OHIO POLITICS PRESENT SAD
SPECTACLE.

Cleveland. Ohio, Nov. 9.-There
is literally HI to pay in Ohio, this
wear There is no use calling atten-
tion TO the fact that bunk, buster
and billingsgate are playing very
comedy OF errors now being general
lly played throughout the country
| by the political wiseacres OF the
present general administration. That
would not clear up the atmosphere
wee bit. The, devil is here with MS
nit out and one knows whether to
pay his .--...-satanic highness IN
the coin of the realm or to tell him
to 90 back to the other shore of the
Styx and have his whiskers trimmed.
L Its lust one id mixup with the
Colored brother very much on the
bottom of the whole shooting match.
The result is: 1--WE expect Pomer-
Iene will be reelected Senator by a
lbig majority"
This may not be the whole truth
about the situation. Fess was to
have been beaten decisively in the
primaries. He want. He was threat
end all right. But some evil minded
genius threw a monkey wrench in
1.-THE machinery Of the darned thing
and the opposition plan blew up
with bang that could be heard
from Cleveland to the padded apart
ment of the Trace Legislative Com

vania Avenue in the "City Of Mag
Inificent Distances" and graveyard

nominated for Senator. II is de-
clared that President Harding smil-
ed and that Charlie Cottrell cussed
blue streak when the news of Fess'
success was wired to their respec-
.. tive abiding places. Some hot stuff.
Upon the surface of things this
would make the election of Pomer-
enc an unQuestioned outcome of the
situation. But, in the language of a
prominent Colored politician in this
State. 1T doesn't do anything of
the sort that the Colored vote in
Z Ohio represents what is called the
balance of power IL doesn't appear
to do much more than to balance
itself on the head after the votes
Fare counted for the fellow it was vo.
lciferously denouncing before election
time. Here we are" he continued,
literally being kicked out of the
national and state Republican or
ganization. Do we do anything more
than resolute about the darned mat
tel! Not SO as you can notice 1t.
Charlie Cottrell is madden than a
wet hen. Tom Fleming Is nursing a
sore boil on his POLITICAL neck down
around the City Hall. The rest of us
are doing hop. skip, and a jump
act that doesn't land us an half inch
beyond the scratch line at the start
ing point Of the sprint. We are on
our way, you bet you, but whittier
are we going. my honored friends?"
Nowherel If ...---..? Pomerene waits
I for the Colored Republican disaffec-
ton to elect him he's right here in
EChio now trying to make an hon
est living at the practice Of the
law. Nobody knows the Colored
Voter better than the President him
self. There's reason. But leaving
Everything else aside we have about
put ourselves outside the breast
works by the lunacy If incompetent
leaders ard & loose indecision OF po-
litical impulse that is tragi-cimic in
each and everyone Of its aspects.
On my account don't give rap
what happens just SC long as we
get the political licking of our ma
| tural life. Let them kick us cut OF
the party, Il will do us more good
than harm. We don't amount to a
political id s-nd that is all there
lis about the whole blessed natter,

| No beating around the bush there.
