"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.

sent to make a three minute talk at 1
a Howard University commencement,
especially during election year.
i' i;om whatever section .he President I
'may hail the Negro must be ever- 1
lastingly on the look out against the <
cur ailment, of his rights and 'pr.ivi- j
leges under'the Constitution and the <
law. * (
All,of this talk- about the Scu.h
being in the saddle is arrant non- \
sense. The South is ahVady firmly <
I seated in the saddle as far as .'lie ]
| Negro is concerned, under a Repub- |
lican administration. Mr. Hoover ]
dares not take any affirmative stand ,
on the race question for fear of the .
South. Both Lily white Republicans
and Bourbon Democrats hold hint m i
restraint. <
The South represents one- ..bird 01 j
the natron and cannot forever he I
kept out of national power and au- I
thori y. The future of the Negro '
would indeed be sad to contemplate
if it depends on forever keeping a
Southerner from the White House.^FhrNegTO
politician rc short-sighted ~
to the point of fatality if his hopes
are built upon any such flimsy foundation.
I would say to jlre Negro?vote
for Herbert Hoover or Franklin I).
Roosevelt, as you may deem it wise.
If through any tragic eventuality,
Curtis or Garner Should succeed to
the Presidency, res.. assured that
God still reigns and the Government
at Washington will still live, and
while God- reigns and the Government
lives, the Negro will live also.
