ae. U., Dek. 4, St. Editor Gazett, Dear Sir.—In the last year of t ® zonaries to our re cords, about 500 of our “ated in this city cam pus 4 Some of them somes of our good bo welcome: We and a Baptist church hall are welcome. “men arrivals are not ould be and are making it harder for our good people here. Last week, of them wrapped a crick* in the end then .t iied a jewelry store window in Broad St, the main of the city. A police man, who saw him do it, followed him home ,and found a big crap game in progress. About 25 young men were arrested. Mayor Jones gave them a good lecture, telling them that he did not intend to permit them to ruin the good reputation of the old Col ored residents of this city, that they were welcome in Elyria if they be haved themselves, but that they would have to go back South, or away from this city, if they didn’t, and that if that was the way they lived where they came from the sooner they left Elyria and this section of the country the better it would be for all con cerned. .And Mayor Jones is RIGHT! Yours respectfully, A Colored Citizen of Elyria. Woodrow’s “Red Wagon.” WASHINGTON, D. C.—Concerning national issues, U. S. Senator Moses said he stood for revision of taxation after the election so that the enter prising, thrifty northern states should not be taxed to provide revenue to be spent in avaricious, lazy southern states. “I can see what happened at Ver sailles. Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando patted Woodrow Wilson on the head and said: “You’ve been a nice little boy. We'll give you a red wagon. See the nice new letters on the sides of the shiny red wagon -League of Nations. Take it out into the vard and play! And, like any kid amused with a new toy, Woodrow Wil son took it out into the yard and prayed while they wrote the treaty.” Do You Know Her? There is something of value at The Gazette office for Mrs. Lydia McKen ney, former Mrs. Lydia Willis. This lady has lived at various points in Ohio—Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati—or has visited them for stort or long periods. Mrs. Wil lis-McKenney had relatives in Indiana polis. Any person having knowledge of her whereabouts will favor her greatly by writing the editor of this paper immediately. (Race newspa pers, please copy.) When appealed to, Gov. Frank B. Willis did all he could to help bar the infamous photoplay, “The Birth of a Nation,” from the state of Ohio. We know because the editor of The Ga zette led in that fight, as well as in the one that resulted in the ousting of the vicious companion photoplay, “The Nigger,” some years ago. The malic ious “sewer” photoplay, “The Birth (slander) of a Nation,” was kept out of the state until James M. Cox be came Governor, succeeding Gov. Wil lis. Gov. Cox “threw down the bars” and permitted the rotten exhibition to show thruout the state until the edi tor of this paper forced it from the state, thru the War Department at Washington, D. C., during the World War, on the ground that its with drawal was absolutely necessary in order to maintain and promote the morals of our people of Ohio. One of photoplay had in all Ohio was Gov. James M. Cox’s newspaper at Dayton. In the face of the foregoing well known facts it is simply impossible for any loyal member of the race to fail to vote for Frank B. Willis, Re publican candidate for U. S. Senator, the strongest supporters the infamous and for Warren G. Harding, Republi can candidate for President, next month. FRANK 8. WILLIS.
