Sentpmhpr 2(5. 192(1 THE I N ION REPUBLICAN I'AUTY OF SOUTH CAROLINA The so-called Hambright "Republicans" are having much to say in the.daily" press about their standing, as Republicans. The fact is. there "is no such thing as Hambright-Oardiifer Republicans. They may be people of Republican persuasion but as to being a wing ! of the Republican party there " ' "ain't no such animal." The only Republican party in the state tH 'the Union Republican "party headed by Joseph \V. Tolbert. This is the party that has operated in J this state .for lo these many years. True it is that a faction under the . leadership of Mr. Hambright and Mr. Gardiner were-seated in tht* Republican National convention of by the Credential committee about by the tactics of Mr. lloov-' er'< Post - M;lfc.*cer U>eneral Brown, n/no really was the sponsor of the . .- So-called fill V-H'-hif-i) Ronlihlir-nric The Credential committee was packed with Mr. Hoover's partisans who wanted what Mr. IIoov er desired?lilly whites in the South. They proceeded on the old principle that anything could be done to aifd with. Negro Republi caffs whose votes they always had in their vest pocket. They however were too dumb to recognize the fact that the Negro had begun to think and were no'longer looking on the Democratic party, as their enenfy. The result was Colored voters revolted and voted by the hundred of thousands for President Roosevelt, aiding in giving Mr. Hoover the worst drubbing any Republican president dvor had save' Mr. Taft. The Ham-| brights say they will again be rec-' ognized, but we say never-again as long as the Negro divides his votes as he has been doing since 1U327-The only recognized Republicans are those at whose head is ' Mr. Jos. W. Tolebrt. COURTS SHOT LI) PROTECT NEC ROES' LIVES If courts do not protect life, they are a useless- agency of government. Judging from some of^ the farces in this particular tak-1 ing place in some South Carolina criminal courts, the .lives of Ne___ gro.es mean nothing; they certainly are not getting the protection that the courts are duty bound to give; Last week, we discussed the sentences imposed On two white reckless drivers . of automobiles who had killed two colored persons?six months only and even that suspended. Last week in another court, a Negro who had shot and killed another Negro was 'allowed to plead guilty of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to two years, all of which was suspended hut G months. In I this samp court a man was convict ed of stealing a watch from another and was sentenced to 18 months in the penitentiary. A watch, it seemsis of more importance than a Negro. We have heard rough and ignorant Negroes threaten others with "I'll kill you and serve 2 or 3 years for you." And had the threat been carried out that's about*" alt hS~would "have grvtteTi." There is altogether too much killing of Negroes \ty Negroes and the courts are to blame for much of ? simply do not regard such as of much of an offense. ? There?bus?been?for the past three 'years much talk about a "New Deal", but it does not seem as yet to have reach the courts of Justice, a place where much of it can be used, ||l||| II - - - , V- - THREE PROMINENT NEGRO L LEADERS SAY: I "I am a firm believer in President Roosevelt's humane administration. If he had done nothing else but revive confidence. in the banking business and place banks on a sound basis, he would have justified his position. I feel a change in administration at this point of industrial and farm improvements would not be advisable'.?C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company. "The defeat of the New Deal fh November is the defeat of modern civilization."?Dr. W. .E. B. DuBois, the eminent scholar? "I am an unrfepented Democrat and a faithful supporter, of the policies and program of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt."?Bis- hop R. C, Ransom". . __ Maybe such public expressions as these from such outstanding Ne groes are not appreciated by Senator Smith of South Carolina and the few who-'think as he does, but we. wager that campaign manager! for Resident Roosevelt, Mr. Farley ! places a high valuation upon them ! He knows what they mean. But perhaps, the most significant thing about such outspoken sentiments is the growing intelligence and courage of the Negro. Twenty-five years ago, not one of these men, situated, as they are, would . not dared to so expressed themselves. A Negro Democrat would have been about as scared to let it be known in a public way as are white men in South Carolina to proclaim their undying (levelion to I the Republican cause. v But the Negro-realm's that "Time Marchesf On", even if many of his white brothers do not.
