A Denver Attorney, Visiting His Old Home, Sees It and is trying to Help Our People of Ohio. Wilberforce, O., July 29, '26. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor & Proprietor, The Gazette, 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. My Dear Sir: This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 20, also the copies of The Gazette, also the copies of you that after reading the copies, which you were so kind as to send me, I have distributed them around in the neighborhood here, and I am doing a little campaign work on my own account. While I have had no personal acquaintance with you, I have known you by reputation for many, many years. If I had the power, I would be delighted to name the Hon. Harry C. Smith as the Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio. I hate to see my race so stupid, so forgetful, and indifferent to their own civil and political interests when they have in their "movement" to take the state of Ohio by storm and nominate one of their own. Yet they are afraid to grasp the golden opportunity. Wishing you success in your campaign and praying that my people will wake up and put you over the top on the day of the primary in Ohio, I remain. Very truly yours, Thos. Campbell. THE WITTER BYNNER PRIZE! The Famous Award Won the Second Year in Succession by Afro-American Poets. New York City.—The first prize for the best poem, written by an under-graduate in an American university, has just been awarded to Langston Huges, for his poem "The House in Taos", a poem written by Mr. Hughes subsequent to the publication of his volume of verse, "The Weary Blues". Last year Countee Cullen won the coveted award. The prize is given each year by Written Bynner, the well known poet, and is one of the most important awards made in the United States. Entries are received from practically every college and university in the country, the number received usually exceeding three thousand. Additional Locals Harry Reich, candidate for the office of state representative on the Republican ticket, whom we have known personally for years, is a newspaper man and has been active in politics and fellowship. He stands the desires, needs and wants of the masses, and was instrumental in co-operating with our people toward the successful concert recital, last year, at masonic hall of Roland Hayes, the celebrated and beloved man, fair, upright and has no prejudices. Give him a vote. The Gazette recommends him, highly. Mrs. Maude W. Rhodes, well and most favorably known, has opened the Mary Jane Hostess house at 2180 E. E 33rd St.; 'phone, Gar. 815-M. Associated with Mrs. Rhodes is her sister, Mrs. Grace W. Brown, both expert caterers and chefs. There are none better, of any class or race in this city. Mesdames Rhodes and Brown are just as well experienced in housekeeping, too. The result is the Mary Jane Hostess store, and best places of the kind in the city. The Gazette recommends it highly to all. Be sure to read the Mary Jane Hostess house advertisement elsewhere in this paper. Popular Jim Shield is to return, next week, so we are informed by his associate in business, Mr. Irv Spritz. Mr. Shield left, some weeks ago, for Danville, Ill., and Elmira, N. Y., to open branch stores of the well-known Spritz Co., 2067 E. 9th St., this city. Finishing that important mission, just as successfully as he did his work abroad during the World War when in the A. E. F., Mr. Shield went on to New York City to get the latest, best and most attractive creations to replenish the largest stock of clothing he has bought to store. Go in next week, and meet our good friend after his weeks' absence and look over the many attractive things he has brought home with him. Yes, the editor of The Gazette will surely be there, too. Camp Tawasentha is the "Y" camp, two miles from Aurora. To get to it by auto, drive to Chagrin Falls and south through Bainbridge 3 miles farther to the "Y" camp. The camp has convenient shelter houses in case of rain and there is a sanitary water supply system and sewerage disposal facilities. The camp "consists of 8 cool boat stores, and there are 2 regulation baseball diamonds, 4 tennis courts and splendid swimming. Also acres of woods, providing the necessary shade. Cedar "Y" camp dates are Aug. 5-10—ten days for $11. Its program for the afternoons will include a vesper service conducted by Rev. W. B. Sutherland and a musical program of exceptional merit promoted by a special committee. Capt. Chas. E. Frye, ex-sec, of Cedar "Y", urges all to go to Camp Tawasentha and take along a backpack if you are able and a bedroom to call, spare him as soon as possible. If you are able to help finance some deserving boy's stay at the camp, let Sec. Frye know, immediately. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS EX-MAYOR NICHOLS OF MARION UNCOVERS COOPER'S TREACHERY In the Republican National Convention at Chicago That Nominated Warren G. Harding and Says He "Deserted and Betrayed the Trust" the People Placed in Him. Marion, O., Aug. 2, '26. Hon. Myers Y. Cooper, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Sir:—As a candidate for Governor you are asking the Republicans of Ohio to accept in good faith your political integrity and political honesty. Not in the state of Ohio is there a loyal Republican who can forget your reprehensible record at the memorable Republican national convention in Chicago, six years ago, when you, as an elected delegate, under solemn oath to support the candidacy for the Presidential nomination of the late lamented Warren G. Harding, deserted him and betrayed the trust that the people had placed in you. In politics, one's word must be one's bond. The record and past performance of a candidate is the lamp that must guide party associates in judging a candidate's political honesty and right to claim party support. In 1920, you were a delegate to the Republican national convention. As such delegate you made a solemn pledge to the voters of the first congressional district and of Hamilton county to support the candidate for President who received a majority of the votes in your county and district. You were also instructed by the Hamilton county committee to support the candidate carrying that county and district. The Hon. Warren G. Harding carried both Hamilton county and your nomination. You were a member of the Chicago convention, of course, as a Harding and not a Wood delegate. For the first five ballots you voted for Harding, and then together with Rudolph Hynicka, the other delegate from your district, deserted him and voted for Leonard Wood. You continued your 40 MYERS Y. COOPER MYERS Y. COOPER treachery to Ohio's honored son throughout the 6th and 7th ballots. On the 8th ballot, when it was apparent to every person in the convention hall that Harding would be nominated, you, with your political boss, snaked back onto the Harding band wagon. Had you been aware to the authorities, your constituents you never would have wavered for a single instant. You would have cast your vote not only upon that fateful sixth ballot for Warren G. Harding but upon the one hundred and sixth ballot, if necessary. But you did waver; you did betray the trust. Yet you no ware before the same people whom you betrayed, and the state where the memory of Warren G. Harding remains dear to a devoted citizenry, asking them to forget your treachery and your duplicity and make you their stand- Governor a prominent occasion. ableitz hope the time, ma propriatel gram.

We are wondering if some people can NOW see why The Gazette has for many months kept standing on its fourth page its "SEGREGATION AN OUTRAGE" articles which were specially written for this paper by the most fearless, most manly and loyal Afro-American at the nation's capital. This paper took the lead in that matter and for many months was alone in its public protest to President Coolidge against the contemptable, insulting practice. Month after month it publically called upon the race press and our "national" organizations to take up the fight in behalf of the rac IN-UNION IS STRICTLY COPY FIVE CENTS OPER! IN CANDIDATE OF MARION UNCOVERS TREACHERY National Convention at Chicago en G. Harding and Says "Betrayed the Trust" laced in Him. WARREN G. HARDING ard bearer, this fall—candidate for Governor. Under the circumstances and in the face of your record, do you expect the support of loyal and devoted friends of the late lamented Senator John McCain to your word to the Republicans, today, worth more than your pledge to your Republican constituents in 1920? During the incumbency of the next Governor of Ohio the beautiful and imposing Harding metaphorically spelled out the nation to Ohio's beloved son, will be dedicated at Marlon. The COOPER Governor may be expected to take a prominent part on this eventful occasion. The decent and respectable citizenship of Ohio doubtless hope the Governor of Ohio, at this time, may be one who could appropriately participate in this program. Yours truly, C. J. Nichols, (Former Mayor City of Marlon) Atty. Joseph B. Sieber of Akron was the acknowledged candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, two years ago, of the Ohio Ku Klux Klan and is one of their four candidates, this year. Mr. Sieber does not deny this. The other candidate are Myers Y. Cooper, Thad, H. Brown and Ross J. Buchanan, and they do not deny it. and it was many months before any of them made a move toward doing so. Now comes the National Equal Rights league and performs a duty that our country should not be slow to recognize and give unstinted praise, particularly Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, its secretary and moving spirit. It is time, too, and has been for a long time, for others of our "national" organizations and race publications to awaken to a full sense of their responsibility in the matter and give our people some aggressive action against federal segregation. We are not going to get any easier rights and privileges are concerned, until we are far more active in our own behalf. --- KILL EM ALL! DON'T SHOW ANY MERCY!

SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1926. Lookout! There are four K. K. K. candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, and do not let any one tell you differently. Read carefully, thoughtfully and thoroughly this copy of The Gazette and tell your friends and acquaintances about it—before you go to the polls to vote, next Tuesday. Particularly, page 4. Local Afro-Americans should vote en masse, Tuesday, for their own candidates—Harry C. Smith, for Governor; Wm. R. Green, Harry E. Davis and Chester K. Gillespie, for members of the Ohio Assembly. Do your clear duty to the race! Before you vote for that man James O. Mills of Columbus, a candidate for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor, ask any of our people there how he treats them when they attempt to enter one of his restaurants in that city. Judge Frank W. Geiger of Springfield, a candidate for a Republican nomination for judge of the state supreme court, aligned himself, several years ago, with the Kluxers of his city when they were trying in vain to establish the "jim-crow" Fulton school of Springfield. Americus, Georgia's leading citizens (white) are now trying to crucify, from an official standpoint, Captain Colby (white) of our 24th U. S. Infantry because he was manly enough to expose the recent brutal and inexecutable murder of Private M. Smith, one of the most infensive members of that regiment by an Americus, Georgia "cracker". Who was it that said: as between hell and Georgia give me the former? The Ohio Ku Klux Klan is trying to "gobble up" the Republican party of this state just like it did, a few years ago, in the case of the state of Indiana; only to finally lose out there. The Ohio Klan has it is said, endorsed Sleeper, Brown, Cooper and Buchanan, for Governor; Mills, for lieutenant-governor; Joseph E. Cross, for secretary of state, and Bert J. Buckley, for state treasurer. "The Negro World" of New York City, organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of which Marcus Garvey is the head, last week carried almost a full page advertisement, commending Joseph B. Sieber of Akron, one of the four Ku Klux candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor. Wonder if this is a result of Mr. Garvey's visit, several years ago, to Grand Imperial Wizard Simmons of the Ku Klux Klan, or the Knights of the Invisible Empire, in Atlanta, Ga. Judge Frank W. Geiger of Springfield is a candidate for a Republican nomination for judge of the supreme court of Ohio. This is the man, who as a common plea judge of Springfield, Clarke county, Ohio, made our people of that city so very much trouble and held them back so long in their fight against the "jim-crow" Fulton "public" school which the Ku Klux Klan and its following in Springfield, sought for many, months to establish there, several years ago; but in vain. Do not vote for Geiger! Since Senator Borah's recent outburst in Georgia against the "Negro's" rights, under the 14th and 15th amendments of the U. S. Constitution, the "smart leading Negroes" of Washington, D. C., who invited this same "anti-Negro" Borah to address an audience of our people in that city, some months ago, certainly must feel very cheap. They ought to have their heads examined. The Idaho senator has THE GEEVUM GIRLS always been obnoxiously pro-southern when it comes to prejudice against our people's exercising their full rights as American citizens. "THE BIRTH (GRAF) OF A NATION". Hon. Edward C. Turner of Columbus, one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for attorney general of Ohio, when prosecuting attorney of Franklin (Columbus) county kept Atty, Wilbur E. King, a member of the race of that city, in his office as a chief assistant for four years, two terms. When Mr. Turner was attorney general of the state (for two years—one term); he had in his office as special counsel. Ted Green, another member of the race. Even better than the foregoing is the singularly strong and effective argument he willingly made, when attorney general of the state, against the showing in Ohio of the vicious, malicious and infamous photoplay, "The Birth (Rape) of a Nation". The only way we can retain such real friends of the race is by giving them generous support whenever it is possible. Now is the time to show Mr. Turner how we feel toward him as a result of his good work for the race. WE CAN WIN! With twelve candidates in the field for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio our people have the best chance to win, this year, they have ever had. It is the merest nonsense to say or think we cannot win if we but pull together and vote, likewise, for our candidate. Ohio Afro-Americans have fifty thousand more votes in this state than will be needed, this time, to nominate our candidate. All that is necessary is for about two thirds of our more than two hundred thousand Ohio Afro-American voters to go to the polls, Tuesday, and do their clear duty to the race for whom our candidate is but leading the fight or contest. White politicians and their "Negro" political slaves will of course tell you differently but pay no attention to them and go to the polls and vote right, vote for your own interests, those of our people. You have thrown away your vote, many times, voting for white candidates for Governor and other state and local offices. Now vote for one of your own whenever you have the opportunity. MYERS Y. COOPER. KLAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVER- NOR. Especially to those "boss-riddem" slaves (of color) of the political organizations in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo we commend, for careful reading, the open letter/in this paper to Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, one of the four Ku Klux Klan candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, Jos B. Sieber of Akron, Thad, H. Brown of Columbus and Ross J. Buchanan of Carrollton being the other three, written by Ex-Mayor C. J. Nichols of Marion. It is most illuminating indeed, and the statements made in it are facts still clear in the memories of those, like the writer, who were in Chicago at the time, as well as the thousands of loyal Republicans who were home here in Ohio watching carefully the trend of political events in that national convention. Myers Y. Cooper's treachery to Warren G. Harding is only equalled by his acceptance of an endorsement of his candidacy by the Ku Klux Klan, an organization that swears its members to an allegiance to it over and above that to their government and country. "Negroes," who can support such a candidate, at the behest of political bosses or others, especially with a candidate (for the same nomination) of their own race in the field, are not only pitifully lacking in loyalty to the race and in self respect and race pride, but are apparently "past redemption." One of its tenets and the main basis of the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, or Knights of the Invisible Empire, is its opposition to the political progress of "Negroes," Catholics, Jews and foreign-born or naturalized Americans. In our case, they are, additionally, opposed to our social, civil and industrial progress. These are too well-known facts to even invite discussion and yet there are "Negroes" in Ohio, today, who at the behest of white political bosses are "working their heads off" for Myers Y. Cooper, an admitted candidate of the Ku Klux Klan for the Republican nomination for Governor, with one of their own race a candidate for the same nomination. O, the pity of it! Of course, at the bottom of their political activity is the bosses' promise of a money consideration, or political preferment in the future which seldom if ever materializes. Gulity of this very thing are hundreds of so-called male and female "Negroes" who are looked upon as more or less leading members of the race in their various communities. Where is this race of ours ever going to get in the progress-parade with this sort of thing always hampering its efforts to go forward? Scores of our ministers, too, are as guilty of the charge as are thousands of laymen. Lord, have mercy! Let the loyal of the race, those who have some self and race respect and pride, lay the verbal lash on every boss-ridden "Negro" he meets, between now and Tuesday, August 10, 1926, doing the bidding of his or her white political master, supporting the Kluxer candidates, Cooper, Brown, Sieber or Buchanan.

BE TICKLED S HOW WE'VE THINGS FOR EVERYING! HE'LL THINK HE'S BACK ON THE FARM! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1926. Dayton withdrew from our National League, last week Monday. The Cubans are also expected to leave, this week. This leaves six clubs in the League to finish the season. A large number of American Woodmen went to Detroit, last week, to attend the annual district convention. Sunday night local A. U. K. and D. of A. left for Chicago to attend their annual encampment. St. John's choir rendered its first twilight musicale of the season, Sunday night week. T. M. Farlice, Jr., basso, Margaret Baker and St. John's gospel quartet were featured by the choir. Miss Dorothy Bush sang well the obligato in "Love Divine and All Love Excelling". Mrs. B. O. Smith, of Birmingham, Ala., recently visited her brother, Eugene Lewis, E. 90th St., who is recovering from a serious operation. She went to Detroit, then to Chicago and from there to Wilberforce to get her son, Benjamin, who graduated from the university, this summer. Rumor is it that the business meeting at Shiloh Baptist temple, last week Monday evening, was a hot one. "The brothers from Louisville", who wanted to have the church let them have the mortgage now held by the Union Trust Co., were treated "kinda" rough, it is said. Our local doctors, promoting a "jim-crow" hospital for Cleveland, have announced for October a $200-000 drive and a "tag and button day" for this month, but are going to get fooled, if they think the local general public is going to "fall" for their "bunk". Thoughtful "Negroes" of this community do not want any "jim-crow" hospital for the public to support. If those doctors must have one, let them finance it, themselves. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, the only one of the twelve Republican candidates for Governor residing in Cleveland and only one candidate for a state office, will make his closing speech of the campaign, Saturday evening, at a mass meeting in Campbell, formerly East Youngstown, O. Atty. Julius, city solicitor of Campbell, drove to Cleveland, Monday afternoon, to extend Editor Smith the invitation to be the speaker of the evening at the mass meeting there, Saturday evening. The local Republican organization has endorsed Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, one of the four Ku Klux Klan candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor. He has never held public office and therefore is not fit for the place. If he is nominated, Gov. A. V. Donahay will surely defeat him and easily, too. Do not vote for Cooper! Be loyal and vote for our own candidate. Mrs. Nell C. Ransom, dramatic soprano, well known here, recently appeared in Detroit for a literary club (white), being presented by Mrs. Kathryna Fueston (white), one of the most prominent women of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford were among the guests of the Mrs. Ransom was most enthusiastically received. Mme.

Carpenter, Republican candidate for judge of the court of common pleas, for the six year term, has practiced law continuously for nearly twenty-five years, the last fifteen years in Cuyahoga county. He was born on “the banks of the Wabash”, at Wabash, Indiana, Dec. $rd, 1879. He practiced law ‘about ten’ years in his native city and was elected two terms, on the Repub- lican ticket, to Serve as county prosecuting attorney. In 1905, Mr. Carpenter married Florence Hatha- way, a Cleveland girl. They have three daughters, Lucile, Margaret and Priscilla. While attending Hi- ram College, he won a national reputation as a great basket-ball player, He was captain of the Hi- ram team that won games from Yale and all Ohio college teams. Mr. Carpenter has been president of the Hiram College alumni association since June, 1925, having recently been re-elected for a second time. He has always been a Republican. the primaries, next Tuesday. Pass the ‘word along—Eqgers for the Republican ‘nomination. for. sheriff. The Waechter und Anzelger, Ger- man-American daily, which holds powerful influence among the Ger- man voters, is expected to indorse Eggers’ candidacy. It has always been for Kohler previously.

Reasons Why He Should Be Nomi- nated a¥ the Republican Can- didate for County Commis- sioner—“The Gazette” Rec- ‘commends Him. | (Because—George A, Newman be- lieves in the rule of good common sense and sound business judgment. — Because—George A. Newman's hands are not tied by any man or set of men, so that he will render honest service wthout fear or favor. Because—George A. Newman be- lieves in good roads and the elim- ination of grade crossings. Because—George A. Newman's administration will not consist of loud talk just before election, but deeds while in office. Because—George A. Newman be- lieves that a public servant should bend bis or her best thought and effort to serve the people who pay the freight, not the political bosses. Mr. Newman was born in Lake- wood, O., in 1872 and has lived there’ ever since. His grandfather, Thomas Newman, an English min- ister, settled with his family in what is now the city of Lakewood in 1842. Mr. Newman's father, James T. Newman, was one of the pioneer newspaper men of Cleve- land, and was associated with the Edwin Cowles newspaper, which finally merged with the Cleveland Leader. Mr. Newman’s mother was of the old Armstrong family of Og- densburg, N. Y., of Scotch and Irish ancestry. Afier completing _ his education in Lakewood and Cleve- land Public Schools, Devereaux Hall and Caton’s Business College he assisted his father in the devel- opment of what is now the J. T. Newman estate with property on Detroit, Franklin and Newman ‘Aves, ‘He has been a trustee of that estate for twenty-one years. Mr. Carpenter is a member of the Cleveland, Ohio State and American Bar Associations, as well as the Masonic orders, K. of P., Knights of Malta, High Noon and Cleveland clubs, The Citizens league and Cleveland Real Estate board, and a member of the board of the Buclid Ave. Christian church. There are five’ Republican candidates for the six year term of common pleas judge, four to be nominated and elected. We believe the Republi- cans of this county will do well in selecting Mr. Carpenter as one of the four nominees for this most im- portant position as he is well quali- fied by reason of long, continuous general practice of law, and is a man of the highest integrity, who would give everyone a ‘square deal’.’ ‘The Gazette recommends Attor- ney Carpenter to our voters in the strongest possible manner. He will make the kind of judge we need and want because he is a gentle- man and a real friend of the race. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0.
