some whites in Atlanta are ready to

tho Overwhelming majority OF ihc
race throughout the state can not
stand tho idea OF black official;
The feeling seems O be about as strong
in Maryland, on The very northern
edge of the South. Nobody pretend
ed that the negroes who aspired to
nomination on the Republican Legis-
lative ticket in Baltimore were not
qualified in point of ability and char
acter, Their only weakness was in
the matter OF color Many white Re-
publcsus would not vote for any
negro as member OF the Legislature,
and the many white Democrats whom |
the Republican leaders hope to attract |
would be driven of by such nomins-
lions. So the black aspirapts were
"turned down" because they were
black
The situation appears almost hope,
less for the Southern Republicans
The party managers must either "rc-
cognize" the negroes by giving them
their fair share Of prominent officers,
or they muet snub them because of
their color. If they recognize the
blacks they drive off so many whites
hat they stand no chance of carrying
