Callahan, Democratic national committeeman from Wisconsin, sent to the convention a letter urging that Roosevelt be ped as a possible nominee because he would not given him by the Ku Klux Klan. Callahan stated that he had in his possession photostatic copies of letters that passed between Gov. Roosevelt and his campaign manager, James A. Farley, on the one hand, and the organizers of the Roosevelt southern clubs on the other. These letters revealed that F. B. Summers and C. W. Jones, kin sympathizers, both of Atlanta, Ga., were suing Gov. Roosevelt for money expended in his behalf and with his approval. Among this batch of letters two from Roosevelt, one Mr. Jones and a third Mr. Summers, other letters were revealed, which were addressed to Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Farley, and were marked "personal and confidential." One of these letters said: "At the same time, we are making important contacts with labor and fraternal leaders that will be extremely valuable. One of these, and this is for your confidential information alone is with the Ku Klux Klan. We have a large number and, indeed, nation-wide organization, have promised to aid us. As a matter of fact, they have loaned or donated to our organization a large lot of office furniture for our headquarters and have promised much other assistance. It is important that they should not, as known, if it known, hurt your campain in many states with the Catholic, Jew and Negro movements." One of the letters produced by Callahan was on Klan stationary, and was addressed to the Roosevelt southern clubs. It announced that office furniture was being sent them by the Klan. Still another letter was addressed to H. C. Spratt of the American Printing and Manufacturing Company, in the Klan Building in Atlanta. It was signed by F. I. Engles, Jr., acting chairman of the Roosevelt southern clubs. It thanked Mr. Spratt and Dr. Evans (no doubt the former colleague Evans, Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klu for furniture, and added that the Klan support would be of assistance. Since the nomination of Roosevelt, all reference to these letters has been dropped, and it is not difficult to imagine why. Roosevelt, however has never made a statement denying the support of the Klan in Georgia, and, in fact, refused to comment on the matter altogether. A Mob Kills Seven Senatobia, Miss. — A mob of blood-thirsty white brutes, men, women and children, angered because they could not find the man whom they were looking for, invaded the home of a local farmer here Sunday night. Oct. 23, and killed his entire family of seven. Not satisfied, they broke up and served services of our Baptist and Methodist churches and threatened to kill any member of the congregations who objected to their brutal tactics. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Councilman Michell charged, last Monday, at the councilmanic finance committee meeting that street-cleaning funds have been depleted by "payroll loading." This sure is the truth! Vote against the one mill levy, Tuesday, and prevent the Miller Democratic administration from squandering more public money for the benefit of the Democratic party, said Peter Witt in his Public Hall speech, Saturday evening. How can our local Catholics vote for any Democrat when Sid Thompson, a leader in their circles and a civil service employee, was illegally "dired" by Mayor Ray Miller and his Democratic mis-administration? He "turned down flat," Father McKenney, priest in charge of "Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament" church, of which Sid is an active member, when he "went to the front" for Sid. The car-riders on the Superior Ave. line are to have a car every minute during rush hours, while Central Ave. car-riders, with three councilmen, "The Blossom Triplets," George Payne and Bundy, to represent their days and evenings, sixteen minutes for a car. There are only three cars on the entire Central Ave. line. Twenty-four additional motormen and conductors will be added to the Superior Ave. line. The Superior Ave. car-riders have real representatives in the City Council while we have the other officers in "The Blossom Triplets." Lord, have mercy, as the editor would say. War Declared on "The Pewee Triplet." Last week Friday night, the Ingalls-Borton-Norton club held another large and enthusiastic meeting at its regular meeting-place, the church at the cor. E. 31st St. and Cedar Ave. There was a large number of speakers but the "high spot" was not reached until just before it closed. At that time, the president of the club, Mrs. Della W. Clinton, arose and said "the organization has had to overcome numerous unnecessary obstacles placed in its path by Councilman Lawrence O. Payne; that he had done everything possible to discourage the good work done by the club, and also said no one need "snitch," but all were free to say that, with the help of hundreds of disgusted voters of the 11th ward, she intended to start at once and continue to give him (Payne, the least of "The Blossom Triplets") "hell." And apparently she meant just what she said. The I-B-N杯, most- GILBERT BETTMAN Ohio's Republican Candidate for U. S. Senator—A Real Friend of the Race—Be Sure to Vote For Him Tuesday. No man in public life has appeared in Ohio politics in years who has been abler, or had a finer character, or possessed finer ideals than the Hon. Gilbert Bettman, the Republican candidate for U. S. Senator, election, Nov. 8, 1923. He was elected vice-mayor in 1921. Mayor our citizens of that city had occasion to interview him on matters of vital concern to our people there, and our desires were always given due and proper consideration. COURTIME Atty. Bettman was dean of the Y. M. C. A night-law school in Cincinnati for ten years. Prior to his term as dean, it had been the practice not to permit our students to matriculate. Several had made application to be admitted and were refused only because they were "Negroes." A youth of the race by the name of Roberts during Mr. Bettman's administration. applied for admission to the school. Some objections were raised, the he met all qualifications. When Mr. Bettman heard of this incident, he immediately took the position that if color was the only objection, Mr. GILBERT BETTMAN Roberts should be admitted to the law-school. We have been admitted to that school ever since. Record as An Ex-Service Man. There is probably no man in America who can serve for the ex-service man than Gilbert Bettman. He was co-author of the bonus bill. As chairman of the national legislative committee of the American Legion, he appeared before committees of both houses of Congress and was one of the leaders instrumental in getting the bonus bill passed by Congress. 222. Gilbert Bettman was elected state commander of the American Legion. His service in this capacity is generally known by Ohio veterans. As unpaid counsel for the American Legion, he won war-chest cases which resulted in the Ohio Legion getting over a quarter of a million dollars for headquarters purposes. He served as Legion thus established, brot over a million dollars to the Legion nationally. Our World War veterans of Meigs County, Ohio, organized a post of the American Legion several months ago at Pomeroy, under the name of Lewis Manley Post, No. 263. This post authorized its commander to write Attorney General Bettman to donate an American flag to the post. He not only granted the request by sending a large silk American flag, but also sent a representative from his office to present the same at a public meeting, May 14, 1932. Recognition Given. Mr. Bettmann was elected Attorney General of Ohio in 1928. On assuming the duties of the office and appointee, he was recognition was given our citizenry, by映着 as an assistant attorney general of Ohio, Atty. Robert B. Barcus of Columbus. There are about 12,000,000 Afro-Americans. It has frequently happened that men are elected to the U. S. Senate, who are prejudiced and who sponsor legislation that would prove detrimental to our people, we are not the same legal civil or political rights which are vouchsafed all other American citizens. Mr. Bettman is not that type of man or public official. He believes that all American citizens should enjoy and be protected in their rights and privileges regardless of race or creed. He has proven that he has this belief, not by mere words or performance. Every Ohio American, who is qualified to vote on Nov. 8, 1932, should vote for Gilbert Bettman, the Republican candidate for U. S. Senator.—Adv. Enraged by the refusal of an 18-year-old Central high school girl to marry him, A. D. Marks, an itinerant preacher, slashed and seriously wounded her with a knife, last Monday night, and then ended his own life at his home in E. 59th St. The girl, Jennie Brown, worked as a waitress in a Central Ave. restaurant by women, led by Mrs. Clinton, has done and is doing better work in the present campaign than any other of our several political organizations in that section of the city. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER PEV 594 JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, SR. And Senator John P. Green Knew Each Other Here in Cleveland Many Years Ago — Splendid Success in New York and Cleveland. After delivering his political speech, for the Republican party, to an audience of 1,500 in New York City, Oct. 24, former State Senator John P. Green took a train, on the following day, and traveled 600 miles back to Cleveland, to defend Horace Cunningham, a member of the race who was indicted for attempted burglary. At a former trial of Cunningham the jury had disagreed but on this (second) trial, the jury acquitted the defendant. On both trials, the defendant had no witnesses in his own behalf except himself, while the prosecution had two policemen and two other citizens. In a letter, just received from New York by a friend of the editor, is the following statement: "It is the talk of New York—how a man of Senator Green's age (87) could make such a fine speech as he made here on the 24th ult. They are still talking about it. The Hon. John D. Rockefeller Sr. on the eve of the election shows both Mr. and Mrs. Green while here some remarkable courtesies, thru his assistants." BIG LAWYERS' FEES! "Eating Up" the National Benefit Life Insurance Company— Washington, D. C.—Justice Oscar R. Luhring of the District supreme court has signed an order correcting a former order allowing Attys, John E. Laskey and Matthew H. O'Brien, (white), for the receivers of the National Benefit Life Insurance company, $10,000 each instead of $5,000 each. This is only in parity with the order of such payments. They to receive further payments for services already rendered and to be rendered. The fees allowed by the court on account of services now total $20,000. The receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan Jr. were allowed $5,000 each on account of their services in June. Judge Luhring also indicated that he would authorize the receivers to pay Daniel Reeves, receiver, and W. Gwynn Gardiner, his lawyer, for their services during the temporary receivership. He directed Mr. Roper and his attorney to file a statement of their services. TO INVESTIGATE "SLAVERY" In the South Where Southern Contractors Are Shamefully Mistreating and Robbing Thousands of Laborers on Public Work. Washington, D. C.—Last week Thursday, President Hoover appointed Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the U.S. Department of Justice, Jas. A. Cobb of the local municipal court, Eugene K. Jones, exec. sec. of the Urban League, N. Y. City, Afro-Americans, and Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, representing the U. S. army, to investigate the charges that contractors were mistreating Afro-American laborers on federal flood control projects along the lower Mississippi by paying far too low wages and commissaries, maintaining insanitary labor camps and using physical violence in no cases. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compiled with any will imprinted certainly on the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS ERBERT HOOVER. HOOVER AND CURTIS. (Special to The Gazette.) Gov. Roosevelt has intimated that should the Democratic party be successful it was their right to take hold of the U. S. Supreme Court as a part of their prize. Should he be elected the Supreme Court will become an adjunct of the Democratic party. What does this mean? It would allow the party to imprisoned the right to go upon Boston Commons and return a run-away slave South to his master. The Democratic party claims that the right to vote in the South, is peculiarly a white person's and not a Negro's heritage. Under this southern edict, Negroes robbed of their earnings, deserved a fair trial by their peers on juries and made to take the places of dogs, so far as parks and places of recreation are concerned. If Mr. Roosevelt is elected the South will dictate his policies. If the opportunity comes to fill vacancies in the Supreme Court, men of Democratic minds and women of Democratic minds should this happen, every step the Negro has taken towards American citizenship and manhood rights, will be taken from him. No more dangerous a threat could be given to the entire race than the election of Franklin Roosevelt and John Garner. Roosevelt with his part-home in Georgia and John Garner, dictator of Texas, represent all that is dangerous and damning to Negro rights. Every Negro for his self interest should and must vote against these demagogues and America's worst enemies. Negroes may have grievances against the Republican party, and so do people of all time. We must resist the desire of time peril and definite change for better or worse, radicals, sectionists and opportunists of the character of Roosevelt and Garner, should be voted against by every right-thinking voter. As excellent as Mr. Thomas may appear to some, he has no chance of election. A protest vote against Mr. Hoover that will imperil the country and especially the colored voter is not wise at this time. We are going to vote against these men and for the Republican party, and after we have won, we are willing to join with men of courage in formulating the demands for rights and citizenship for our group, and begin a fight for them, from the precincts of the ward up to the Presidency. There should be a demonstration. Negroes have been constitutional rights into which all should go and make America know that we are not going to lie down and take its discrimination and injustices without fighting, and that to a finish. Under the Republican administration we shall have a chance to fight and win. To that end vote for Hoover and Curtis. Rev. Wm. A. Byrd. Making Soldiers Servants.

Judge James B. Ruhl, a life-long friend of the race, should by all means be re-elected. Do not fall to vote for him on Tuesday. --- The Hon. Martin Blum is another friend of the race, we should be particular to vote for, Tuesday. Put a cross in the circle under the eagle at the head of your Republican ticket, Tuesday, and you will not miss voting for any of our good friends. --- Our people of this community have no better friend on the local bench than Judge Manuel Levine, candidate for re-election to the court of appeals. We ask all to give Judge Levine our united support. --- Fred R. Williams, county surveyor whom we have known for many years, has at all times been fair to our people, having employed many Afro-Americans in his department, year in and year out. Therefore, The Gazette commends him for re-election. Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1932. --- State Senator Laurence H. Norton, who is the Republican candidate for county treasurer, is a member of one of Cleveland's oldest and best families. He is capable, conscientious, honest, energetic and, like his father, a life-long friend of the race. Our people should vote united for his election on Nov. 8, 1932. Judges Thos. A. Jones and Edw. S. Matthias were on the bench, years ago, when the editor of The Gazette won his contest in the state supreme court with Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith. They are two of the most distinguished jurists Ohio has ever had and are Republicans. Do not fall to vote for them, Tuesday, because they are not only thorny capable but fair and just to all. --- Ex-Mayor and Councilman John D. Marshall of the East End is being supported by the local Republican organization and the local Republican daily press for the unexpired term of Judge Willis Vickery (deceased) as judge of the court of appeals. Citizens will have to write John D. Marshall's name in the proper place on the judicial ballot in order to vote for him. Remember this! --- Every Afro-American in the 220 district should vote for Chester C. Bolton, the Republican candidate for re-election to the U. S. Congress. He has been exceptionally careful and successful in looking after the interests of his constituents of all groups or classes. He is conscientious, honest, energetic and exceptionally capable. We can rely on and trust Congressman Bolton, one of the very best members of the U. S. House of Representatives. --- So Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for President, has been flirting with the Ku Klux Klan of the South. Just let a man stand as a candidate for office and about everything he did in the course of his natural life will be aired, it seems. However, in the case of Roosevelt, it was undoubtedly very easy for him to mistreat the Haliants and collaborate with his Georgia neighbors, leaders and members of the Ku Klux Klan. --- That Texas "cracker," John N. Garner, speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives and Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate, in a recent interview sent broadcast through the country or the Associated "Negro" Press, "advised Negroes to get rid of 'the social equality' idea." Of course, we pay no attention to such fool talk. If Little Jack Garner would advise southern white men (?) to get rid of their "social equality idea", it might save hundreds of women-victims in that section of the country, at least. ---iiiii--- Gov. George White (Dem.) is certainly open to severe criticism for his refusal to assist in the prosecution of those Irton lynchers. He could have compiled with the request of the state N. A. A. C. P. to send the attorney-general. That was as little as he could have done. Our voters thrust the state should not forget this on election day in November. It, too, shows why Ohio should have a Republican governor. We cannot imagine a request of that kind being made to Gov. David S. Ingalls and his refusing to comply with the same. --- When John N. Garner, Democratic candidate for Vice-President, became speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives in 1831, all of the thirty-one Afro-American employees of the H. of R. were "let out" and their places given to southern "crackers." This same thing was practically done when Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for President, became governor of New York State, four years ago. This, better than anything else, shows their attitude toward our people as well as that of the Democratic party which is controlled by southern Democracy. Actions speak louder than words. It is well to remember this, especially at this time. --- On August 7, 1916, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the Navy, issued an order prohibiting Afro-American government employees in the state, war and navy departments from using the wash and toilet rooms therein. When Herbert Hoover, now President of the United States, became secretary of commerce, he issued an order which wiped out the Franklin D. Roosevelt color-line order, referred to above, as far as his department was concerned. When one also recalls Roosevelt's part in the rape of Haiti, it ought to make it impossible for any sane and loyal member of the race to even think of casting a vote for him or "Little Jack" Garner, the Texas "cracker." A CROSS UNDER THE EAGLE One of the things we cannot understand is how any loyal members of the race, especially those who came North in 1917 and since, can support the candidacies of Roosevelt and Garner. They know or ought to know better than anyone else how very harmful to all of our people of this country the election of the Democratic candidates would prove. Roosevelt who has a home in Georgia and Garner who lives in Texas were made candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, respectively, by southern Democracy. It was the votes of southern delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that nominated them. All of our people know too well what the domination of the entire South by southern Democrats has meant and still means to them. Southern Democracy is responsible for lynching, distranchisement, "jim-crow" cars, segregation of all kinds as well as the withholding of scores in our citizen rights and privileges in about all the public places in the southland. The baneful influence of all this has brought about the restriction of many of our rights and privileges throughout the North, has encouraged lynching in this section of the country as well as segregation in many public institutions and places. Knowing all this and more, as all Afro-Americans do, it is difficult for us to understand how they can permit themselves to be invigiled into the support of Roosevelt and Garner, leaders of southern Democracy. Occasionally you meet a member of the race who has suffered from unemployment and feels that a change in administration from a Republican to Democrat would benefit him. Frequently we hear the expressions that "things could not be worse" which of course is not true. Things can be infinitely worse and will be for the next two years at least if the business of the country has to face a Democratic administration dominated by southern Democracy after the fourth of March, 1933. Charging the economic depression to the Hoover administration is silly when one recalls the fact that the unemployment situation was and still is world-wide. Of all the many groups of Americans, there is none that has so much to lose as ours in event of Democratic victory on November 8, 1932. We all know this, even if some few misguided members of the race affect not to believe it. There is only one thing for every sane, sensible and loyal member of the race to do and that is. THE GABBITE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1932 regardless of all fault-finding and all else, to aggressively support the Republican ticket from top to bottom during the remainder of this campaign, and on election day to put their cross under the eagle, thus doing all in their power to keep southern Democracy from dominating the country at large, as it does the southland, which it has made a perfect hell in many sections for members of our race. WORK AND VOTE FOR COOK County Clerk Thos. C. Cook has three of our people as deputies in his office. They are John H. Perry, Charles J. Gray and Holly Cooley. Therefore, we owe him special assistance in his effort to be elected on November 8, 1932. As many will recall, Mr. Cook was originally appointed to fill out the unexpired term of County Clerk George Wallace (deceased). The appointment came to him as a recognition of merit, having served many years and exceptionally well as a deputy in the office. He won the appointment in a proper way. Such service as he has given the county throughout all the years he has been in that office entitles him to the election he is seeking. For that reason and the additional one that he has given our people generous recognition in his staff of assistants we should be exceptionally active in the support of his candidacy, with clerks Perry, Gray and Cooley leading. There should be no division among our people in their aggressive support of Thos. C. Cook's candidacy. Let all help all they can. SILBERT'S CAREER Exceptionally Interesting — From Newsboy to Judge—One of the Best on the Bench—A Real Friend. Judge Samuel H. Silbert was reared in Newark, N. J. When he was six, his father died, leaving a widow and four children. Thus early in life he was forced to paddle newspapers on the streets to help support the family. Forced upon his resources, he early in life acquired a keen insight into human nature which has helped him greatly in his career. He times a grocer's clerk, an ink maker, and a silversmith. Although forced to work all day, young Silbert attended night high school and night law school. He was the valedictorian of his high school class. In 1907 he graduated from law school with honors. Since he has never quit studying but has taken special courses in law and business, a student reader, not only of law, but of current literature as well. He also finds time to lecture at Clevé- PETER H. land Law School. Attorney Silbert was appointed police prosecutor in 1911 and served four years. In 1915 he was elected to the municipal bench where he served nine years. In 1924 he was elevated to the common pleas bench where for the past eight years he has continued to vitally and well. He is now a candidate for reelection to succeed himself for a six year term. Judge Silbert recently filed with the board of elections the largest nominating petition ever filed in his state. He is the only judge in Ohio ever to lead the judicial ticket on four separate occasions. There are reasons for this. He possesses an understanding here, an innate understanding of the court's executor's office he helped establish the conciliation system in petty criminal cases, by means of which thousands of cases were adjusted out of court, which otherwise would have clogged up the docket. As a judge of the municipal court he helped inaugure a lecture course for police and also established the famous "water cure" for drunks. Since water can be used to treat many interesting experiences. In the criminal court a poor friendless Negro was found guilty of auto stealing by the jury. He was inadequately defended by his counsel. Judge Silbert sensed there was something wrong about the case, made a personal investigation and interviewed everyone having anything to prove. He granted a new trial, and on the new evidence another jury found the defendant not guilty. The man had no friends, no one was complaining. Silbert did not need to go to all the trouble he did and yet he could not rest until he was assured that justice had been rendered. The judge is married and lives at 1454 Anse Road. His hobbies are the violin and piano, and when his time is not taken as a lecturer at the law school or in meeting people and giving an account of his stewardship, he may be found absorbed in his books. ROOSEVELT'S CONNECTION WITH ONE OF THE BLOODIEST CHAPTERS IN AMERICAN HISTORY. by U. S. Marines. (By Grace Hutchins, Labor Research Association, 35 E. 12th St., New York City.) "The facts are that I wrote Haiti's constitution myself, and if I do say it, I think it a pretty good constituent (New York Times, Aug. 19, 1920). By the terms of this constitution, written in 1917 by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for President, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, the Haitian people were made subject to the United States; maritime law under the marine rule was made subject to the Haitian Court; foreigners, meaning Wall Street, were given the right to own land. contrary to the provisions of Haiti's own constitution. All laws must be submitted to the United States before passage When the Haitian legislature refused to accept this infamous constitution, the assembly was forcibly dissolved by Gen. Smedley D. Butler of the marines, acting upon a cabal led by the Sailor Department. Throughout this entire war period, Secretary of the Navy Daniels depended largely upon Franklin Roosevelt. The Assistant Secretary was better qualified for the job and was often in charge of the department. 3000 Haitian Slain The story of Wall Street's occupation of Haiti is one of the bloody chapters in American history. This Negro republic was seized by the Thousands of deserving men are now walking the streets jobless and hungry. Penalties mothers are giving up in despair! Children are going to school poor ly-clad and undernourished! Entire families now depending upon charity, are hopelessly discouraged. 90,000 people without funds to maintain decent homes, are now existing upon charitable relief! I pledge, as a sacred duty, to put forth all conceivable effort toward GOING AHEAD with well-planned public improvements to provide as much employment as humanly possible! MY PLEDGE IS A CONSTRUCTIVE ONE. I definitely believe that any attempt to delay such procedure can only increase dependence, destruction and despair. Charity is not a cure for unemployment! VOTE FOR J. H. HARRIS, President Board of County Commissioners.—Adv. Makes Charges Against an Editor. Kansas City, Kan.—Joseph B. LaCour, well known through the state and a stockholder in the Kansas City Californiacompany, publishers of a local race newspaper, has filed suit in the federal court, asking that a receiver be placed in charge of the publishing firm and making numerous charges against its president, Editor C. A. Franklin. United States for two reasons: first, in order to extend its naval bases in the West Indies; and second, in order to gain control over the rich resources of the country. The National City Bank secured ownership of the Haitian national bank and of the Haitian national railroad, and these investments of Wall Street have been protected by the U. S. Navy. The first forcible step was in December, 1914, when Roosevelt had been in the Navy Department for nearly two years. By arrangement between the U. S. State Department, American marines seized $500,000 of Haitian government money, and transported it to New York, where it was held for five years. On July 28, 1915, following a local revolutionary upheaval, Admiral Caperton landed with U. S. naval forces and marines. He captured the chief cities, and began destroying the revolutionary bands in order, as he said, to allow the United States "to negotiate a treaty for the financial control of Haiti." Admiral Caperton reported daily to the Navy Department at Washington and received his instructions to enforce marine rule at the point of machine guns. Forced work on the highways, called the corvee, had been abandoned in the Negro republic, but was revived by the marines. "Uwilling workers were impressed. They were sometimes managed like slaves, to work for weeks with little or no pay and inadequate food, and shoot down if they attempted to escape."—(G. G. Balch, Occupied Haiti.) Reported put the number of Haitians killed by marines and marine-officered gendarmerie at 3,250 in the first five years...Those killed included women and children. Discriminated Against Our Enlisted Men With the approval of Roosevelt as Acting Secretary of the Navy, "jim-crowism" against our workers was practiced in the U. S. Navy as in the Army. Gunners' mates were not trained in the Army and the Navy were forced to do the dirtiest, hardest jobs. They were separated from the white men and herded into special groups, similar to the labor battalions in the Army.

As Vice-President He Could Succeed to the Presidency —Then Southern Democracy, Our Bitterest Enemy, Would Surely Be "In the Saddle." (Special to The Gazette) One of the things that stand out as a reproach to the intelligence of the Negroes of America is their inability to fight as a unit for the things that are vital to their best interests in this country. Anything vital to the manhood rights of the group, to the rights of the people for, the Negro seems not to have sensed the importance. We have deep prejudices against Negro leadership if it brings to the leader recognition and prominence from other groups. We stress race matters when we can profit financially from them. If we have an axe to grind, we appeal to race consciousness and prejudices in order to swing the race to us for the person whose observations are true, then it is time that we pursue another course and do as others are doing who have attained the 205 highest standing and benefits from their American citizenship. The coming Presidential election is fraught with great danger to the continuance of our enjoying the American rights which we gained through war and bloodshed. John Garner, now Speaker of the House of Representatives and also aspirant for the Vice-President of this country is prominently citizen Texas. Whatever prominence Texas has attained politically, Mr. Garner shared particularly in it. If Mr. Garner, as a citizen of Texas, had opposed any political policy of Texas, it would have had great weight. Whatever political notoriety Texas has, Mr. Garner shares the responsibility for it. Texas possesses the right of colored people to vote. It is still seeking to be included in the Texas primary elections and by their subterfuges and political manipulations, Texas has rendered the Republican VOTER X JESSE Candidate COURT OF Short No Names App Voters Must Write the Name FOR Several Suites of And a Five-Room All Modern.

Supreme Court, touching the franchise rights of Negroes. Texas has made the lives, careers, properties of Negroes of New York in doing so, it deliberately nullified a section of the Constitution of the U. S. A. Should Mr. Garner be elected Vice-President and there occurs what has often occurred, he may be President of this country. It is just to say that Mr. Garner will not regard the oath of office as President any more serious than he does the oath of any other office. If as an influential citizen and office-holder of Texas and the South, S. C. Hill is the violation of the federal constitution, he is likely to do the same if he becomes President. Since Mr. Garner, as speaker of the House of Representatives, has not lifted his voice against the violation of the constitution by his state in its depriving colored citizens of their rights, especially when he profited by it, it is fair to state that he will be no better in the President's chair than he is now. Should Mr. Garner be elected, however, he will be deprived of his in charge of the government. If he helped to deprive Negro Texans of their rights, he will aid in depriving Negroes of America of their rights, should the opportunity come to him. It is the duty of every sane and well poised Negro voter to join with every other thoughtful citizen and see to it that Roosevelt and Garner are defeated. For Negroes to aid, directly or indirectly, in putting Mr. Garner near the head of this nation they manifest a weakness that challenges their fitness to be American citizens. There was a bitter campaign waged by the N. A. A. C. P. against every U. S. Senator that voted to place Judge Parker on the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court for fear it might begin a movement to put in strategic positions unfriendly men who could menace the rights of the people, without dismaying the right or wrong of this particular case, it is certain that there should be a still more bitter fight against Mr. Garner's possibly becoming President. It is our duty now to defeat the Roosevelt and Garner ticket, if our children and their children are to enjoy the same rights other races and their children enjoy. Other groups now enjoying unmolested the privileges of American citizenship everywhere, may divide their vote in this election but those of us who are proscribed and denied the rights guaranteed us in sectional states, cannot afford to divide. The devil, the enemy, is as does all those groups, is not as dangerous to our well being as John Nance Garner of Texas. (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD.

Like his grandfather, Congressman Bolton has interested himself in all Uberal movements. Mr. Bolton comes from an old Cleveland family that had a great deal to do with the de- velopment of Cleveland and Cuya- hoga County. His grandfather on his mother's side, Mayor Castle, was the first mayor of Cleveland. His grandfather on his father's side, Judge Thomas Bolton, was the sec- ‘ond judge to be elected in Cuyahoga County. The Bolton family has known the problems, confronting our people, ever since the time of Thomas Bolton’s defense of slaves in 1841. ‘Thomas Bolton arrived in Cleveland in 1834 when it was a village of 2500. He was appointed a member of the committee that drafted the first Cleveland charter. He was elect- ed a councilman in 1831 and prose- cuting attorney in 1839. While act- ing as prosecuting attorney of Cuya- hoga County, he stopped the kid- napping of slaves and sending them Dack South. Until 1841, slave-own- ers sent agents to Cleveland who se- cured the arrest of runaway slaves and had them taken before a magis- trate where they would obtain a war- rant to return the victim South. While Thomas Bolton was prosecut- ing attorney, three “Negroes” who were claimed as slaves had fled from New Orleans and were in Buffalo. ‘Agents of the “master” applied to a law firm in Cleveland to represent them at the Buffalo trial. In court at Buffalo, the slaves asked for a trial by jury which was granted. To avoid jury trial, some members of which might sympathize with the runaways, it was thought advisable to get the “Negroes” back into Ohio. On reaching Cleveland they were ar- rested under a law of Congress as fugitives from service and lodged in the county jail. Information reached the few abolitionists, among them Edward Wade and John Foote. They applied to the jail for permission to see the prisoners but were re- fused. A writ of habeas corpus was obtained and the case continued for 90, days. Great indignation was aroused when it became known that ‘Thomas Bolton, the county prosecu- tor, would defend them without monetary consideration. He received threats that his office would be burned if he insisted on defending the Negroes. Bolton procured the discharge of the Negro defendants, As a result of the iniquitous proceed- ing and the manner in which it was presented, the community was led to Feflect upon the evils of the system ‘and the injustice of the law. From that day, until the slave girl, Lucy, was sent back to Virginia in 1862 (to appease, it was said, the wrath of the rebels), not a slave from Cleveland was sent back. NORTON FOR TREASURER. Decidedly the Better Candidate for the Office Is This Native Cleve- lander and Republican. Saying that the election of Laur- ‘ence H. Norton to the office of Coun- ty Treasurer is of too great import- ‘ance to be decided on a purely party basis, a group of more than 80 lead- ing citizens, representing not only ‘oth political parties but men and ‘women of all nationalities, is sponsor- ing his candidacy and urging his election, Nov. 8. The committee points out Mr. Norton’s qualifications for the office, his unquestioned integ- rity and honesty, his long period of public service and his knowledge of finances. A Cleveland-born man, Mr. Norton has devoted all of his efforts since leaving college to public serv- fee. While he spent some time as teller in the Citizens’ Savings and Trust bank and has been connected with banks for years, he also has found great personal satisfaction in taking a leading part in pubiic and semi-public institutions devoted to education, service men, the charities and other constructive enterprises. His record in the Ohio General As- sembly, where he has served both as representative and senator, has brought him into prominence as a man thoroly schooled in public af- fairs. The first action taken by the group was a letter to the voters of the county: “The public demands a new deal in the treasurer's office,” the message says. ‘The next treasurer must be free from boss rule. Now, of all times, this community needs a man as county treasurer in whom it can have confidence and faith.” “1 determined to become a candi- date only on the basis that I should have a free hand in the administra- tion of the office,” Mr. Norton said. The officers of the committee are Daniel E. Morgan, chairman; Clar- ence J. Neal and Mrs. Nellie Brown, viee-chairmen; and Herman L. Vail, secretary. James Colonel is execu- tive secretary. HON. JOSEPH H. SILBERT. Candidate for Re-clection as State Representative, Is an Active Friend ‘of the Race—Be Sure to ‘Vote for Him. Hon. Joseph H. Silbert is again a candidate for election as state repre- sentative on the .Republican ticket. He is a member of the present House of Representatives, finishing his first term, and has made an enviable rec- ord. Mr. Silbert is an attorney, 31 years of age, married and has one daughter. He 1s a graduate of Bald- win-Wallace college and Cleveland Law school, and has been practicing law for ten years. He is the author of the bill to repeal criminal syndical- ism; he led the fight in the enact- ment of the so-called “Yellow Dog” bill which outlaws contracts whereby & person agrees not to join a labor union; in the legalization of Sunday movie bills, and the fight for submit- ting to the people a referendum of the wet and dry laws of Ohio. Mr. Bilbert is the author of the bill to reimburse Jos,.Weaver. He also en- joys helping our boys and girls to at- tend Wilberforce University. He has pledged the voters that if re-clected he will work for the enactment of unemployment insurance bills, old age pension, and the repeal of the Ejlehteenth Amendment, which are the prohibition laws. He is also op- posed to any increase in taxes, be- leves in more economy in govern- ment and the repeal of many obso- lete laws. He is able, conscientious and hard-working, and should be all means be re-elected. Atty. Silbert has been endorsed by the Cleveland News, Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Citizens League, the Cleveland Feder- ation of Labor and The Gazette— Adv. RE-ELECT Carrington T. Marshall as Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of ‘Ohio—Broadminded, Able, and Our Friend. Judge Carrington T. Marshall is seeking re-election to a third term as chief justice of the Ohio supreme court. For twenty-eight years he practiced law in Zanesville, appear- ing before numerous commissions and in all the state and federal courts open to an attorney in Ohio. In 1920 he was elected chief justice by an overwhelming majority. In 1926 he was re-elected by a majority ge yy of 262,000. In the primary election this year, for a third term, he re- ceived 406,386 votes, the’ largest number ever accorded any candidate for a judicial office in any prelimin- ary election. All of which shows that the people of Ohio have full confidence in his ability and are thoroly satisfied with his leadership of the second highest office in the state, In the case of the Board of Educa- tion vs, Reese, the Ohio Supreme Court, under Judge Marshall's lead- ership, affirmed a judgment of the Court of Appeals, which compelled the Board of Education of Dayton to accord otr children school-privileges equal to that of all other children in that community, and thwarted the attempt of the board to establish separate schools for our children. In the case of Cornwell ys. State, the supreme court under his leadership prevented the execution of an Afro- American improperly convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation of mercy and order- ed a retrial of the case because an orderly trial had been denied the prisoner in court, Judge Marshall also joined with the other members of the court in denying the right to exhibit the infamous photo play, “Birth (rape) of a Nation” in the theaters of Ohio, about six years ago. Chief Justice’ Marshall has been endorsed by the Cuyahoga Bar Asso- ciation and by other bar associations thruout the state. His election, Tuesday, is confidently looked for- ward to and will be a service to Ohio. Ss ‘REPRESENTATION ‘The Theme of the Principal Speaker ‘at Sunday Afternoon’s Republi- can Mass Meeting—An Echo ‘of the Union Church Services Youngstown, O.—The Republican mass meeting at Centenary M. B. church, Sunday afternoon, was well attended. Hon. Wm. R. Stewart made tho principal address, devoting the most of his time to historical ref- erences from the Lincoln administra. tion through that of Rutherford B. ‘Hayes to date and evolved therefrom the truism that our voters, should support those who favor proper rep- resentation for the race regardless of their political affiliations. He re- peatedly stressed this fact—Funoral Services for tho late Norman Brad- shaw, who died in South Side hos- pital, last week, Friday, were held Monday afternoon at’ Emerson's funeral home.—Rev. Geo. W. Wil- liams, Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Sanders and H. G. Emerson attended the A. ‘M. E. annual conference in Canton, last week. Rey. Sanders, in an ad- dress, praised highly Rev. Williams for the able manner in which he con- ducted the union services of Jeru- salem and Third Baptist and Oakhill ‘Ave. A. M. E. churches. The services have greaily encouraged the fellow- ship spirit of the three churches. ATTY. DAVID COPLAND Republican Candidate for “nate Son ‘ator—A Friend of the Race. Among the many candidates on the Republican ticket, none stand out more boldly. than David Copland, a candidate for state senator. A man of fine legal training with an unim- peachable record for honesty and in- tegrity, one who has taken an active part in the civic and political lite of our county, he should be a tower of strength to the Cuyahoga delegation in solving its legislative problems. More than any other year in the his- tory of Cuyahoga County, voters will be discriminating in their selection of state senators, six of whom are to be elected. With the multiplicity of problems that confront our economic, social and political life, it becomes fnereasingly important that legisla- tive officials be men with broad and keen vision, who can intelligently grasp and solve problems and whose counsels will find a responsive chord among other members of the state senate. Such qualifications are possessed by David Copland in an ex- ceptional degree. We unhesitatingly recommend his candidacy to every citizen of our community. ‘RR QABETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1933. JUDGE GEO. B. HARRIS interest in the Judicial ballot.

Executive Office, 285 Madison Ave., New Yor GENERAL VENDIN® CORPORATION (Controlled by Consolidated omatic Merchandisin~ Corporaus..) and Business—Incorporated in 1927 Above is a photograph of part of page 2795 of Poor's Manual on Industrials for the year 1928, showing F. D. Roosevelt, now Governor ‘of New York, listed as one of the directors of tie Consolidated Automatic Merchandising Corporation. BE nae Caren ten9 (Agee) Ste eee Daniel _O. Hastings of Dela- ware, on Friday night, October 21, at Cambridge, Maryland, stated ‘that Governor Franklin D. Roose- velt was, in 1928, a director of @ holding ‘company known, a2, the Consolidated Automatic Merchan- dising Corporation, a slot machine trust. He called attention to the promises of the promoters of profits representing more than 18 million dollars in the fifth year, He showed that the compeny had losses of more than one-half mil- ion dollars the first year, more ‘than $800,000 the second year and a larger loss in the third year, and that the stock which sold to the piig for $55 was now selling for than fifty cents Mr, Heary Morgenthas, politi- eal friend of Governor Roosevelt, made a statoment that what Sena- tor Hastings said was “untrue and misleading,” and then positively denied that Governor Roosevelt ever was a director of this cor- poration. He called attention to the fact that Moody's Manual which the Senator quoted as his Tuthority, doce not show Franklin D. Roosevelt as a director. Senator Hastings admitted bis error and said: “I made a mistake in quoting Moody's Manual, but if Mr. Morgenthau will look at Poor’s Manual for the year 1928, FASS, 2705, he will discover Frank: jin D. Roosevelt named as a di- rector of the Consolidated Auto- matic Merchandising Corporation, and discover that my ‘false and misleading’ statement was merely an error in the name of the pub- lication.” ‘Senator Hastings added tm his statement that the prospectus from the slot machine trust sent to all investors was by F. J. Lis- man & Company, member of the New York Stock Exchange, and ‘showed Governor Roosevelt as ‘one of the directors, He stated also that on Monday, August 6, 1928, the New York Times car- ried’a full page advertisement of- fering this stock to the public un- der the name of the corporation and that this advertisement showed, as does the prospectus, Governor Roosevelt as one of the Grectors. Records in the Boston Stock Eachangs and the New, Yor Curb ‘showed Mr. Roosevelt as a director of this cemaiadion.
