Speech of Acceptance
Delivered by
Robert Ramspeck
Candidate For
Congress
i" ' j
To the Convention Held Saturday,
September 14, 1929, in Which He
Was Named as the Nominee of the
Democratic White Primary in the
Election to Be Held on October 2,
1929.
It is with a solemn sense of re
sponsibility that I accept the nomina
tion of the Democratic party as its
standard bearer in the Congressional
election to be held on the second of
October.
This district has been represneted in
the halls of Congress by men of ability
and high purpose. In the death of the
late Leslie Jasper Steele, I lost a close
and valued friend and the district.lost
a representative without a peer in his
tory', for had he lived to serve several
terms, he woukl have proven to the
people of the district his sterling
worth, as it was known to those of
us privileged to he his neighbors.
As the nominee of the white pri
mary of last Wednesday, I stand upon
the principles of the party as enunciat
ed in the platform adopted at the last
national convention. So far as I re
call, no Georgian has ever objected to
that platform. It is unfortunate, but
true, that a division arose last year in
the ranks of the white people of this
district, but that division was over the
nominee of the National Party and
not over the platform.
That division and that controversy
is “water over the dame.” That ques
tion was settled by the sovereign vote
of the people. It is futile and unbe
coming for anyone to attempt to ride
into office by again stirring strife in
the ranks of the white voters of the
distinct; to attempt to secure position
by relighting the fire of discord.
The Fifth District is the most im
portant in wealth, the largest in popu.
lation soutn of the Ohio and Potomac
sivers. It is the Capitol district of the
Empire State of the South and the
industrial and commercial center of
the Southeast.
The district is growing in impor
tance, in commerce and in industry.
It should be represented by one whose
viewpoint in all things is progres
sive, one who has at heart the needs
of this growing section, one who will
work and labor for further develop
ment. It would be futile to send to
Congress a man whose mind is dwel
ling upon the past, whose efforts will
merely be that of opposition, whose
purpose is destructive rather than con
structive.
Legislation in Washington is en
acted by party action. The district
cannot be properly represented by one
whom neither party would admit into
its eooncils. Even the opposite party
will be less inclined to listen to a Con
gressman withoot a party.
The outstanding issue in this race
will be the retention of control of pub
lic affairs in the hands of the white
people of the district. Since the bitter
days of reconstruction in the South,
if has been the policy of the people
of this district to let nothing interfere
with white control. This is imperative
for the best interest of our people. We
have in the past, for many years,
settled our local differences by a white
primary. An effort is now being made
to destroy this system of white con
trol. This effort is merely an enter
ing wedge. If it succeeds, the white
people of this district will face the
same fight in every election, city,
county and state. It will bring dis
cord and strife. It will bring 1 the
negro back into politics in Georgia. It
is a part of a nationwide effort to
establish equal rights for the negro,
both social and political.
I have never criticized the personal
political views of those who differ with
me. They have the same right to
their opinion that I have to mine. I
do not now and have not criticized
those who last year voted against the
nominee of the party, but there is
no reason today for reviving that fight.
There is a vast difference between the
voter, who, without hope of reward
or personal gain, cast his or her ballot
against the nominee of the Democratic
party, and the office-seeker, who for
personal advantage now endeavors to
fan the fire of discord into a blaze so
that he may acquire political office.
If the people of the Fifth District
honor me as their representative in the
National Congress, I promise to deal
justly, equally and fairly with all
classes. Labor and capital, the rich
and the poor shall all have a square
deal at my hands. My every effort will
be to represent the best interest of all
the people of this district and to act
for the best interests of the Nation.
It will be my purpose to give
especial attention to the needs of the
people of this rapidly developing sec
tion; real aid to the farmer through
better markets and marketing facili
ties; prompt and tireless service to
the men who bared their breasts to the
bullets of our enemies in France and
the Spanish war; prompt and careful
attention to every request from every
citizen for information and service in
Washington.
My heart is filled with gratitude to
the white people of this district for
the honor they conferred upon me last
Wednesday, for the confidence they ex
pressed in choosing me as the stand
ard bearer of that grand old party,
that party which must be the haven
of those believing in white control in
public affairs. Our party must remain
their hope for white supremacy in
politics. It should and must be made
| the voice of the white Americans of
the Nation, and my efforts shall al
ways be directed toward making our
party the white dry American force in
National politics.
If the people of this district entrust
to me their interest in the Congress of
the United States, I will give to them
faithful, honest and diligent srevice
during the coming years, and endeavor
to truly represent all of the people
equally.
