To Democrats:
(From front one)
the publication and distribution
of this scurrilous ecircular that
Mr. Wright and Brother Gantt
are seeking to charge Governor
Smith with the appointment of
this negro, when in truth and
in fact the appointment was
made by his bictter political
enemies and is directly trace
able to the Republican Party, of
which Mr. Wright and Brother
Gantt are now active but not
honored members,
As still further proof of our
statement we will call as a wit
ness in this case another pro
minent member of Mr. Wright’s
and Brother Gantt’s party in the
person of one W. E. Dubois of
New York City. Dubois is a
Republican, a Negro, and the
Editor of a Negro Newspaper
called the Crisis. Like Mr.
Wright and Brother Gantt,
Dubois is likewise an active
member of the Republican
Party and an ardent supporter
of Herbert Hoover. In an
editorial published in his paper
only a few days ago Dubois said:
“In allof Governor Smith’s
long political career he has se
dulously avoided recognizing
Negroes in any way. He has
twice vetoed bills which would
have given a colored magistrate
to Harlem, and he has never
given a Negro an appointment.
He has seldom been willing to
receive a negro delegation and
it is doubtful if he has met
personally in all -his career as
many a 8 a& half dozen of the
250,000 Negroes now in New
York State.”’
It is therefore clearly evident
that our Republican Friends
have gotten their wires badly
crossed in some way, and that
there is a wide varence between
the Breteren as to the true facts
in the case. In other words
there is a distinct issue between
the “‘Lily White”” Republicans
of Georgia on one side, and
the *Black andTan’’ - Republi
cans of New York on the other,
and the loyal Democrats of
Georgia can now stand on the
gidelines and laugh while the
brethren fight it out between
themselves without regard to
‘‘Race, Color, or Previous Con
dition of Servitude.” |
We might say however, in{
passing that inasmuch ae the
colored breathern are on the
ground, have better opportuni
tiesof knowing the facts to
which they testify, and are ap
parently less inclined to misrep
resent the truth, that it begins
to look like that the ‘‘Black and
Tan’’ Wing of the ‘‘Grand Old
Party’’ is entitled to a verdictin
the matter.
In this connection permit us to
say that we are somewhat sur
prised that Messrs Wright,
Gantt et. al. would endeavor to
raise any question as to what
party has stood for White Sup
remacy in the South, as we were
under the impression that this
question had long since been ad
judicated.
Inasmuch however, as these
gentlemen have only recently
become Republicans it may be
that they are somewhat ignorant
as to the record and platform of
their recently embraced Party
i‘i“ this particular. For their
benefit therefore, we are calling
another witness in the person of
the Right Honorable Benjamin
Davis, who is not only a Repub
lican and a Georgia Republican
at that, but who is also National
Chairman of the- Republican
Party in this State, and as guch
is the titular head of -the party
in Georgia. - J
Davis i 2 consistent Republi
can of many years standing and
is likewise a Negro, the Editor
of a Negro Newspaper, and an
ardent supporter of Mr, Hooveri
for President. ” 'ln a recent edi
torial in the Atlanta - Independ
‘ent, of which he is Editor, Dnvill
said: .
“lama Republican because
the Republican Party is the Ne
gro’s Party and is the only par
ty to which a decent Negrocan
consistently belong. It is the
party which gave him his freed
om, gave him theright to vote,
and which through the Fourtee
nth and Fifteenth Amendments
to the Federal Constitution has
sought to place him upon an eq
ual plane witn the white race.
“‘On the other hand the Demo.
cratic Party is pow, and has sl
ways been, the traditional enemy
of the Negro Race. It does not
recognize him as an equal but
treats him as an inferior, and
in the Southern States it forces
him to attend separate schools,
ride on separate cars, and to
occupy menial positions only.
“So long as the Democratic
Party insists on their so-called
White Supremacy through their
‘‘White Primaries’’ and ‘‘Jim
Crow Laws’’ lam and shall re
main a Republican.”’
In the above editorial the
issue is expressed as clear as
the noon-day sun, and as loyal
Southern Democrats we take up
the gage of battle as thrown
down by this Republican Negro.
Qur reply is that we are
Demoorats because the Demo
cratic Party is likewise the only
party to which a decent South
ern white man can belong. We
believe with all our minds,
hearts and souls in the white
supremacy which this Negro
Republican Chairman condemns,
and we will not surrender our
separate schools, separate cars,
separate churches and white pri
maries. We throw back in his
teeth the challenge of this arro
gant Republican Negro with the
assertion that so long as the
Republican Party, either under
its own name or under the alias
of ‘‘Hoover Democrats,’’ stands
for and endeavors to force upon
the people of the South social
and political equality, weare
and shall remain Democrats.
