Please accept my sincere thanks for the same. If there ever was a time in all my life I would be out on the street. It is now, this day, during this campaign—to help land you in the nomination. Every colored man who has an ounce of brains should feel proud of you and work with all his might, mind and strength, without any other goal in sight, but to land the nomination for you and the race. I am hindered by serious illness from being out to render you the aid I would give. However, I shall try and go to the pills and give you my vote. And I would give you financial support, but poverty hinders me, as well as my infirmities. It is a great task to even write to you, for I can not master the pen, and this pencil has all but got me, also. However, I will send my prayers to God for your success for the race. You have my sincere wishes for success and the routing of any and all foes who are against your candidacy. Please accept this as a token from Your old time friends. Frisby E.

He has always had the support of most of his own race, and in cases where he has run for an office, where more than one candidate was to be elected he has received the support of many others.

Brown Attacks President Harding-Her Youngstown Failures-Wonderfully Successful Meetings for Our Candidate In Every Instance-On to Victory HARRY CLAY SMITH FOR GOVERNOR. Experienced Legislator—One of the Ablest of the Nine Candidates for the Republican Nomination. By Neval H. Thomas. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The eye of the nation will be focused on the President's state, next Tuesday, August 5th, when Ohio will choose the nominee of the Republican party for the governorship of the state. Harry Clay Smith is conducting a vigorous campaign in all parts of the state. The colored people are rallying to him, organizing Smith clubs and contributing toward the campaign expenses. They are filled with pride at the thought of having a Negro for governor of the state whose white rule they have supported lovingly for decades. The white candidates have the advantage of large funds from which they have been able to secure some support from a few Negro politicians. Mr. Smith is appealing to his race on his outstanding services to them. His one desire is to see the Negro absolutely free, enjoying every right that is given to white men, while the white candidates have been oblivious to such things as civil rights for Negroes. It is expected that a few Negroes would support white men, as they are more interested in other things than in the rights of their people. Mr. Smith has followed the time honored tradition of Negro statesmanship, namely service to the Negro by securing him every right the constitution guarantees. He knows that fundamental thing in statesmanship, that government cannot long endure unless its just lawsaws obeyed and every citizen is secure in his liberty. His splendid civil rights and anti-lynching laws which he fathered through the state legislature when he represented the Cleveland district are worthy of Robert Brown Elliot's immortal championship of Summer's civil right bill of the "seventies." Last election he ran for secretary of state and polled 61,081 votes. If the colored people rally this time, when the whites are divided among eight candidates, we will have this Negro, a second Foraker, at the helm of the state of Ohio. I am a life-long resident of the state of Ohio, and a voter there, and I appeal to the Negroes of the entire nation to aid in this common cause. I am asking all who wish to see the Negro rise to political power again where he functioned so efficiently, as James G. Blaine and other eminent statesmen testified to send contributions to Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Blackstone building, Cleveland, Ohio, and to write all colored voters of the state to be at the polls on August 5th. I must there will be but a pittance contributed and spent in comparison with the huge sums the white candidate are spending to keep this able and loyal race representative from the governor's chair, REMEMBER AUGUST THE 8TH. HALLIE STRIKES HARIBING, TOO HOUSE Candidate Knight But CORNER Her Abuse of Our Candidate—Rey Millie Mandy STATEMENT. YOUNGSTOWN. O.-Helen Q. Brown of Wilford came again last week Thursday evening, trying to boost the candidacy of that VIH-GENIA product, Carmi A Thompson. Like her first meeting when only four persons of color would sign to support Thompson after her appeal, this meeting last week, was also a failure, only 36 persons attending it and only TWO signing to support Carmi. She apologized for her incompetent attack on the Hon. Iriser Clay Smith when here the first time, saying she had been told "the miserable lies she repeated at that time in her speech." People here blame her, just the same because she was and is certainly old enough to know better. She said, personally, she knew nothing against Mr. Smith and did not for a moment question his ability to perform acceptably all the duties of a governor of Ohio. On her appeal for signatures for Candidate Carmi Thompson, she secured TWO, half the number she received when two weeks ago. She characterized Knight as a "Georgia rebel, dyed in the wool; born in Georgia," and took a fling at President Harding for accepting an invitation to ```markdown ``` ELE COPY FIVE CENTS OTE! ES ON OHIO! ! We Can and Must on Tuesday Attacks President. Harding—Her res—Wonderfully Successful or Our Candidate In ance—On to Victory dinner with "some unrepentant robber." Miss Brown spoke at Crow hall in East Youngstown, last Friday evening, and even fewer people than 36 went to hear her. She has certainly hurt herself in this section, "logrolling" for a white candidate and against one of her own race. Ament this, Rev. T. W. Mills, pastor of the Mahoning Ave. A. M. H. Zion church, and secretary of the local Harry Clay Smith for Governor club, says, in a signed statement to a local daily newspaper: "I am a full-blooded race man and one that never tried to get away from my race. I am very much enthused over having one of my own race as a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in the person of Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland. Why not not every man and woman, not only in Youngstown but in the entire state, go manly and womanly to the polls on Aug. 8th and go over the top for Smith. In order to do this we must eliminate from our ranks and file 'bats,' 'perhaps' and 'life.' This is what they are saying: 'If you vote for Smith you are throwing your vote away.' That is what we have been doing for the past 50 years. But in this case that is not true." The following is from the local (Youngstown) Daily Vindicator: "Miss Hallie Q. Brown, colored teacher in Wilberforce University, in speeches here went for Hon. Mr. Akron Knight almost like Tendler after Leonard. Miss Brown was impartial with her uppercuts, for she even smote President Harding." Miss Brown, would it not be well to select your rhetoric with more care since your idol, Mr. Carmi Thompson (a Virginian), is understood to be in the admiration of this same Harding-Mellon administration?" MANY ELYRIANS HEAR COLORED CANDIDATES. The address given, last evening, by the Hon. Harry Clay Smith, colored candidate on the Republican ticket for governor, drew a large audience to the city park and they were well repaid for their time spent in listening to him. Mr. Smith made a forceful talk on the issues of the campaign and asserted that he believed he had a first-class chance to secure the nomination. He called attention to the fact that he was backed by 200,000 colored voters throughout the state, and if half of them would get out and vote, Aug. 8, he would be nominated as the white vote is split up between too many (eight) other candidates. He counted on 5,000 white votes from Cleveland, and would get many others throughout the state. "My candidacy is no longer regarded as a joke," he asserted, "and I feel sure that I can fill the office as it should be filled, after six years' experience as a member of the Ohio Legislature." At the conclusion of his address Robert W. Pulley, candidate for sheriff, invited attention to the fact that he had been designated as a Democrat, by an Oberlin survey of the candidates. He declared he had never been anything but a Republican, and asked for the support of the voters. Mayor Jones then spoke and congratulated Mr. Smith on his exceptionally she addresses, and said the only reason he was not there in time to introduce him was because he was in attendance upon an important council meeting—Wilfrida (O.)

Day for state treasurer. Harry Clay Smith is one of our own group and it will show a wonderful lack of rare pride not to vote for him. Let us vote for him, Aug. 4th, and show those, who are want to discredit us, that we can vote to our own boat interest. Let us also cast our vote for Hon. Harry S.

Vote for our own candidate. Harry Clay Smith. --- The Ku Klux Klan issue has forced its way to the front in this campaign. Candidate Harvey C. Smith, Secretary of State, has been endorsed by that organization and other secret religio-political associations. --- Lenine is a nervous wreck. Tchitcherin, the soviet foreign minister, is a nervous wreck. Russia is an economic wreck, thanks to Lenine, Tchitcherin and Trotsky. Wreckage is the fruit of bolshevism. When Warren G. Harding first went to Marion, he rode a mule which his father was unable to sell because of the mule's bad reputation. The moral of which is that if a boy can ride an obstreperous mule, he has a good chance to become President. Every Afro-American minister in the state should on Sunday at each service urge our people to vote Tuesday, and thus do their bit to help win the Republican nomination for governor for our candidate. --- Mr. Harding to the Colored people: "You are not fit to hold office; you are black and ignorant; you have no character. Don't tell me about Colored people. I KNOW them."—Roscoe C. Simmons in Chicago Defender. President Harding never said anything of the kind. It is difficult for us to understand how even Roscoe could write such a thing so flagrantly untrue on its very face. --- The Luna Park management, retaining the position it has held every year in the past, refused on Tuesday to allow the swimming pool to be used by our people who went there that day. A hole in the concrete bottom, it was SAID, was the cause. That same hole, no doubt, is used to let the water out, whenever it is changed, and it has always been let out whenever our people have gone to Luna Park. A corollary to this most unusual situation comes in a report that fear is felt that there is a possibility of the nomination of the Negro candidate. Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, whose race has 150,000 (male) votes to deliver at a primary or general election. With nine candidates dividing what may turn out to be a small total vote, there is a possibility of this taking place. Two years ago Smith polled 61,081 votes for the nomination for the Secretary-ship of State—Sunday's Cincinnati Enquirer; Columbus correspondent, Jas. W. Faulkner. Mr. Faulkner is possibly the best informed political writer as well as the oldest Ohio correspondent (iirs of service) in the state. He is conservative, especially when treating subjects such as our candidacy. We have covered much of the state in our speaking campaign of the past few weeks and unless all signs fall there is considerable more than a "possibility" of our successful nomination at the primaries, next Tuesday. There is, however, some satisfaction to be derived from knowledge of the fact that the wise ones, both political leaders and political writers, frankly acknowledge the fact that there is a "possibility" of our people outvoting the too greatly divided white vote of the state on Aug. 8, 1922. The eight white candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, six of whom will run well together in the matter of vote getting, are going to cut that vote (white) in such a way as to make it not only possible but very probable that we will win. One thing said and that is we can do so IF WE WILL VOTE LARGELY because, with our women voting, we have considerably more than 150,000 votes in Ohio. Less than one-half of them will give us a total vote far in excess of that it is possible for any one of the eight white candidates to secure. Those who profess to know, just as Mr. Faulkner indicates, say that there is going to be a small vote at the primaries, Tuesday. There are many good reasons for this that are known generally. It will make our task all the easier if only our people will vote as they should. This is our opportunity and we may never again gain such a glorious one. Pass the word along the line, brother and sister; tell all to vote and vote right! It is a battle for the race, pure and simple, and we cannot afford to miss this wonderful chance of winning the greatest political victory in the history of the race in this or any other country. Show your interest in the race and your race pride and VOTE on Tuesday next and get every other member of the race, eligible, to do likewise. Harry Clay Smith. "LUNA PARK TOM." Ask any member of the old Ninth Oblity Battleion, 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, the latter even on days when our people so far forget their self and race respect as to go there on the "separate" day, like Tuesday, 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 the camp, and then tell it to all you meet. Councilman Tom Fleming insulted every self and race respecting Negro in the city when he went 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 was an "emancipation celebration." It really amounted 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. Boy) the most notorious Negro gambler, and worse, Cleveland has ever had in our time, did not stop 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 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 hirelings of the Thompson regime are spreading throut Ohio against our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. They (the dirty lies) are acting as a booerang thru no fault of the contemptible individuals who spread them however, but because they are so ridiculous, untrue, rotten and unbelievable 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. Go to W. H. W. price's store, No. 1684 E. Long St., for copies of The Gar ette. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O..

Editor Gazzette - Dear Sir: I am writing you to congratulate you on your campaign for the Republican gubernatorial candidacy this fall. In Ohio. I hope that every loyal man and woman of the race will feel that it is a privilege, as well as a DUTY to vote for so worthy a leader and, too, a member of our own race. It is an honor to vote for a man who for forty years has defended the race, from both press and platform, with credit to himself and honor to the race, which represented Cuyahoga County for six years in the 1920 Legislature and who was acknowledged master of the situation. Enclosed please find $1.00 to help "put you thru the gate" on Aug. 8, next Tuesday. Yours for success. (Rev.) C. D. Young. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Dr. and Mrs. Wm. P.

All Southern As Well As Northern Ohio Aroused as Never Before—Our Peoples' Slogan Everywhere is "We Will Win That Nomination"—Wonderful Meetings "BLACK BRIGADE" DEFIANT. Negro Voters Rap Hynicka Rule—Hon. Harry Clair Smith Heard. (Cin'tl. Enquirer, July 20, '22.) Twice assailed by old-time allies within a week has been the misfortune 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 Harry Clay Smith Harry Clay Smith 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 e supporting column of the faithful 'Black Brigade, as the solitary palms of Negro colonies in Chennai long has been called in admiration by Republican politicians, but, last night, Negro leader after leader arose and in wrathful eloquence poured forth his scorn 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 or woman!" excalled Rev. J. Franklin Walker, pastor of the church. We have never desired these nominations because of the job. What then 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 Wn. 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 Negro Improvement Association and the Hamilton County Negro Republican League. Mr. Smith spoke on "The Lily 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.—July 21, Friday evening, the park in the heart of this city was well filled with an enthusiastic audience that was about three-fourths (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 Rev. Hays, 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 astound his many white hearers who were certainly most generous with their applause as of course 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. 8, '22, because they are thoroly satisfied as to his ability to fill the oition and because of the excellent record he made when a member of the Ohio Legislature for six years. The contemptible lies, the low-browed Negroes who are supporting Carmel 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 lies, pure 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 Ohio Lowbrowed Negroes both men and women, are telling our people this daily thrust 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 delicious 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 throut Elyria in his beautiful new Buick "sport" roadster (maroon) worth nearly $2,000. Elyria Lorain and Oberlin windows are full of Mr. Smith's pictures and we are a day and night that success may own this race light. 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. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. CASTIGATES TOM FLEMING!

Editor Gazette, My dear Mr. Smith:—The Cleveland Association of Colored Mon, an organization of progressive citizens, founded and THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. AUGUST 5. 1922. Dwight R. Williams, Ass. Sec. The C. A. of C. M. —Adv ANOTHER WHITE FRIEND ON THE HONOR ROLL Washington, D. C., July 24, '22 Hon. Harry Clay Smith, M.D. 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 disconcerted because of campaign attacks or diverted, for a moment, from your campaign work by reason of the mud-thrown walls and your welcome come your good works. Sam Jones, the evangelist said: "A fice does not bark at a dead horse. It is a live horse going down the big road and making the dust 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 charter at your place." I strongly 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 we 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. 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 as "Negroes," and 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.)

Address ... All contributions will be published in The Gazette unless otherwise ordered by the contributor. 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, oestraise 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, they are our candidate. If we the W. M. N. invariably approaches one with that "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 pusillumious kind, and MAKE them think, talk and act differently—"for the good and welfare of the race." Be aware of the W. M. N. if we the masters 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 white masters, and we have 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). "FOOLISH NEGROES." Congressman Knight of Akron, also a candidate for the Republican 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 infall 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, polosonous 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 monarch, who wants 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 belong—at his door! As for the three "foolish" Negro men referred to—Scat! you dirty rattlesnakes! 1930 ROBERTA B. JAMES For years a GAZEETE Office Employee. CONTRIBUTES, TOO. Eaton, O., July 22, '22. Hon.

There are between 135,000 and 150,000 male Colored voters in Ohio and over 75,000 female, making in all over 200, .000 Colored voters in the state. Harry Clay Smith. 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. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race —Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading Me bu Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob on the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the minimum of one hundred dollars of the minimum 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 shall be distributed among the next according to the ratio of the distribution of the personality of the 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.

Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)

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 mastkeeping, the court may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob canse, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6229. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching or prosecution for homicide or assault or engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the fact that the 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 pastor or his employee, keeper or manager of a household or institutional acting 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 alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than thirty dollars, 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 persecuted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, and they must them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Mike Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactur- ered bill, a few messages of the Benny bill, a few statements of the Deacon Journal published an edi- torial 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 Appeals, is self explanatory: Akron, April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. the Gigante Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir, Observing your letter, my Dear Sir, Observing your letter, I venture to send you a letter a secret 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 to the truth, armenian and abomination, than any other sort of error in the world." "I honor the man who in the consecutions discharge of his duty darws to stand alone the world, with impassion, insistent judgment, man courage, the consecences of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be greater than the appliance of the world, the consecences of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
