COOPER. Governor Myers Y. Cooper has been the executive genius directing the activities of the most business-like administration Ohio has ever had. He should by all means be returned to the statehouse for a second term. Pre-election days are open seasons for promises and pledges. Two years ago Candidate Myers Y. Cooper made many promises. There was to be done, because the state had witnessed years of Democratic sloth, waste and inefficiency at the capitol. Today Governor Myers Y. Cooper comes before the people seeking re-election. And he can proudly say that every pledge he mad has been fulfilled. 40 GOV. MYERS Y. COOPER. Here, briefly, is the record of 20 months of progress. The Pence law, which allowed utilities to boost rates before justifying the increases, was repealed. The old election code was overhauld. The state library was reopened. A department of aeronautics was established. A sound conservation-law law was enacted. The department of office building project was launched. A "blue sky law" with teeth was passed. Workmen's compensation claims were settled more speedily. The state government was conducted economically and carefully. Although the administration paid debts of Governor Donahay's regime amounting to $6,303,329; although $2,000,000 more was spent for education; although welfare operations were expanded; and although taxes government will have an unencumbered surplus of $5,000,000 by Jan. 1. More miles of highway were constructed than in previous years, and the unit cost was sharply reduced. The taxes on insurance premiums, on corporations and on owners of property abutting state highways were cut. The welfare program was developed never before. In two cases the administration has vided for increasing the capacity of penal and welfare institutions by 5,527—more than in the last decade. That does not begin to tell the whole story. One could go on to tell how Governor Cooper acted quickly to relieve the unemployed, how his program was used as a model by the national administration and how it won commendation from President Obama. He should not forget to tell how political foes made painful efforts in the courts to block progressive projects. Governor Cooper's opponent George White of Marietta, has served in Congress and has had wide political experience. But his record does not approach that of Governor Cooper, and he has not yet developed a reason why he succeeded the president governor. Governor Cooper should be given another term in which to carry on the magnificent service he has rendered Ohio. — Editorial from The Cleveland Daily News, Oct. 21, '30.

P. to Debate the Parker Incident With Its Assistant (Now Acting) Secretary—The Ohio Outlook! Columbus, O.—U. S. Senator Roscoe C. McCullough of Canton, candidate to succeed himself, was invited, last week Friday, by the N. A. A. C. P. to debate in Columbus, Oct. 29, his vote for the confirmation of Judge Parker of North Carolina. The invitation said Walter White, acting secretary of the organization, N.J. State senator, debate with the senator if McCullough accepted. The Ohio branches of the organization recently adopted resolutions opposing McCullough. Leading members of the Cleveland branch particularly, and others in the state, are not functioning with the rest of the state organization, and the national body, in its fight on the Senator, it is said. This is having a negative effect on weaker N.J. A C. P. opposition, of this, the baneful effect of general unemployment, the active opposition of organized labor, and that of the best state and local tickets the Democratic party of Ohio has had in twenty-five years, and one can readily see what a predicament our party is in, this fall. Regardless of what they do in the case referred to in the foregoing, our people of Ohio should not fall to vote J. Brown, Attorney General Gilbert Bettman and the Hon. Harry S. Day for state treasurer, a position he held most acceptably, some years ago. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN OHIO MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO OUR PEOPLE OF THIS STATE AND COUNTRY AT THIS TIME. Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch's Position Misstated and Misunderstood—Parker Vote and Why— Friendly to the Race—"The Big Issue." The Negro, as an American citizen, should be interested in all the policies of government that point to the welfare of the commonwealth, generally, and especially those that effect his rights and opportunities, as a particular group. At election time such a proposition is proper that he be informed must examine it carefully, lest one's prejudice be aroused and over-shadow his reason. An opposing candidate on party is quick to sizeen an opportunity to point out and magnify any real or imaginary evil that has been done to the Negro. It is wise for the Negro to investigate this pre-election political friendship that he may know whether an act or attitude is real interest in his welfare and whether he is the political advantage of an opponent during a campaign. Real issues are easily bid in a campaign, for platforms may be so adroit drawn that even a past master in politics may be deceived in their real meaning. The most heated contest in the present campaign in Ohio seems to be between the candidates for United States senator. The alleged opposition of Negroes to U. S. Senator Roscoe C. McCullough seems to have been the vote for the confirmation of Judge Parker, and the other on a statement in his speech which said that he had no apology for this vote. There seems to be no other objections. So far as the vote for Judge Parker is concerned, we did not approve it, when we read it in the public press. Since the vote was made we have given some attention to the case, and after securing more light on the situation, we know that Mr. McCullough is not the avowed enemy of the Negro some would have the "colored brother" believe. Men are human whether acting in a game of ball or in congressional legislation. They never reach the point of perfection in judgment or skill. It is much easier to discover a mistake to avoid making one and it is often well before that judgment on another's act, to as far as possible put yourself in the actor's place and then determine what you would have done under like circumstances. It should be remembered that Mr. McCulloch was a newly appointed senator by the governor, who is the head of his party in the state. When Judge Parker's name was submitted for confirmation to a seat on the supreme court bench, Mr. Hoover, the head of the party in the nation, requested him to vote for the confederacy and not personal. The question would naturally arise as to whether he at the very beginning of his senatorial career would defy both state and national administration. He chose to stand with the administration. When criticised for his vote, Mr. McCulloch stated in his speech that he had no apology to make for his vote. Which shows that he is brave and not afraid of criticisms after having done what he considered best under the circumstances. When this statement is analyzed it is not reasonable to suppose that he meant that he had been a criticize or that he had taken with the party whose creature he had become thru appointment? The creator is always greater than the creature. In this same address Mr. McCulloch stated that he did not vote blindly or supinely, but made investigations and from the information secured felt warranted in voting for the confirmation. Suppose Mr. McCulloch was mistaken in his decision and action, Mr. Parker was defeated and has dropped out of the picture. If it were even conceded that he made a mistake, was it grave enough to take his senatorial seat from him and give it to one who is out of harmony with the administration, and for our group, inquired with those who are avowed enemies? Do you have a ball team put a player out of the game forever because he makes a mistake, which loses a closely contested game? If we understand the score card there is a column for errors as well as for scores, which suggests that the best players may have something registered against them. Which is the better plan, to judge a man by one act or a career? This campaign between Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Bulkley should be judged by their private and public careers rather than on a vote that THE GAZETTE is the oldest print publication of the kind, and has the largest bone fido circulation among Ohio Aro-Americans, double time of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWEST AND BEST published in the interest of Aro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS KLEY! MERIAL CONTEST AT DEAL TO OUR PEOPLE COUNTRY AT THIS TIME. Lloch's Position Misstated and Marker Vote and Why— since—"The Big Issue." Mr. McCulloch cast and Mr. Bulkley did not cast, for we have no spoken or written guarantee that Mr. Bulkley will not vote continuously for such confirmations or laws even more objectionable. Because of the fact that we should not senate we should be careful as to who occupies it. for in the course M. ROSCOE C. MCCULLOCH of six years a senator must vote more than once. How will the hundreds of votes be cast in reference to the Negro? A fair comparison can be reached when both men are examined, in the light of the party platforms that they pledge to support and their past attitude towards the Negro. If Mr. Bulkley's party platform and his past private and political history are sufficient to justify of justice and fair play under the constitution and laws, the Negro should not hesitate to vote for him. But, ah, there is the rub! Mr. Bulkley's party is responsible for every legislation in the states against the Negro. On the other hand, Mr. McCullock's party, not only in the federal government, but in every Federal state and world of the Negro his legal rights. If the two parties are compared the Negro for self preservation must select the Republican party. Comparing the two men: Mr. Bulkley, during his two terms in congress, voted at every opportunity against restrictive immigration, which affects every Negro laborer in America. He believes the right and the repeal the 18th amendment, whilst Mr. McCullock while in congress voted for strict immigration; for the Dyer anti-lynching bill and for every measure favorable to our group. Citizens should vote for the best men and measures. It should be kept in mind that each candidate belongs to a party which has a his age, nationality, and the annals of the government and that is capable to vote for a man without voting for his party and the principle for which it stands. It should not be over looked that U. S. Senator Cole Boley boldly expressed the attitude of Mr. Bulkley's party in his recent campaign, so far as the Negro is concerned; and Mr. Bulkley be elevated he would be allowed to participate his party, notwithstanding that Mr. Blease lives in the far south and Mr. Bulkley in the north. They are twin brothers by all the political ties that have bound the Democratic party together from 1860 till today. The issue most vital to the Negro in this senatorial campaign is the 18th amendment. Mr. McCullough has unqualifiedly announced his loyalty to the constitution and intention to uphold and retain the 18th amendment by his vote. Mr. Bulkley equivocates. Which should the Negro give this senatorial vote to? Tampering with the constitution is the most dangerous work that a congressman can engage in. We are absolutely opposed to a return of the open saloon, notwithstanding the defective enforcement of the prohibition law. The open saloon, however, would be more welcomed (Continued on Page 2) One Year ..... $2.00 Bix Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1930. We want to urge our voters of the state to be very particular to vote for Clarence J. Brown, secretary of state; Gilbert Bettman, candidate for attorney general, and Harry S. Day, candidate for state treasurer, all on the Republican ticket. Do not fall to do this, because each one of these three men is a sterling friend of the race who is entitled to re-election and to our united support. George Watteau, Afro-Englishman of Chiselhurst, London, Eng., the only survivor of the Livingston exposition, recently celebrated his eighty-eighth birthday. A fine looking old man whose appearance does not indicate his years. While the Afro-American, Matt. Henson, age 64, of N. Y. City, second-in-command and the only surviving member of those of the Pearly expedition to reach the North Pole (and on foot, too), is not as old as Mr. Watteau, he is apparently in excellent health also and making a splendid appearance. The U. S. Supreme court, the first of the week, refused former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming's appeal with a view to securing a new trial. Thereupon, County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller rushed Fleming to the county jail. Tuesday night, where he was when we went to press and while Atty Alex. H. Martin was endeavoring to secure his release, first thru the medium of an alternative writ of habeas corpus and later on bond which Judge Baer denied. Fleming's incarceration was unlawful, to say the least, because no official statement from the U. S. Supreme court of the denial of Fleming's appeal had been received by the officials of this city. In the face of the foregoing, just how any of our people in this city and county can vote to re-elect Ray T. Miller county prosecutor is beyond us. IGNORING TOUISSANT. Dispatches to daily newspapers of the country, under date of Oct. 18, '30, from Cape Hatien, Haiti, announced the: "Celebration of the 124th anniversary of the death of Jean Jacques Dessallines, Negro, who expelled the French and established himself as emperor early in the 19th century, broke up at dawn (Oct. 18, 1930) after a night of galley." The foregoing is so contrary to all the history of Haiti we have ever read that we are inclined to believe that it was written by some American "assjack" at Cape Hatten, possibly an American marine, or one of their American sympathizers. The fact is, Dessallines, the second president of Haiti, did not do what the first president, Toussaint L'Ouverture, did when he defeated the flower of the French army, under General LeClerc, the great Emperor Napoleon's brother-in-law, driving them from the shores of Haiti and thus securing liberty and self-government for that island republic. It was of this same Toussaint L'Ouverture that Wendell Phillips, one of the greatest orators this country has ever produced, said in a preoration, after mentioning the greatest world characters, "The historian of the future would dip his pen in the twilight of eve and write above them all, Toussaint L'Ouverture!" who went from the slave shambles to the presidency of a country whose independence he secured as the result of that victory over some of the finest troops in the world at that time. Toussaint was the Frederick Douglass (and more) of that country. Not even an American "assjack" must ignore him and "get away with it." Toussaint's heartrending end of his career was brought about when invigiled on board a warship, on order of Napoleon and carried from the shores of Haiti to the Chateau d'Iff in France, where he died. Atty. Jesse Stephens was born in Braden, Wood County, Ohio, in 1865. His boyhood days were spent on the farm. He attended Braden High school, and completed the prescribed course in 1881. During vacation periods, he assisted his father on the farm. From 1882 to 1884 he attended the Fostoria O. academy and Adda, Normal school, now Ohio Northern University at Ada, and entered the law office of the Hon. Thomas A. Toledo in 1886, where he studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1889, since which time he has been engaged in the active practice of law. The last seventeen years of his professional career have been devoted 307 RED Kyrys Jesse Stephens, to trial Jesse County of Cuyahoga County. He lives on Clifton Rd., Lakewood, and has two sons, one of whom is associated with him in the practice of law, and the other is a disabled officer of the World War. Mr. Stephens has a most excellent reputation, and enjoys the confidence of all who know him. He has more than twenty years of experience yer and is a lover of justice. His professional career has been spent in aiding and assisting people to solve their troubles of everyday life, and should be elected common pleas judge on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 1930. The editor of The Gazette endorses her, because he is capable, experiences broadminded and friendly to our people. Vote for him! VOTE FOR ZMUNT! The Best County Commissioner in More Than Twenty Years—Important Information. The work of the county commissioners consists of more than just the commissioning of county roads. The entire community knows of the good roads of Cuyahoga County as they are traveled daily by thousands, but few know of the human side of the work to complete them. The fact that the county is spending annually apportioned 400,000 dollars and relief work proves the great part it plays in the business of the county. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. The three-tenthts mill county operating levy, if it carries, will yield about $900,000 per year for a five year period. It is planned to use the major part (approximately $450,000) for the operation of 100 new tuberculosis beds at Warrensville and 150 psychopathic beds at City Hospital which will be ready for occupancy about Jan. 1, 1931. There will be a reduction in the County's 1931 tax income, welfare's share of which will be about $250,000. The County Child Welfare Board, which has not been in full operation since 1930 will operate $75,000 additional in 1931 for the care of dependent and neglected children. It is estimated also that the Mothers' Pension Department will require $40,000—$45,000 additional for needy mothers with families. For the care of feebleminded at the new Apple Creek Sanatorium the minimum need is estimated at $75,000. This takes no account of the need of providing additional care for the insane in other than State institutions, and the increased demands for Soldiers' and Sailors' Retirement. It is estimated that these needs, if met, will require another $100,000, making a total of $1,000,000 or $100,000 more than the maximum amount which the levy will yield. The Welfare expenditures of Cuyahoga County are moderate and the number of dependents less than the average of comparable metropolitan communities. The needs have increased with a growing county population and the County welfare authority has made better better able to do constructive and preventive work with those who come under their care. The County has shown a willingness and an ability to organize and maintain welfare work at a high standard and under effective non-political administration. The Commissioners deserve our support in their present effort to extend and strengthen that service. Vote for JERRY R. ZMUNT, the only Commissioner no one for election, at this time. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1930 The Hon. Harry S. Day, Former State Treasurer of Ohio and a Splendid Official—Gave Our People Best Recognition. In the recent state primary, the Republicans of Ohio very wisely nominated the Hon. Harry S. Day of Fremont, former incumbent of the office. Mr. Day's popularity with the people of the state arises largely because of his splendid conduct of the office and treatment of all whom he came in contact, in and out of the office. And this unrelenting desire of citizens without respect to race or color. The same good treatment was accorded all. In the case of our people, Mr. Day appointed three of Hon. Harry S. Day. his fifteen employees. This was one more Afro-American employee than that office had ever had before and one more than it has had since. This fall, more than ever before in years, the state Republican ticket needs candidates strong with the people—the mass of voters of Ohio—and it is a matter of considerable satisfaction for Republicans generally of Harvey Day in Iowa or Day of Fremont they have a candidate that will prove a tower of strength to the Republican ticket on election day in November. It is not necessary. The Gazette feels sure, to remind our voters of the fact that they have a special and particular interest in Mr. Day's success, because it is his purpose to see to it that we are given the same amount of representation in his office force to tell all your friends and acquaintances to not forget that they have a special interest in his success on November 4, 1930. Do your duty! Vote for Harvey Day. S TUBERCULOSIS REPORT After An Extensive Southern Tour —Our Educated's "Lack of Intelligence." Washington, D. C.—The report of Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, professor of bacteriology at Howard University, on a southern tour under the auspices of the National Tuberculosis Association, has just been released in "The Journal of Outdoor Life." The editorial comment on Dr. Algernon B. Jackson. Dr. Jackson's account states that there can be no question that our physicians and nurses should be in charge of our hospitals, sanatoria, clinics, and health centers as a result of the effect, the treatment, and cure of tuberculosis. He also calls attention to the lack of intelligence concerning tuberculosis among educated Afro-Americans but predicts that they will more and more make advances in coping with the disease.

LIFE'S LITTLE JOKES—NUMBER 492.806 TO A PARTY FLEW HIGH- POWERED OTTO MSVEY AND HE SMILED AS HE PASSED EVERY CAR ON THE WAY, Eight Common Pleas judges are to be elected on Nov. 4, 1930, five of these to succeed that number of judges now sitting on the bench and to fill the three new judicial positions created by the last Legislature. Among the season jurists now on bench and seeking re-election is Judge Robert W. Ogden, who originally was appointed to fill the unexpired term of four years and three months, and who in 1926 was elected to succeed himself by the tremendous majority of over 71,000 votes. He is now serving his sixth year as a judge of our Common Pleas court. The judgeseship, now occupied by Judge Ewing, differs from all the others because it will not be until Feb. 8, 1931, while the judges will explain why the contest for this office will be found in a separate place on the judiciary ballot under PETER H. the heading "For Judge of the Common Pleas Court, Term Ending, February 8, 1937. Vote for One." Judge Ewing has but one opponent who is a judge of the local municipal court with a term not yet expired. He is therefore not in competition with any of the judicial candidates making up the field of about twenty-five aspirants for the seven Common Pleas Judges appearing elsewhere on the ballot. His re-election, too, will keep him both his and his opponent in their respective positions. Therefore, a vote for him will not interfere with any voter's choice for the seven other judgeships to be filled. He came to the bench with an unusual background of collegiate and law-school training, and more than twenty-six years' successful practice at the bar during the year he had as partners at different time periods at the Harrison J. Ewing, and J. P. Beverly, two the ablest and best known trial lawyers ever to practice law in this community. Others of his partners were Common Pleas Judge Samuel E. Kramer and Municipal Judge Virgil J. Terrrell. Our readers should know that in 1923 the American Judicature Society, at the end of a survey by some of the most important leaders of legal thought in America, said: "The Common Pleas Court is the most important court in the best trial court in the United States August of this year it said: "This court maintains its high standards of excellence." The official records show that during the past five years the Common Pleas court of this county, tested by the number of cases disposed of per judge, has increased nearly 25%. In this environment, extraordinary efficiency of Judge Ewing is essential to be an industrious, accurate, conscientious and effective judge. The same court records show that during the past eighteen months in the civil trial division which is chiefly concerned with jury trials, the number of cases which he has disposed of has been exceeded by only two members of the court, and that by an inconsiderable margin. In the criminal division, where he is the four months of the September term in the United States of cases which he disposed of personally as presiding judge, as well as the number of cases disposed of by the division during his term, are substantially in excess of the number disposed of by any other judge in that division during the past five years. Judge Ewing has been recommended for re-election by the Cuyahoga County Association the Cuyahoga County Plain Dealer, Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Press, "The Old Reliable" Gazette and the Citizens League. In its Judicial Bulletin just issued, the League says concerning him: "For five years on the bench, he has demonstrated that he is a painstaking and impartial judge; in our opinion he should be re-elected. PREFERRED!" As indicated in the foregoing we are more than pleased to add our recommendation and endorsement of Judge Ewing for re-election, principally because he has always indicated a real friendship for our people, always treating our attorneys with whom he came in contact properly; just as he treats all others. The judge should be afforded to lose the services of this outstanding judge who has so well demonstrated his usefulness in the office which he now occupies. Judge H. W. Ewing. WHILE PERCIVAL BLINKS TO THE SAME PARTY RODE, HE WAS SAD AS HE WENT AT THE SPEED OF A TOAD. THE NEGRO AND THE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN OHIO (Continued From Page 1) that a repeal of the 18th amendment While many white voters are against the repeal of this much discussed amendment, no other group would suffer as much from its repeal as the Negro. The 14th and 15th amendments have never been welcomed nor respected by a certain group. The Negro will be remembered that there are two groups of people anxious for the repeal of the 18th amendment: (1) One class wishes its repeal with a hope of being able to drink freely at will. (2) The other class wants its repeal that it may make the way clear to remove the 14th and 15th, because every time the Negroes have won in the courts fighting for their rights, the decision has been based on the amendments placed in the constitution for the specific purpose of protecting the Negroes civil and political rights. The 18th amendment is the strong outside guard defending the Negroes' constitutional rights wrapped up in the 14th and 15th. If the Negroes, through a spirit of punishment of the Mr. McCulloch, should cast enough votes for Mr. Bulkley to elect him to the senate, and the Mr. Bulkley's vote should enable the oppressors to repeal the 18th amendment, the Negroes themselves could be charged with helping to do which in the future will probably be in the hands of grandchildren when sentiment has been developed strong enough to do with the 14th and 15th amendments what Negroes helped to do with the 18th. This campaign and election will close, Nov. 4th, but the effect of an unwise vote may be felt in years to come. We are for Mr. McCullock because he pledged to vote to retain the 18th amendment, and to uphold the principles of the Republican party. New Native Australians New Native Australians.

In a letter received, Wednesday, from Mrs. Olive Wells Ball of this city who makes N. Y. City her headquarters, she writes the editor of The Gazette as follows: "Enclosed please find two dollars as payment for 'The Old Reliable' Gazette which Mr. Ball and I always enjoy reading. I just returned to New York, yesterday, after a successful run at Shubert's Lyric Theatre. Behind me is Leslie's 'Blackbrids' show. We open at the Royale Theatre, on Broadway, N. Y. City, Wednesday, Oct. 22, for what has been predicted as a year's run. Mr. Ball and I send best wishes for your continued good health, happiness and success." "Judge John A. Cline was chosen a candidate for the Court of Appeals bench by our leader, Maurice Maschke, and we all know Mr. Maschke wouldn't indorse anybody unless he was all right." Hon. Perry B. Jackson, candidate for re-election to the State Legislature, told a Republican political meeting, Sunday, at Second Calvary Baptist church, 12017 Emery Ave. The issue is not a whisky fight, but whether you are a Republican or a Democrat in your state, David Copland, candidate for the Senate. "The Cleveland Bar Association believes the people should not be allowed to see the judicial candidates, but it is your privilege to see the men you are voting for," said Atty. Frank G. Carpenter, candidate for the common pleas bench. In a letter to the editor of The Gazette, the Hon. Harry E. Davis, chairman of the executive committee of the Cleveland arrangements committee for the annual meeting of "The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life & History," which is to be held here from Oct. 26 to 30, writes that the local committee "has arranged a program of meetings and entertainment consisted with dignity and importance of this organization, whom we are hosts. This, of course, involved a financial obligation which has been kept down to the minimum. We (the committee) are now urging that all contributions be sent in at once to enable us to take care of all commitments before the conference convenes." Insist on your friends going to the Woodland-E. 55th St. market. It is convenient, has everything you want and at the most reasonable prices.

Fleming returned to the city, last week Friday, from a brief speaking tour down state in the interest of Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch, Gov. Myers Y. Cooper and the rest of the Republican ticket. She found that a great many of our people were going to vote for Robert J. Bulkley, the Democratic senatorial candidate, against McCulloch, and said: "Some of them are supporting Bulkley because he is wet and some because of McCulloch's vote on Judge Parker. I think that is because they disassemble the situation. I am for McCulloch's vote, and I tell them that McCulloch not against the race and that Judge Parker isn't either." She also said that she was not speaking under the auspices of the Republican state speakers' bureau, but on invitation from our various women's clubs with which she is affiliated. The meeting at Tried-Stone Baptist church, Monday evening, sponsored by the officers of the Empire Savings & Loan Co., was well attended. President J. W. Wills presided and introduced the speakers with one exception, that was Judge Roberts, an attorney for Winners, a director, did the honors. Other speakers were: the editor of The Gazette; P. W. Lemon, treasurer, and Mr. Coleman Chauncey, also connected with the company. The audience was an exceptionally intelligent and attentive one, and generous in its applause. Another meeting will be held at James A. M. E. church, Cedar Ave, at E. 48th St., Monday night. Dr. Sterrett, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, Hon. Harry E. Davis, Hon. Harry C.

Never go to sleep until you have made up with your wife. Don't nag, grouch or sulk. "One of the most fertile sources of crime is the broken home, and children, the most pitiful victims, for instance," the divorce judge said." Judge Pearson said.

EIRICK FOR SHERIFF. Former County Commissioner—Exceptionally Capable—Highly Endorsed. The honesty and integrity of Wm. F. Eirick in connection with contracts for public work has never been questioned. He was County Commissioner for seven years and his record is an open book. He is known as the father of High Level Bridge" for after a period of Cleveland had voted down the different bond issues for a high level bridge. Mr. Eirick established the legal right of the County to build bridges on State and County roads in the city, which made possible the construction of the Detroit-Superior High Level Bridge. He was a member of the commission supervising the construction of the New Court and this is one of the finest structures done in the United States. He is also a member of the commission supervising the construction of the new Criminal Court and Jail Building being constructed on E. 21st St. and will be ready before the end of the year. Mr. Eirick says: "As Sheriff, I will conduct the office in the same careful and conscientious manner as I did the office of County Commissioner and place the county jail on another plane than it has ever been."

Now that the magic touch of genius has made this super-weave of our dreams a reality, transparent velvet has become a household word and a wardrobe necessity. No woman will go through this season without at least one garment of this flattering material, and the discriminating dressed woman is certain to possess at least one evening ensemble and one smart sophisticated street costume developed in this medium. Falling into the new silhouette as if made for it, draping with infinite grace in the classic folds of the much-exploded Grecian evening gowns, lending its warm, colorful hues to the richly furred afternoon styles, interpreting, as it does, chic and charm for the hat beautiful, transparent velvet fills all of the demands of the present mode. Women formerly bought transparent velvet because, though perishable (at least, they thought it was, now we have learned better), it was irresistible. As a matter of fact manufacturers are producing a firmer, stronger weave this season which does not crush easily and which responds beautifully to steam in cleaning. In ATTRACTIVE BACK ARTISTRY OF T THE dressmaker, the conturter, the tailor, who dates to slight back-views, cannot expect to win a diploma or receive honorable mention or even passing recognition in the realm of costume design this season. And since attractive back-views are now considered so essential to good styling, designers are directing much of their time and talent in this direction. Daytime frock and evening gown, sports coat or formal wrap, throughout the entire mode, creative genius is doing its utmost to play up effective back-views. The raodels in the picture illustrate the point to a nicety. In the enchanted gown of black velvet on the skated figure the designer says "it" in regard to beguiling back-views via a graceful capelike collar of handsome late the neckline of which describes a most distinctive decollete. Which is the way of the majority of evening dresses created for formal wear, that of centering interest on novel back-view treatments. Paris evening gowns are carrying this idea of unique back-views to a point of ultra-cleverness. When the decolletage is cut extremely low, then Don't Th But Give it fact, with ordinary care it is not at all difficult to keep fibs beloved velvet well groomed. First of all, the garment should be well shaken to eliminate dust. Then it should be hung in a well ventilated room, as fresh air automatically freshens it. When wrinkles appear after strenuous wear, the garment should be hung on a hanger for 15 minutes in a bathroom with tub half-filled with steaming water. Later, open the window and allow the air to circulate until thoroughly dry. Be sure that nothing touches the garment during this process. Dry cleaning rejuvenates and returns the garment like new. Every house in Paris is showing velvet for afternoon, evening and high noon, this season. It is as fashionable for youth as it is for those older. A street costume for a young girl is pictured to the left in the illustration, fashioned of black transparent velvet trimmed with bandings of cherry-red velvet. Even the hat and the bag are of velvet, which goes to show that it is voguish to be clad in velvet fcm head to foot. The models pictures emphasize the importance of flouces and peplums in present-day styling. As will be seen by the handsome formal velvet gown shown to the right, sprightly peplums animate the evening silhouette with infinite charm.

Then there is that matter of costume flowers, they are positioned in the oddest places, perhaps at the back waistline or outlining an extremely low cut decollete neckline. As to the boleros which flourish in daytime modes they offer opportunity for interesting design, such as the scalloped treatment given to the smart afternoon frock of black broadcloth as shown to the right in the picture. In manipulating capetels and panels and deep collars on the chic frocks of light woolens the fashionist concentrates interest at the back by fastening them there with bows of self-fabric or with buckles or in some other ingenious way. The theory of intriguing back-view is put into practice with as much enthusiasm when it comes to coats and wraps as it is in regard to dresses and the blouse. This is especially obvious in collar treatments which display ingenuity in achieving novelty effects JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Prosecution of crime alone is not sufficient to make our County a safe place in which to live. Former State Senator Arthur H. Day, Republican candidate for County Prosecutor, has pledged that he would make crime less attractive in Cuyahoga County. "As your County Prosecutor, I intend to stamp out the breeding places of organized crime. I will not only content with punish crime after its commission but I will endeavor to prevent crime at its inception." Day said. "I'll effect a liaison between the various law enforcement bodies in the various villages and townships within the county toward the end of an organized drive against all forms of law Senator Arthur H. Day. violation. The habitual criminal will leave Cuyahoga County when I become County Prosecutor. We will attempt, by a thorough study of environment and cause, to prevent the 'first offense' by the non professional crime group. Ideals, to be effective, must also be constructive. Programs of proposed achievement will get nowhere unless they also are constructive. Criticism of conditions must also be constructive." Senator Day also said that the County Prosecutor's duties also included many civil problems as well as prosecution of crime and criminals and added: "The County Prosecutor is the founder head of all of the departments within the County. He is the legal advisor of the various county offices and of the offices of the townships and the villages within its jurisdiction. I am a candidate for the office of County Prosecutor on my own public record, established in elective public office." Mr. Day then pointed out that he had served in the State Senate for four years and had passed on many thousands of bills, all a matter of "Those bills that I voted on and argued for or against on the floor of the Ohio Senate are open to inspection of all people, whether they represent an adverse newspaper or whether they are friendly. I am not ashamed of that record, I am proud of it. Adverse interests have searched that record for a point of attack on my public service. But they have not been able to find one act on which to base their criticism. It is true that powerful selfish interests sent their lobbists to Columbus and attempted to dictate to me just how much they are or that they are. But these lobbists returned to Cleveland knowing that I represented the people and not any special group in the Ohio Senate. They content themselves now in opposing me for any public office to which I seek, for they well know that they will not be able to dictate to me as your County Prosecutor any more than they could control my vote in the Ohio Senate."

Hoover Commission Favors Training Our Farmers Education Association, the Industrial Agricultural Washington, D. C.—Charges of widespread discrimination against Jews in employment and in colleges of the U. S. were made in the American Jewish Congress meeting here, Monday, in a report of its administrative committee, presented by Executive Director Bernard G. Richards. Improved educational facilities along agricultural and industrial lines as a means of bettering the economic status of the Afro-American was recommended, Monday, by the Commission created by President Herbert Hoover to investigate the problem. The commission's report, based on a survey by Dr. T. J. Wojter, jr., of the University of North Carolina, and financed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, found the main factor to be considered was the rapidly increasing population, both colored and white, of the South. BE LOYAL AND SENSIBLE The Empire Savings & Loan Co. held an open meeting at St. Paul Zion A. M. E. church, Monday evening, with a view to increasing confidence in the stability of the organization. The company's recent cash loss of $4180, because of the unfaithfulness of one of its employees, is fully covered by bond, its officials announce, and that ought to satisfy its stockholders, patrons and the general public, especially that part of it made up by our people. The world to cripple, if not destroy, the Empire, is for those who have invested in it, have funds on deposit with it, to sell their interest or withdraw their money now, because that would result in a "run" on that business enterprise that would break the average local bank, these days. Don't get scared! Don't get "cold feet!" There is no good reason for it, as the Empire Savings and Loan Co. will go right on living, and living well, unless our people rush in now and wreck it, and that would hurt all of us in this community by destroying the confidence of the other group, as well as many of our own, and doing business of almost any kind. Don't be foolish! Stand by the Empire Savings and Loan Co., now, if ever! There is only one thing to fear and that is the "brother" or "sister" with "cold feet." To show everybody in the community our confidence in that business enterprise, let us do something material, at once—the thing that makes you feel confident and when it is most needed!

This we readily and willingly did with a sincere hope that our suggestion and earnest recommendation in the editorial be accepted and that our courage to our leading, loyal business men so at least five thousand dollars would be raised immediately to be deposited in the company at once to help restore full confidence in that our leading local business enterprise, and the outlook is that this will be done. Stand by The Empire Savings & Loan Co. everybody. Let everyone who can possibly arrange to do so, go to Tried Stone Baptist church, Monday evening, and hear what President Wills, other officers and stockholder, is the company have thereby.

RE-ELECT COLLISTER Treasurer of Cuyahoga County—An Exceptionally Sympathetic and Efficient and Experienced Official. Announcement of the closing of the county's books on the second tax collection of 1930 was made, recently, by County Treasurer L. G. Collister. Pledged to do all in his power to alleviate the business crisis in Cuyahoga County, he postponed his action until the last minute. "In view of the critical business situation," Mr. Collister said, "I should have liked to keep the books open indefinitely but unfortunately this is not possible. The County Auditor has for some weeks been insisting that the books be closed. His department has been an匀anour of time to complete its part in the work and the time of settlement is close at hand, when funds must be handed over to the various municipalities and departments of government and public welfare for their operating expenses. Under present Co. Treasurer L. G. Collister conditions, when thousands of people are hard pressed for money, thousands unemployed and still more thousands receiving a diminished income would be ideal if the law allowed us to give the people unlimited time in which to pay their taxes. Unfortunately this is not the case. Therefore I have reluctantly ordered the personnel of this department to be The books have been held open this year for many weeks longer than ever before in history, Mr. Collister went on to explain. Every consideration has been shown the tax-payer who found it difficult to meet his obligation to the government. In many cases small payments were accepted in lieu of full payment and this not only helped supply the tax-payer with the dependent organizations with necessary funds, but saved thousands of tax-payers from being put on the delinquent list and having to pay the penalty and interest charges specified by law. Although Mr. Collister's lenient policy it has proved by many skeptics it has proved successful in accomplishing the purpose for which it was devised. The amount received in payments during the first year exceeded any previous collection by more than $3,000,000. It is too early to give out any final figures on the results of the present collection. These cannot be released until the Auditor passes on the books. But he feels certain that figures will compare favorably with those of the first collection. After he had explained the many phases of the complaint for the Auditor's demand the books be closed without further delay, Mr. Collister expressed the desire to convey a personal message to the readers of The Gazette. "You see the clerical work involved in the closing of the books requires several days," he explained, "so I want to urge everyone who has not yet paid his taxes to bring them in to the New Court House at once, as there may still be a chance for some of them to get them in without being classes as delinquents." The Gazette urges all of its readers to vote for the re-election of County Treasurer Colliser, an efficient and deserving official. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY! "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires 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 to make some money. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus, Toledo, Steubenville, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state to whom we can write relative to the matter. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and hearts of friends grow old, but the world, than done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! There is a story going the rounds up town, ever since last week Friday when it leaked out, that Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom threatened to throw "the Blossom Triplets" out of his office when they were harassing him for jobs and appointments, some months ago. Particularly Councilmen George and bitter of this "mistreatment" to lead local Republicans (white), while Payne, the less talkative of the trio (in meetings), sat thru it in silent consent. This is "straight-goods," tofo. It is the truth! What a pity Dud did not carry into effect his repeated threat, the one complained of so bitterly and pitiful? It was just exactly what they had coming for breaking their PLEDGE to the people of third and fourth councilman districts to power to oust Blossom, as well as City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. Instead of doing that, the "Triplets" aided in the reappointment of Blossom. LORD, HAVE MERCY! At a joint-meeting of the East End Political club and 18th Ward Republican club, in the Western Reserve club rooms, Councilman Clayborne George, who presided and who had announced at a previous meeting of the East End Political club of which he is president, that not going to vote for Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch, got furious urging his hearers to "vote for all the bond issues" which total over thirty-eight million dollars, and the interest on which will make taxes and rent in this city and county soar sky-high, according to our county auditor. Some prominent white business man or politician doubtless told the committee that for all the bonds," something we would be worse than foolish, and dumb-bells too, to do! That kind of talk from a councilman, a public servant, is all-but criminal in its harmfulness to his poor constituents, nearly all of whom find it very difficult to exist (not live), these men, or those with eney, or "hard times," to say nothing of paying increased taxes or rent. "It's a matter of bread and butter," said George. That is not true in the case of "all the bond issues," and he knows it. You may talk about this wet propaganda you want and I'm presetly do yourself you know you've got to eat before you can enjoy wine," said George. Councilman George, an active member of Antioch Baptist church, one that bans liquors of all kinds, says he is "pretty damp." Lord, have mercy! Sure, we all know, too, that we cannot get all we want to eat. We can't get all we wanting of "enjoying wine" much as we would like to do so. The problem NOW is to get something to eat, and it is some problem, too. Pass 'all of the bond issues' as George urges and the consequent higher taxes and rent will soon us from eating (if we are doing so now, and there is such that) as thousands can bear witness. Continuing he said: "We are our brothers' keepers, whether we like it or not. It's no use for you to come around later expecting me to help you if those bonds don't pass. That's fine (?) talk now when we are able to "keep" ourselves and our own families as we should and as we were accustomed to. Whether the bonds pass or not, makes no difference to them, say nearly all of George's constituents whom he has not helped; even a number of those he promised to help. So they and all of us run absolutely no risk in these bonds, certainly all those not recommended by "The Old Reliable" Gazette. "My friends," George concluded, with melodramatic gesture, "toogether we eat, divided we starve." "Bush," rot, political buncombe, hot-air, or anything else except the truth, one can term it. We positively do not know a man in public office, unless it be the other two "Blossom Triplets." Councilmen Payne and Bundy, that has the unfortunate faculty of saying and doing something in the wrong way oftener than our apparently spineless councilman from the fourth district, Clayborne George. Among the other speakers at this joint meeting were: Atty. Alex H. Martin, who just thinks he is a candidate for common pleas judge; the individual who talked that Meade anti-Blossom-re-appointment resolution to death in a meeting of the East End Political club, earlier in the year, and Rev. J. C. Olden, a speaker sent to Ohio by the Republican national committee, who tried in vain to paint a word-picture of Judge John J. Parker in softer colors. Parker you know, is a candidate for governor, a candidate for governor of that state, ten years ago, who said "the Negro should not be allowed to vote" and whom President Hoover tried in vain to make a member of the U. S. Supreme Court. Olden spoke well of Robert J. Bulkley, Democratic candidate for U. S. senator, but said: "He must, if elected, go with southern Democrats or be ineffective. You might refuse to vote for Senator McCulloch, but if you do you're all dressed up and have no place to go." Indeed? Ohio Afro-Americans are not taking kindly to the National Committee's sending Washington "Negroes", some office-holders, into this state to tell them what to do. We know! And do not need any advice from any outsider whether he be for or against any Ohio Republican candidate. Olden and his kidney of color, and out-of-Ohio N. A. A. C. P. "orators" will hurt the cause they espouse in this state far more than they will help it. Mark this! VOTE FOR Atty. Frank G. Carpenter for Judge of Common Pleas Court. Atty. Frank G. Carpenter was trumpetly nominated at the primaries, Aug. 12, for common pleas judge of Cuyahoga county for the term ending Dec. 31, 1936, by the large vote of 28,000. The last Legislature provided for three additional common pleas judges for Cuyahoga County. The three new judges will be elected for six year terms ending December 31, 1936, together with four present judges, who are up for re-election, which means for that term, seven Atty. Frank G. Carpenter. judges are to be elected in November. The judicial ballot at the November election will be non-partisan. None of the Judicial candidates will be under any party designation. At the coming election, Atty. Carpenter will try to win one of the three new judgeships, and the fact that he polled so many votes at the trial of the well for a victory this fall, together with the fact that he will not have to defeat some one who is already occupying the common pleas bench. Mr. Carpenter is a man of wide legal experience, having been in the general practice of law for nearly 29 years. He was elected on the Republican ticket and served two terms, four years, as county prosecuting attorney of his native county, and at the presiding time is law duly appointed. He had a great deal of experience in the trial of cases and as counselor; his honesty and integrity is unquestioned, and this background, coupled with his natural ability and splendid judicial temperament, gives him the proper viewpoint to make the right sort of a judge. The editor of The Gazette has known Atty. Carpenter for years and does not hesitate to commend his candidacy and the race he has won. Able manner. He is splendidly fitted for the position and a sterling friend of the race.
