“Traditional Duty Toward Negro” to Be
Maintained, Hoover Tells Negro Group
. Calling on President at White House
Says Republican Party
Will Continue Tradi
tions of Lincoln
WASHINGTON ' —(AP)— > Upon
White House steps,a delegation of.
more than 150 Negro voters Sat..
urday a-kel of President Hoover
and received fr'om him a declara
tion that “the right of liberty, jus.
tice and equal opportunity is
yours.” ‘
Standing with head uncovered
under a warm Sun, .the President
told the Negro delegates gathered
in a semi-circle below him that he
desired to carry on the Republitan
traditions of Abraham Lincoln.
“You may rest assured,” he said,
“that our party will not abandon
or depart from ils traditional duty
toward the American Negro, 1 shall
sustain this pledge given in the
firct instance by isc¢ mmortal Lin
coln and ransmitted by him to
those who followed as a sacred
trust,”
The Chief Executive’s statement
was in reply to three addresses by
Negro spokesmen who said they
came as a joint national planning
committee gathered from more
than 20 states to get out the Pres
idential vote of their race. One af
ter another they stepped into a
cleared circle to speak.

Talmadge Seeks
Equal Rights for
Cotton Farmers
ATLANTA, Ga.— (AP) — The
same rights for cotton farmers of
the South as granted grain farm
ers of the West in payment of
feed and seed loans was ‘asked
Saturday by FEugene Talmadge,
commissioner of agriculture and
Democratic gubernatorial nomine=,
in a letter to Arthur M. Hyde, U.
S. Secretary of Agriculture.
Talmadge said that he had noted
in the press that western grain
farmers had been granted the
privilege of repaying -25 percent
of their feed and seed loans to the
government, but that he had not
been notified that the same priv
ilege had been granted cotton far
mers.
“It seems to me,’ Talmadge
wrote, “thigt the farmers of the
country should all be fed out of
the same spoon, and that the, cot~
ton farmer should not be discrim
inated against.
“If the cotton farmer is requir
ed to pay this loan 100 percent, it
will mean the suffering of women
and children all over the southland
this winter.”
The commissioner, who attribut
ed the overwhelming vote he re
ceived for governor to the farm
ers, asked Secretary Hyde to in
vestigate and give the cotton far
mers thé same rights as the grain
agriculturists.
