There was not one contesting
delegation from the south to the
Chicago convention in which the
Lilly Whites were not seated and
the negro delegates told to vacate.
Even a Republican national con-
vention did not dare to decide
against the white brethren. This
is straw which indicates the way
the wind blows in a Republican
convention. There is no question
but what the negro delegates from
the south were the regulars, but
the convention recognized that
white supremacy must be upheld.
