Mallette back to Hazlehurst as citizens, These good people have hundreds of friends here. | 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. - 2~ "% JEFF DAVIS COUNTY SMITH CLUB Sinclair-Bennett ‘ A marriage of cordial interest toa wide circle of friends was‘ that of Miss Eula Sinclair and Mr. Lawrence Bennett, which took place Sunday morning.
