THE FUTURE OI
The ultimate f? e of lilywhitism
will bo determined in It'.'fO. If
President Hoover is replevied and
? throws the influence of his'administration
behind Southern states. The
Mississippi delegation whieh luckily
stemmed the tide at Chicago cannot
reasonably hope to further resist the
?administratis?impact. ?If on tho
the Republican party \vill_ probably
lie out of luck for the next eight
* years, if not forever. This great
organization, in the .estimation ot
many political thinkers, has jdst.
about rendered its best service to
the A met lean people. TlToTlr.'.o has
, about arrived for it tQ give way t<*,
some more piogressive agency in
closer harmony with the 'economic':and
industrial?trend of?the ?Rut
bo this as it. may, four or eight years
vacation will thoroughly disorganize
the G. O. P. and leave its roe oust rue-,
tioiwto new hands in cljsor touch
with the spirit of the uetty ago.
-..There will he rival candidates grtkuye.

ever they may he found. The South
s as hitherto, will be ti e hunting
ground. Candidates for the presidency
never have^jbeep r?co aiput

to their fortune. ' Ilerein"*li*'s the
chief tradinir noin't s:-. t u..... ...a
-. iticians. The -"wITT^ candidate:: arc
looking for the leader- who can do-t
fiver the goods. Race and .(dor
count for nought at this stage of. the
game. The .Mississippi l'olks would
be free to play the game with, an

Georgia and Louisiana would
he encouraged to 1 ring .up contesting
delegations |ily white or < hoeola'-.e
brown who would he seated if nocis
sary to the snoros< o' the dominant
. candidate. The entire- lily white fa-_
brie which has been birilt up frotu'
McKinley to Hoover would be brushed
aside with the waive,, of the hand,
if political exigency demanded - it to
be so. The Negroes' auly hope of '
ever again functioning importantly
in party Organizations in the South
rests upon the defeat of Herbert
?Hoover. But indeed the gam may
not be worth the gamble, Tho iilv
white policy as .modified by Mh Hnov
er admits tho Negro to minor race
recognition in tho most dense No
gfti?states. tf?hr?^yfH?sri+1?I'urtlter

then it remains for Negro practical
. statesmanship to determine iT this is

a lessor soak' than their, numbers
entitle them to. Both Negroes and
women must wait further development
of political capacity before they
may ria>onubly hope for pro . rata
rcpioscillation.

Brown, his fuist lieutenant, the couror

Nit one .of his three Republican successors,

y. Ollico. holding in the South is
limited to white men. Although the
Negro may control the organization
and have th,. .ituliir right to nanie
candidates for ollice, it is definitely
stipulated and understood *fhut they
must name' white men ami women to
tii'c*--c xclusion of their own race. We
have See.il Lincoln Johnson, Ben Davu<,
and ferry Howard chosen as
national comniitteemcn from . their
lespeetiye states? Aceordintf to the
customary tune lion of the national

federal ollicers for their Several
states. In every instance they have
played the ttame oct'ord/lng. to the
rule .and rccommcndtd white .audifia'es
only, in several instances the
administration has terowm dissatisfied
with this ai I annement. and' lias designated
some independent spokesman
through whom to manipulate' federal
appointments. But it all worker the
same way?"all for the while ami
none for tin- hi?-per". The 1 IfliHiCi^itie
party in the; South and its Republican
protagonist are rapidly com
