Shorter to have an additional endowment of $300,000, and the $100,000, donated from New York. is a third of that amount. Stay away from Lena Park and preserve your self and race respect. You are barred from its skating rink, dance hall and bathing pool. Isn't that enough? Do you want to be kicked out, too? That Fleming meeting there, Aug. 1. is no "emancipation celebration" but simply a political meeting for a white candidate, Carmi A. Thompson, and is an insult in at least two ways to all the loyal members of the race. It also shows how little respect Tom Fleming, councilman, has for members of his race. Leaves Urban League $5,000. NEW YORK CITY.—The National Urban League for Social Service among Negroes is in receipt of a check for $5,000 being a bequest to this organization by Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz, a member of the League's Executive Board, who recently died in France.

JULY 22, 1922 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. 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? . . . 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! AT THE POINT OF A GUN Immeasurable harm has been done the cause of organized labor by the Illinois coal mine massacre. Of course the great majority of wage earners greatly deplore the murders, but they will be inseparably associated in the public mind with the mine strike that has the solid backing of labor leaders. If anything were needed to stiffen the resolve of the people not to be deprived of necessary fuel and transportation it is furnished in the Illinois outbreak. The idea that the consuming public, which pays all wage charges in the end, shall be held up at the point of a gun by a minority of one-twenty-fifth of its number, and ordered to pay wage schedules that the minority has prepared, is simply intolerable. --- AN EQUITABLE MEASURE Pending the report of the joint American-German commission, that is to determine alien property claims in the two countries, the administration is considering legislation that will permit the Allen Property Custodian to pay all claims of $10,000 or less and to make a payment of $10,000 on all the larger claims. It is said such a program would involve the liquidation of about $24,000,000 in the custodian's accounts, leaving ample funds with which to protect the many counter claims of Americans against Germany. Twenty-nine thousand of the pieces of alien property held by the United States would be disposed of, out of the total of 31,818 pieces. It is understood that many cases of hardship caused by the impoundment of the enemy property will be relieved by the enactment of the proposed legislation. OUR CONSTITUTIONAL PRESIDENT. President Harding says, "The larger public interest must be asserted in the name of the people where the common good is the first and highest concern." The President has always been a consistent opponent of government ownership or operation of any private enterprise. "More business in government, and less government in business," has been a cardinal policy of his administration, but it is the President's first duty to serve the people and to' protect them from any impending danger so far as he can do so in the exercise of his Constitutional powers. Assertion of the public interest comes ahead of everything else in the administration of the government, and the president not only has the authority, but every principle upon which this government is founded directs him, to utilize every resource at his command to uphold the public interest. Any influence that tries to run counter to that interest will find in President Harding a stunch defender of the constitution and of the people whose rights it is designed to protect. --- NO COLOR OR RACE LINES. The two summer camps at Conterville Mills, Aurora, O., recently conducted by the Y. M. C. A. were enjoyed by between 200 and 300 boys, among whom were a number of our youth. Swimming, athletics, boating, etc., were thoroly enjoyed. Each leader had charge of ten boys. Rev. W. B. Suthern of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, this city, Orlando Withers and several other Afro-Americans were among the leaders. The boys were housed (mixed) in tents, regardless of race or color, and the camps were ideal in this respect, at least. It is not necessary to say that they were perfect successes and most creditable in deed to the Y. M. C. A. and to all concerned. Mr. L. T. Goodman, executive-secretary of the Downtown Boys' Community Branch, Central Y. M. C. A., was in charge of both camps and is entitled to major credit for their success. The advent in camp, one day last week, of Clarence Benjamin Gibson, assistant in the conduct of the boys' department at the Central Y. M. C. A., was hailed with general delight by all the boys, with whom he is deservedly popular. "Gibby," as he is familiarly called by his scores of young admirers, is very popular with them, although a strict disciplinarian. From all we are able to learn, Mr. Goodman and his assistant are broadminded young men well-placed. The absence of every thing that savored of discrimination on the score of race or color was the best feature of both camps and too, there were boys of many nationalities or races who were cared for. They were really Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association camps. "FOOLISH NEGROES." Congressman Knight of Akron also a candidate for the Reublican nomination for Governor, recently told Robert W. Pulley of Oberlin a candidate for the Republican nomination for sheriff of Lorain county so Mr. Pulley informed us, recently that "Colored people would be foolish not to vote for their own candidates," mentioning particularly Mr. Pulley and the editor of this paper. Mr. Knight is right in his statement and could "go further." Those "foolish" Negroes (only a few, we are glad to say) who are travelling about Ohio, under the pay (expenses, etc.) of certain white candidates, spreading the venomous campaign lies against the writer that were hatched in this city, last fall, by the low element of ward 11 of Cleveland who tried in vain to plaster us with the mud and immoral fathom that they were wallowing in (twas ever thus), will find that their dirty, contemptible and slanderous lying attacks will only act as a boomerang and recoil, harming most the white candidate, their political master, whose interests they seek to serve by their miserable, poisonous froth. This week we have been warned by our people in different parts of the state that there were three of these "foolish" and traitorous Negroes and all three are working for Carmi A. Thompson, another candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. We do not want to believe that he knows to what depths these three "foolish" Negroes are stooping in an effort to promote his interests, but if he does not stop it WE WILL and will also see to it that the onus of it all will be placed right where it will belongs—at his door! As for the three "foolish" Negro men referred to—Scat! you dirty rattlesnakes! JACKSON VS. FLEMING 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-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 THE GAEDTTE, CLHEVELAND, O.. JULY 22, 1922 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. 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. 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 old "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 rarely ever get, etc., etc. May God forgive them and all their菩烦善 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 waited long and 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). That They Are "Colored" Is Sufficient. Cleveland, July 17, '22. Editor Gazette:—I have been informed that there are only two colored candidates for the legislature in the state, and that they are in our county. Would like to hear what "The Old Reliable" has to say as to these men. They are strangers to me and most of my people, as we are all strangers up here in the North. A reader, OSBORN JACKSON. Nab Lynching Suspect AMERICUS. Ga.—George Phillips, (white) one of seven men wanted for alleged participation in the brutal lynch-murder, several months ago of Will Jones, a Schley county Afro-American farmer, was arrested at Bartow Fla. July 13, and brought here for trial. Six other men still are fugitives while three others have been sentenced to a year at hard labor. To do Senator Lodge justice, he knows the Constitution. He can repeat it backward, forward and sidewise. He knows that the Dyer bill is a pure fake, for politics only. He knows as well as do the members of the Judiciary that it is unconstitutional and that the courts will upset it at the first test. But that will take time. Meanwhite, the "Negro vote" is badly needed.—N. Y. World. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Bonner CLEVELAND CLAUDE JOHNSON His timely hitig wins several games for the Tates. also got a two-base hit. In the second game, Barnes got a two-base hit and Leonard a three-base hit. Johnson cleaned the sacks of runners twice during the first game and Johnston won the game with a lusty whack to the center. Manager Taylor shifted the line-up considerably after the game was in progress. Barnes was benched in favor of Murray behind the bat, and Henderson replaced McClaine at short. McClaine is a reliable fielder and hits consistently. He is popular with the fans, and they FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripen growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education — in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. I believe in the people of 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 criticized the manager's judgment in removing him from the game. Johnston made a two-base hit. Bacharachs Best Canton. CANTON, O.—The N. Y. City Bacharach Giants defeated the Canton team white last week Friday, in a close game, score to 3. Lloyd and Treadwell castop and pitcher respectively, of the Bacharachs were the heavy hitters. The latter fanned seven of the Canton players and made two two-base hits. Lloyd made two three-base hits. Marcell and Duncan of the same team, each got a two-base hit. Detroit Takes First DETROIT. Mich.-Six thousand fans watched the Detroit Stars defeat the Bacharach Giants of New York, in the first of a five-game series, at Mack park, Sunday. Score, 10 to 5, "Cannonball" Reddling, the Giants' star, failed to last and Treadwell also had trouble stopping the locals. Cooper pitched a steady game for the Stars. Cubans Beat Canton CANTON, O.—The Cuban All-Stars defeated the fast Canton Terminals here. Sunday, by a score of 4 to 2. Each team earned all its runs, the Cubans batting timely in four of the innings. Dreke's batting featured for the visitors while Missner led for the locals. Silva hurled a clever game for the Cubans. Tut-Wills Bout. August 8. Billy Palmer, Tut Jackson's manager, returned to Cleveland from New York City, Saturday, with a contract which says that Tut will meet Wills at Ebbetsfield in Brooklyn, Aug. 8. Both men are to receive 25 per cent. of the gross receipts, the balance going to the management of Ebbetsfield. Wills weighs 210 and Tut, 200. The Brooklyn arena seats 45,000 people. Tut closed his engagement at the Star Theatre, Saturday evening, and left at once for his home in Washington, C. H., to prepare for the Wills bout. The sport writers (white) of certain daily papers are hoping that Tut will win from Wills so that Jack Dempsey will not have to fight the latter. There is little or no danger of this, how discourage the Harry will not discourage Tut who will fighter, has much to learn as a boxer. It is the general belief that Wills is the best boxer and fighter in the country. 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 unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning.

If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed as well as worked by other interest as well as worked by other interest their own advancement and not ours.-George W.

Right Spirit Being Shown! Harry Clay Smith For Governor Clubs Being Organized Mass Meetings Being Arranged—Words of Encouragement and Contributions to Campaign Fund Our People Wide Awake! 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 the roar. The speaker was dued by Rev. Charles Bundy, prominent Youngstown clergyman. After singing "America," prayer was of Harry Clay Smith fered by the Rev. J. E. Burton of this city. Politicians of Mahoning County were seen mingling with the hundreds of voters present. Mr. Smith 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 while, 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 a proved to be tried, never had his day in court. The four lynched in Texas some time ago proved to be innocent, but they were dead then. You know whether I have been honest with you; whether I have been fair to you. The past 50 years we have only gotten promises and a few dollars from our party's leaders. If you have been throwing your vote away for 50 years, as you have, voting for white candidates, you may just as well throw it away on your own. The Negro has been loyal to me. What are you going to 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 walk in."—Youngstown (O.) Daily Telegram, July 11, 22. A WONDERFUL MEETING! 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, '22, 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 he gave to the audience time. He talked for one hour and a half. Mr. Smith, who was a member of the legislature for three terms, touched on the Ohio mob-violence law which was introduced by him in 1894 and enacted in 1896. Also the Ohio Civil Rights bill which he enacted into law while a member of the general assembly in 1894. Ohio sets the pace for all the world when it comes to legislation against mob-violence," stated Mr. Sm.th. "These laws have been copied by Illinois and other states, and the Dyer Anti-Lynch 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 1894 by whom he informed the soho can be heard to this day; the War of the Revolution, the Civil war, Spanish-American and World wars. The speaker then read a letter received, Monday, from Dean William Pickens, one of the dean men this country affords, congratulating him upon his candidacy. Two years ago, Mr. Smith polled 61,081 votes in his ace for secretary of state. Many cities throughout Ohio have already organized Harry Clay Smith for Governor clubs. Mr. Smith having arranged 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 geniune treat was afforded all who attended. Charles Reeves presented at a beauty tiffany shop, the dimmer 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.—Youngstown (O.) Daily Vindicator, July 11, '22. ANOTHER HARRY CLAY SMITH FOR GOVERNOR CLUB Akron, O, June 26th, '. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Blackstone Building, Clarendon, 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 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 26, in the Young Men's Charge St., with an initial membership of thirty-one. The organization was effected amid a demonstration of great enthusiasm. The officers elected are: Amos H. 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 course of work in this matter and praying God's blessings upon you. I remain, as ever. Your old friend, Rev. E. Allen, Pastor Bastet, A. 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 dollar toward 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 do not elect a popular people, 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 his experience with the Legature and four years as a Deputy State Oil Inspector under our great and good friend, the sainted Joseph Benson Foraker, U. S. Senator from Ohio. Ohio Afro-Americans know too well who has stood to the forefront 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 supported the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Anti-Lynchism 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. Omaha, Nebr., July 7, 1922. Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland.

This will explain why it is absolutely necessary for our people to help financially, also, in the effort I am leading for our people and on their insistence. Of course, we will not have to go to any such expense as $10,000, but whatever it may be it will undoubtedly be far and away larger than I can ever hope to stand alone, because I am not "a man of means," but shall stand my part of the expense.

If the Afro-American wants anything political, he must fit it into the system 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.

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 of Ohio. The suggestion seemed so novel and surprising that the item was carried in a "box" on your first page under the caption of "Look Who Is Here." Permit me to ask why an Afro-American should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or 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 THE GAZE he Might Su have been a close observer of political matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1920—when they could have won without the aid of the Afro-American vote and the same limitation applies to Ohio and many of the other Republican states which have been held in the Republican column year after year solely by this vote. Why not an Afro-American governor for Ohio? Why not another Republican state? Brazil has a colored 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. CONTRIBUTES TEN DOLLARS!

Therefore, please find enclosed money order for ten dollars for that purpose. With best wishes for your success, I am. 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 reusal, along with this daily newspaper, 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 Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith showed his unfriendship Judge at Zanesville, this state, along 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 the Republican gubernatorial nomination, or any other when he or she is put in possession of the foregoing information.

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 say, "guests 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, and, however native and infirm, continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Leads the Country in Legislation Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder-The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law.

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 and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable a alike to all citizens and regardless a race or color, the full enjoyment of the ornament, advantages, facilities or privileges that the bill is 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 person aggrieved thereby to be recovived in the county where such offence was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is people who have been so often as they would, but expect 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 outery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio for the case Akron, Ackron, O. April 25, 1919. My Dear Sir: I wrote a letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 1 venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
