Wilberforce.—Recently, Mrs. Mary E. Turner, age 75, widely known to students of Wilberforce university and to a host of friends as "Mother" Turner, passed away at her home on Columbus Pike. Because of her most affable disposition and unbound generosity to struggling students, Mrs. Turner endeared herself to hundreds of young people struggling for an education at Berea, Ky., her old home, and here, at Wilberforce, where she lived for more than 30 years.

An Ideal Candidate for State Representative on the Republican Ticket—Primary Next Month, May 10.
Atty, Charles A. Spielman, Republican candidate for state representative, was born in Niles, O., near President Wm. McKinley's birthplace; attended country schools, worked as a day-laorer on a farm, as a molder in a foundry and as a machinist. Refused a raise in pay.
PETER H. BURKE
Atty. Chas. A. Spicelman.
from fifty cents a day, by the manager of a machine shop in Niles, he quit the job, hopped a freight-train and came to Cleveland, paying for his transportation by removing a cinder from the eye of a brakeman. Here he obtained employment in a machine shop at $2 a day and attended night school. He was passed an examination for city fireman, serving in that capacity for eighteen years. While thus employed, he studied law at the fire-station under preceptors from Western Reserve University. Resigning from the department in 1912 to attend college, he was presented with a gold watch by associate members of the department which he carries her cherished this Day. His酥平师 attended the Southern University, Cleveland and Cinchnati law schools; enjoyed a summer term at Wisconsin University and studied international law for one year at Columbia University under the Hon. John Bassett Moore. He practiced law in this city, being associated at times with the late Judge John J. Sullivan Attys, Ruel A. Lang, W. J. Woolf, W. L. Eastman, Jude Woolf, L. Eastman and the Hon. Wm. R. Pringle, the酥平师 has also helped to support and educate three needy children. He is a member of the Masonic Order, Cleveland Bar Association, Tippecanee and Western Reserve Republican clubs. From the foregoing the reader will gain sufficient knowledge that will enable him to enjoy many years and his career as a youth and to enable them to realize at once that he will make an ideal candidate for membership in the Ohio Legislature. All his life he has been close to the masses of the people and therefore is familiar with their needs and desires. Such a person makes the best kind of a representative in a legislative body of any kind here, this paper demonstrates, his hesitation commits him in the strongest position to the favorable considerations of law. Do not fail to vote for Atty, Charles A.酥平师 for state representative at the Republican primary, May 10.

these associations. He has also been actively engaged in public welfare work and is considered an able and energetic lawyer by his fellow members of the Bar.
During the war, Mr. Ryan served in France with the 15th New York Infantry, known during the war as the 369th Infantry. This was one of our regiments that distinguished by the valor of the men in the Argonne. The flag of the regiment was decorated with the French Croix De Guerre, and the officers and men highly praised by their French commanders for their gallantry in action.
Seven men and three women were arrested, last Saturday, at Rufus Jones', E. 87th St., and a vandao of furniture, including two locked safes, was carried away. One of the ten was John Hoge, age 31, of Starr Ave., a brother of Frank Hoge, former bondman and also reputed to be one of the "Big Four" policy operators. Hoge, with the others, was released on $200 personal bail. Raiders said Jones, also reputed to be one of the "Big Four", was absent, and told he was "willing in the country." They seized the safes, filing cabinets and two adding machines and ordered everything taken to police headquarters. Evidence that the raided headquarters had connections outside Cleveland was seen, police said.

"Gorilla" Wins, as Usual.
Brenton, N. J.—"Gorilla" Jones,
of Akron, O., middleweight champion,
has abruptly halted the upward climb of Young Terry, "Trenton Buzz-saw." Terry carried the fight to the champion throughout their 12-round title bout, Tuesday night, only to lose the decision on points. Jones had to rally briskly in the last three rounds to keep his title safe. Terry had a margin of five rounds to three after the ninth but the champion turned on the steam to win the tenth, eleventh and twelfth, and with them the decision. Terry was the aggressor throughout the furious fight but turned back hard and beat the depth. Terry was piled up in the early rounds dwindled as Jones doubled him up time and again in the ninth, tenth and eleventh rounds with hard rights to the midsection.
A Pollard Breaks the "Line."
St. Louis, Mo.—More than 25 years ago John W. Pollard "baggaged" his children, including Fritz, Leslie, Luther and John, whom you've learned to know through their ability as athletes, and left the state of Missouri because he couldn't stand so much color-discrimination. Since that time Missouri has known of the Pollards only through the press; they have all been great athletes. But Friday and Saturday, Apr. 15 and 16, "32, a second generation of the John W. Pollards returned here to humiliate the sons of the prejudiced whites who forced his parents to go north. This lad is young Fred Pollard, son of Fritz, former grid star at Brown university, and his glitter on this occasion centered around his great work on the cinder-path of Maplewood stadium. On Friday, Pollard, representing Senn high school of Chicago, set a new track record in the 140-yard low hurdles. Over the distance in 15.4 seconds, then Pollard he came back to win the event, he is for first in the pole vault and equal the distance of several others for second place in the high jump. He was high-point man with plenty of distance separating his perch from that of his nearest competitor.
Breaks Barrier
Pollard was the only athlete representing Senn in the events, and his coming blotted a barrier against our athletes competing here that had stood long enough to be considered almost a law. Binga Dismond had a chance to come here, but stayed away at the request of his coaches; Sol Butler came, but was advised against competing, while Ink Williams, Duke football and Paul Robeson were all refused the chance to play professional football on this city's prejudiced soil. But the young Pollard was different, or did he make it so? Anyway he stole the whole show glory, and attention of the fans. He was the "it" of the biggest meet held in this state which once upon a time proved entirely to "illy-white" for his grandfather.

VERY IMPORTANT.
Atty. Perry B. Jackson, former member of the Ohio Legislature from this county, in an address, last week Monday evening, voiced a timely warning to all of our people of the state of Ohio when he called attention to the Ku Klux Klan's announced program for State Assembly legislation, next winter, most of which is directed against the rights of our people of this state. For many years, all the representation in the State Assembly our people have had has come from this (Cuyahoga) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) counties. Our better and practically only chance for representation in the Ohio Legislature, next winter, rests in this county. Therefore, it is here that our voters must concentrate an effort above the ordinary to secure the nomination of at least one member of the race at the Republican primaries, next month, May 10, 1932. There are four local Afro-American candidates for nominations as state representative and at least one of them must be nominated, May 10. The Ku Klux Klan's proposed legislation, against the vital interests of our people of Ohio, includes bills for separate or "jim-crow" schools and against inter-marriage, both of which as laws would set us back at least a quarter of a century and be most harmful indeed. Particularly vicious would be the law against inter-marriage because, like all other state laws of the kind throughout the country (in border and southern states), it places our girls and women at the mercy of white brutes who take advantage of them in one way and another, and leaves them without any protection whatever under the law. Therefore, the need of Afro-American representatives in the next State Assembly is imperative. The present outlook is that if we fail to elect at least one here in Cuyahoga county, we will be without such representation in the legislature which convenes in January of next
LEGISLATORS NEEDED.
The complaints against the management of various state institutions, made by the Ohio N. A. A. C. P. conference, recently in session at the state capital, Columbus, are undoubtedly well founded and is an additional reason why our people of Ohio must be represented in The State Assembly which convenes in January next. Practically all of the discrimination in the various state institutions has grown up in the last fifteen or twenty years, particularly during the greatest activity of the Ohio Ku Klux Klan, in the last ten years. We need an able, aggressive and fearless representative in the next legislature not to combat the proposed program of the Ohio Ku Klux Klan but also to lead a well-organized effort to wipe from all state institutions the color-lines of various kinds complained of in the state N. A. A. C. P. statement, published elsewhere in this paper. Our people of Hamilton, Clarke, Greene, Franklin, Mahoning and Cuyahoga counties should each have at least one Afro-American member of the next State Assembly. In each one of these counties they are strong enough to secure what they need, along this line, if they will only work together as they should.
THEN AND NOW.
The main difference between the "economic depression" of 1893-1898 and the one of today rests in the fact that banks failed generally and numerously at that time throut the country. The federal banking system of today, principally, has prevented such failures, this time. Grover Cleveland was President of the United States and the Democrats were "in power." Naturally, they were blamed by the masses of the people for the "hard times." This resulted in President
Cleveland's defeat when he sought reelection during that period of depression. This time, the "man in the street" is holding President Herbert Hoover and the Republicans responsible for the present "economic depression." This is not fair nor right, it is true, not near so much as was true about thirty-five years ago, because of tinkering with the tariff laws by Democrats in Congress at that time. Nevertheless, the voters of the country prevented the re-election of President Grover Cleveland and may repeat, this year, in the case of President Herbert Hoover. Therefore, the outlook for Republican success generally, this fall, is anything but good and encouraging, we regret to say.
At the big rally at the Western Reserve Republican club, one evening last week, Ex-City Manager Daniel E. Morgan criticised Gov. George White for his veto of the barber's bill. This is to be regretted because the bill which was directed mainly at our barbers and which as a law would have proven a great hardship to all our people in small towns especially who wished to become barbers, should never have been introduced or passed. Gov. White is due the thanks of our people generally thrust Ohio, especially those in the smaller towns, for killing the miserable bill. It seems that some white Republicans, who have been made and kept in office by our votes, never think of us or that any injustice can be done us. They think only of themselves and their own.
We sincerely trust that our voters of Dayton will support the candidacy for state representative of the Hon. Bert B. Buckley, former state treasurer. They do not need us to tell them why. He has been a sterling friend of the race, suffering the greatest punishment and "set-back" of his life, largely because of an open and aggressive demonstration of that friendship, with which they are doubtless more familiar than we are.
Candidates who ask your support, thru the columns of The Gazette, should have it because we do not publish notices or advertisements of candidates who are unfriendly to our people. Please remember that! This has been our rule for many years and will not be deviated from.

WHAT'S DOING!
Applicants for jobs at the garbage plant some of whom have been successful, claim that the so-called "Negro"-Democratic ward-leaders and assistant ward-leaders are demanding $5 down and $5 a month from each one given a job. They claim that the $5 down is "manual initiation fee" in the pay-day are for monthly dues" in the Democratic ward-organization. What do you think of that?
Last week, Ray C. Miller, and this week Monday, Thos. J. Martin, new members of the local school-board, called the editor of The Gazette on the 'phone and requested him to inform The Rounder that they did not only recommend women of their own group, but that among the 67 were a half dozen or more of our women, at least three of whom were given employment at Central High School. Both gentlemen insist that they are real friends in their face and that as long as they are members of the Cleveland Board of Education ALL persons without reference to group, class or color will be treated the same by them, that is treated right, and The Rounder believes that they are sincere in making this declaration.
Just gaze at the list of Welsh Republican "big shots," published in a Monday morning daily newspaper, whom we that were our good friends, at least fair, and who have profiled by our votes in the past. They seem to have turned their backs on us and don't care whether we have any representation in the Legislature or anywhere else. Were they fair and friendly, at least one of our candidates for the legislature would have been indorsed by them. Sure, we are entitled to at least one of the many places on the legislative ticket. As a matter of fact, we are entitled to several, at least. Here are some of the "big shots" referred to by Ex-Gov. and Ex-Mayor Harry H. Davis, 11th Ward Harry H. Davis, Ex-Clx Manager Daniel E. Ex-Clx Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, Ex-Councilman Alfred C. Jones, Ex-Civil Service Commissioner Dave R. Jones. The round suggests that we remember these gentlemen and the other Welsh Republicans, on that list in Monday's Plain Dealer, when they stand for public office again.

Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years like Pennsylvania and New Jersey The Ohio law follows:

Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county where the mob came, unless there was a law enforcement on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6288. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted, while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the all occupants of a community or any contagents, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is that the court has not issued it as an order they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
COL. T. A. RYAN
The Next Prosecutor of Cuyahoga County Was An Officer Overseas in One of Our Regiments During the World
Atty. T. A. Ryan, the Republican organization candidate for county prosecutor, an officer overseas in the 23d U. S. Inf., and the 369th Inf., one of our regiments in the world war, was engaged in the Champagne-Marne, Alsine-Marne and Meuse-Argonne offensives. Originally appointed a second lieutenant, he was promoted to lieutenant, then to captain and major, and now serves as a lieutenant-colonel in the U. S. reserve corps. The only political office, Mr. Ryan has ever held was secretary of the sinking fund commission in 1919. He has served as commander of the Shupe Machine Gun Post, A. L., and of the Cleveland Grays, and as chairman of the Cleveland American Red Cross. Mr. Ryan was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1913 and in 1930 was endorsed by the Cleveland Bar Association for appointment to a municipal court judgship. The Gazette does not hesitate to urge all of our voters to support Mr. Ryan's candidacy for the Republican nomination for prosecutor on Tuesday next. He is exceptionally well-fitted and thorny deserving, a well competent.

ATTY. DAVID COPLAND.
A Candidate for a Republican Nomination for State Senator—Vote for Him!
We note with pleasure that Atty. David Copland is again a Candidate for the state senate on the Republican ticket. Mr. Copland resides at 2934 E. Derbyshire Road, Cleveland Heights, is well and favorably known throughout the entire county, and has always taken a keen and active interest in civic and
2014
political affairs. He is one of the well-known lawyers of Cleveland, having practiced law for almost 18 years and has earned the respect and esteem of both the bench and the bar. He is a member of the local and American Bar Associations. Since he has specialized for the past ten years in taxation problems, his knowledge and understanding of this vital problem will bring to the legislature a fund of knowledge together with a keen intellect and a broad vision of the many needs and requirements of our county and tsate—the problems now confronting us. In the interests of good government, we can heartily recommend the candidacy of Mr. Copland and feel confident that his nomination at the primaries and election in the fall will bend strength to the Cuyahoga County delegation in the state senate. He is able and can be depended upon to help to the limit of his ability to beat down the State Ku Klux Klan's announced vicious, legislative program.

This Woman Lost 64 Pounds of Fat
Mrs. H. Price of Woodside, L. I., writes: "A year ago I weighed 190 lbs. I started to take Kruschen and now I weigh 126 and never felt better in my life and what's more, I look more like 20 yrs. old than the mother of 2 children, one of 19 and the other 18. My friends say it's marvelous the way I reduced."
To lose fat SAFELY and HARMLESSLY take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—don't miss a morning—a bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a trifle—but don't take chances—be sure it's Kruschen. If not joyfully satisfied after the first bottle—money back.

The Truth!
What would cause other people to gnush their teeth and gird their lions is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip.
CHARACTER
Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-nine years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser.

"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!"
Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor, Gazette.
Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it,
I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold!
I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law to expose it and, possibly himself. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when you, who find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette.
Yours for the right.
John P. Green.
