SOME REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
For Common Pleas Judge.
Judge Samuel E. Kramer.
Among the seven candidates for judge of the common pleas court to be voted for in November are Judge Samuel E. Kramer who ought to be and doubtless will be re-elected; and Atty. Frank G. Carpenter, who is questionably competent to fill the position most acceptably. Both gentlemen are well-known to and friendly toward our people.

DAVID COBLAND
When we predicted the triumphant nomination of David Copland, just prior to the recent primaries, largely because he had been the "runner-up," two years ago, we thot and felt sure we were right. Subsequent events proved the correct conclusion, and we free showing at the primaries, however, was in no small measure the result of the very active and telling assistance of the nephews, the Lurie brothers of The May Company.
Rosenwald's Latest Gift.
Southern Afro-Americans are again indebted to Julius Rosenwald, the philanthropist, who has helped them build 5,000 schools. Recently, he gave $15,000 for a summer school for southern Afro-American farm and home demonstration agents under the direction of the extension bureau of the Department of Agriculture. These extension schools were held this month, at State A. & B. College, Nashville, C. T. Tennessee State College, Nashville, and Prairie View, Texas. College. They are the first of their kind ever held for Afro-American agents and fill a long felt need.

THE BEASTIALITY
OF TEN MILLION YEARS

IT IS THE MOST STARTLING FACT
In the Recent History of the Race,
According to Our Good Friend,
Bishop W. P. Thirkield of
the Great M. E. Church.
Marshfield, Mass., Aug. 23, '30.
Hon. Harry C. Smith.
Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.
My dear Mr. Smith — Let me
thank you for my effective work
which you have accomplished in securing legislation against lynching and mob violence. You have accomplished a strong and progressive piece of work, which is worthy of all praise. I pray that my dear old native state of Ohio may live up to these laws. (It does. — Editor.)
As you know, since 1883 I have identified my life in large measure with the Negro group, being especially interested in a trained and conscientious group. The closed article gives my view as to the seriousness of the present situation.
With all good wishes, I am
Faithfully yours.
(Rt. Rev.) W. P. Thirkield,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
A Critical Situation.
(Contributed Editorial by Bishop
Wilbur P. Thirkield.)
The most startling fact in the recent history of the Negro race is the enrollment of nineteen thousand students in the colleges and universities of our land. In the institutions of the Methodist Episcopal Church alone the students of collegiate rank have advanced from 384 in 1920 to 2,295 in 1929. Besides, there are tens of thousands of students in the colleges in Georgia and the South, when I entered on my life-work in 1883, there was not a single high school for the Negro, there are now well-equipped high schools in every State. In all the colleges there were then not 200 enrolled. In the first graduating class of Gammon Theological Seminary, in 1886, there was but one college graduate, James M. Cox, who went forth to really create Philander Smith College, at Little Rock, thru early years at the University in Little Rock, Arkansas, there was recently dedicated a noble high-school building costing over $400,000.
No such advance in the same time has been made by any other people. An entire race has moved forward and upward by phenomenal strides. To the Church, however, it spells not only encouragement and hope but peril. Let us consider the critical situation in the ministry of the Negro group arising from this amazing advance. It is evident to careful students of the situation that the ministry of the race is not keeping pace with the intellectual, social and cultural changes. Where it should lead as it once did, it now lags. The problem now is, with a ministry so largely unequipped, to hold the new generation of trained, alert, capable young people to the Church.—The Christian Advocate, N. Y. City, Aug. 7, '30.
SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS
Editor, Cleveland News: — It is maintained by some that inasmuch as justice is not exercised in our courts, the mob is justified in taking the law into its hands and meting out in its own way what it feels might not otherwise be done. This idea is as false as it is pernicious. And more so when it is motivated by race prejudice. In this age of boasted enlightenment and progress, it is amazing to witness the latest savage outburst in the town of Marion, Ind. Two Negroes, after murdering her escort, attempted to assault a young woman. They were duly arrested and jailed. While awaiting trial an infuriated mob broke open the jail took them from their cells, dragged them through the streets and finally hanged them.
Trial by jury is an inheritance from western civilization and is the line of demarcation from barbarism. That courts do not function as required by statute is not the question here, although the discussion of whether lynchings are justified naturally leads to this point. If a man takes a life he thereby forfeits his own. But in all countries in which capital punishment is the penalty, it is first ascertained whether the facts warrant such action by the state. The Indiana mob did not give those two Negroes a chance to obtain their constitutional rights. It may be argued they would have died anyhow, but that is not the point. Nor have the courts been frightened into activity. For it should be remembered that an attack upon a lawful person may form, but does more firmly implant and spread in our soil the seeds of anarchy.
"PASTOR FOOLED US"
Say Twenty-nine Members of Shiloh Baptist Church, Columbus, About to Lose Their Homes.
Columbus, O.—Twenty-nine members of Shiloh Baptist church, whose homes are threatened by a foreclosure which will follow a suit filed by the Bellefontaine Building and Loan Co. which holds a mortgage on the church and has engaged atty, Leon Ransom and others to help them. They claim that their names were obtained on the note thru misrepresentation, that the pastor, Rev. J. H. Burks, to them and said that he was getting up a list of his most prominent members "to present down town so that people there would know that he had a substantial membership." They did not know, they say, that they had attached their names to a promissory note until several weeks ago when a committee of trustees went into conference with the church officials. They were shown the note with their names written on the back. A few weeks later, the Bellefontaine company foreclosed.

DOINGS OF THE RACE.
Among the 12 million Afro-Americans, there are about 40,000 church organizations.—Bishop W. P. Thirkield.
Thirty Afro-American Democrats from Chicago alone attended the Illinois State Democratic convention, last week.
Our publications ought to have too much pride as well as regard for their own business interests to circulate the W. B. Ziff Co. "Illustrated Feature Section." "Ditch" it, brethren.
Atty. William Bush of Cincinnati is our only other Ohio candidate for state representative. Like Cleveland's candidate, the Hon. Perry B. Jackson, he is on the Republican ticket.
John H. Mosely of Washington, D.C., last week, knocked down and killed Lester Gordon (white), age 33, after he had several times ordered the latter to stay away from his home.
Barred from one of its vessels at Detroit when they had tickets for an excursion during the meeting of the National Association of Chiropodists, twelve of our doctors have filed damage suits totaling $300,000 against the Detroit-Windsor Ferry Co.
The failure of President Hoover to recall the nomination of a prejudiced southerner, Dr. Carl Colvin (white) as chief of the technical bureau of the Department of Agriculture of Haiti, caused the resignation of the entire Haitian cabinet, recently.
Alleging serious irregularities in the handling of over $22,000 of Campbell college funds, Bishop William D. Johnson, of the eighth episcopal district, A. M. E. Church, was made a defendant by a suit in equity in the circuit court at Jackson, Miss., recently.
With the arrest and punishment of one M. Brown, American machinist (white), charged with taking part in throwing a worker out of a Stalingrad tractor factory, dining Russia, Russia acted with determination to halt any show of racial prejudice there (in Moscow, Russia), last week.
President Hoover who has named a white ambassador to Haiti and a white charge d'affaires to Liberia, Africa, has also named an all-white delegation to attend the coronation of Ras Tafari, emperor of Abyssinia, on December 2. The new ambassador is Herman M. Jacoby, age 38, a banker, who became a naturalized American only ten years ago.
Here are Some Jobs!
Ten government positions, obtainable by competitive examination, were announced, Saturday, by C. F. Mackin, secretary of the U. S. civil service commission. The positions of architects, police, biologist, physiologist and agronomist are included in the list. Salaries range from $1,900 to $4,400 per year.

10,000,000 Afro-Americans,
‘850,000 in Ohio.
60,000 in Cleveland.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1930.
The outlook for the Republican
success, this fall, is not-good. This
is an “oft year” to begin with, and
between President Hoover's Parker
appointment, the new tariff law, the
president's anti-soldier-bonus stand
andthe blame for the distressing
economic situation thruout the
country, we are sure up against it.
Then, too, the Democrats have the
best state and local ticket they have
had im years, while McCulloch,
Cooper and several of our local can-
Gidates aré on the defensive, being
fought by organized labor, Afro-
‘Aisésledine and others.
Councilman Herman Finkle in-
forms ‘The Gazette that the rerout-
ing of the Central Ave. cars, revers-
ing them on the down-town. loop
and making them far more useful to
passengers in all parts of the city,
‘who wish to patronize the Central
Market, will be an accomplished fact
on Monday next, Sept. 1, '30. This
will ba real good news to many of
our people of the third and fourth
councilmaniec districts. The sugges-
tion that this change be made was
published originaliy in The Gazette,
last May, and fheludéd in a letter
under date, June 5, ‘30, sent by the
editor to C. M. Baliou, city street
railroad commissioner, to which he
replied very favorably, Sune 20,
1930. The rerouting is also being
made ni response to a resolution in-
troduced in eity council, several
weeks ago, by Councilman L. N.
‘Bundy.

ANOTHER “BUNDY” FIASCO.
From all accounts “the Council-
man Bundy victory dinner-dance” so
noisily proclaimed in the vicinity of
Central Ave. and E. 565th St., for
Monday evening, in Elks’ hall, at
‘one dollar per, was a flat failure.
Dollars are not numerous, these
days, among the boys in the vicinity
of the Hotel Majestic and the 17th
ward, as well as thruout the city.
Along about midnight when it was
perfectly clear that the affair was to
‘De a flat failure in point of attend-
tance, the doors were thrown wide
open and everybody invited to come
fn gratis, it is soid. Still the at-
tendance was pitifully small. Even
his few friends are beginning to
sense the fact that the erratic “bob-
Dlegush” and “Blossom Triplet”
Bundy has sure pulled a “big boner”
in opposing the Republican organi-
zation which did so much, last fall,
to help elect him a member of the
city counell.
‘A great many people do not yet
know that Atty. George B. Harris’
majority over Atty. Arthur H. Day
in the “colored” wards was 948 in
ward 11; 1661 in ward 12, and 152
in ward 19, While Day's majority
over Harris in ward 17 was only
325. This (ward 17) is the erratic
“pobblegush”, Bundy's habitat, too.
And only 346 in ward 18, Council-
man Clayborne George's ward. Geor-
ge, if you will recall, was supposed-
ly for Harris, which apparently
didn't seem to mean, much to the
majority of Republican voters in
that ward.
AN APPRECIATION.
It was very thotful of Secretary
Chas. S. Smith, of the city depart-
ment of public safety, to call our
attention to the cartoon, “Progress
of Civilization,” on the first page of
this paper, and very kind indeed of
the editors of The Lakewood (0.)
Post, in which it appeared last week,
to aid us so materially in securing
the same, While we are expressing
our appreciation, we must not for-
get another old subscriber of The
Gazette who never falls to call our
attention to things of exceptional in-
terest and value to our readers, and
that is Mrs. Ida B? Wells of Los An-
geles, Cal, a former resident of
Cleveland, and another long-time

gotte. It was Mrs. Wells who called

Orangeburg, N. Y.—Kid Choco-

bout with Jackie (Kid) Berg, is first
a showman and then a good fighter.
He likes nothing better than to put

down Broadway handing the popu-
lace an eyeful. He has 114 suits, al-
most as many pairs of shoes, and it
is utterly impossible to calculate the

Godfrey Drops DeKuh 8 Times.
Big George Godfrey, heavyweight
de luxe, did the expected, Tuesday
night, at Taylor bowl before 2500
fight fans. He knocked Arthur De-
Kuh, big heavyweight Italian, to the
floor five times in the third, and
twice (before the finisher) in the
fourth, of their scheduled ten-round
bout. ' George, who weighed 255
pounds, “played with” Arthur, the
first two rounds. The latter weighed
218 pounds. DeKuh was so greatly
outclassed that the fight was tame.

Pittsburgh, Pa. — Eddie Tolan,
sprint-star of the University of Mich-
fgan, again beat out his old rival,
George Simpson, of Ohio State uni-
versity, to win ‘the 100-yard dash
final in a stirring finish at the Na-
tional Amateur Athletic union cham-
pionship here, last Saturday after-
noon. Tolan, holder of world’s record
of 9.5 seconds, was clocked at 9.7
seconds on the track somewhat damp
from recent rains. He flashed into
the tape a couple of feet ahead of
Simpson after collaring him at the
50-yard mark. Simpson was ahead
of Russell Sweet of the San Fran-
cisco Olympic club, who was third
with Cy Leland of Texas Christian
university, fourth. Simpson won the
220-yard dash in 21:3.

Detroit, Mich.— Inasmuch as
Young Jack Thompson of Los An-
geles, welterweight champion of the
world, when he won the title from
Fields, fought the fight of his lite,
he {s retracing the movements he
made before the Fields fight. He
came ‘here shortly after the Freeman
match was signed in Cleveland, re-
cently; employed the same sparring
partners that he used in training for
Fields, trained at the same gym and
adopted the same training routine.
Tommy McGinty of Cleveland, pro-
moter of this title fight, which is to
take place in that city, next week
Friday night, at League park, on
Tuesday posted $3,350 with the
Cleveland boxing commission as
bond for the preliminary bouts. He
was told by Chairman Edwin D.
Barry that the principals would
weigh in at 1 o'clock the afternoon
of Sept. 5 and if either scaled over
the 147-pound limit, there would
absolutely be no fight.

CONCERT FIT FOR EMPEROR.
Paris, France.—Wednesday, at the
Hotel Imperator, the assembled col-

that was fit for an emperor and his

Jackson, our candidate for state representative," on the Republican ticket, this fall, reminds us that Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker, chairman of "The Jackson for State Representative Committee" ought to relieve Mr. Perry's present embarrassment by resisting from office in the committee. Then it may be possible for the chairman of the committee to sign or have his or her name signed to all of its communications and not make it necessary for Samuel V. Perry, "director" of the committee, to do so in part or in whole. Hazel's present political course is at variance with that of the Republican organization and Perry is one of its endorsed candidates. He would not have been renominated but would have a loyal support of the organization and of our people. Hazel is most too bright a woman to fail to see the wisdom of "The Rounder's" suggestion and to fail to act upon it.
Last year one of the most enjoyable social events of the fall season was the clam-bake and picnic in Mt. Pleasant. It was so successful an affair, especially the clam bake, that its memory still lingers vividly in minds of those who were fortunate to have such an experience, the "Rounder" being one of the Dr. Edward A. Bailey who so kindly drove us in his fine auto to the Mt. Pleasant function. This year, it is all to be repeated on Labor day, Monday, at Vass Park, stop 24% Kinsman Rd., under the auspices of the Kinsman Heights Men's club Shaking, dancing, dancing and music by dancing, the Kinsman Rooms will be other features of the holiday function.

short of that level. The man arrested was discharged in police court, last month, because police had no search warrant when they arrested him. This time the raiders carried up six men and picked up six streets, alleged to be selling policy chances. A squad under Sergio T. Yaradraska arrested two men at E.101st St. and Cedar Ave. for the same offense. Central police station held eight other men and two women. Tuesday, arrested within 24 hours, 10:45 a.m., Adwitz's drive on racketeers and undesirables. Only one man was in his "blue book" of suspected racketeers.
During the recent primary campaign the local daily papers, particularly the Democratic Plain Dealer and The Press, did everything in their power to throw a "monkeywrench" into the George B. Harris political machinery of the local Republican organization. The object of the campaign was clearly to cause all the trouble possible among the Republicans of the county and thus help to re-elect Ray T. Miller, the Democratic County Prosecutor. No sooner had primary day passed than both of them came out in long editorials "roasting" the Republican leaders they had helped to win the nomination. The disclosed the fact that they figured that Atty. Arthur H. Day, as the Republican candidate for County Prosecutor, would be easier to beat on election day than Atty. Geo. B. Harris who had the support of the local Republician organization, the Cleveland Bar association, the Citizens League and the Republican thing to the Republicans of this county to do is to "turn the tables" on them, and the Democrats of the County, by electing Day. It would be a very proper return for the politically piratical course The Plain Dealer and The Press pursued in the primary campaign. The News' support of the entire Republican ticket may make some sense, but in course during the primary campaign cannot readily be forcetted, even if forgiven.

Anent the question of Ed.

We replied, "Possibly they would be if their workers were more dutiful. Fortunately, most of them, if not watching the clash or sweet dreaming of their affinities, are generally engaged in magnifying their own abilities, minimizing their employers', and fondly calculating how long the business would last should they leave.

Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.
My dear Friend Harry:—I want to thank you for publishing the article from "The Union," and the congratulations, coming from you.
And I thank you again because a word, to my mind, spoken to spread cheer while we are alive and can hear it, is far better than a lot of flowers after we have passed and can't smell.
I want to congratulate you and your splendid paper, "The Old Reliable" Gazette, on your forty-seven years.
I know it has not all been sunshine but you had the courage of your conquest and now you relish your reward. My prayer is that the Lord will spare you to round out 50 years (or more) in 1933. I want to come to Cleveland and help stage a big celebration in your behalf. May God be with you till we meet, next month.
Your old friend,
Charlie (C. E. A. Hunt).

Fingerprints Received by Telephoto
EVELOPMENTS in modern communication are stacking the cards against criminals who gamble with time and distance to escape the law.
With the development of the telephotograph process by engineers of the Bell Telephone System, police officials have at their disposal a means of flashing photographs, specimens of hand-writing and fingerprints from one city to another at lightning speed.
Fugitives from justice, who formerly escaped when several hours and a few miles separated them from their crimes, now may be identified in a distinct city within a few minutes through the use of telephotographs.

IN GEORGE'S WARD?
Six election officials of Precinct J, ward 18, were discharged, Aug. 13, the morning following the recent primaries because they took until 2:30 A. M. that morning to complete their tally of ballots and then took five hours to go from the booth to the church where the lice conducted an unsuccessful search for them. Louis Simon, clerk of the board of elections, announced the foregoing, last week, and that he would recommend that the board also discharge the six officials of Precinct J, ward 18, whom he called "the most important reprimanded for their conduct in tabulating the primary returns."

abeth Robinson, presiding judge of the precinct, and David Quinn, one of the witnesses, were rivals for the office of Republican precinct committeeman, and on the first count, Miss Robinson appeared to be the winner. On a second count, however, all three were found to have dispute arose and, rather than try to settle it themselves, the workers left the matter for the board of elections to decide and made no entry on the tally sheets for the committeeman contest. Instead of placing the ballots in the envelope reserved for disputed ballots, however, they placed them in the sealed bag which the election board is not permitted to access.

THE NEW SILHOUETTE FROM HAT TO GLOVES AND FROCK IS OUAINT
WIDE WORLD PHOTO
IN LACE used in a trimming way designers are finding a most intriguing proposition. Not just a casual thought, a passing fancy, is this lace trimming note. Rather is it being made one of the outstanding features in dress design. With the vogue for lace used with fabric at its beginning, the prospects are that "the best is yet to be" when fall and winter fashions get into full swing.
The picture presents a very lovely printed chiffon frock, its brilliant flower colorings contrasted by insects of exquisitely sheer black chanilly lace. This gown has one of the new skirts with an extremely wide hemline which is fitted smugly at the hips with fitted down pleats. The latest theory among fashionists is that no matter how full a skirt be at the hemline it must contrive in some way or another to be tight fitting at the hipline.
Evidences of a profuse use of lace made up with fabric are given in advance styles recently displayed. One
THE NEW SILHOUE
TO GLOVES AN
HERE we have the picture of a perfect summer afternoon costume—that is Parisiennes see it. The explanation is that it's smart to be quaint. When it comes to dressy dress as distinguished from sports costumes, all fashionable Paris has gone quaint and we are getting that way over here in America, too—wearing big bonnet-shaped hats and long black suede gloves and shoulder-cape effects and fchu-like collars and long skirts and short bodices with ribbon tied about the waistline. The picture tells it better than words, for each of these details is featured in this ensemble.
As to the skirt of this white-and-black crepe model, which, by the way, is a Jenny creation, the matter of it's snug-fitting hipline is highly significant. A close observation will reveal the fact that the very latest dresses make a point of a molded-to-the-figure silhouette when it comes to the tops of their skirts with hemlines accenting a super fullness. This is accomplished by means of pokes, of sitched-down pleats, godets set in below the hipline and innumerable other devices.
Don't Th But Give it
very gracious gown combines black transparent velvet with black lace, using the latter for yoke, sleeves and a deep flounce on the skirt. To say that this alliance of lace and velvet is effective but mildly expresses it.
Not only is all-black lace used on black, but cewt tones are sponsored. The newest sleeves in afternoon silk frocks are of lace from the elbow down. Dresses of this fabric or that will, this fall, be lavishly detailed with lace glets, deep reverses, yokes, insets and all sorts of lacy fantasies.
That charming custom of trimming with yards and yards of lace edging sewed row and row has been revived. Young girls are wearing wisome, quaint frocks this midsummer of organdie, net or batiste, not forgetting chiffon, the full skirts of which are adorned with one row after another of val edging arranged in graduated groups, the lace edgings bordering the neckline and finishing the sleeves.

TTE FROM HAT
D FROCK IS QUAINT
WIDE WORLD PHOTO
The idea of wearing gloves, not the time-honored buttoned types, but soft nonchalant wrinkled-at-the-wrist pullons, is taking a definite stand in the world of fashion. To be ungloved is to ignore an important style mandate. So gloves it is, whether sleeves be short or long or minus. As to the washable cotton slip-on gloves in past tins to wear with summer frocks, counters where they are sold are being besieged by smart young things who delight in engaging in all the latest style "stunts."
As to the matter of black-and-white or white-and-black, Paris is loath to depart from it. Leading French contourers continue to exploit the combination with sustained enthusiasm. Among the black-and-white modes are such interesting expressions as half-inhalf frocks, that is, the yoke, sleeves and lower portions of the dress is of white chiffon, the rest of the gown being of black chiffon.
Especially in "first" hats for mid-season and early fall is emphasis placed on black with white.

ESTIMATING COST OF CAR FOR HOME
ESTIMATING COST OF CAR FOR HOME
Where Records Are Kept Real Running Cost of Machine Easily Found.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
or Agriculture?
Many men who do not see the advantage of other home accounts like to keep records of the cost of owning and operating their rentals. Perhaps this is because the man of the house has more to do with the car than with other family commodities. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture has provided a special page for the automobile in the household account book it has designed. In the directions for keeping home accounts, the person who writes the record, whether husband or wife, is reminded of the various items which should not be overlooked in connection with owning and running the car.
Makeup of Complete Picture.
A complete picture includes not only expenditures for gas, oil, repairs, tires and other replacements, fire, theft and liability insurance, tax, license plates, care such as washing and greasing, and garage if one is rented; but also annual depreciation as shown by comparing the turn-in at the end of the year with the buying price or list value at the beginning of the year. Cars depreciate both from use or wearing of parts, and from obsolescence or style changes, even when used very little. The turn-in value of a used car often bears little relation to its mileage or the care given it. Interest paid on installment notes and loss of interest on capital invested would also be added in an exact computation.
The real running cost per mile is easily found by dividing the year's total cost for all these items by the year's total mileage. Some people reckon their cost per mile only in terms of gas, oil, and repairs or replacements.
As the running cost of a car will differ but little whether one person or five ride in it, it is obviously economical for a family to use this means of transportation, especially for long or roundabout trips. It may also happen that for the sake of companionship on such trips, an automobile owner will offer to take friends with him. This is a very delightful form of hospitality which is most drivers enjoy. Another plan is for four or five friends to divide among themselves the cost of a long journey. But in this case it happens quite commonly that an unintentional injustice is done the owner of the car in estimating what this cost is. The real running cost includes "overhead" as well as cash expended en route.
Running Cost Per Mile.
To illustrate: Assuming that Mr. A owns an average medium-priced car, its running cost per mile, including everything, would probably range between 6½ and 7 cents. The United States government reimburse its employees using their own cars on government business on a basis of 7 cents per mile. Mr. A and four friends, taking a 500-mile trip on an expense-sharing basis should estimate the total cost at $35, although less than $10 may be spent for gas and oil en route. A moment's thought should convince the fair-minded that either before or after such a trip the car would require putting into good condition; following it, washing and greasing would undoubtedly be required, the tires would be more worn even if not immediately replaced, and other expenses due to conditions of the trip might appear. While depreciation may be partly a matter of time as well as of mileage, these other costs are inscapable for the owner. The fact that his friends have had pleasure, comfort, convenience, and, after all, cheap transportation in the car, should lead to a generous point of view on their part in sharing the cost of the ride.
Q. When was the first oil well drilled?
Ans. Seventy years ago at Titusville, Pa. The start of the great industry was made when a well with a daily flow of 1,000 gallons was brought in.
Q. What should be done when a car is hard to start?
Ans. Have battery tested, make sure connections are clean and tight, check the spark plugs and breaker points for proper adjustment, and examine the choke.
Q. How many cars and trucks were produced in the United States and Canada in 1929?
Ans. Five million six hundred and 51 thousand, an increase of about 22 per cent over the previous year. Production included 4,846,000 cars and 805,000 trucks.
Q. How much gasoline are American motorists estimated to have used in 1929?
Ans. Approximately fourteen billion gallons. This would make a lake five miles in diameter and four miles deep.

POLITICS
Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker, who was* dropped from the Republican executive committee—she was succeeded by Jane Hunter—today declared: "Being on the executive committee doesn't mean a thing. All you do is say yes to everything that said." Both Mrs. Walker and Norman McGhee expressed displeasure at the selection of George as ward leader. Both predicted George wouldn't hold the job for more than his present term. During the past campaign George did not join with them in the election, and the colored words which Bundy led. "The Cleveland news, Aug. 18, 30
"Sistah" Walker seemed mighty sore over being dropped from the local County Republican Executive committee. What The News quotes her as saying reminds us of the old expression "sour grapes." "She suah was making a face" when she said she was not getting what she earned, deserved from the local Republican organization which had been good, too good to her for some years. Wonder if Councilman George had anything to do with McGhee's recent loss of the investigator job? "The Rounder" knows that he was sore with Councilman George before he bleached (white), 18th ward leader until Saturday when Skinkle turned the leadership over to George. Councilman George's and Payne's belated refusal to be longer blindly by the erratic "bobblegush" Bundy, when they left the Day candidacy and went to the support of George B. Harris for the Republican nomination for the first open "break of the Blossom Triplets." George's and Payne's political future is dependent largely upon their maintenance of that independency.
At the political meeting held in St. James A. M. E. church, Thursday evening, Aug. 7, Ralph Donaldson, local political writer for The Cleveland Plain Dealer, said Bundy dared Maurice Maschke to try to "dethrone" him politically, saying: "I am a member of the Republican party. We make the war we can make. And we make the war we can make them. I haven't any fight on with any bosses, and they'd better not make any fight on me."
Wonder what Bundy meant when he used the words "dethrone" and "we"? The people of the third councilmatic district will do the "dethroning," next year in the fall. And if it is the people he classes himself with, when he uses the word "we," he sure is talking as silly as when he uses the word "stills." He sits on a "throne" of his own words, has sure been riding to an awful fall almost since the day he entered the City Council as a member. There can be no doubt of this now. Then, too, his associating himself with the people, in the use of the word "we," is one huge joke because they are only waiting for next year, in the fall time, to put the political skids under him. Then that threat of the "bosses," which had reference only to the leader of the local Republican organization was enmiled that it made all smile. As easily was his discussion of "leadership" and threat to unhorse Herman Finkle and Alex. Bernstein, leaders in ward 12, saying that: "Some day a 'Negro' is going to 'call' for them." When he calls, if he ever does, he sure will have to be other than a "Blossom Triplet." Our people of this community have had quite enough of them, particularly the bobblegush. Finkle and Bernstein have done and are doing for our people of ward 12, and the entire city, ten times more than the three "Negro" councilmen combined. Continuing, Bundy said (at this same meeting):
"This matter wouldn't have arisen had we had the kind of leadership from the other group that would have elevated and helped my people. I was talking about the kind of leadership that comes in and leads us on to leadership. The kind of leadership" in our group is being furnished by "The Blossom Triplets," please? "The kind that comes in and leads us only to exploit" (using Bundy's own words, as quoted in The Plain Dealer of Aug. 8, 1930), and everybody knows it. Instead of "elevating" and "helping" our people, just see what they have done weeks alone to say nothing of since the year. May the good Lord deliver us from such leadership just as soon as possible and in any way he sees fit to. We surely do not want any more such "Negro leadership" as has been furnished us by "The Blossom Triplets." In concluding his speech, Bundy said:
"It has been said that I am slated for execution."
AGREED! That's true! The people of the third councilmanic district were done the slating and will to it that the political execution of the "bobblegush" and the other two "Blossom Triplets" will take place promptly, next year in the fall time. He also said:
"I asked my colleagues to stash by me in support of one candidate, and I was led to believe that all three of us were for Arthur Day. was my impression, he had agreed, then day a conference called. The other two decided to go another way, but I stood where I was."
Yes, George and Payne "did agree" to leave the Day candidacy and "go another way," to the Harris candidacy with the local Republican organization which decided overwhelmingly to do that very thing. And they were gone in so doing. It has already been with their membership committee, at the local County Republican convention where Bundy was most decidedly "out of luck."
At this St. James church meeting State Senator Geo. H. Bender urged
our people to "free themselves from the political yoke" which he said "had meant bondage for other independent groups in other parts of Cuyahoga county." Well, now, that's just too bad, isn't it? Wonder what influence that, and other like statements from the same source, will have on the senator's candidacy for Congress? Will it help or hurt his Democratic opponent, Congressman Robert Crosser, who is seeking reelection for the third or fourth time? Nuncleman George also spoke at this meeting, and the "the audience was hostile, George stood his ground and made them like it," and demanded to know "what in the name of God had the fitness of Maurice Maschke, to be the head of the Republican organization, to do with the question of whether Day or Harris should be nominated?" He asked this question, of the "hostile audience" and the erratic "bobblegush," Bundy. No one answered.
OPPOSE MARTIN'S CANDIDACY.
The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, Tuesday, of a letter, under date, Aug. 15, 30' from Wm. R. Conners, requesting him to attend the meeting held in the Western Reserve Republican club rooms, Wednesday evening, in the interest of Atty. Alex. H. Martin's candidacy for judge of the Common Pleas Court, and held a meeting because we are opposed to the Martin candidacy for the following reason:
Several months ago Mr. Emmett Meade, E. 130th St., this city, one of our leading and most loyal business men, introduced a resolution in the East End Republican club committing that organization to the ousting of "Color-Line City-Hospital" Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, which Alexander H. Martin opposed and "talked to death," showing such interest in Blossom's candidacy at that time, for reappointment to the office of welfare director, as to amount to disloyalty to at least those of the race in this community. Martin's most reprehensible course in that matter so far other loyal members of the race in association upon the meeting, and Mr. Meade, to withhold another resolution he had, providing for the endorsement of the Martin candidate.
All of our many readers will readily recall the fact, stated so often in these columns since the first of the year, that it was this same man Blossom, who for quite five years denied our boys and girls only the right to train in the City hospital, and is still doing so, contrary to custom, law and about everything else just. For quite five years, Welfare Blossom has thus held up our people and fore the eyes of the entire community. Alexander Martin knew and knows this, and still has the temerity to ask our people for their votes to help him be elected a judge of our Common Pleas court! What sort of a judge, if elected, would such a "Negro" make? How far could we trust him in any matter that paralleled the Blossom-City dispute line? Matter? Prior to the East End, Republican club meeting — Martin — Blossom — "sode." The Gazette's editor had promised to support the Martin candidacy, but promptly and publically withdrew that promise immediately after Martin's opposition to and killing of the Meade anti-Blossom reappointment resolution. By that dislayed action, Martin placed himself squarely alongside the Blossom Triplets who, after many weeks' diligence themselves and power to help every Blossom, wound up by "waiving" their opposition to that individual and thus paving the way for his reappointment which followed. Such disloyalty cannot be glossed over or overlooked! But every one of the guilty individuals must be held strictly to account by the loyal of the race in this community, if we are ever to make anything like the progress we are still struggling so hard for. After next year, we want Martin to office to misrepresent us, and Martin has proven himself to be one of that kind. So we do not want him! Those we have cannot be gotten rid of until next year in the fall-time. But it will be done then just so surely as there is a Lord in heaven, Martin, the original chairman of the Blossom-Gregg "jim-cim" hospital committee of two years ago, has no more chance to be elected a common cleriman George, Payne or Bunce to be re-elected to the city council in November of next year.
