Johnson --- THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since FACTS ABOUT JUDGE LILLIAN M. WESTROPP. An Exceptionally Interesting Career —Native of Cleveland—Candidate for Municipal Judge. Judge Lillian M. Westropp was born, reared and spent all of her life in Cleveland. She was graduated from West High school, the Hare School of Expression, and the Cleveland Law school in 1915 with the highest standings in her class for the three years' work. She passed the bar examination in June, 1915, and has been practicing law in Cleveland ever since. She was assistant county prosecutor under Ray T. Miller from Jan. 1, '29 to Sept. 15, '30, and was appointed to the municipal court bench by Gov. 644 CURTIS Geo, White, Nov. 6, '31, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Martin L. Sweeney. She is now running for election to the unexpired two-year term. While in the prosecutor's office, Judge Westropp was in charge of the tax division and the collection of bail-bonds. She found that the majority of the bail-bonds were uncollectable when forfeited, because they were without any evidence of title or the condition of the real estate as to mortgage and taxes. She worked out a plan whereby this information could be given the clerk's office within three hours and recommended to the common pleas judges that a rule of court be made whereby no bail-bonds of over $500 would be accepted by the court without a report from the abstract company on the real estate. Such a rule was unanimously adopted. Since that time all bail-bonds have been 100% collectable, making a savings of thousands of dollars to Cuyahoga County. Judge Westropp served as traffic judge, five months, and drafted an ordinance, passed by the City Council, enabling speed-violators to waive appearance in court and pay traffic fines. After that, she is a member of the Cleveland Bar Association, and the first woman to be elected to an executive office of the Association; a member of the Cuyahoga Bar Association, state bar association, the Cleveland League of Women Voters, and the Women's City club. She was also the first woman to be indorsed by the bar poll—Adv. OPPOSED THE K. K. K. And Helped Wilberforce University as well as Many of Its Students —Ackerman 'for Judge:' Senator Joseph N. Ackerman, one of the senators for a candidate for judge, six-year term. Elected to the upper house of the General Assembly, he announced that he would fight every effort of the Ku Klux Klan, and did so! During the last few years, Senator Ackerman has been a member of the Senate Finance committee and took great interest in Wilberforce University when efforts were made, two years ago and again this year, to help those who were amused those who blocked the move. During his legislative career he helped to send fifty-six students to that university, securing part-time jobs for some of them, and also contributed from his own pocket. Senator Ackerman has always been an outstanding humanitarian, and his long fight to correct the welfare, penal and criminal conditions in Ohio is well known. He is more than any of his many qualifications commends him for the position he is now seeking. Under date Oct. 30, 1933, Representative Chester K. Gillespie writes as follows: "I desire to take this opportunity to thank most sincerely Senator Jos. N. Ackerman. He assisted me tremendously in securing the enactment of my bill adding $60,000 to the general appropriation for Wilberforce University; in securing the enactment of the Joseph bill which authorized the county commission to sum not in excess of $15,000; and also for assistance in the Doris Weaver case. Everything I had, of prime interest, to our people had Senator Ackerman's fullest co-operation, leading that rendered me by any other legislator. Result—I am going to vote for him, Tuesday, for judge of the municipal court of Cleveland. The county home rule amendment, to be voted on, Tuesday, will accomplish nothing by itself. It will not abolish a single office or set up a new plan of government. It will achieve no economics, or reduce the number of taxing districts. VOTE FOR KRAUSE! He Will Make a Splendid Judge of the Municipal Court, Two-Year Term—His Friendship for the Race and Splendid and Dependable. Establishment of a lecture forum in which police, protectors of property, such as watchmen and janitors, and the public might learn the law governing the use of firearms was advocated, recently, in a speech at Miles Standish school by Atty. Arthur Krause, candidate for the two-year term as municipal judge. Point-of-view taken in Cleveland and vicinity, recently, by police in defense of insignificant pieces of property Krause said. "Many of the killings under these circumstances in the past few years have been unlawful. But in most cases the killers have been exonerated. It would have been better, indeed, had these sacrificed lives been saved and the minor property lost." In order that the distinction between legal shootings and illegal killing be made clear, Mr. Krause says he would have been better after court closes to conduct lectures in which this fact will be the main objective. He urges other judges and lawyers to do likewise. ANOTHER BLACK SHEEP. Along with Claybourne George, who is running for the 6-year term as Judge, there is another candidate, now sitting on the Bench, who is having a great deal of difficulty with the nordic groups. This time it is not color which is involved, but purely a name, that is, LEON A. KUJAWSKI. We investigated. And we found that Judge Leon A. Kujawski, who is not running in opposition to Claybourne George, is a well qualified and desirable Judge. He is a man 307 IRED past fifty, and has had twenty years of experience at the bar. Born and reared among our people, he understands better than any other candidate, for the 4-year term, the hardships and privations of our class and our people. At the age of nineteen we find him teaching in St. Mary's at Lorain, O'Connor in 1939 and in the workers and successfully representing four or five labor unions against the steel corporations. A further point in his favor is that he did not seek the appointment to the bench but was urged by a group of lawyers to accept the appointment and fill in a gap left for a capable, cosmopolitan judge. He is on the bench now and invites our citizens to come to room 10 in the Municipal Court and see how justice is dispensed and the poor man is given a chance. So we all not to pass by the name because of the "ski" at the end of it. Don't take a "chanceski," but Vote for Kuiwski. CODE VIOLATORS! Write the Editor Immediately if You Know of Any Who Are Discriminating Unfairly Against Our Workers. Any person who has information dealing with the displacement of our workers (male or female) in industries under the NRA codes and any violation of code agreements specifically directed against our workers will help our general cause and oblige the editor greatly by sending such information to him immediately. The information desired should include (1) the name and address of the establishment in question, (2) the number of our people displaced, (3) occupations of our displaced workers (male and female), (4) the kind of industry (steel, coal, laundry, etc.), (5) wages paid in cases both of displacements and violation of codes, (6) the date of violation of the code agreement—or the date of displacement. DON'T BE A "SAP." Candidates who pay money for votes to *any* person in Wards 11, 17 and 18 will soon learn that they are "easy," and, after Tuesday, will fully realize this fact. Several of them told the writer, last and this week, that they had been approached for "unds for in those wards." Snaes were "political saps" enough to be "bled" by the grafters. Lord, have mercy! "One, born every second" nowadays, it seems. Editor. 1941 HON. HARRY L. DAVIS Cleveland's Next Mayor Given a Wonderful Reception, Sunday Afternoon, at Zion Hill Baptist Church. The Republican candidate for mayor, the Hon. Harry L. Davis, needs no introduction to our voters of this city. The Democratic candidate for the same position, Mayor Ray T. Miller, promptly upon taking office, eighteen months ago, dismissed every member of the race who held a decent position in the employ of the city and "fired" over half of those who held minor positions in the city's employ, replacing them with white Democrats, some of whom did not even live in the city of Cleveland. This is no secret. Everybody knows it who is at all interested. His pre-election promises of positions and jobs to hundreds of members of his party, and so-called "Negro Democrats," he has not kept. This is a notorious fact. All the positions under him have been filled for many months and none of the incumbents will be dismissed to make room for other Democrats in case of his re-election, Tuesday. Even if any of them were let out, their places would not go to so-called "Negro Democrats." Local "Negro Democrats," by Mayor Ray T. Miller in a West-Side Speech. A reputable citizen attending a political meeting held at Banater Hall, located at West 120th and Lorain Ave., Oct. 23, '33, made an affidavit to the effect that Mayor Ray T. Miller made the following statement at this meeting: "Mr. De Priest, a Congressman from Chicago, was here the other day speaking in behalf of Harry L. Davis, Republican candidate for mayor, at the Zion church, for the HARRY L. DAVIS' STRONG PLATFORM. Administration of relief for the poor and work for the unemployed overshadows all problems confronting the next mayor. Politics has disgracefully distorted this humanitarian function during the past two years. It must and will be eliminated. Underworld forces have menaced the community because politics and internal strife have tended to undermine the morale of the police department. During the past two years the attack has been made to make the police department of five departments an adjunct of a political machine. We shall rip out the political wires which connect the police department with machine politics. The women's police bureau has come to serve a special function in the community, which shall re-establish it, and provide it with proper quarters and put it in charge of one particularly qualified for this position and responsible solely to the chief of police. The municipal light plant was established to serve as a barometer for equitable light rates in the City of Cleveland. This test cannot be a fair one so long as the plant suffers a lack of efficiency, extravagance, and—whether of all the devastating sabotage or neglect. It is my purpose to rehabilitate municipal light plant so that it may serve the purpose for which it was EDITORIAL. REPUDIATED! Harry L. Davis has promised to "clean house" at the City Hall. In event of his election, the opportunity for preferment in the matter of positions and jobs will be one hundred per cent. He has promised, in event of victory, Tuesday, something we are all confidently looking forward to, that our people will be treated properly—fairly and right—in the matter of appointments. Outside of this, Cleveland needs greatly at this particular time Ex-Mayor Harry L. Davis' three-term experience as mayor of Cleveland for other and far more important reasons than the matter of positions and jobs. Considering the fact that our voters constitute at least one-third of the total Republican vote of this city, it is more largely up to us to see that he is triumphantly elected on Tuesday than any other group of Republican voters in the city of Cleveland because of the fact that proportionately we furnish the party more votes than any other race-factor of it. Do not fail to vote for Harry L. Davis for Mayor, Tuesday. purpose of obtaining the Negro votes for the Republican party." At this point he paused, looked searchingly over the hall and then continued: "Well, we never heard of any Negro Democrats; we don't want any Negro Democrats! I don't need the Negro votes to be elected." Mayor Miller then continued on with his speech. "It was Mayor Miller who called the NRA meeting at Public Auditorium, Aug. 29, 33, for the mayor's business recovery committee. Thom Rape (Rape) of a Nation" "The Leopard Spots" and "The Clansman," was the principal speaker. "Nuff said!" originally conceived. Such a policy enabled me, in my administration to establish cost of manufacture and save the public millions of dollars by compelling the illuminating Co. to cut its rate to Clevelanders from ten cents to five cents. While Cleveland's population has increased only 13.5 per cent since our former mayoral administrations the cost of operating the city has risen 100 per cent. High taxes have crippled business and harassed small homeowners. Waste and extravagance in city expenditures must stop. The spending era is over. Economy is the order of the day. We will slash the cost of city government. The street car is a vital concern of every citizen. Present street car fare is high. Negligence, inefficiency and incompetence have scrapped the Tayler grant since I left the mayor's office. To revive the spirit and intent of the Tayler grant, I shall appoint a street railway commissioner, qualified, equipped and loyal solely to the car ride estimates. When I was mayor, Cleveland had a five cent fare. We will bend our knees towards a restoration of this fare. The greatest weapon against high telephone, gas and other utility rates is the force of public opinion. It is within the power of the mayor so to galvanize public opinion as SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Harry C. Smith, Editor. 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 compari-sion with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWEST newspapers in the country, in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. to compel prompt determination of utility rates by the public utilities commission. Present state laws thwart the public's interest in rate cases. It shall be my concern to prosecute reform of these laws in order to make impossible dilatory practices which now obtain. All of the city's recreational facilities will be placed at the disposal of the people and utilized to the utmost. It is intended that these restrictions be only during the summer season, but throughout the entire year. Cleveland has an underground exhibition hall, which while not in use for exhibitions can be used for other purposes. I propose to convert it into a great community center and people's club where all of Cleveland's citizens and particularly the younger folk may have a central gathering place for clean, healthful sports, exercise and entertainment. Gordon Park for some years has been with the city, and I propose to construct a suitable building to take care of the public at this beach. With the rapid progress of the St. Lawrence Lake to Ocean shipping project, it is important that Cleveland prepare its port and river facilities speedily to reap its full share of benefits from this improvement. Every resource possible must be thrown into proper and prompt lake front developments. The mayor of a city the size of Cleveland must take the initiative in promoting social legislation in Ohio. The United States and Cleveland have passed thru years of economic nightmare. We hope never again experience anything like it. Permanent experience in economic disturbances must be found. As mayor, I shall use the influence of my position for social betterment of all classes by urging passage in the legislature of unemployment insurance and old age pension laws. Cleveland has always enjoyed the reputation of being among the foremost cities in the country in matters of civic enterprise and co-operation with programs of national import. During the last war, while I was mayor, this city mobilized all of its forces in support of the national need. This spirit of full cooperation with the national government in the direction of national recovery must and will continue. RE-ELECT ERNEST J. BOHN Atty. Ernest J. Bohn is a candidate for the City Council in the 20th Ward. He was educated in Cleveland primary and high schools; graduated from Western Reserve University Law School; was an assistant W. R. U. department of Political Science teacher, 1923-25; is a practicing lawyer and former member of the executive committee PEU of the Cleveland Bar Association; served as a member of the Ohio Legislature, 1929-30; chairman National Conference on slum clearance, 1933, and is serving his second term in the City Council.

Mr. Bohn has been endorsed by the Cleveland News, Plain Dealer, Press and also the Citizens' League. He has served his ward well and is asking it to re-elect him. *Vote for Ernest J. Bohn*: Adv. VOTE FOR DRUCKER. Atty. Lewis Drucker, a candidate for judge of the municipal court, six-year term, is well qualified for the position because of his training.

SATURDAY, NOV. 4TH, 1933. It is certainly to be greatly regretted that Mr. David H. Pierce, president of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, absolutely refuses to be a candidate for re-election to the position. This will net all of our people of this community a loss that will be felt for a long time. --- Do not fail to vote for Ex-Mayor Harry L. Davis for mayor, Tuesday, and see that all of your friends and acquaintances, as far as you are able to, do likewise. This is a DUTY we owe our city, as well as our people of this community. Cleveland needs and sorely, too, a change of control. It is absolutely necessary for the "good and welfare" of all the residents of the city. Mr. Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., says: "It is plain to everyone that the states are unwilling or unable to stop lynching. That is entirely too broad and too general a statement, Mr. White. A number of states have enacted effective mob violence acts or antlynch-murder laws, and should be credited with so doing. --- The placing of Inspector Costello, in charge of the third police precinct, absolutely insures proper police protection during the election period, next week, for all of the people of that section of the city. We have known Inspector Costello for years, a personal friend, and have every confidence in his intelligence, ability and honesty. He is one of the best officers in the local police department and will do his full and clear duty as usual, next week, without fear or favor from any source. VOTE FOR THE TAX LEVY. In the upper right hand corner of the County issues ballot which every voter will receive on election day is a section headed "For Poor Relief and Welfare Purposes." Last year we approved one mill for poor relief—this year two and one-half mills is needed. Your vote and the vote of every member of your family should be placed in favor of this levy because this is one job which cannot be delayed. We cannot tell a single hungry child to wait until next year to eat—times will be better. We cannot tell a single tubercular—go crawl into some corner until we can afford to cure you. The voters of Cuyahoga County have never shut their eyes to suffering or distress and in this year of need you will continue to do your part in meeting this need. If you are in doubt about the necessity for this tax levy, just imagine the suffering and the sorrow which will follow if the levy is defeated—6,000 helpless children deprived of the necessities of life, 3,300 war veterans and their families without food or shelter, 19,000 sufferers of tuberculosis and other sickness without proper care or treatment. Help to answer this cry for relief. Cuyahoga County must meet the needs of the dependent and the helpless. VOTE "FOR" THE TAX LEVY ON NOV. 7TH. AN APPRECIATION. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 12, '33. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith: I guess you think I have forgotten you! I am enclosing P. O. money order for $4 for the years, 1933 and 1934, and hope it is not too late to send con- gratulations on The Gazette's fifty- first birthday. Rev. J. W. Gazaway (one of the Gazette's earliest and best friends ) Editor first told me of The Gazette in 1884. I was so happy when I received a copy as it was the first paper I ever read that was owned and edited by one of our race. It is the same old reliable paper now, that it was then. I wish you many, many happy returns of the year. "Glady" joins me in sending congratulations. Yours respectfully. (Mrs.) Ida B. Wells. "NEGRO DEMOCRATS." Editor Plain Dealer—Sir: I read the address made by Congressman Oscar De Priest at Mt. Zion Cong. church in Monday morning's Plain Dealer. For one who has achieved the distinction of becoming a U. s. congressman it is fair to assume that such a person would be consistent in a belief that is fundamental in his general platform. In Sunday's address it appeared from the reported article that De Priest negroed Negro Democrats for deserting the public. I was present at a banquet tendered in honor of Mr. De Priest about three and a half years ago in the dining room of the Phillis Wheatley Association. At that time the master of ceremonies introduced me as an assistant county prosecutor but a Democrat. When Oscar De Priest started to speak one of the first things he said was: "I want to congratulate the young man who has sense enough to be a Democrat. Not until our people vote the Democrat more politically more we get any place more politically. Mr. Priest further emphasized this observation with the following figure: "You do not chase after a street car after you have caught it. And so it is with the Republican party; they think they have a strangle hold on your votes and have nothing further to do to get them." Mr. De Priest went even further than that in discussion at that time and stated that even though he was severely criticized for it, he was advocating for it with the Democrats the South vote with the Democrats because that was their only possible salvation. NORMAN S. MINOR. Cleveland The unfortunate thing about the foregoing is that as far as its repetition of De Priest's statements is concerned, it is correct. De Priest stands guilty as charged but was and is inconsistent as well as wrong. His "belief" may be "fundamental in his general platform" but that does not make him right or his "general platform" correct, by a good deal. He was wrong when he advised our people in South or North Carolina, many months ago, to espouse the cause of Democracy, and then come North only to make conflicting statements along the same line in his addresses and campaign speeches. As a Republican congressman and our only representative in that august body, he was right in "bitterly assailing 'Negro' Democrats for deserting the Republican party," and there was where he should have anchored, to be consistent. Telling our people in the South and at times encouraging those in the North to affiliate with Democracy was not only wrong but positively bad and harmful to the race generally, because affiliating with that party was only supporting the organization that is dominated by our bitter enemy, southern Democracy, the power in that section of the country that supports disfranchisement, lynch-murder, segregation, "jim-crow" cars and about all the other harmful things visited upon our people in that section of the country as well as many parts of the North. No sane, sensible and loyal member of the race can support the Democratic party without sacrificing self and race respect, and giving aid to those who have from the very beginning opposed our enjoying many of the most important rights and privileges of American citizenship. Indeed, led by southern Democrats, Democracy is wholly responsible for Afro-Americans being theoretical instead of practical American citizens. Wherever it is possible, they withhold from us the free exercise of many rights and privileges, guaranteed in the fundamental law of the land. De Priest may not and yet ought to know that no young or old man of the race indicates the possession of good "sense" by being a Democrat under existing conditions, but does show a woofful lack of that very essential. There are other and better ways "to get any place in politics" even if our only congressman does not know them. His membership in the congress belies his remark, relative to "chasing a street-car after one has caught it." Our interests (which means our rights and privileges) have been wrapped up in the Republican party ever since our enfranchisement and will continue to be just so long as that party shows any disposition to promote our vital interests, and the Democratic party, led by southern Democracy, continues to consistently oppose practically every effort made by the Republican party and our selves to get them. The only explanation that one can give for the peculiar and inconsistent political attitude maintained by De Priest, ever since he entered Congress, is the fact that he seems to be unable, if not incapable, of understanding the real relation of our people to the two parties. One has been as consistent in the exhibition of real friendship from the very beginning as the other has been in its opposition to about everything that means real progress to Afro-Americans. As a matter of fact, no "Negro" can be a Democrat and have proper regard for the rights, privileges and decent treatment of his people in this country, particularly in the South. The so-called "Negro Democrat" is a selfish, disloyal individual, working for his own interests and against those of his people. That is the best that can be said of him. Our vital interests, along a citizens' rights and privileges line, are wholly dependent upon the success of the Republican party because of the at- CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and other states have enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio enactment nor northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285.

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 full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 notice 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 our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Akron-High "Going Some!" Akron, O.—This fall, Coach Biechley of Akron West High school, the former Wittenberg quarterback, mustered a group of last year's reserves around his sole remaining ball-toting star, Wee Willie Collier, and has seen his boys sail thru, undefeated in six games thus far, with only a scoreless tie with Sharon, Pa., to interrupt a march of triumph. Collier is by no means alone in the West backfield. Another Afro-American sensation, Al Mobley, handles the other halfback post almost as elusive. The rest of the team are whites.

The program of after six o'clock autumn and winter social season is just like that—trending toward an era of grande dame modes the equal of which have not been beheld for many a decade past. Not only are fabrics, laces, jewelry, furs and all such elegancies which go to make for formality of the most luxurious sort this season, but the very stateliness of the new silhouette lends itself impressively to the scene. In this era of splendor for the evening mode, ladies are taking on sirenliness and statuesque "lines" which only sheath-fitting gowns which dare to flare not at all until they have reached a sufficient distance below the knee, can impart. If there is one requisite more than another which a program of elegance in dress calls for, it is that the fabrics employed be as beautiful as looms and hand-weaving can make them. Which is eminently true in regard to the lovely velvets, the gleaming satins, the enchanting laces and the scintillating metal cloth which are glorifying the scene of action at the present moment. If one can afford but one handsome evening dress by all means let it be of black velvet for as every knowing woman will agree there is nothing which so flatters as this lovely material. You will notice that the handsome velvet costume pictured to the left in this group adopts the very latest styling which calls for a flounced hemline. This ankle flare is headed with a ruche which is lined with black taffeta. The pointed-at-theshoulder long sleeves are also a significant style 1 They are called chin flowers because you wear them right close up under the chin. They really began as an evening novelty and as such serve admirably in adding a pretty touch to the new high-in-front necklines which so many of the smartest metal cloth and other rich fabric formal gowns feature. The favorite type for wear with these dressy night creations is the enormous velvet petrop which is positioned right up under the chin. However, the attractiveness of this fashion has led to flowers being posed in a similar manner on daytime frocks. At the top, in the picture, the young woman with the rust-colored wool frock which has braided epaulets is wearing conventional popies made of deep nasturtium colored kidskin. Below vivid chrysanthemums are clustered at the neckline of a black crepe dress. Hug-Me-Tights Back Hug-might-back Hug-might-jackets such as grandmother wore are here again. Among the models displayed in fall fashion shows was a black wool frock topped by a sleeveless waistlength hug-might-jacket crocheted with heavy white silk and wool thread. feature. As to the extreme decollette, this gesture of a high front neckline with a very low-cut line at the back is characteristic of the majority of the newest evening gowns. The velvet theme is accented in the gloves which are of this same—a thoroughly modern dinner gown this, in the strictest sense of the word. The gown to the right in the picture is one of those adorable lace creations which add infinitely to feminine charm. Lelong gives this model outstanding distinction in that the lace is in the new and lovely wild blackberry shade and is of cobwe delicacy. Also the movement which places fullness at the back through cascades of the lace is very important, for the latest imports stress fanciful back treatments. Again we see the higher neckline at the front sloping to waistline depth at the back. As to lace as a medium for dressy dinner gowns and dance-party frocks too much emphasis cannot be placed upon its high-stile standing. The entrancing frock centered in the foreground is of gleaming, scintillating brocaded silver lame, for, as we intimated before, metal weaves abound in the realm of evening materials. We may expect to see more beautiful gold and silver (particularly the latter) fabrics this season than usual. In fact the glittering note resounds through out the entire evening dress program. Schiaparelli here interprets the new bateau neckline combined with a low back, and of course being formal this dress has a train. BLACK SHEEP TWEED IS NEEST FABRIC The black sheep has come into his own. He always was a sort of romantic and interesting old fellow, and now he has given the coat off his back to make some of the season's most stunning sports clothes, to be worn by lovely ladies. Black sheep tweed is the newest of the new fabrics, sponsored by Schiaparelli and shown in clothes made by American designers. A rough, rich, flecked tweed with homespun look, it uses the undyed wool of the black sheep, which isn't black at all, but a deep brown or gray. And is it a knockout? It is. One of the nicest sports outfits of the season has a jacket of gray black sheep tweed flecked with yellow, with a gray skirt and a blouse of gray knitted silk jersey. Black sheep tweed also fashions a stunning full-length coat with a civet cat bow tie with long ends. Another new fabric known as New Jersey, but having no connection with the state, is used in a gray sports suit with alternate blouses, one of red silk Jersey and the other of the same material in black. Hem Takes on Importance on Longer Autumn Skirts Hems never have been so important. With the lengthening of skirts they have been made to swish with a vengeance by means of trimming them with all sorts of flounces, knife-pleating, box pleats, pressed flat, pufts of the same or contrasting materials and double-bias folds. Bows pulled out flat and appliqued against the skirt somewhere between the knee and the ankle also are being used by many dressmakers to give a decorative look to the new swirling skirts—Mae Westish, of course. Children's Clothes Early showings for juveniles by special houses would indicate that this winter will see the prominence of velvets and ribbed materials for youngsters' fashions which follow more closely than ever the tendencies of the "haute conture" for grownups. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOV. 4TH, 1933. VOTE FOR JOHNSON For Judge of the Municipal Court Four-Year Longtime Friend of the Race Help elect Atty. Albert S. Johnson, a judge of the Municipal Court (four-year term). He is a man who gives every man and woman a fair and square deal regardless of creed, religion or color. We have equality before the LAW. What we need is equality before the COURT. Don't permit yourself to be exploited by judicial candidates who never did anything for our people but who are candidates because they have an axe to grind. When Mr. Johnson was a supervisor for many years in the Cleveland Post Office, he gave all of our employees, there, the deal they were rightful entitled to. His father was a soldier in the Civil War and his only brother was killed at the battle of Chancellerville, Mr. Johnson takes pride in being a member of the N. A. A. C. P, and will always raise his voice to champion the cause of our constitutional rights to which we are justly entitled as American citizens. A vote for Albert S. Johnson is a vote for a real friend. Do not forget him, Tuesday, when you go to the polls to vote. VOTE FOR JUDGE F. S. DAY! For 25 Years a Personal Friend of the Editor of "The Gazette" Who Recommends Him Highly to All of Our Voters. Judge Frank S. Day is a native of Cleveland and lived on the west side during his first 26 years. He is a graduate of St. Ignatius college and of the Law School of Baldwin-Wallace college, being admitted to practice in 1907. In 1909 Mayor Tom L. Johnson secured his appointment, without his knowledge, as assistant county prosecutor, which position he filled for two years. In 1911 he appointed prosecuting attorney of the municipal court, serving for four years. Gov. Jas. M. Cox appointed him to fill an unexpired term on the municipal bench in 1917. In 1919 he appointed Mr. Day a judge of common pleas court and in the ensuing election Judge Day was elected to the position by the largest vote given any candidate at that election, receiving 114,000 votes. He was supported by the Cleveland Bar Association and the Clerk of the newspaper. In the call of 1921 he was elected to the municipal court bench and is a candidate for re-election to the six-year term. So on Tuesday do not fail to give Judge Frank S. Day a vote and please him as well as the editor of The Gazette. VOTE FOR BANNICK. A Strong Candidate for Judge of Municipal Court—A Self-Made Man Thoroly Competent and Deserving. At the age of eight, Christian J. Bannick, a candidate for municipal judge, four-year term, was a bootblack and "newisle" in Scranton, Pa. In 1912, when 25 years of age, he went to Illinois and attended high school at Evanston Academy and University High school, graduating in two years. In 1914 he graduated from Northwestern University. To get money to further his education, he lectured in the School of Commerce at that university, his spouse and children repelled a diploma. In 1915 he entered Stanford University and received a liberal arts degree in two years. He received an M. A. degree from the University of California. Bannick joined the marines but didn't get to France. He was honorably discharged and went back to lecturing in economics and business administration at California. After a year and a half at the law school there, he came to Cleveland as dean of the business administration college of Spencerian School of Commerce. About a year later, he graduated from John Marshall Law School and went to Baldwin-Wallace U. to get a degree. He then went back to John Marshall and took a postgraduate course in law, winding up with seven college degrees. Today, at 43, he is a successful attorney with offices in the Standard Bank building. MAHONING VALLEY NEWS. YOUNGSTOWN, O. — This is the closing week of the conference being held at Phillips C. M. E. church. Several evenings special programs were rendered in recognition of professions and businesses. Rev. T. A. Smith of Akron, the pastor, S. W. McLure, and Rev. S. P. Phillips delivered a sermon to Dr. W. P. Burton, to a few many months and taken to a veterinary hospital in Dayton, a few weeks ago, died, last week Thursday morning. Funeral, Friday afternoon, in that city, Mrs. Bette Ragland, Mrs. Mamie Deenor of Pa., Mrs. Elizabeth Downs and Mrs. Richard Gray motored to Dayton to attend the funeral. —A mass meeting will be held at Third Baptist church, Monday evening, to urge the employment of some of our people as teachers in the local public schools. —All services for Winn, of Rayen Ave. were held, Wednesday afternoon, at Union Baptist church, the pastor, Rev. J. D. Jones, officiating, —Miss Lula Gee, former Belmont "Y" executive, was a week-end visitor of Miss A. Warner. The Cleveland Gazette, one of the most valuable and interesting exchanges, commenced the fifty-first year of its publication, last week, and we extend our most sincere congratulations, for during all these years it has been a welcome visitor to this office. No race journal has been more earnest and ardent in defending the rights of the race, and our good friend, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, deserves the support and encouragement of the Gazette has been regular, reliable and readible and merits all the praise which it has received. Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist. SILBERT FOR JUDGE A Former Member of the Ohio Legislature—His Candidary Well Received in All Circles—A Real Friend of the Race. J. H. Silbert for judge is now the talk of Cleveland citizenry. It may be said that no other candidate receives such a favorable reaction as Silbert. "Silbert for Judge" is now the slogan of every voter, without distinction of language, creed, or race. J. H. Silbert is well known. Whoever knows him trusts his platform and knows that he can vote for no better man. Atty. Jos. H. Silbert has a reputable standing in the profes- 3 sion. He needs no recommendation, be it from whatever side, for no one can deny that he is best qualified for the position as lawmaker. Silbert has served his community and state to the best of his ability and commanded for himself the respect and recognition of his colleagues, and especially of the entire press. Silbert, while a member of the Ohio State Legislature, was the first one to sponsor, and became the author of the bill to compensate one of our own, Joseph Weaver, in the sum of $15,600 for damages which he suffered in being imprisoned in the death cell in Columbus for almost two years awaiting execution. Representative Chester K. Gillespie secured the enactment of this bill some months ago. Silbert has helped girls to Wilberforce, where they are receiving a college education. He is honest, diligent, and devoted, and has always been a friend of our race and our people. A vote for J. H. Silbert for Municipal Judge, six year term, is a vote for the right man.

Steuer, who is a candidate for reelection on the six-year term, is probably the leading exponent of liberal thought on the bench. His efforts on problems affecting our group have not been confined to words. Judge Steuer is a member of the executive committee of the organization in Chicago and the president of the local association, Mr. David Pierce, went as delegates to the National Convention of the organization in Chicago and put through a resolution demanding equal rights in the form of making a federal criminal law to participate in lynchings and other discriminations. Further, that the government give representation to the group on the Farm Board and on the Labor Board. There was farther put in the law for which Judge Steuer was responsible if the government would not consent to it, this group would apply to the League of Nations, for protection to minorities existing in all countries. OBITUARY. Mrs. Nellie Mitchell Smith, a native of Oberlin, wife of Prof. Chass. S. Smith, head of the commercial bureau of the State Department at Wilberforce, sister of Mrs. John P. Green and mother of Mrs. Dunne, born at the latters residence in S. Blvd., Sunday, after many months, illness. She was bore here from her home at Wilberforce, several weeks ago, critically ill. The remains were taken there, Monday evening, for interment. Hosts of friends and acquaintances throughout the country will mourn her. Her husband and family their heartfelt sympathy, Mrs. Smith was greatly beloved and respected by all who knew her. Some writer has well said: I never loved a shrub or flower but it was sure to fade away. I never nursed a dear gazelle to glad me with its soft black eye. But when it came to know me well, and love me. It was sure to die. Tillman Gray, 5910 Longfellow Ave., died suddenly, Monday night. The father, sister, and brother who came from Georgia to attend the funeral, survive and have the sympathy of many friends. Tillman had served as a porter at The Bailey Co. for fifteen years. The number of recent registrants in the 11th Ward was 2,496; in the 12th Ward, approximately 3,000; the 17th Ward, 3,321, and approximately 2,900 in the 18th Ward. The maximum voting strength in each of the six wards is about 10,000. The maximum strength of all four wards is close to 40,000 eligible voters. It is expected that about 80 per cent will vote election day, Nov. 7, '33. The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The Rounder wants to warn all of our people owning property in that section to not sign papers of real estate agents or other "Housing" representatives, giving option on their property anywhere in the Central Ave. district. If you do, you will lose about three-fourths of its value. Remember this, and tell it! The Rounder has not changed his opinion in the least but still believes that the re-election of Mrs. Mary B. Martin to the School Board is the proper thing for our people to help to do on Tuesday next. Our surest way to help to defeat her is to divide our vote. Remember this! Mrs. Martin is entitled to a second term and will give her the power she will give deserving numbers of the race more consideration and more help in the light of her first term experience. As the editor of The Gazette well says: 'When any of our people's interests are threatened or concerned, we always know where is Councilman Herman H. Finkle, 'The Little Napoleon' of local Republican politics'. Tried and true, always a real friend of the race, Councilman Finkle is the idol of our people of the 12th Ward along with his brother-in-law, attorney B. Barwon, a Republican leader of that ward, another sterling friend of the race and a long-time personal friend of the editor. Possibly the largest Republican campaign mass meeting, thus far, was the one at Tried Stone Baptist church, Tuesday evening. There were many speakers of course, but it was Miss Jane Hunter's uncalled for inuendo attack on the candidacy of Mrs. Mary B. Martin, who sat on the platform, that astounded about every one in the large audience and the group audience. She hand-speaker used. She supplemented her talk with an attack on Central High School that should have been made at school headquarters to Supt. Lake, head of Cleveland's public school system, and his assistant superintendents. Our only chance to have a member of the next school board rests in the re-election campaign. We especially any loyal woman of the race to take the stand Miss Hunter did in her speech at Tried Stone, Tuesday evening. Mrs. Martin has a good chance to win, which we should take advantage of at this time and then later on confer with her as to her future course, as a candidate in the handling of problems in the local public school system, of special interest to our people. JUDGE LAUSCHE. One of the Best on the Bench—Fain and Just to All—Some of His Good Work—Close to the People. Judge Frank J. Lausche, who is seeking election as a judge of the municipal court, was appointed to the bench, Jan. 1. '33. During his service, he has won the respect of lawyers and litigants alike, always trying to blend judgment and mercy. He was the first member of the court, hearing eviction cases, which desitutes were required to move, from ten to twenty-five days. His act in refusing to grant immediate eviction of tenants, at first brot upon him much criticism, all later conceding, however, that he was right! In the last few years, considerable suffering has occurred, charging three per cent a month on money loaned and in addition demanding that in event the borrower was unable to pay the loan, he would have to also pay the finance company, attorneys' fees and such other charges as it demanded. Just recently, Judge Lausche ruled that under the law, the finance company charged three per cent a month but not a penny more. He further held that if they attempted to charge more, the mortgage, which they took back, would be invalid. In a case, he also refused to allow the finance company to take from the borrower the auto which was mortgaged. It is expected that the rule which he has laid down will also apply to cases in which furniture household belongings are mortgaged. The Cleveland Press in recommending Judge Lausche said: "He is a man of outstanding ability and integrity." The Cleveland News stated that "Judge Lausche in the short time that he has been on the bench has won the respect of all who came before him." Judge Lausche has also been indorsed by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Bar Association and the Cleveland Citizens League. Be sure to give him your vote, Tuesday, and make no mistake!
