Editor Gazette, 'My dear Mr Smith':—The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, an organization of progressive citizens, founded and chartered in 1909 to promote the various interests of the Negro found it impossible to hold its annual picnic at Luna Park because of the unbearable conditions imposed upon them by the terms of their contract. This contract curtailled the activities of the picnicers and gave them right to enjoy only a few of the many attractions of the grounds. For this reason, the C. A. of C. M. withdrew from Luna Park and called into conference many of the leading civic and fraternal organizations and put its case squarely before them, with the result that no one of the race has attempted to hold a picnic at Luna Park for the past four years. Now the "Service Catering Association," trading on a name made popular in our city by their (The Caterers' Association) many sided activities has flooded the East End with bills announcing an "emancipation celebration" to be held at Luna Park, Aug. I. 22, Tuesday. It is said that Thos. W. Fleming, a man once popular in the C. A. of C. M., a man that through force of conditions has been our only race man in City Council, a man that poses as a leader, a man that should be behind all such movements as the one fostered by the C. A. of C. M., namely to take this picnic away from Luna Park. guesses of Morrill Green, last week. Rev. J. J. Burr preached at Gist St. element, Sunday, and was guest-told by Roy.

Should a man of this stripe be our spokesman and so-called leader? Should we follow him in his attempt to destroy the "race's self-respect"? It is said Mr. Fleming has fed from the political trough for some 10 years or more and the feed has made him fat in body and pocket. And now it is time for him to follow the path of a former well-known leader who remarked: "Get on, get honor and then get honest self-respect and race respect." Tom informed me that I was a radical and thin-skinned because I object to going to a park where the management tells me, "No, you can't use that part of the park; it is for whites only." And Tom furthermore stated that he was getting along very fine by assuming the attitude (bowing to prejudice and color-lines instead of fighting them) that he does. Of the Hon. John P. Green, we ask, in all fairness: "How can you afford to be led and hood-tied by such bunk as the alleged celebration" at Luna Park? Elroy Willis, Jack Thompson and Wilbert Hayes do not "draw enough water." In my mind, to induce the foxy Gen. Zimmerman to sign a contract for a picnic date at Luna Park. They are only the goats in a political frame-up for Carmi A. Thompson, a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. It is to be hoped that the race people will read this and see the wisdom of staying at home, Tuesday, Aug. 1, 1928. Dwight R. Williams. Dight R. W. Aaa. Sec. The C. A. of C. 1 PROF. NEVAL H. THOMAS WASHINGTON, D. C. Senator William E. Borah addressed a large mass meeting of our people at the A M E. Zion church in South Washington on "The Unconstitutionality of the Dirt Anti-Lynching bill." recently he expressed his surprise at being asked to address a colored audience since the entire race knows of his opposition to the measure that is so near the Negro heart. He congratulated the race on its judicial attitude in wanting to hear all sides of the question. He defended his position with a long array of judicial precedents, and said that he would violate his own as a Senator if he voted for a bill which he believed to be unconstitutional. He said that one sovereignty could not impose a fine upon another, and that state pride would resist every effort to impose such penalty by the national government, thus leaving the Negro as defenseless as he is now. Prof. Neval H. Thomas replied from the floor to many of the Senator's arguments. He said: "No man living knows whether the Dyer bill is constitutional or not. The distinguished Senator is likewise distinguished as a lawyer, but over and against his learned opinion is the learned opinion of Moorfield Storey, than whom there is no greater lawyer in the world, and that of the U. S. Attorney General. The Supreme Court, in all probability, will divide on it, as it does in so many of the great questions it is called upon to decide. One learned member of this great tribunal once said, 'The only reason we are right is because we get the last guess.' The laws are voluminous and indefinite. 'There is no fixed judicial science,' as the Nation puts it. Often a most vital question is decided by a five-four vote, five learned judges saying the law is one thing and four equally learned judges saying it is another." A WHITE FRIEND. ON THE HONOR ROLL Washington, D.C., July 24, '22 Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I beg to enroll as a dollar contributor to your campaign, fund, for Governor of Ohio. I wish that all of those who read The Gazette, who appreciate you for your manly qualities and leadership as I do would take interest in the fight you are so splendidly making. May I express the hope that you will not, in the least, be disconnected because of campaign attacks or diverted, for a moment, from your campaign work by reason of the mud-throwing of persons whose design is to overcome your good works. Sam Jones, the evangelist said: "A fire does not bark at a dead horse. It is a live horse going down the big road and making the fly, at every jump, that causes every cur and flee to run out of the yard and yelp." General Clarkson, when my enemies in the south were busy attacking me, wrote me: "Go on with your work, do not stop to throw rocks at every dog that barks at you." I sincerely hope you get the support of the people of Ohio. I hope that your friends out of Ohio will have deep interest in your fight and back you up in it. CAN BE ELECTED! Our choice for Governor is the Hon. Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland. 1st, because he is a Republican; 2nd, because he is competent to fill the position; 3rd, because he is a member of the Negro race. A very prominent colored citizen asked us if Harry Clay Smith was a Negro. He said, if he was, why vote for him knowing that it would be impossible to elect him Governor of the state. Well, we said that it was about time the Negroes were beginning to imitate the white man's virtues as well as his vices. They vote for their own regardless of political affiliations, and thereby make it possible for them to be elected. We must learn to do the same.—Warren A. M. E. Church Bulletin. Toledo O. Rev P. A. Nichols, editor SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Aroused as Never Before Our Peoples' Slogan Every where is "We Will Win That Nomination" Wonderful Meetings June 21, 2021 Luke assailed by old time latters within a work has been the most fortune of the Hamilton County Republican organization, the revolt of the liberals which began two days ago on the announcement of R. K Hynicka that he favored the same candidate for Governor (Carmi A Thompson) that is backed by the Anti-Saloon League, being followed, last night, by a grilling fire from the Negro voters at a meeting in Metropolitan Baptist church, at which the principal speaker was the Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland, candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Countless have been the battles won here by the Hynicka forces in large part because of the supporting column of the faithful "Black Brigade," as the solid phalanx of Negro voters in Cincinnati long has been called in admiration by Republican politicians. Last night, Negro leader after leader arose and in wrathful eloquence poured forth his scorn of and defiance to the Hynicka organization. "For 45 years the colored people of Hamilton county have been accorded a place on the county ticket (member legislature), but this year you will look in vain on the ballot for the name of, a colored man of woman!" exclaimed Rev. J. Franklin Walker, pastor of the church. We have never desired these nominations because of the job. What we valued in them was the recognition accorded our race. This year it has been denied us. We resent this slight, and what is more we will make our resentment felt in the election." Similar speeches were, made by Wm. Ware, Dr. E. Duval Colley and J. M. Tadlock. It was asserted by Mr. Tadlock that an organization had been perfected by local Negroes in 26 wards and five townships of this (Hamilton) county. Hon. Harry Clay Smith is editor of The Gazette, a weekly newspaper published by him for forty years, at Cleveland. He declared, last night, that his campaign was not prompted by any white politician but by his own people solely. He said when he entered the primary, two years ago, for Secretary of State it was mainly to show all the proportion of the Negro vote in Ohio. He was severe in criticism of Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith. Editor Smith told of the contemptible lying reports current that he hired only white help in his newspaper office, that his "wife or woman was white," etc., being circulated by paid Thompson political hirelings, but held Carmi A. Thompson personally blameless, saying "Thompson is an honorable man." The meeting, last night, was held under the joint auspices of the Universal Improvement Association and the Hamilton County Negro Republican League, Mr. Smith spoke on "The Lilly White- Republican party of Ohio," and told the great audience, for the church was packed to the doors and many were unable to get in, that if a little less than half of the colored vote of Ohio is cast for him on Aug. 8, "22, he would win because there were so many (8) white candidates to cut up the rest of the Republican vote of the state. The great audience was extremely enthusiastic but when Mr. Smith made that statement the cheering could be heard for two blocks. There were scores of cries "We'll stand by you, we'll stand by you!" He talked for more than an hour and not a person left his or her seat. It was certainly a wonderful meeting. ANOTHER GREAT MEETING. ELYRIA. O—Last Friday evening, the park in the heart of this city was well filled with an enthusiastic audience that was about three-fourths white (men and women) to hear the Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, and they certainly heard SOME speech. He was neatly introduced by Kev Hayen, one of our oldest and most highly respected residents. For nearly one hour Mr. Smith discussed the issues of the campaign in such a way as to literally annotated his many white hawkers who were certainly most generous with their appliance as of course ```markdown ``` LE COPY FIVE CENTS LIES! NTHUSIASTIC! Well As Northern Ohio Our Peoples' Slogan Every Win That Nomination"— Fuil Meetings were those of our people in the splendid audience. All of the latter were so proud of him. He has left a wonderfully good impression here and many white as well as all of our people say they will vote for him on Aug. 5, 1922, because they are thoroughly satisfied as to his ability to fill the position and because of the excellent record he made when a member of the Ohio Legislature, for six years. The contemptible lies which low-down Cleveland Negroes, who are supporting Carm. A. Thompson, started in the state recently, have reached here, but, since we know Harry Clay Smith, are being ignored as they should be everywhere because they are The Purist and simple, and concocted for the purpose of use as a "smoke screen" to cover certain Negroes' failure to support our own candidate and to enable them to get money from white candidates who will not know them and all the rest of us after election as has been the custom and rule for lo, these many, many years. This, also, Mr. Smith made clear in his excellent speech. We must stand together in this fight—for the good of those of the race in Ohio. Honest white people both men and women, are telling our people this daily, through Ohio. The Women's Civic League (white) have just wired Mr. Smith asking him to come back here. Saturday evening, and speak again, but for them. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Thompson 410 Elm St., entertained Robert W. Pulley, our candidate for sheriff, and Mr. Edw. Copes of Lorain at a deliciou six o'clock dinner, Friday evening, in honor of Mr. Smith after Mr. Copes had taken Mr. Smith and Mr. Pulley for a delightful drive thruout Elyria in his beautiful new Buick "sport" roadster (maroon) worth nearly $2,000. Elyria, Lorain and Oherlin windows are full of Mr. Smith's pictures and we are working day and night that success may crown this race fight. Mr. Smith will speak in southern Ohio on Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings. Sunday, he expects to rest, either in Columbus at the Letchford house or at home in Cleveland. VOTE FOR HARRY CLAY SMITH. Ohio owes it to herself and Harry Clay Smith to give him a fine vote in the primary contest being waged for the governorship. Mr. Smith's legislature has the state's titles him. This consideration. This running for the governorship of Ohio by Harry Clay Smith is epoch making. It has been considered the proper thing for every race to vote for white men when they aspired for office. There has been a feeling that colored men were called upon to vote for others and not for themselves. Mr. Smith believes that any American citizen has the right to aspire to office so long as his ability and legislative experience warrant it. White men have as much right to vote for Harry Clay Smith, if they are Republicans, as colored Republicans have. The one thing that should determine the casting of their franchise is, does this man or that represent the best interest of the Republican party and will he if chosen make the best possible governor? For a white man to cut Harry Clay Smith because he is an honorable colored man, is to convict this renders him a bad citizen. As colored men have voted white men into office, they should see to it that they (the whites) give colored men a chance also, for by doing they are helping to boost the fortunes of the party and the honest fighter for the best things that can come to Ohio. In other states there are colored men running for office and in many instances they represent the best of the race. In others they represent that element which is a menace to all races. Harry Clay Smith is running as a Republican, not to weaken his party to strengthen it. In other places there are those who are bought to run independently to weaken their party and, by indirection, aid Democratic aspirants. These men have written their own opinions, doomed and damned. Let colored men everywhere aspire for any office within the gift of the nation that they can acceptably all but not the ignorance who is too ignorant to know he is ignorant. Keep up infamy upon himself and the race. Remember, an uneducated man can be bought by more than one party, should not be considered by intelligent voters. Note for Harry Clay Smith! (Rev.) Wm. A.

JULY 29, 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! Congressman Knight's statement, in his speech at Trledstone Baptist church, this city, a week ago last Sunday, that he is "a native of it and from Georgia and PROUD OF IT," caused an exodus from the church and has made considerable trouble for those who permitted him to speak in the church, especially on Sunday morning and at the service hour. Knight is a candidate, too. --- The Cleveland Civic League Report on the activities of this city's councilmen for the period from Jan. 1 to July 1. '22, made public a few days ago, after showing Cleveland's Negro councilman in anything but a favorable light concludes its short and anything but complimentary reference to his thus, "SPEAKS SELDON"'. The report is a correct one, we regret to say. Councilman Tom Fleming should and undoubtedly will go just as soon as the people can get a chance to send him back into private life where he belongs. THE OUTLOOK. The editor of The Gazette started his second speaking tour of southern Ohio, in this campaign, last evening (Friday) at Hillsboro where he addressed a mass meeting in New Hope Baptist church; Rev. J. J. Burr, pastor. He will speak in and visit a number of cities and towns in that section of the state before returning to Cleveland on Tuesday morning. Our prospects of success, bright two weeks ago, grow more promising with the passing of each week. Our good people throughout Ohio are up and doing and very enthusiastic indeed in the effort to win the great and grandest political victory ever to come to our people in the history of this country. "Put your shoulder to the wheel, brother and sister," and let us show all that the large Afro-American vote, in Ohio is a potent factor that will no longer be ignored and insulted with impunity by party leaders or others without the reckoning day coming, and soon. Remember that one-half of our vote of the state cast for our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor on Aug. 8. "22 will win for us because of the large field of white candidates. There are eight of them and four or five if not six of them will run very close together, thus splitting up the white vote of the state so as to make victory absolutely sure for us. IF WE ONLY VOTE. Let every loyal and self and race respecting member of the race in Ohio make himself and herself a committee of one to see that our pele vote, Aug. 8, next and vote right! "FOOLISH NEGROES." Congressman Knight of Akron, also a candidate for the Reubican 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 traveling 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 flth that they were wallowing in (twas ever thus), will find that their dirty, contemptible and glanderous lying attacks will only act as a boomerang and recoil, harming most the white candidate, their political master, whose interest 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 depth 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 belong—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 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 astirde 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 they rarely ever get, etc. etc. May God forgive them and all their pusillian 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, THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.JULY 29. 1922 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). LUNA PARK AND TOM FEEMING Ask any member of the old Ninth Ohio Battalion, who was at camp near Chillicothe when Colonel and now Gen. Zimmerman, manager of Luna Park, was there, what they know and think of him, and you will understand why the dance hall, skating pavilion and bathing pool there are still closed to Negroes, even on days when our people so far forget their self and race respect as to go there on the "separate" day they contract for. Get Capt. Wm. Green (or his father, John P. Green) to tell you how Zimmerman treated Capt. Green personally and his black soldiers at that camp, and then tell it to all you meet. Councilman Tom Fleming will insult every self and race respecting Negro in the city if he goes to that park, Tuesday, with his Carmi A. Thompson political meeting, and, too, trying to fool our people of this section of the state into believing that it is an "emancipation celebration." It really will amount to an outrage against the race which our good, loyal, self and race-respecting people of this community should never forget and be a mighty long time in forgiving. The lowest white "strollop" and the lowest white male brute can enjoy every amusement of Luna park at her and his pleasure, but decent, intelligent as well as other Negroes are barred, as indicated in the foregoing, thus placing them beneath the lowest white "strollop" and vilest white male brute in the community, as far as Luna Park is concerned. And Tom Fleming is apparently most to blame for this rank insult, "Starlight" (A. D.) Boyd, the most notorious Negro gambler, and worse. Cleveland has ever had in our time, did not stoop to do the like of this for his kind of our people, and we have been a resident of this city for more than a half century. It was bad enough for Councilman Tom Fleming to turn his back on his own people, those who secured him the job he has held for six years, and support a white man, as against one of his own race, for the Republican nomination for Governor, to have the impression go abroad that he is responsible for that Luna park outrage of next Tuesday is infinitely worse. May God forgive him! It will be some time before our people of Cleveland will be able to do so. And they will not forget Carmi A. Thompson either whose local manager, Maurice Maschke, Councilman Tom Fleming's political boss, undoubtedly promoted or encouraged Tuesday's Luna park outrage of our people of this community. Less but of the same kind is the contemptible lies Cleveland Negro hirings of the Thompson regime are spreading through Ohio against our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. They (the dirty lies) are acting as a boomerang thrush no fault of the contemptible individuals who spread them, however, but because they are so ridiculous, untrue, rotten and unbelieveable that they but spur the loyal members of the race, who hear them, to greater efforts in behalf of their candidate. Harry Clay Smith. It has reached the point where our people must make it costly to any member of the race, who affronts and insults them in matters of vital importance to their progress, especial when, as in the two instances referred to in the foregoing, they add positive injury to the affront and insult. We have had quite enough, entirely too much as a matter of fact, of Councilman Tom Fleming. THE YOUNG FOLK CONTRIBUTE Washington, D. C., July 17, 1922 Hon. Harry Clay Smith.

President Harding Stop Them: United States Negro troops are sent to Texas, a special trainload, to act as police among the striking railroad men. There ought to be no race prejudice, but there is no race prejudice. The sending of these men is unwise, unjust to the Negro traitors calculated to breed more race hatred hereafter, and everybody concerned ought to know it. The first test of the Ku Klux Klan's political power in Texas shows real power. The man with the Klan's backing for senator leads. That makes the sending of black troops to Texas still more unwise—Arthur Brisbane. THE ONLY WAY Washington, D. C., July 19, '22 Hon. Harry Clay Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.

SMITH FOR SHERIFF Why Our People Should Not Again Vote for the Standard— —the People's Standard. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Under the caption of what the present sheriff owes to, as a group and the manner in which he has paid his obligation kindly allow me space in your paper to mention attention to the political history of Cuyahoga County, for he past twelve intervals to the name of the present sheriff appearing regularly at two-year intervals on the ballot for election to the office which he now holds. A further inspection of the records will show that each succeeding period has been conspicuous by the unswerving loyalty of the members of our group, to the cause of the present sheriff. He has met his obligation to our race by his apparent disregard for the things that are essential to our peace of mind and home security. If the daily papers have quoted him correctly we believe that his attitude on the Ku Klux Klan and recently consenting in Cuyahoga County is sufficient to the fact that this gentleman as a victim of injurious to our group life and should be removed as soon as possible. The sheriff comes from the confines of his "im-jim-crow," jail at this time, soliciting and expecting your support at the primaries. Aug 8. If in the face of his attitude toward our group, you can still support him, then the Dyer bill should fail of passage, the Jasper county horrors should continue and the Tulsa affair become a regular Sunday diversion. Taking all this into consideration I am inclined to believe that the sheriff has proved unworthy of our support. In conclusion, let me say, I am going to vote for and advise my friends to support Chas, W. Smith for sheriff of Cuyahoga County. Who are you going to vote for and support? A.

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 Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce had a meeting called for women of the race here, last Saturday afternoon, July 15, '22. sitting she had a message to deliver to them. It proved to be an attempt to organize a Carmi 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 lied you. I heard the same of lieds when I was in Cleveland, last fall, during the 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她 that Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, would not do either, and that Congressman Knight was the whiskey men's candidate, she called for the women to enroll their names to work for Carmi Thompson. Then the women were asked to speak. Our very first one to do so, one the leading ladies and those who had twenty you vote, arose and because she intended to vote for our own candidate for Governor, the Hon. Harley Clay Smith. Halle Brown called, why. Why? She when the lady got done telling her why, the meeting 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! Halle then got up and said she would be back in two weeks for a mass meeting and may be'do better. She will always remember THAT 'mass meeting' if she comes. Mrs. Senator Tiff (white), 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, in third or fourth layer of organization to endorse your candidacy in the last ten days. They did this, Saturday evening, after Halle got thru. Halle 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 Hallie 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 slanderous! If you are quoted correctly I wish to tell you that they were lies developed in last fall's councilmanic contest in ward 11, this city, when I led the good people of that ward in an effort to throw off the baneful "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. Do you believe that you would stoop to such contemptible political methods and trust that it will prove that you are incorrectly reported. state of Ohio. I enclose the small sum of five dollars, hoping that your candidacy will elicit a larger mass of small contributions, since your fight is the sight of the Negroes of the nation. Your brilliant success as a legislator, and your twice-honored championship of the rights of our great people, give you the incontestable claim upon the A. Harry Clay Smith 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-hirelings 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 tiniest hamlet, as it is for the whitest man in the world. Yours in the cause. Neval H. Thomas. 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 greater 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 friendts 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 shoulder to the wheel and press forward to victory. May God help you 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. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., JULY 29, 1922. WHY WE SHOULD STAND TOGETHER In Politics as Well as in Other Things—What the President Said—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 success. It is certainly high-time for you to be president, and I would 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 the Afro-American wants anything political, he must take it. You ought to receive the if you want to be-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. "LOOK WHO IS HERE." 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 of Ohio and the item was carried in a "box" on your first page under the caption of "Look Who Is Here!" Permit me to ask why an Afro-American should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or any other Republican state. The Republican party certainly owes everything to the Afro-American power on his back before the civil war and has been astiride his neck ever since. In the more than 40 years that I have been a close observer of political matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president 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 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 man as President that republicans in an Afro-American 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! 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, '22. 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 finance your campaign! Therefore, please find enclosed money order for ten dollars for that purpose. With best wishes for your success, I am Only Traitors to the Race Can Fall 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 favors 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, 1883. He is also the father of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Anti-Lynching law of which the Dyer 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 Congressman Knight (white) of Akron, also a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, in the daily press recently asked Carmi A. Thompson of Cleveland, another candidate, to agree to limit their campaign expenses to $10,000. 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. I have no one to look to for financial help but OUR people and the few white friends who have voluntarily come to our financial assistance. (Cut this out.)

All contributions will be published in The Gazette unless otherwise ordered by the contributor. the newspapers' bloody columns, filled with the accounts of the barbaric 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 record. So we have a man that we are not ashamed to have stand as our candidate, and can stand shoulder to shoulder with any in the race. We, who respect ourselves and are loyal to our race, can exercise or act 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 business men cannot, as few men, fail to do their duty, unless they have political "rings" in their noses" 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 a difference. There are 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. 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?" 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." Harry Clay Smith.

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? What it is free 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."

And unflinchingly face the smear or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON-TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, down itself the will of the world, will "Negroes 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 prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights to all, and to long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mas. 3). Guardian. ETTE After scribe After Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Persistent death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "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 temporally 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 shall be applied to the minimum value of the sum of the damages of the 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 may be distributed to the widow of the 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 legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 8.) 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 commissioner of a county, against which such recovery has 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. (98 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 repose of the victim, the killed, the lousy injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (98 v. 162 16.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed, and the judgment 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 disperse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for suicide or other offenses 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 and residence, citizen, except for reason applicable to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finet 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 persecutor, but only if he is arrested in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Overseas Court of Appeal. Our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outey for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals 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. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone, the world, with ignorant, insolent judgment, may conquer, the hearts of relatives may be sworn, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be swoter than the appliance of the world, the countenance of relatives or the hearts of friends"—Charles Summer.
