Albemale laws. October 1, 1831 Similar statements are signed by Ada Wright, mother of 17-year-old Andrew and 14-year-old Roy Wright, and Ida Norris, mother of Clarence Norris. In a statement issued, Monday, Atty, Clamlee reports: "Fort, Beddow and Ray, attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P., have filed a letter in the office of the clerk of the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Ala., stating that they have withdrawn and requesting that their names he marked off of all napers MARTIN STRIKES BAR ASSOCIATION At Atty, L. J. Pridgge's Great Mass Meeting in St. James Church—Firemen and More Police—The Speakers. A large and very enthusiastic audience was present at St. James A., M. E. church, last week Friday night, at a meeting sponsoring the candidacy of Atty. Louise J. Pridgeon for City Council in the fourth district, Prof. Ray C. Miller, registrar of John Carroll U., a splendid candidate for the school board; Atty. Paul Lamb, Atty. Alex. H. Martin, Atty. Sol Danaceau, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, Atty. Louise J. Pridgeon and others spoke. Editor Smith, the principal speaker, spoke at length on the urgent necessity of electing Atty. Pridgeon to the City Council to help represent the fourth district, and our people of the rest of the city cited several instances of the courage and determination she has exhibited in endeavoring to better conditions of our group, and enumerated several instances where members of the race had failed to be appointed to city jobs because of our lack of leadership in Atty. Pridgeon's type. He particularly presented the present encumbents, Payne, George and Bundy, to oust Blossom as welfare director in accordance with their promises and pledge of two years ago when they were seeking the people's votes. Mr. Smith received tremendous applause. Atty. Pridgeon talked very interestingly of her candidacy and outlined her platform as follows: Strict and intelligent economy, a larger and more efficient police department, a more equitable representation in city employment, a careful and intelligent study of unemployment and enactment of legislation to alleviate suffering caused from unemployment. She especially emphasized the lack of sufficient representation of our group in the police department, and how Pittsburgh with a population much smaller than Cleveland had 65 members of our group in the police department; how Detroit had more than 100 colored policemen, with several sergeants and lieutenants; how St. Louis had more than 75 with about 25 members of the fire department and Cleveland, with about nine police officers persons, had only nine police officers out of fourteen hundred on the local police force, and no firemen at all. The surprise of the evening, however, came early, soon after Atty. Chester Gillespie introduced Mr. Paul Lamb, prominent local attorney, both members of the judicial committee of 40 of the Cleveland Bar Association. Gillespie praised Mr. Lamb for his part in securing the C. B. A.'s recommendation of Alex. H. Martin's candidacy for municipal judge. Atty. Lamb talked on the ideals of the Association and its "unselfish" effort to select the highest calibre of men for election to the municipal court bench. He praised appeal of our eight Scottsbore, Ala. boys, sentenced to death on framed charges of rape, when their case is heard in January before the Supreme Court of Alabama, is contained in a sheaf of statements and affidavits signed by the boys, their parents, and their nearest kin, and just sent them to the court. Most important of these statements is dated Oct. 1, '31, and signed by the parents and the nearest kin of the boys. It reads: former Attorney General, as and he has entire control of on for the advancement of colored the cases as its services were of kin to the guittabor boys we have not employed any one con- kr. Charles's employment was en- centrated the cases at our request it ever since, and our boys have ment and they are minors and under or employing attorneys under the Ciaud Patterson gammal Patterson Vickie Montgomery Linda Johnson Jim Owens merritt Williams in the case. If any newspapers want to know whether or not Beddow has quit the case, I challenge them to wire C. A. Wann, clerk of the Circuit Court, at Scottsboro, for a verification of this letter. "All the boys say they want us to go ahead with their case and we have a contact signed by all the boys in all the cases, kind and acknowledged before a notary public at Kilby Prison, Montgomery, Ala." I. L. D. Martin as a member of the C. B. A., said he stood high in the legal profession, was well-learned, and endorsed him as being qualified to serve on the bench, calling attention to the fact that 1,400 lawyers in the city recommended but did not endorse the Martin candidacy. Coming in soon after Mr. Lamb, Mr. Marrard heard about all of the latter's talk about the law, who took a subject, "Idealism and Law," he poked fun at "the established idealism" of the C. B. A., terming the organization un-American as to the principles laid down by Thomas Jefferson. He further stated that the association utterly refused the recommendation and elevation of one in its ranks to a position on the local municipal court, purely on the basis of color, but holding his legal ability and citizenry, and wanting to respect for a minority group. He also led the work of the local bar association, in its recommendations and endorsements, as being biased, un-American and lacking in the ideals if professes to hold. A REVOLUTIONARY WAR SPY. Richmond, Va.—(CNS)—Research recently, into the musty old records of Virginia covering the period of the Revolutionary War, has brot to light the interesting fact that in Hensing's Statutes-at-Large for 1786 there is recorded an act of the General Assembly awarding freedom to a slave (James) of Wm. Armistead of New Kent County, for voluntary service as a spy for Marquis de Lafayette within the British lines in 1781. The legislative act relates the James Jawahir, the service of the marquis of Lafayette "at the peril his life found means to frequent the British camp, thereby faithfully executing important missions entrusted to him."

He was a former local preacher of Oakhill Ave. A. M. E. church.—The young people's lyeum meeting, Sunday, from 5 to 6 p. m. at Belmont "Y" was ably addressed by Attic. C. H. Crumpler. He discussed very interestingly the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law, making clear what it meant to our people of the state.—Funeral services for C. Parker, who died last week, were held at Jerusalem Baptist church, Friday afternoon. Rev. Sanders, pastor, officiating.—St. Agustine E. Chapel's homecoming celebration, Sunday evening, was an exceptional success in many ways. Rev. W. B.

Walker, who has returned to Ohio State University, is a major in the social science department. OCTOBER 24,1931. COUNCHMAN F. W. WALZ. Sterling Friend of the Race Whose Restoration Opened City Hospital to Our Intereses and Student-Nurses, the First of Last Year—Vote for Him! Dr. F. W. Walz, of the first district, is generally conceded to be the people's best representative in Cleveland's City Council. One thing sure, he has a body, and he people have in that body, and he proved it by introducing and securing the passage of a resolution, the first of last year, which opened the City F.W. WALZ Hospital (which had been closed to us for more than four years) to our girls and boys to train as student-nurses and internes. Dr. Walz did this and nobody else. and if our graftie in Lindale else would graftie in Lindale to associate a friend (and we believe they do), every one of them will vote for him on election day in November. Dr. Walz is an independent, and not aligned with either party. More than thirty years ago, the Republic came to know of this (Cuyler) and a sterling friend of the editor of The Gazette then as he is now. FROM "DOWN HOME" A Former Clevelander Writes Interestly from the South—The Market Overrun With Cotton Less Complaining Than in the East and West. Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. 19, 1931. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—I hope these lines will find you well. Did you get my card from Idlewild, Mich., where I spent the summer? I expect to be here this winter with my son, Dr. R. T. Johnson, dentist, and his wife. This is a real pretty place. So many of our people here have nice names, and there are 21 letter-carryers, 18 Afo-Americans. There are a 18 churches: 28 Baptist. In a business way, it is dull here and the markets are overrun with cotton. So it makes the general depression very bad, the you don't hear as much complaining as in the east and west. My daughter-in-law has a beauty shop here. With best wishes for your success and happiness, I am Sincerely yours, Sadie J. Brooks CANDIDATES FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE How the Candidates, Recommended By the Bar Association, Were Charged The candidates for Cleveland Municipal judgeships recommended by The Cleveland Bar Association were chosen not by any small group or committee, but by the entire membership of the Association. Questionnaires regarding qualifications for judicial candidates were sent to 2,033 members of the Association. 1,238 members expressing their judgment as to the industry, knowledge, patience, courtesy, judicial ability and moral courage of the men who had been on the Bench and were still on the Bench. The judgment of these members was also given as to the ability, honesty and integrity of the who, who had never been on the Bench, and who did not answer to whether they would make good judges. On the basis of the joint judgment of these Bar Association members, a list of recommended judicial candidates was made up and sent to the entire membership. 1,420 members of the Bar Association cast votes which resulted in the list of recommended candidates. These candidates pledged themselves not to solicited funds at political meetings. The Bar Association is undertaking to assume the responsibility of raising the necessary campaign funds and of conducting a campaign in keeping with the dignity of judicial office. Chas. A. Fox, E. 103d St., is on a week's vacation in Chicago visiting his niece. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DR. C. W. EVANS OPPOSED THEM AND SUPT. GEO. E. McCORD ,EIGHT YEARS AGO, A Candidate for Re-election Who Should Be Unitedly Supported by Our Voters—James H. Lee and Other Friendly Candidates. (Special to The Gazette) Springfield, O.—The opening of the fall campaign is marked as usual by activity in rounding up "the Colored brother." This applies particularly to candidates for the City Commission, where the struggle is between the city government and the privilege of handing out contracts for public work that will result from the building program for the relief of unemployment, gas and electric franchises, etc. Weekly meetings are being held in the Yellow Springs St. and Clay St. sections. The speakers have generally favored Seabrooke and Whitacre, the anti-administration candidates. There is some resentment against the action of the zoning board in refusing to permit the Catholic Franciscan Sisters to operate a hospital in a property they had purchased on the corner of High St. and Belmont vein, when the new City Commission was squares away on High St. It was rumored at the time that the residents of High St. objected because of the practice of the Franciscan Sisters in caring for the suffering without any distinction as to race, creed or color. The action of the zoning commission was vigorously denounced by Monsignor D. A. Buckley, who is in charge of the Catholic churches of this city, in an open letter to the press. The promise of lower gas is not to be insufferable the popular fancy. It is not to be insufferable the other side is idle. Being on the inside there are signs that they are supplied with the "evidence of things hoped for" and Burmeister and Good cards have appeared in windows in the Colored sections like dandelions after a rain. Of more interest is the contest for member of the Board of Education where there are three vacancies with sixteen candidates in the field. Two of these are Colored: Mrs. Myrtle M. Burns of the undertaking firm of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Burns, who is running as an independent, and James H. Lee, who is one of the candidates of the Communist party. Mrs. Burns' candidacy is the result of growing dissatisfaction at the continued right of the right of qualified Colored workers' employment where tax-money is spent is the idea of her declaration for "a square deal for all", as was more fully explained at a meeting at Mt. Zion church where she stated that it was her purpose if elected to contend for the employment of qualified Colored persons as teachers without any segregation of teachers or pupils. A non-political organization which has become interested in the movement, sought to get an expression of a questionnaire. To date only the sixteen have replied. Of these Mrs. Burns and the three Communist candidates gave that were satisfactory. The other two, Stanford L. O'Hara and Charles T. Penee, were for the employment of Colored teachers without committing themselves on the matter of segregation. Among those not replying were the administration and anti-administration group. The administration candidates are: Mrs. Nellie M. Geron, E. F. Myers, the two present members of the board, F. A. Lyle. The attitude of this group is indicated by the reports that he came to the writer that Mrs. Geron who is the leader of this group, has approached several of our citizens with the proposal for a "jim-crow" school with Colored teachers, giving the usual Ku Klux reason, that our children should be taught by their own people. This is significant in view of the recent announcement from Columbus, several weeks ago, of the Ohio Ku Klux program for "jim-crow" schools. It is not likely that the citizens who so definitely rejected the proposition, eight years ago, would fall for it now, especially the example of Columbus, where they had led the "experiment", and are now trying to get rid of it. The anti-administration candidates are headed by Dr. W. Evans, another member of the present board, with Mrs. Elizabeth Rivyan and C. W. Gebhardt. Dr. Evans elected to the board that fired George E. McCord, eight years ago, when he (McCord) attempted to make of Fulton a "jim-crow" school. He has been successful in holding his place as an opposition member largely by the support of our voters. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Aro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSBEST AND BEST published in the interest of Aro-Americans.

Their platform, in addition to no discrimination as to creed, color or nationality, are for feeding the children of the unemployed, opening the school-building at night for public meetings, and car-fare for children living at a distance from the school. Mr. Lee was an active and faithful member of The Civil Rights Protective League which handled the Fulton school fight. AN INNOCENT OLD MAN Forced By the Inhuman "Third Degree" to "Confess" Murdering Four Persons—Philadelphia Daily Record Comment. Snow Hill, Md. — (C.N.S.) — Following sixteen hours of "third degree" tactics on the part of white brutes, law-officers, Orphan Jones, 60 years old and demented, "confessed" to the murder of a white farmer, his wife and his two daughter last Sunday. The confession came from a calling mob was outside calling for his bloody pictures of what happened to Jones is picturesquely described in an editorial appearing in the Philadelphia Record, a daily newspaper of that city, which is quoted here in part: A Lynching—By Officers of the Law A glowering moll mobs about the town in a small town; muttering threats against an innocent prisoner held there, accused of ghastly murders. "From a hidden room inside a wall of agony is heard. The crowd stirs with satisfaction, but is still restless. To quiet it a deputy appears on the steps and gives an assent, and will never come out of there alive." "More shrieks and moans. They come from the battered lips of a 60 year old Negro in that hidden room. He is strapped in a chair. Officers of the law surround him, roar questions and imprecations at him. "When he answers, or when he does not, they strike him in the face, beat his body, twist his manacles limbs." "This goes on for SIXTEEN HOURS. At last the bleeding, painting figure 'breaks.' He gasps out a confession. A doctor is summoned to dress his injuries. What is this dreadful picture? "It represents the sovereign State of Manifesting the law,' its agents performing the ritual of 'administering justice.'" "There can be a measure of understanding for the anger of the mob which prowled outside the building, lashing itself into demands for a player. But what can be said of the officials who sated their fury just as the mob wanted to do, and did it deliberately, in calculated ferocity? "Was their treatment of the helpless prisoner any the less a lynching because it stopped short of putting it down? Because it was perpetrated not by an excited mob but by men sworn to uphold the law? "Why did they do it? "They were satisfied that the prisoner was guilty. They knew that there would be little difficulty in getting them for orderly trial, in getting the evidence in, "The they had at their command the entire machinery of the State. They had men to gather evidence, prosecutors to prepare the case, iron bars to hold the accused, law to try him, courts to condemn him. Yet with the arsenal of power they were impelled to resort to pure savagery, to prostitute their authority, in order to extort a confession that would save them the trouble of doing their duty." The "Keed" Wins, as Usual! Jersey City, N. J.—Kid Chocolate, the Afro-Cuban who holds the junior lightweight championship, had an easy time, Wednesday night, scoring a three-round technical knockout over Al (Rube) Goldberg, New York veteran, in their ten-rounder at the Hollywood Arena.

OCTOBER 24, 1931. "NEGROES, A MENACE." the pastor of Quinn A. M. E. Chapel, E. 130th St., this city, permitted Wm. R. Hopkins to speak in that church, Sunday evening, in the face of the fact that Hopkins when city manager said that most of the members of that church—"Negroes" from the South since 1917—were "a MENACE to this community." It was Hopkins, too, who for more than four years kept our boys and girls from training (as internes and student-nurses) at City Hospital, a public institution maintained by the taxes of ALL the people of Cleveland. No member of our race in the second councilmanic district, who has any self and race respect, can possibly vote for Wm. R. Hopkins on Nov. 3, '31, and retain either. His insuling "MENACE" statement (to the local daily press) and his "City Hospital" treatment of our young folk, referred to, aligns him perfectly with Ku Klux Klan sentiment of this community. No loyal member of the race can vote for Hopkins, Nov. 3, 1931. THE LEVIDO INDICTMENT. Assistant County Prosecutor Norman S. Minor informed The Gazette the first of the week that Sam Levido, confessed murderer of the school-child, Ethel Taylor, age 13, who was shot to death, recently, defending her honor in an upstairs' apartment of a house in Croton Ave., had been indicted for first-degree murder by the grand jury on Oct. 16, '31. That was the charge that should have been placed against Levido in the first place instead of the one of manslaughter, a lesser crime. All of our people of this community are expecting our assistant county prosecutor to see to it, as far as it is in his power so to do, that Levido is convicted of first-degree murder and given the limit of the law for such a brutal crime. The fact that he killed the child while attempting to outrage her, if indeed he did not succeed in doing so, justifies the severest sentence for the crime or crimes he has committed. Atty's Lolise Pridgeon, John E. Ballard, chairman of the executive committee of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, and Norman S. Minor are entitled to credit for their activity in the matter to date. Nothing short of a conviction of Levido, on the charge of first-degree murder, will satisfy our people and all fair-minded persons in this community. WHY THIS DIFFERENCE? According to The Cleveland News of last week Friday, Oct. 16, Isadore Groner (white) who was wounded in the hold-up of his grocery in E. 55th St., Wednesday, Oct. 14, died late Thursday, Oct. 15, at Charity hospital. The confessed murderer was captured, Friday, Oct. 16, '31, and with his two associates in the crime, was taken directly to the grand jury, last Saturday. But how different was that of the young Italian who is said to have raped, and confessed to the murder of one of our little school-girls, recently. Atty. Louise Pridgeon, who will be our real live representative in the next City Council, experienced the greatest difficulty in having the girl's body examined at the morgue and also in not letting that murderer moron (Sam Levido) off on a manslaughter charge. Public officials must see the "do nothing" policy of our supposed councilmen, "The Blossom Triplets," which allows any and all kinds of illegal and shameful treatment of our citizens. Girls are illegally deported from the city, little girls raped and then murdered, our young people chased out of public bathing pools and off public beaches, young men and women assaulted by taxicab drivers, innocent persons' homes raided, respectable young men chased off the streets, and not one word of protest from "The Blossom Triplets!" There never was so much discrimination, intimidation, prejudice and misrepresentation in the city of Cleveland as there is today. Now it is up to our voters! If they desire to put Cleveland, once the fairest city to our group in America, in the same class as the many "prejudiced hell-sholes of the South" then return "The Blossom Triplets" to the council and continue to suffer this reign of terror. Some years ago Councilmen Herman Finkle and Thos. W. Fleming out thru the City Council a resolution preventing the local Ku Klux Klan from parading in this city, thus bringing upon themselves the undying hatred of the whole K. K. K. The miserable organization's headquarters, at Atlanta, Ga., immediately began a campaign to punish Finkle and Fleming. After much time and at a great expense, the latter was finally "framed", sent to the Ohio penitentiary and shorn of his political power. But Finkle has been able, to date, to prevent them from "getting" him. After the last city election, when three Afro-Americans were elected to the City Council the K. K. K., in order to put over its program against Finkle, resorted to the old southern trick of playing on the gullibility of certain local "Negro leaders". They (the K. K. K.) selected a former loyal member of their organization, an outstanding local independent - Republican who had formerly been active in the councils of the Klan, to do the dirty work. Our three "Negro" councilmen, it is said, were offered very prominent local political positions, exceptional political power, and various means of making themselves wealthy, if they would help elect City Manager the aforementioned independent-Republican and help kill Finkle politically. Our three "Negro" councilmen have apparently, blindly, or otherwise, allowed themselves to be used to carry out the plan of the K. K. K. in its entirety, for they started an open fight on him as early as last year. They also attempted to overthrow Atty, Alex. Bernstein as Republican leader of Ward 12. Finkle and Bernstein, brothers-in-law, are Jewish and among the best friends our people of Ward 12 and the third councilmanic district have in the city of Cleveland. Now, all good citizens who are opposed to the K. K. K. ought to vote against "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy) and defeat the program of the Klan to "get" Herman Finkle on election day in November, as well as former Councilman Thos. Fleming. They can vote for Atty, Louise "ridgeon" in the fourth district; Walter L. Brown, Rev. J. W. Ribbens, Garrett E. Morgan or G. C. Lacey, in the third district, all members of the race, candidates whose political connections make it impossible for the K. K. K. to use them as tools. Therefore, let all of our loyal members of the race in the third councilmanic district vote for Finkle, and to kill the Klan—our bitterest enemy. GREGG AND GEORGE Dr. E. J. Gregg of the third district was named a district physician by City Commissioner Harold J. Knapp. Monday. The position is under civil service. The elected as an independent Republican. Former Councilman Gregg on entering the city council, nearly four years ago, attended its Democratic caucus. But in his second year, 1929, he voted at times with both the Republican majority and the Democratic minority. Near the close of his two-year term, both parties read him out and he was defeated for re-election, two years ago. This as the result of a fight led by The Gazette which opposed him particularly because of his vote for Ex-Councilman Orlikowski, a Bohemian Democrat, for member of the City Civil Service Commission, and against Hon. Harry E. Davis, a member of the race, who was finally elected to the position by a majority of one which included the vote of Councilman Clayborne George who arose in the meeting and apolized for voting for Davis. Just at his time, it is well to remember George's action in that matter. Some weeks ago, Gregg announced his candidacy for re-election to the council. In recent weeks, Payne and Bundy the other two "Blossom Triplets". George being one, announced that they had secured Gregg's withdrawal from the councilmanic race as the result of an agreement that he be given a position as "assistant health commissioner." This undoubtedly explains but does not justify even his "temporary" appointment to any position by a Republican! That is the least that can be said of it, at this time. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, G.

The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! In ward 17, the "Citizens" League, Mayo Fesher, see, turned down (as a candidate) Bundy and labeled Lacey, "preferred"; in Ward 11, it labeled Payne "qualified" but "recommended" Rev. J. W. Ribbins, labeled Edward Robinson "not qualified" and Mrs. Arneita M. Rodgers as "qualified"; labeled Atty. Louise J. Pridegeon of Ward 18 as "qualified." The county's largest payroll in its ditch-elimination program, $22,836, was distributed, Saturday, at Lakeside Ave, courthouse to 1,051 men who worked last week's shift. Both employed during the week constituted a new record since the ditch jobs plan became effective, several weeks ago. At least 1,000 men will make up this week's shift. See your councilman at once and get a job—if you want one. "Three brothers from down home," one of them very aged, started, late last week, to wreck a house next to the southeast corner of Central Ave and E. 36th St., and with it tipped over on one side with a great deal of the lower part of the house carried away before being stopped. They began at the bottom instead of starting at the top and, too, without any orders to wreck the place, if they were the same shape of the three were given six months in the workhouse and fined $200 each, it is said. As an exhibition of nerve or ignorance, or both, the "brothers" sure take first prize. Dr. E. J. Gregg's appointment appears but "temporary" and for the "winter season" only, according to the civil service commission and Dr. H. J. Knapp, city health commissioner. It is currently and locally insisted that those two "Blossom Triplets", Payne and Bundy, boasted, some weeks ago, that they had secured the withdrawal from the councilmanic race of Dr. Gregg, former councilman, with the promise of an assistant health commissionership. Therefore, this district physician's appointment, even if only "temporary" and for the "winter" season, "fits into the equation" and has caused no end of criticism to be showered upon the heads of both candidates for re-election, Bundy and the Republican? This appointment ought to have gone to Dr. Edw. A. Balloy, Dr. Joe Thomas or some other one of our loyal and active Republican physicians. Will Payne, George and Physued ever learn "what it is all about"? They insist on making one political blunder after another, and this has been the case ever since the first of last year. Democratic speakers. Wednesday night, accepted the challenge of Republican to make City Manager Daniel E. Morgan the issue and launched an attack on Morgan's record which was led by Assistant County Prosecutor David R. Hertz at a meeting of the 33d Ward Democratic club. He charged Morgan with having accepted the appointment as city manager after a secret caucus in the legislature to make a deal with Councilman Leroy N. Bundy, Lawrence O. Payne and Clayborne George, the result of which was he was forced to give former State Senator George H. Bender a job as stadium commissioner. This undoubtedly explains why the "Blossom Triplets" "Afro-American supporters, the leading ones, particularly, have not received any appointments, last and this year from "The Triplets" "GOOD - BYE, George, Payne and Bundy!" The Cleveland News of Sept. 4 says: "Gee, Graham, of 6521 Scovill Ave., employed as auto driver and helper at the garbage department, was fired, altho Supt. Seth Nickens said he was a satisfactory employee and wanted to keep him on the job, but that "high authorities" had ordered him. Graham says, "on Tuesday, Aug. 11, a friend and I went to Dr. Bundy's office to find out why I was laid off, and to get him to have me put back to work. Bundy said I did not pay my dues to the 17th and 18th Ward club-$1 to join and 25 cents a month. Bundy said I owed $3 for eight months, and that I owed $10 for the campaign. My friend paid $3 to Dr. Bundy and Bundy told me he was going to work on the following week. I am not on the job yet," he said. Sept. 4 Warren Fields, 7319 Central Ave., who had worked at the garbage plant since 1919, was fired on June 1, without any reason, along with 45 others. Now 46 times $13 (the Graham price) equals $998, a nice little graft. Is County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller asleep or is this the price the Democratic party is paying for the fight to try and dethrone the Republican City Council floor-leader. Herman Finkle, our good friend, and the 12th ward leader, Atty. Alex Bernstein? The Rounder isn't the only one who is wondering if Councilmen George and Bundy's Democratic indorsements by The Cleveland Plain Dealer were secured as a result of their Finkle opposition, last and this year. Wonder if they promised not only to continue to oppose Finkle in the present campaign but also to oppose the re-election of City Clerk Fred Thomas in case of their being victorious (something not generally expected) on Nov. 3, 1931? Payne couldn't very well enter this agreement owing to the fact that he has his publicity manager, Harvey Atkins, a resident of ward 15 (George's ward) when appointed, as a deputy clerk in Thomas' office, the Plaintiff. Why is it not to anything because Democrats are not voting for Republicans, these days, and this of all years, because they are banking on making a cleanup of Republicans on election day. Why is it, this fall, we don't hear so much about Bundy's "running Maurice Mashke out of the 17th ward" if he went there "to make a political speech" as we heard, last fall, from him? And is it true "Col. Silk Thompson, civil service employee in the street department, made a speech at a Bundy house-meeting, recently? Last fall, the local daily papers published a statement to the effect that Bundy's Arthur H. Day campaign activity secured him $1,000 campaign funds. Of course, this may not be true. But he sure is making that sum, this fall, if the judgements against him down in court room 1 of the municipal court are any indication. The editor of the Gazette got a judgement against him for more than $400, several months ago. GEORGE'S "BAD BREAK"! Astonishes a Large Audience in a Church—The Pridgeon Candidacy Now Leading in Ward 18. The meeting at St. James A. M. E. church, Monday night, sponsored by former J. B. Simmons, Jr., supporters, who out of courtesy invited Councilman Clayborne George to attend, all but ended in a fist fight orriot. The Simmons supporters, it seems, had early in this campaign aligned themselves with the candidacy of Atty. Louise Pridgeon, who was also invited to attend the Ward 18 mass meeting, but who was abused by the audience to give its first choice votes to Mrs. Pridgeon. This so enraged George that he arose in the meeting and astounded everybody not only with the language he used but also as a result of its delivery, etc., it is said. The pastor of the church, Rev. D. O. Walker, had great difficulty in preventing personal attacks sooted grew the controversy resulting from Atty. Sahco's timely urge. The arrival of Atty. Louise Pridgeon later helped "to pour oil on the troubled waters." She was greeted with unbound enthusiasm. It was remarked by several persons at the close of the meeting that Councilman George is not only losing his political fight to "losing his head," apparently it is also "losing his head." Certainly added to his large circle of friends among our people by his sterling loyalty to the candidacy of Mrs. Pridgeon. THE NOVEMBER CRISIS "Don't buy where you can't work" counsels Editor W. E. DuBois in an article called "Buying and Selling" appearing in the November issue of The Crisis, magazine. "In the present depression with jobs at a premium, the Afro-American finds him selfless as he is forced to spend his money where he is denied a chance to earn," he says. Haitians Grateful. Stenio Vincent, president of Haiti, in a letter in the November Crisis expresses the gratitude of his countrymen for the fight Afro-Americans have made in their behalf. He says. "In espousing the cause of their brothers in Haiti they have been most generous and their efforts have already brot forth appreciable results." He also congratulates The Crisis on its twenty-first anniversary saying that it deserves the thanks not only of the black race but of all humanity.

That is one sure way to train tiny bowels to healthy regularity. To avoid the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure to gain, and other ills of constipated babies. Forty-seven years of practice taught Dr. Caldwell just what babies need to keep their little bowels active, regular; keep little bodies plump and healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized in the treatment of women and little ones. He attended over 3500 births without loss of one mother or baby. ding It Reading It
