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.
