.1 "What argument will you . to the colored voter in the im, ing campaign?" I queried of a (. k tinguished Negro Republican politician. Quiok as lightning came thi* response?"Keep Jack Garner out of the White House." For forty years the Negro. has been stampeded by the emotion of-gratitude for the next forty, if the old line politician has his way, he will be stampeded by the motive of year. No reason, nor logic ?: no argument, but sheer hysteria. Iin-= mediately after emancipation it was easy tq understand?How a?.highly emotional people could be moved by *. a metaphor and frightened by a phrase: But after sixty years of ed udatiop and experience, we might .naturally expect that the Negro vot-, er of to-day would respond to the appeal of reason and common sense. We appealed o both of tho groat pub itical parties to guarantee in their - platform equal rights and privileges for our neglected group, but they a both have parried our request with meaningless generalities. The N'e^5 goo has no more comfort from the platform of the one than from the other. They do not differ vitally on the issues of the d^y. Both claim in anuie iormuias for the cure of depression which we take with a grain of salt. The Democratic platform' is equivocally wet or dry according to the political exigencies of time and -placer-and circumstance. On the tariff they a'gree on the protective prin ciple with a divergent degree of em- . phasis. Both staivd unecfu/1 vocally for' sotand tiioney and the payment of foreign?debts by?creditor nations. There is absolutely nothing in either which is calculated to elicit the. whole ? - souletl undivided advocacy of_tb.<L Nor gro vote as a whole. The individual voter is-left absolutely Tree to cast his ballot for men and measures according to his best judgement and i^ntereest. IGratitude for. the past. and fear of the future have no proper place irr the campaign. Garner? He has been in public life for thirty years without cau.dn.tr the Negito any public or political hurt. He has been Speaker of the House of Representatives for tone year, during that time there has been no hostile agitation of the race quesion. Oscar DePries served in the House under both Longworth and Cannon, lie fared ed as courteously under the one as the other. The Candidates for the presidency are Herbert?Huu'vor and Franklin Roosevelt. Curtis and Gai* ner are candidates for the Vice-Presidency. No one would dare say that .Garner would not make a dynamic Vice-President. He has proved JiimSef to be the most nowerfnl Sn?nl-nr of the House since Tom Reed and Joe Cannon. As Vice-President, he could give Charles D^wes spades and caiMs;' He certainly would never be caught napping as once happened to the dynamic Dawes. It is usually considered unmanner-. ly to forecast that the elected president will be supplanted by the vicepresident. I am sure that the Republicans would deeply decry the pre -?-?-dietion--that Gartiw will ...sucrced Hoover during the next quadrennium. But let us face frankly the possible eventuality. . If by any tragic chance Garner should come to the j White House, I can easily see why the monied interests of the cpuntrfr might abow some trepidaion.^ J3ut The personality of the President makes very little difference to him one way or the other. If it should turn out that Mr. Garner, did not - chose to have his picture taken with a Negro group, he certainly has distinguished Republican precedent. If he did?not appoint?any?Negroes?trroffice, he would not lag very far behind Calvin Coolidge and HerbertHoover. Iff Negroes were denied a fair chance in the Civil Service, do noj even the Republicans the same? Why should the Negro fear a Southern man in the White House? Any man of any section of the country who has suffeient reputation and sfanding?before?the nation?to brexal jed to that high . station must needs indicate suffiaient breadth of patriotism and statesmanship to treat all American citizens with be/ coming civility and courtesy. I doubt not but that Mr. Garner would conMr. Henry Gary Jr., Succiimbs in Auto A eeidonf A. AVVA\?VAI l/ Porfti?C1; IS. C.?Mr. Henry Gray Jr. of 2008 Senate St., Columbia, S.
