( Saturday, July 18, 1931 CONGRESSMAN* DfePRIEST'S " POLITICAL CONIFKKENCE By K^lly Milter AYusliiiigLun, D- C.. July 14,?-The .Capital News Service, in last week's release to certain of our newspapers, carried a caricature of the preliminary conference recently called by Congressman. DePriest. It is generally assumed that a news service engaging 'to supply--the general?press should give, the uncolored facts of any nun omen I with a fair aiVd.lnipartiul analysis of their meaning and impoiA. . I opine that the illiberal spirit and partizan temper display by the- Capitol NeWs 5Tfjrvi.ee will ? iheet with the fate, that it deserves. ' . It is generally believed that the CNS is on-hf. pay-roll, of the Natibr I??i. ? ?L. mu. liic-v .ik- uuni mi ine same ,pay roll. Presumably,, it speaks with the approval and authority of the organization which it represents. 1 would very much like to believe other- wise, l'or I hold the head of the National Republican League in highest regard as=> touching his personal and public probity and hlgn-nundedness. I do no-L deem it wortJi-while to -deny or explain any of the iiitinua- r lions and illogical .a ndill tempered *de- ___ duct ions of the C. N. S.'s misleading yutput. Nothing is to be gained by engaging in controversy such easily '.provoked irascibility, j .If, however, the ?N. S , nt ii.-| ft| leged, speaks for the National Negro Republican League, I would?like -?to propound a few qufies with re-, quested authoritative answer. ff* 17 Hoes tlie "Natidna 1 Negro Remiblk'tm League object to the Ne- ~ gfo's presenting his claims to both of the great, N.atio'nal parties ? 2. Is it aware that the small coriteivnee called by ITTF: DePl'R:ll tTas for prelintuiary purposes to arrange for a race. Wide convention to de liberate and determine upon the dei sired course of action? Was not the \t..i : I M i> iminMni iiu'riu ivepuoncan League -orgunizud by. a small group of_persous called together by a single in<11 via u aTT ^ T ? Was not this liKle band full of "race statesmen" all but uni.versall.v characterised by the Negro press as being hand-picked, self-seeking, and non-representative? 4. Assuming the pertinancy .of the j-xtspersittna?of the C. N. IS., will -tbe National Negro Republican League | engage, to compare the r> lative in- % telligence, . character, public service, and race loyally of the personnel of"' the groups sponsoring the two movements. to the disparagement of the latter? f?. Will, the public please keep-in mind that. the? pePriest's bakers dozen did not of themselves formulate and launch a race-wide movement, but merely agreed "do call a convention for that purpose while the Haw- , kin's bakers dozen splitting Republican NegYoes into bitter factions, proceeded out of hand, to set up peiintanefit,organization for all Negro Republicans", wi-'h insistence that all Negroes be Republicans, since there is no other way, but its way? 0. If, as is universally believed, the National Negro Republican League operates under pay.l'r.oni the Re;., publican National Commi*tee can it candidly hope to i-xpress the untrammeled voice of the Negro race? 7. Does it hope to. stille mdependent political thought and action on part of the soTf-tlunking Negro .by manipulation of pap and patronage. Before coming across the release <>f r s; I h:iH indicted a relouse on the IL Priest Movement which Was not controversial but analytic and constructive.
