A twenty-year search for Mary M. E. Fields, widow ofidian Romer Fields, conducted by members of the G. A. R., ended, last week, when she was found living at 9716 North Blvd. Her husband, who died in 1905, settled in Cleveland after the Civil War, and during his forty years' residence came to be known, locally. He was a member of the regiment massacred at Ft. Lewis, where his fort was captured hundreds of our soldiers were shot down "in cold blood". Others escaped to the Ohio river only to be shot also as they swam. Three of the regiment are said to have escaped. One of them was Dan. Fields.

ROSS TO DIE! The Board of Clemency Refuses to Commute Death Sentence—Gov. Donahey! County Prosecutor Stanton, in a letter, last week Friday, to the Ohio Board of Clemency, refused to recommend mercy for Emmanuel Ross, age 17, under sentence of death for the murder of Isidore Steeck, last November. Stanton, however, informed the board that it was chiefly through state's evidence furnished by Ross that his companion, King Young, was convicted of the same crime. The jury, in finding Young guilty, recommended mercy, but no recommendation was received by the judge. Verdict against Ross, and Young, who is much older than Ross, led the latter into the unfortunate affair. Atty. Louise Pridgeon was in Columbus, Tuesday, representing our local Federation of Women's clubs. She appeared before the State Board of Clemency in behalf of Emanuel Ross, age 17, presenting the Board with a petition, said she had 40,000 votes. Their clemency for the youth condemned to die in the electric chair, this week Friday. The petition declares that Ross' record was clean, otherwise; that he was ignorant, that Young induced him to shoot, and that he (Ross) is too young to be electrocuted. Ross was convicted of misduring Steeck in his Central Ave. grocery, last November, when Ross and King Young took bobbing action. And by Ross of being the leader, was 32 years of age and received a life sentence as the result of Ross' evidence, voluntarily given. County Prosecutor Edward C. Stanton refused to recommend clemency for Ross, but told the clemency board that the boy turned state's evidence. If Ross goes to the chair he will be the youngest person to be electrocuted in Ohio. The Board of Clemency refused Ross clemency and the saving of his life was up to Gov. Donahey who, some weeks ago, refused to commute Ross' death death.

MOTON RE-ELECTED President of Our National Business League—The Unable to Attend On Account of Illness—Other Officers Elected—Senator Willis Welcomes Delegates. While the attendance upon the 27th annual meeting of our National league was not near that expected, an interesting and beneficial gathering was held in Cleveland, last week. Dr. Robert R. Moton, of DR. ROBERT R. MOTON. DR. ROBERT R. MOTION. Tuskegee, ARIA, who succeeded Booker T. Washington as president of the league, though illness detained him at home, was re-elected president. John L. Webb of Hot Springs, Ark., was re-elected first vice-president. He presided over the sessions, last week. Other officers re-elected included Dr. J. R. Levy, Florence, S. C.; George W. Franklin, Chattanooga, Tenn., and Mrs. Geo. W. Brown, vice-presidents; A. L. Lewis, Jacksonville, Fla. treasurer; A. L. Holsey, secretary; Rt. Rev. I. B. Walls, Raleigh, N. C., chaplain; C. C. Spaulding, Durham, N. C., chairman, executive committee. U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis welcomed the delegates in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium, last week Wednesday evening, and captivated the large audience. He said, in part: "I believe in the sensible, practical, forward looking program represented by this meeting. In all history there is no parallele to the progress which your race has made. America in the last fifty years. Ninety-five readers and writes. You have 500 colleges and normal schools, 48,000 teachers, 2,000,000 school pupils, 47,000 churches and spend $37,000,000 a year for education." The Senator was introduced by State Representative Harry E. Davis, who said America is the only place in the world where our people have gained an economic foothold, except on the coast of Africa. "There are 12,000,000 Afro-Americans in the country, and it is business of this league to organize the purchasing power which they represent." Mayor John D. Marshall stressed the fact that our people deserve of the government equal opportunities and privileges with all other races. "Our business men have made very substantial progress, through co-operation, this year, in spite of some failures." Dr. Moton said in a telegram, "C. said paulding of Durham, N.C. chairman of the executive committee, presided. He is president of the North Carolina Life Insurance Co., now said to be our largest business undertaking in the country." "Nick" Has a Rival Cincinnati, O.—Dr. E. Duval Colley, our leading local physician, was circulating petitions, Monday, as an independent candidate for Congress. Dr. Colley is opposing the Hon. Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the U. S.

He intends to address every one of our churches in Cincinnati upon his return from the Sesquil-Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THEIR PARADE WAS A WONDER FIFTY THOUSAND DELEGATES AND VISITORS IN ATTENDANCE. U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis Greatly Pleases All With a Fine Address of Welcome to Ohio—City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins Welcomes All to the City—Brilliant Grand Ball— Officers Elected, Etc. . Delegates to the Elks' national meet, which formally opened Monday, and their friends began to arrive, last week Friday and Saturday, and by Sunday hundreds of them were here. Mt. Zion Cong. church was crowded, Sunday evening, to hear the annual sermon of the twenty-seventh grand lodge of the order, delivered by Rev. Geo. A. Avant of Durham, N. C., grand chaplain of the organization. Monday morning saw thousands of members and friends in the city, and the day after Mason Auditorium they were welcomed by City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis and others. Several very fine bands were brought to the city, one of the best of which, The Excelsior band of Norfolk, Va., giving a concert in Public Square at noon, Monday. The outstanding feature of the auditorium meeting was the splendid address of Senator Willis, welcoming the Elks and their friends in Ohio. It made a last-minute opportunity to appear in the audiences and has been most favorably and generally commented upon by all who heard it, through the week. Among other things, the Senator said: "Colored people in the last fifty years have made more rapid progress than any other race ever made in a similar period of time. Today, all over the country, they own more than 70,000 factories, stores and business houses. Their business ventures amount to over $2,000,000, and they own seventy-four banks. Their farm holdings, if spread out in one piece, would cover the entire state of South Carolina. The first two heroes awarded honor medals in the world war were colored men. The colored race never gave birth to a traitor or an anarchist." "But why should they not be loyal? For," cried judge Hueston, "we have never taken the first to shed blood in Boston, in America's fight for liberty." City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins declared, in welcoming the Elks and their friends to the city, that Cleveland was a city of freedom wherein a diversity of races had come to live and enjoy life and progress. "They are not matter who you are or where you are from," he insisted eloquently. "It is what you are and what you can do." Editor J. Finley Wilson, of the Washington, D. C., Eagle, grand exalted ruler, and Mrs. Laura E. Williams, grand daughter ruler, made responses. "We are alive and happy on the finest of the world," declared Editor Wilson in voicing appreciation of the city's welcome. "There is no clime, no habitat, no cosmopolitan centre of Europe, Asia, Africa, America, north or south, nor in the islands of the sea where a black man may be such a free man as he can be in Cleveland, O." It drew attention to the fact that it was an Ohio college that first admitted students of the race, and that it was in Ohio that our first college was founded. All four-speakers were interrupted frequently by wave upon wave of aplaeuse from the men and women, who filled every seat in the hall and stood tier on tier around the walls in the back. Others who spoke were Ex-Senator John P. Green, Hoor, part of Hewlett-Packard adviser of the order, Washington, D. C.; Rev. George W Avant, grand chaplain, Durham, N. C.; Rev. Russell S. Brown, Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming and Mrs. Emma V. Kelly. After this meeting the delegates divided into two groups. One boarded the giant motor-buses for a tour of the city and others went to a baseball game at Hooper Field. In the evening the delegates and their friends were entertained at the street curral at Coralau, a reception and dance in the Masonic Auditorium, in cabarets E. in 55th St., at E. 37th St. and Woodland Ave., and at a boxing show given in Taylor bowl. The private sessions of the grand lodge opened, Tuesday, the men meeting in Mt. Zlon Cong, church and the women of the church in Mt. Zlon Church, J. Fiskil Wilson, G. E. R. presided over the former and Mrs. Laurea E. Williams of Roanoke, Va., G. D. R., presided over the latter. Shortly after the meeting opened, Judge Hueston reported that the committee on education, of which he is chairman, planned to hold a meeting for the schooling of needy and deserving children of the order's members.

Following the morning business sessions, the delegates assembled for a grand procession, the most spectacular of the meet. At 1:30 p. m. the head of the parade left E. 55th St. and Central Ave., marched down Central to E. 22nd St. north to Carnegie Ave, east to 100th St. and south to Ubisoft, auburns 100th St. band, a number of colorful floats featured the parade in which about twenty thousand loyal Elks participated. Fezzes and ties of purple and gold, and costumes of white made a moving mass of color as the procession swung along its way to martial music played by about fifty bands. Major John C. Fulton, grand marshal, with twenty mounted assistants, and Traffic Commissioner Donahue and sixteen officers were in the lead. Grand officers and the two local lodges followed, of which the lodges from all parts of the country were in the minder of the parade. At Carnegie Ave. and E. 100th St. grand officers and about twenty city officials reviewed the exceptional spectacle. It took two hours for the parade to pass the official grand stand. A more diversified parade has seldom been seen in this city, Carnegieyahoga and King Tut, local lodges, were led by a white float with the white elk of Glenara temple. The mother lodge of Cincinnati drew loud applauses. It was established in 1842 and is carried by the male Elks from Akron. Bands played and drums majors strutted. Crowds cheered all along the entire route. The drum major of the Washington lodge band which played in Public square, Monday noon, had an individual strut and some original antics that brought cheers from the spectators. A friendly airplane, flying a few hundred feet above Carnegie Ave. lent interest to the spectacle. "Miss Charleston", a young lady leading the lodge from Charleston, S. C., was cheered wildly because of her beauty and poise. The Monarch band of New Yorkshire dogs from the country's finest. In the evening, the visitors, Elks and their friends, were entertained at cabarets in E. 55th St. and Woodland Ave. and at a smoker at I. O. O. F. Hall, E. 55th St. Wednesday's sessions were enlivened by the spirited contest for grand exalted ruler between the present encumbent, J. Finley Wilson and Magistrate Edward Henry on Philadelphia. The four wives were recourse and on the exceptional record he has made in the upholding of the organization since he has been its guiding officer. Reports revealing the Elks' continued phenomenal growth, the past year, the G. E. R.'s annual address, and much other valuable information was given to the delegates at the sessions, during the day. The wives were elected and re-elected also. In the past four years, the Elks have increased from 184 to 708 lodges, 150 to 422 temples (womens' lodges) and 30,000 to 130,000 members. Over 150 juvenile lodges have been organized. Lodges have been founded in Cuba, Jamaica, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Porto Rica, and Bahamas. The adult industry fund to be established, was debated. Wednesday. At noon, the great Monarch Band, which won the Elks' annual band contest without even playing for it, gave a concert of classical and popular selections, in the public square, that captivated the thousands of citizens of all classes or groups that stood for hours listening to it and the musicians performing. Wednesday DC that followed with another concert almost as high class. The program arranged by the entertainment committee for the concluding days of the convention, included in addition to nightly cabarets, a boat excursion on the steamer "City of Erie". Wednesday afternoon, a grand ball in public hall, Wednesday night, and it was a brilliant affair; a reception and tea, official sightseeing, a mardi gras parade and a smoker, Thursday, and a pilgrimage to the two local Country clubs and "On-Erie-Beach", Saturday. Official photographs of the grand lodge and temples were taken, late Wednesday, before the boat excursion and, Wednesday night, the famous Monarch Band, our largest in the country, provided music for the grand ball at public hall. Business sessions and festivities continued until today (Saturday), when the convention closes. There were 20,000 delegates in the parade. Nearly all of the grand officers were re-elected.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1926. We do hope our people of Cincinnati will rally to the support of Dr. E. Duval Colley's candidacy for Congress. He is a choroly loyal member of the race and competent. There is absolutely no question as to that. Do your clear duty, Cincinnati Afro-Americans. --- "Tiger" Flowers won his battle by so large a margin that they could not cheat him out of the victory as some were "all set" to do. What the fool-American prejudice will make some people do is one of the wonders of the world to every other country on the face of the earth. U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis was on hand, last week, to welcome our National Business league and again, this week, to welcome the thousands of delegates in attendance upon the annual national meet of our Elks. He doesn't believe in sending a substitute like some of America's statesmen. Senator, intelligent Afro-Americans notice such things and do not forget them. Along about the middle of November next, we will tell those members of the race in Ohio who voted for the white candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, on Aug. 10, 1926, how they "throw away" their votes. Many of them said they did not vote for our own candidate because they did not want to "throw away" their votes. And he ran fifth in twelve, beating seven white candidates, without their votes. Some one ought to tap them on the head and awaken their dormant race loyalty, if they have any. STANTON'S REFUSAL. County Prosecutor Edward Stanton, who is seeking re-election at the November election, refused, last week, to recommend mercy for Emanuel Ross, 17 year-old youth, recently sentenced to the electric chair on a charge of murder, when asked to do so by our local Federation of Women's clubs and others who are endeavoring to have Emanuel's sentence reduced to at least life imprisonment by the Ohio Board of Clemency. An older man, by the name of Young, who enticed young Ross into the unfortunate affair (murder), was convicted chiefly on state's evidence, furnished by Ross, and sentenced to life-imprisonment, instead of the electric chair, as a result of the jury's recommending mercy when they brought in the verdict of guilty. In view of the fact, Emanuel voluntarily assisted Stanton to convict Young, it seems to any unbased person that, following the usual rule in such court-cases, Stanton ought not to have hesitated to recommend mercy for Ross to the Ohio Board of Clemency. We sure would like to know his reason or reasons for refusing and shall appreciate any effort upon the part of either Mr. Stanton or any of our Women's Federation of clubs to turn it. In asking this, we have in mind the county prosecutor's lamentable failure to take the interest in the bombing of Dr. Chas. L. Garvin's home, in recent months, he took in that of a somewhat similar case (white) where lives were not jeopardized as they were twice in the case of the Garvin home. The county prosecutor's writing the Board of Clemency, this week, calling their attention to Ross' aid in the conviction of Young softens his refusal some, we admit, but not enough to appease thousands of our voters in this community who feel that, in all fairness, he should have written the Board of Clemency recommending mercy, as requested by our Federation of Women's clubs and other members of the race in this city. THE GEEVUM GIRLS The U. S. senate does not consider seriously the rights and citizenship of American Negroes. No attempt within the last fifty years has been executed by this nation to place Negro citizens on par with other American citizens, native or foreign born. The popular branch of the National Congress has attempted and passed some bills which, if they had been enacted into laws, would have benefitted the Negro group THE BOSTON EDITOR REV. WM. A. BYRD. considerably. The senate on the other hand has been obdurate and ill-concerned. Many senators, elected in violation of the spirit and provisions of the Constitution, have been allowed to retain their seats, questioned. The recent large primary campaign expenses have caused much discussion and a determination to prevent such a situation from taking place in these primaries and the malicious nullification of federal Constitution provisions there is no comparison, so far as venal politics are concerned. The present commotion over the prohibition enforcement, / compared with the winking at the non-enforcement of the franchise amendments, passed in the interest of Negroes, shows this country basically hypocritical and governmentally unfair to the zenziest states. The state of Washington change this state of affairs. A senator, from any Negro votes count, that is indifferent or passive toward the rights of Negro citizens, should be opposed and defeated, if possible. Senators seeking re-election, who have done not to correct the injustice maintained by the South against Negro citizens, should be defeated. U.S. senators in the future must give the negroes of the presidency, as affects Negroes in Illinois and Missouri, New York, can determine the election. Negroes are their worst enemies, if they refuse to use the weapon given them. Republicists use the weapon given them in the future, so far as Negro franchise being protected. Senatorial courtesy means the South is permitted, without interference, to do with Negro citizens, from states where Negro votes were "on the job", conditions would change. Senators that care nothing for us, after being elected, should not be permitted to return to that body. Party label is used by many senators, simply for election purposes. These should be retired now. Since Negroes are both Democrats and Republicans in these states, all should unite in supporting the senators that support our cause in the senate. U.S. senate means nothing to us now. There are senators who ring true and they are useful to our cause and deserve our support. The others are of no service to us. As Negroes, we must be a unit in the fight for our American full and equal citizenship rights. Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 23, '26.

Boston Mass,—Paddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, declared, Tuesday: "There will be no Dempsey-Tunney fight in Philadelphia. The champion will not fight anyone anywhere until he keeps his agreement to meet Wills. I have one trump card—a contract signed by Dempsey to meet Wills in Chicago in September of this year. This contract prevented the Dempsey-Tunney battle in Chicago, stopped it in New York and will play part in the Philadelphia proceedings. I have been offered $50,000 to surrender this piece of paper but I wouldn't take a million dollars for it." Hurrah! for Paddy. Willis is here from exhibition joust with Jeff Clark. New York City. —Theodore "Tiger" Flowers retained the middleweight title in Madison Square Garden, last week Thursday night, by earning the decision over Harry Greb after fifteen rounds of the hottest fighting ever seen in a championship scrimmage. Flowers won seven rounds. Greb took four and four were just about even. Over 15,000 people paid $75,176 to witness the night. There was not a great deal to choose between them for seven rounds. The first two were even, the second four, the fourth, Flowers the fifth, the sixth was a tosse-up and Greb won the seventh. After that Greb began to slow down, to tire, and held for dear life in the clinches. He kept his eye on the huge clock which clicked off the rounds and tried to steal rounds by putting on fast finishes. But the old stamina was lacking. He tried to save up something for the last couple of rounds and he did keep enough in reserve to win the fourteenth. The fourth could get was an even break. Harry came out of the ring with a cut over each eye. He suffered a slight gash alongside the left optic in the fourth, and Flowers got a cut over his left eye in the same round. In the thirteenth Harry got a gash over the right eye. Both appeared to be in good shape for the fight. Greb scaled at 159 and Flowers was just a quarter of a pound heavier. Harry seemed highly confident. Maybe he was right. Maybe he and down Broadway that if it was at all close he would be handed the verdict. In spite of all the loose talk, Flowers was a 7 to 5 favorite. The referee voted for Greb (of course) but the two judges decided in the Tiger's favor. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED! an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required.

Our readers will oblige us great, and we will send them to persons in the cities named, and others in the state to whom we can write relative to the matter. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND 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 and are two years of universal discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are beaten without aff respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and empower their rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve a contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. SEGREGATION! 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 nation's leaders to take the right in behalf of them 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 people of the entire 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 publication to awake to a full sense of their misapprehension in the matter and give our people some aggressive action against federal segregation. We are not going to get anywhere in this country, as far as our rights and privileges are concerned, until we are far more active in our own behalf. A Cincinnati friend, writing The Gazette, last week, said: "The Carry people were for Sieber", (white), a Ku Klux Klan candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. And our people had a candidate in the field, too! "The Negro World" of New York City, organ of The Universal Negro Improvement Association, supported Joseph B. Sieber of Akron with almost a page advertisement and, we understand, the Ohio branches of the organization took their "cue" from that. Up to this time, if there was one thing we gave that organization credit for it, we knew it. This was posed to be its cardinal tenet. Two years ago, the organization in Cleveland and Cincinnati did the proper thing in its support of our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor and did it well. Possibly other branches in the state did likewise. As an organization, The U. N. I. A.'s greatest asset was its profession of intensive race loyalty. Let it lose its reputation for that and its death-knell is surely sounded. City bond issue requests, to be submitted to voters.

Discrimination at the Chippawa Lake picnic, arranged by the American Wire and Steel Co., caused Thurman Jackson, age 25, to lose his life, recently. Thurman, in company with his brother-in-law, Joe Holmes, age 15, were refused admission by authorities of Chippawa Lake to bathe on the same side of the lake with his emigrant children, told that if wanted to bathe that skiffs and suits would be rented them but that they would have to go on the opposite side of the lake. Jackson was drowned before help could reach him. Some one of our lawyers should take up this civil rights and damage case. Joe Holmes is alive.

Williams had been named a member of the state Republican executive committee, authorized by Dwight, was a mistake, it seems. From what we learn from Columbus Dwight had been misinformed. The Republican central committee only completed its temporary organization, last week, and at this writing no other committee has been selected. The strike of union painters, paperhangers and glaziers, in progress since March 1, was called off, Tuesday. The men were ordered back to their jobs at the old rate of $1.25 an hour.

The strike was not issued, Tuesday, includes continuation of the five-and-a-half-day working week that prevailed before March 1. The "national convention" of funeral directors was held in the chapel of Slaughter Bros', new funeral home, E. 89th St. and Cedar Ave., last week Tuesday evening, and not in Mt.

Albert Monaque, age 31, who refused to tell police his address, was near death, last week Friday, in Charity hospital with a deep gash under his heart, the result of a man with his sweetheart. The man was questioned by Sergt' John Zeman, near Central Ave, and E. 30th St., as a suspicious person and when a member of the servant's squad searched him his condition was discovered. Monaque told the girl's name but would not tell Zeman where she lived. Undertaker Kennedy and wife of 319 Jackson St., N. S., Pittsburgh, returned home, this week. Mrs. Bessie (Kitzmiller) Kennedy, a former resident of this city, well known and highly esteemed, came to the city, last week, to attend the funeral directors' national meet, Mr. Kennedy arriving, Sunday, in time to attend the formal opening (Monday) of The Slaughter Bros.' new undertaking establishment. They called upon The Gazette in the afternoon of that day. Mrs. Jennie Jackson, Mrs. Amy Williams and granddaughter, Mrs. Amy Steward and three children, the last named the daughter of Prof. Harry A.

Meeks, age 35, 6411 Quincy Ave., was fined $25 and costs with an option of 30 days in the workhouse by Judge Virgil Terrell in Police Court, last week Wednesday, as the result of a fight said to have taken place in the basement of Shiloh Baptist temple, in which Mrs. Lizzie Lewis of Scovill Ave., was cut. The quarrel is said to have been caused by the resentment of Meeks to a statement alleged to him in connection with Theodore Gregory, E. 28th St., who called down the "vengeance of the Lord" upon the congregation as the result of three murders among the membership in recent weeks. In the scuffle that followed Mrs. Lewis is reported to have been slashed on the hand. Right around the corner, south of Central Ave. and at 2308 E. 55th St., Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Pool have opened a restaurant, new, neat, clean and most inviting indeed, such as Cleveland has not had for years and something our people of this community were in dire need of. They are experienced restauranteurs. Mr. Pool is unexcelled as a chef. Mrs. Pool is a long-time Clevelandander, thoroly efficient and a wonderful help-mate, in all branches of the business, of her husband. Their service is the very best. More, they do not over charge. Their rates are most reasonable indeed. Therefore The Gazette urges its readers to patronize the Pool restaurant and urge their friends and acquaintances to do likewise.

He is to the manor born and more 100% American than many holding office in our nation and state. Why should he not whet our youth’s appetite to aspire? Why should Hon. Harry E. Davis aspire? ‘Atty. Alexander H. Martin aspire to become a judge? I left Florida. recently, a day or two ahead of my time so as to give Mr. Smith and our other local candidates a lift. J voted for all of them and will do it again, and have done it along with my other friends, Democrats and Re- publicang. I care very little about parties any more. The Republican party from President down doesn't see to the law being enforced when it comes to our people any more than northern Democrats, I. would to God that the Negro would wake up and stop his confounded stupidity and realize the importance of the bal- lot, especially in the north. It is his political and civil weapon to fight with. The Hon, Harry C, Smith has, ever since I have known him, been an ardent fighter for our race-rights. even to his political disadvantage. “The Old Reliable” ever battles for our people and even against them, | when necessary, in their lawlessness. We must see our peoples’ faults and ‘try and remedy them, it we are to have the respect of the people we live among.

We should, I shall, ever strive to keep it unsullied—by purity, justice and truth from ail men regardless of race, creed or color. Mr. Smith, two years hence, go to it again and if 1 am alive I shall canvass the state with you, I stopped off in Sidney, ., on Aug. 8, 1926, and got two others to promise me their vote for you. (Rey.) HORACE C. BAILEY. OUR FORTY-FOURTH YEAR. The editor of The Gazette was so pleased, last week, as the result of having run fifth in the field of twelve candidates for the Republi- can nomination for Governor, beat- ing seven white candidates, that he quite forgot the fact that with the issue of that week, “The Old Re- Hable” Gazette was entering upon is forty-fourth year. Forty-three years and one week ago this paper was launched upon “the troubled seas” of journalism by the writer, and there have been SOME “trou- bled seas” for it, in years gone by, as all of our oldest readers will readily recall. But “The Old 1e- Hable”, as The Gazette is now known from one end of this coun- try to the other, “weathered” them, and more! For hasn't it entered upon its forty-fourth year of con- tinuous publication, e\ ery week on time since the date of its birth? IT CERTAINLY HAS! A remark: able record which few papers of any class or group of people in this country can duplicate. And more! From its efforts, many years ago, to wipe out “The Black Laws of Ohio”; to enact a Civil Rights law and a Mob Violence Act or Anti- Lynching law for this state; to help defend and protect our people, not only of the state but of the entire Teas: Re on Dhene. te wer ee Ve = 7 ONLY . sHS. \ i A\ The YOU JON i) « \\ pr reer oe >| een JR ES fae Me ees 4 Reinet Oe Se EE ee 7 CS ID Greater Value—Lower Price.

What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help defend and encourage | our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge. We refer particularly to its efforts against inimical legislation and harmful discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Atro-Amer- fcans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen- rights, here in the North, we have been ‘and always will be, unalter- ably opposed 40 any “doctrine of JAZZ LIP RICHARDSON eS SESS surrender”, ‘or conciliatory policy, v0 insidiously preached, in this day and time, by “jimerow Negroes” and their fool-prejudiced white mas- ters. The Gazette believes in de- manding for our people, in this sec- Hon of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for contin- ued and greater support, and we re- spectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-three years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from ithe Great Lakes to the Guli—we have only expres- sions of sincerest appreciation. ‘There is, howover, one thing we would asic of all our readers at this time and that, is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of “The Old Reliable” Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its cireulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry ©, Smith, Editor and Owner. A = ANY loys ZA he gS | = = Sa 7.
