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 solumn 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. 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 your standard 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 and beloved Warren G. Harding? 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 was structured 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 congressional district. You went to the Chicago convention, of course, as a Harding and not a Wood delegate. For the 6th ballot and then together with Rudolph Hynicka, the other delegate from your district, descreted him and voted for Leonard Wood. You continued your 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 conference to be nominated, you, with your political boss, sneaked back onto the Harding band wagon. Had you been loyal to the trust placed in you by 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 it if necessary. But you did waver; you did betray the trust. Yet you now are before the same people whom you betrayed, and in the same FRESH OH WRITTEN BY "THE OLD CORRESPOND What Our People Are Do Personal, Social, Lodge, Marriages, FRESH OHIO NEWS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

MILLER For County Prosecutor, Democratic Ticket The Democratic candidate for county prosecutor for the county of Cuyahoga is Ray T. Miller. He was born in Defiance, Ohio, and educated in the parochial and public schools. He is a graduate of Notre Dame university and has practiced law in Cleveland since 1914. He served overseas with the 37th Division with the rank of captain. In the year 1921-1922, he was assistant law director of the city of Cleveland, in charge of trial work, and tried practically all of the city of Cleveland cases in the court of common pleas, the court of appeals and the state supreme court during the war. He has held the position of the firm of Moore, Mahon, Miller & Moore and has since 1923 been engaged in the general practice of law in the Cuyahoga building, Cleveland, Ohio. He will make a good prosecutor because he has ability, and will be fearless in dealing with all problems of that of political boss and would handle all problems in the interest of justice and fair play. This is the kind of a prosecutor Cuyahoga county has needed for some time—Adv. JUDGE SAMUEL H. SILBERT. One of the Very Best Judges on the Common Pleas Bench-Re-Elect Him, Tuesday, Nov. 2, '26. "Men should not be influenced or swayed by creed or color. We are all brothers, under the skin, and are here mainly to help one another." These sentiments were uttered by Judge Samuel H. Silbert, ad- dressing a group of prominent people, last Saturday night. Judge Silbert is running for re-election as judge of Common Pleas Court, 6 year term, and, we feel it is the duty of every man and woman voter to support him by going to the polls, November 2nd, and voting for him. Past events have shown us Judge Silbert's attitude toward our people, and he now makes it possible for us in a small measure to repay him.

Executive Offices, Neil House, Room 135, Columbus, O., October 26, 1926. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Gentleman:—Enclosed herewith please find copy for a $50 advertisement to be used in your issue, this week without fail. Please send two copies of your paper for checking purposes immediately after publication, along with your bill, and check will be forwarded at once. Thanking you for your interest and co-operation. I am It is hardly necessary for the editor of The Gazette to inform its readers that he refused to accept the order for the "$50 advertisement" which Mr. Townsley sent him (and, too, after the receipt of the letter which is given below) because it advertised the candidates of Myers Y. Cooper and James O. Matey, or the Republican candidates for governor and lieutenant-governor. Both candidates do not care enough for the thousands of Afro-American votes in the state of Ohio to deny the charges of discrimination against our people, and of membership in or friendship for the Ku Klux Klan—charges so freely of the state, previous to the recent primary campaign. The duty of every Afro-American voter in the state of Ohio as far as these two candidates are concerned, is now perfectly clear! WE CAN NOT VOTE FOR THEM and retain our self and race respect. Cleveland, O., Oct. 21, 1926. Mr. G. H. Townsley, Pub. Mgr., Rep. State Campaign Committee., Room 134, Nil House, Cobbling Ohio. Dear Sir: I have just received your recent release to the colored voters of Ohio. Permit me to assure you that a denial of civil rights in public places of entertainment as is said to be the case in the Republican candidate for lieutenant-governor, James O. Mills' chain or restaurants throughout. Ohio is not allowed by the employment of 227, or 227 million "colored" people. The same is true in the case of Myers Y. Cooper, Republican candidate for Governor; it is not how many "colored" men he employs, but whether or not he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan and enforced by that lawless organization are more respectful of the state, prior to the recent primaries, and never to my knowledge, at least, denied by him. The statement has also been made and not contradicted that Mr. Cooper draws a color-line in his real estate dealings in Cincinnati. Under the circumstances, it is simply ridiculous to expect self and respecting colored men and women with an ounce of good sense to cast their votes for either of these two men—Myers Y. Cooper, Republican candidate for Governor, and James O. Mills, Republican candidate for lieutenant-governor. They were asked on October 16, "26, by the writer through C. R. Frederickson, charismatized by a Republican state campaign committee, to deny the foregoing charges and refused to do so, Wednesday or Thursday morning of this week, so Chairman Frederickson's secretary (a woman) speaking for him (she said) long-distanced (phoned) the writer, Thursday of this week, between and 2 p. m. The writer was called to colloquies by Chairman Frederickson for the conference of October 16th, "26. There are 200,000 "Colored" voters in Ohio. Yours truly, Harry C. Smith.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1926. For judge of the common pleas court, our readers will make no mistake if they vote for any of the following named persons: Frank G. Carpenter, Alva R. Corlett, Thomas M. Kennedy, James B. Ruhl, Samuel H. Silbert, Harrison W. Ewing. The Germans are angry about the revival of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", the Bulgarians are angry about "The Chocolate Soldier" and the Irish are angry "The Playboy of the Western World". About time for our people to "join in the chorus". Judge Bradley Hull will make an exceptionally efficient and satisfactory judge of the insolvency or juvenile court. Likewise, Judge Harry L. Eastman. Of course, Judge Manuel Levine must be re-elected to the court of appeals. We all know him also as a thoroly loyal friend of the race. For coroner, vote for Dr. Albert V. Fried, for twenty-five years one of the leading physicians of this city, for fully thirty years a personal friend of the editor of The Gazette, and a life-long friend of the race. We ask our readers, voters, to cast their votes for him because he is competent and will make a first-class coroner upon whom we can always depend for fair and honest treatment in every way. SENATOR FRANK B. WILLIS. There is absolutely no excuse for the failure of any one of our people to vote on Tuesday for Senator Frank B. Willis, the most active and aggressive friend of the race in the upper branch of the Congress. There are many reasons why one of us should go to the polls on Tuesday next and vote for him. There is no class of people in this country who need friends in the Congress more than our people do, and we can not expect to retain friends, like the Senator, unless we do our clear duty and vote for them whenever we have an opportunity so to do. Do not allow anybody or anything to prevent your doing so, next Tuesday. Let us show our appreciation of the splendid work he has done for the race, ever since he has been in public life, by giving him unanimous support on election day, November 2, 1926. He is far and away the most active friend of the race in the Congress. The county commissioners refused to settle the $5,000 claim of the executors of the estate of Albert Mosey of Ravenna, Ohio, who was killed in a Greek restaurant at E. 55th St. and Central Ave. some months ago by white hoodlums, it is said. Commissioner Jerry Zmunt says the law is an ancient statute, says the working an injustice to the county and that it should be ditched. They expect to carry the case to the highest courts if necessary — Cleveland correspondence, Chicago Defender. Cleveland, O., Oct. 23, '26. Mr. Alexander O. Taylor, 3835 Central Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear "Aleck":—My attention has just been called to your mis-statements, relative to the Mossey case and my Ohio anti-lynching law, in your letter to this week's Chicago Defender. County Commissioner Jerry Zumm "phoned me, yesterday, that he did NOT say what "The Cleveland Plain Dealer" published, last Sunday and you have repeated in your letter to "The Defender" of this week, and in the local columns of "The Herald" of this city (so I am informed). Mr. Zumm also said, that there was no newspaper reporter present when the Mosses settlement was being considered and that no one made any such remarks as you and "The Plain Dealer" quoted him as uttering. So you see what you published was only the out-put of the fevered brain of a "Plain Dealer" reporter, desperate for anything that savored of the sensational. The commissioners did settle paying $8,500 to the Mosey administrator and $500 to F. Marshall. In conclusion, for the information of all, permit me to remind you that since I secured the enactment of the Ohio anti-lynching law, in 1896, the Ohio supreme court has several times passed upon that law, upholding it in its entirety and pronouncing it good law. Several other states, including Illinois, have copied our Onio Anti-lynching law. Be sure to publish these facts and oblige me greatly. I am sure I can depend upon your making proper correction. Mr. Zmunt 'phoned that he will call on me, Tuesday, between 2 and 3 p. m. Come to the office and meet him at that time, if you will. Let every self and race respecting Afro-American in the state of Ohio scratch the names of Myers Y. Cooper and James O. Mills from their ticket on Tuesday when you go to vote. They are brazen in their affront of the race—drawing a color-line and refusing absolutely even to say that they will discontinue the nefarious practice. Only confirmed members of the Ku Klux Klan could and would, as candidates for public office, be so brazen in such shameful mistreatment of any class of Americans. You simply cannot vote for Cooper and Mills. Help to defeat them! Do your clear duty! Pass the word along to all you meet. Myers Y. Cooper builds homes that no Afro-American may occupy. Improves property but not for us. Insists on excluding our people from many developments he has handled. James O. Mills operates restaurants in various parts of the state but refuses service to our people. COUNTY COMMISSIONER JERRY R. ZMUNT. The editor of The Gazette has known Commissioner Jerry R. Zmunt for thirty years—ever since their boyhood days. He has made one of the very best officials this county has ever had and, throut all the years mentioned, has shown by acts as well as words a steadfast friendship for the race which it is now time for us to evidence appreciation of by a united support of his candidacy on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1926. Atty. Alex H. Martin, who headed the legal force of race attorneys that recently secured the $4,000 Mossey-Marsshall settlement from the county, says that they owe their success in those two cases more to the helpfulness of Commissioner Zmunt than to anything else. Mr. Martin and his legal colleagues join with Commissioner Zmunt in the statement which the latter makes below, declaring that the recent Sunday Plain Dealer publication, attributing to the commissioner statements he never made, was absolutely unfounded in fact and therefore untrue! In order to reassure our voters of this county of this fact The Gazette has secured a copy of Mr. Zmunt's letter to The Plain Dealer asking a correction of its mis-statements, and we commend this letter and Mr. Zmunt's candidacy to them in the strongest possible manner: Mr. Zmunt's Letter To The Plain Dealer. Cleveland, Ohio, October 26, '26. Mr. Erie C. Hopwood, Editor, Plain Dealer, City. My Dear Sir:—My attention has been called to the article in the Plain Dealer of October 17, '26, in which I was misquoted entirely as to my views on the Mob Violence Act or Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law.

Trusting you will make proper correction as requested, or publish letter as early this week as possible, and thanking you for the same. I am. Long years ago, thirty or more, our attention was first called to Edward J. Hanratty by friendly acts he did quietly for members of the race. Time and again, as the years rolled on, our attention was called (not by Mr. Hanratty) to similar acts of his. Often those who were helped by him told of his kindness to them. When he was sheriff of the county, there was no segregation of Afro-American prisoners, as has been the case in recent years, and there were no complaints of any kind relative to his conduct of the office. And there will be no segregation when he takes office again. Those who had business with the sheriff's office and all who were familiar with Sheriff Hanratty's conduct of the affairs of the office, had and have nothing but praise for him. It is not necessary to call attention to the wide-spread dissatisfaction with the present incumbent's conduct of the office. There has been so much said in the daily newspapers in recent weeks and months that everybody knows enough to convince them of the necessity of a change in the conduct of the sheriff's office.

COOLIDGE PERMITS IT How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press and People of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? Washington, D. C. (Special).—There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the post office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks go around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, while逮捕ing all people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and now the Democratic Party is by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only week, a colored lady appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He is North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and the segregation Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on one another in operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the eleven states which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special Offer) Washington, D. C.—In the postoperative segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under strict humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferta for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were slaves. The injustice reflects all the more where they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there segregation, and segregation even attempted in the past. And all of the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the beads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the post office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored well-armed clerks around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employee have won quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colred clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme or segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are genetically of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go out of-the-way a few tables or for our employees, we am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here as elsewhere, the issuer must assess or superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in work, for example, of their employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in social equality and then dismiss a rumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one or carrying cocaine, then immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial of my request. I have list, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the inhabitants cannot bear witness to it. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1926. ON THE RIGHT SIDE! If Ohio women voters have not as yet given concrete and forcible evidence of the wisdom of giving them the ballot (and we are not saying they haven't), they sure are doing so early in the "primary fight" now on. Their stand, out in the open, at this time in favor of the "popular vote primary"; for a later date for primary day and for a shorter ballot shames both party organizations and many male organizations similar to our women's state and local bodies. Doing away with the popular vote primary and returning to the old convention plan should not be permitted because to do so means to make it easier and cheaper to purchase nominations for state and local offices and of course makes it far more remunerative for the bosses of the conventions, with less worry and trouble for the purchasers as well as said bosses. Ladies, that is the crux of this fall's movement to practically kill the popular vote primary in Ohio and many other states. Certain individuals and corporations, who do not appear on the surface, are back of the movement and for reasons stated. If the voters of Ohio are wise and not misled by the "corporations and bosses", certain daily newspapers of the state and the country, this latest assault upon the popular vote primary will fail just as others have. It is sure encouraging to see the women voters taking the lead in the effort to defeat designing political bosses and unscrupulous corporations that wish to control not only all our candidates for offices but all elected officials, also. PAT HARRISON AND POMERENE Our readers have doubtless noticed that one of the "big" Democratic speakers to be brought into the state, by the Democratic state campaign committee, in behalf of Ex-U. S. Senator Pomerene is U. S. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi! This information is of particular interest to our people of Ohio at this time. Pomerene is the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator opposing Senator Frank B. Willis, our candidate for the position. Willis is our friend; Harrison and Pomerene, our enemies! It was this same Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who is to come into the state as the chief spokesman for the Democratic candidate for U. S. senator, who was the leader in the filibuster in the senate, beginning on Nov. 27, 1922, which resulted in the defeat of the Dyer-anti-lynching bill. It was Senator Harrison who led the opposition, since that time, that a second time prevented the consideration of that bill. There were nine roll calls in connection with the filibuster. Every vote cast on the side of the filibuster was Democratic, including those of Senators Harrison, King of Utah and Pomerene of Ohio, although Senator Pomerene managed to escape several votes by simply going out of the chamber. The record shows he was present, every day, during the filibuster and did nothing against it. Every vote cast against the filibuster was Republican, except one, and Senator Willis was one of those who stood by us, supporting the Dyer anti-lynching bill to the very end. Only a few weeks ago, just before the close of the last session, it was Senator Harrison who led the bitter fight against the confirmation, as a judge of the Municipal Court, in Washington, D. C., of James A. Cobb, one of our reputable citizens of this nation. Harrison fought the confirmation of Judge Cobb, not because of any question as to his ability, but simply because of his race antagonism. And this is the man that the Democrats of Ohio are bringing into the state to help defeat our sterling friend, U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis! This man, Harrison, rarely ever opens his mouth to refer to our people but to slur and abuse us. His coming to Ohio, to participate in the campaign as a speaker or otherwise, in its self-an aggravating insult which we should be quick and unanimous to resent in every honorable way at our command. As for Senator Pomerene's candidacy, it is "out of the question", impossible, as far as our people are concerned because his votes and acts, while a member of the U. S. Senate, were against us on important matters as the Dyer anti-lynching bill and the confirmation of the President's appointment of Judge Cobb. They place him, as a candidate, "without the pale", as far as we are concerned. Tell it, to every member of the race you meet between now and election day, Nov. 2, 26. The editor of The Gazette asks as a personal favor that our readers and friends, voters, go to the polls on Nov. 2, 2'6, and vote for Judges Mathias and Jones, Republican candidates for re-election to the State Supreme Court. They are our friends, true and tried. They long since demonstrated to the satisfaction of all their commanding ability as jurists. Tell all to vote for Judges Mathias and Jones. CONVENTION PLAN. When a candidate could obtain a nomination from a convention, he needed to be favorably known only to the delegates or their leaders. But to obtain one at the hands of voters throughout a state, he must gain the good opinion of thousands or hundreds of thousands. That means advertising of one sort or another. That means expense, particularly to a new and little known candidate—Cleveland Daily News. Some old-time politician, who has been a candidate when the old convention plan of making nominations was in vogue, ought to tell the editor of The News that it cost the great majority of successful candidates a great deal more than it does under the popular vote plan of today. The political bosses of the convention and the heads of the party executive committees simply had to have the money. And we know whereof we speak! There are others who know, too. If they only would speak up. THE POPULAR VOTE PRIMARY. The politicians, backed by certain big corporations, are trying to knock out the popular vote primary now in effect, claiming that "only 10 or 15 percent of the total vote of the people is cast at primary elections." This is often true, but it was wrong to assume that primary is infinitely to be preferred to a return to the old convention plan of making nominations, dominated as they always are by one or more political bosses. That what they want again and are working for when they ask you to vote to modify the position, the next election. This same effort has been made, several times in the past, with the result that the politicians and political bosses were voted down and the popular vote primary endorsed and retained. It is far better to have nomination made by 0 or 1 percent of the vote, than to have them dictated by a few political bosses who do not constitute one per cent of the total vote. Surely the great mass of thinking voters have not so soon forgotten what forced the "junking" of the old convention plan of making nominations, and the final results brought about the "junking", and ought never to be lost sight of for a single moment. The popular vote primary with its few imperfections is far and away superior to the convention plan of making nominations for reason and until better popular vote plan is found, the one we have should and doubtless will be retained, regardless of the political bosses' and their corporation allies' efforts to discredit it for the sole purpose of substituting the old or any convention plan, thus better preserving of nominations for public offices. Ohio Afro-American voters, of all others in the state, would be most harmed by a return to the old convention plan of making nominations because it would estep any of our number in this state from ever standing as a candidate for the public of any consequence. Whether we are elected or not, we should at least, in common with all other classes or races of voters, be permitted to stand as candidates for any public office, and should not again be barred from doing so as we always were under the Obama administration, misled by any of the specious arguments of politicians or others into voting for any change in the present popular vote primary law. All that we have written in the foregoing applies with almost equal force to the women voters of Ohio. A show knowt of the politiced bosses are depending largely on the notorious crookedness (they more than anyone or anything else is responsible ror), which is invoked on election day, to do away with the popular vote primary. Make yourself a committee of one to explain this to all you come in contact with from now until election day. Harry C. Smith. GEORGE WALLACE Seeks Re-Election as County Clerk And Ought to Be Re-Elected— He Will Be, Too. An official well meriting another term is George Wallace, candidate for Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas on the Republican ticket. Mr. Wallace is a product of Cleveland, having been born and reared here and received his education in the Public Schools of this city. He is an expert in this office, having spent many years as a deputy before assuming the head of the office. His improvements in methods and the good service his office has given the public, with notable economy, are ample reasons why the voters should assure themselves of a continuance of this good work by electing County Clerk George Wallace, to another term. The following is a financial statement of Mr. Wallace's office: Collected and paid to County _____ $932,248.45 Office Expenditures _____ 613,719.37 Profit to Tax Payer. $318,529.08 WON'T YOU GIVE YOUR SUPPORT TO CONTINUE THIS WORK?—Adv. JUDGE HULL IS OUR FRIEND! In the 16 years that Judge Bradley Hull has been in public service, our people have never had a fairer or more considerate public servant than this man. Two years ago, when the Ku Klux Klan was such a prominent issue in local politics, Judge Hull flatly denied any connection with or any interest in that order at the risk of his election. As a judge the Hull has always been especially interested in the welfare of those of our young folk who have come before him. The Gazette recommends him highly.—Adv. JUDGE GEORGE P. BAER Is the Most Fit and Best Qualified Candidate For the Office of Judge of Probate Court Because He is a Candidate Best Fitted For That Office. Therefore, Give Him Your Votes at The Coming Election. The office of judge is one of importance because politics and personal views do not enter into this field of public activity of the man performing the dignified and yet responsible duties of the office. The judge is also the officer if he wishes to perform the duties of his office faithfully, not altogether in strict conformity with the letter of the law, he must be honest, human, at times compassionate to a degree, and above all familiar with human experience and the people with whom he comes in daily contact. Only such a man can truly be a good public officer and a good judge, when in the performance of his duties he actually demonstrates that he is not a soul-less human but a man who can discern the nature of the law's strong arm of justice, and which knowledge of human weakness, coupled with a wise and intelligent treatment of the matter at hand, has brought many a man who found himself at conflict with the law, back to the path of rightness, to do useful work for the community. The office of judge is an important one and it is essential that such office be filled with the best and most qualified men obtainable, and, without a doubt, just such a man is Judge Baer. He is a fully qualified candidate and the best fitted by experience, legal knowledge and temperament for the office of Judge. He has given given countless proofs of those qualities in his twenty-one years of indefatigable and useful public service. Such then it is our duty to support, of whose official conduct we have positive guarantees that we shall not be disappointed and that they will perform their work, waiting for them in the performance of the duties of their office with complete satisfaction to the people. Remember, when voting, that it is necessary to place the cross before George P. Baer's name, giving him your vote, and by doing so you will express your confidence this and so securely have placed the office of Probate Judge and your confidence in the hands of a man who is entirely worthy of your confidence, one whose future performance is guaranteed by the record of past service and achievement, a service faithfully bearing twenty-one years of practical experience in public service.—Adv. JUDGE ALVA B. CORLETT Will the Election be as Honest as The Man?—Do Not Fail to Vote for Him for Judge of The Common Pleas Court. In a pamphlet, issued by Judge Corlett, who was cheated out of his election, two years ago, the Judge says in the introduction: the court courts and the election of the right kind of judges is your business." This is absolutely true, except in one very important point, viz., if the election is of the right kind, and if the count of the votes is honest, and if the count of the elections where certain waits do such crooked methods that you could not find a duplicate of them even in Mexico. This is deplorable and disgusting to the voters and increases every year the number of stay-at-homes. Nevertheless, we cannot shirk our duty. As good citizens we must cast our votes for the court, not our benefit of Judge Corlett, who is a capable, honest and courageous jurist, we hope that the gang will not steal all the votes he receives, this time. Friends, we advise you to vote for Judge Corlett as a protest against the judge. You will find his name on the small judicial ticket.
