THAT NEGRO CONFERENCE.

Whether the conference or Negro
Office holders-mentioned elsewhere III
this issue of The Advocate-is to be
held we do not know. Whether any
good would come from such a confer
ence we do not know. But We do know
that there is urgent need OF better
understanding between those who have
elected or who have been selected to
voice the wishes Of the Negro. and
those who "sit in the seats of the
mighty" of the dominant party.
The plain statement Of a fact, which
1t is wise to ignore no longer, is that
the Republican party is losing its hold
on the Negro voter South as we'll as
North. The report comes from North
Carolina that her 10000 black voters
did not march up to the polls and
vote the straight Republican ticket
with the unanimity which characterize
I'D the exercise of their franchise
rights in the past. The Tennessee Ne
groes divided" and a considerable
number cast their lots with the DEM
Gcrats.
We have been long accustomed to Ne
gro Democrats in appreciable numbers
above the Mason and Dixon line but,
until recently, it was only here and
there South that a Negro had the te-
merity to come out in the open against
"the party which set him free, and he
was Ostracised and considered by his
fellows q brand fit for the burning
Now, there are few communities with
out their Negro democrats, men with
little influence perhaps, but yet toler-
aied and oftimes needed.
no attempt Will be made here to dis
cuss either the causes or the wisdom
of this detection. Our object is SIM
ply to call attention to the defe ,tion
and urge upon the powers that be the
necessity of IA1ng some steps to conn
.teract it, if they would preserve the
allegiance Of once faithful ally. II
they are not IL accord with a certain
element to build up oily white" Re
publican party throughout the nation.
such moves as were made by the Mis-
souri, Democrats, who pledged them
selves not to enact legislation hostile
to Negroes, must be checkmated; some
steps must be taken looking to the pro-
lection of the life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness Of all citizens; and great
er recognition must be given to those
who make Republican success possible
Democrats are gradually checking
off those who would ride into power
on the race question; it is becoming
less and less "the proper thing" to ap
peal to race prejudice and to threaten
social equality Instead, at the South
and in the border States, the argu-
ment is being advanced that me El?-
terial interests of the races being in
dissolubly bound together. their poll
tics, upon which is dependent material
interests, should be of one brand. In
short, our one time enemies are openly
making bid for our aid.
This IS the situation which the pro-
posed conference must face and thyse
are some of the problems it must solve
II it would instify its assembling But
however bravely it faces the situation,
and however correctly It solves these
problems, all will be for naught unless
tie party leaders seal their actions
with approval and act upon their
recommendations.

DAYS don't steal a. many bases as they used
20 twenty years ago 4 a plain, bald fact.
but that doesn't necessarily mean that base
running has suffered 20 the deiriment OF
the game on the contrary, baseball u a
more sclantih, and interesting game nov
Than when many more bases were stolen.
The high DEVELOPMENT Of team wOrk-which
IA one reason Why 30 many bases aren't
stolen-the hit and run play for instance
has improved The game a. a game, even II
doing away with some individuality and
initiative by individual players on the bases
Baseuinners are a. fas' A. they ever were
here are jus, a. many OF them and they run
with iust a. good judgment. Aren't Cobb
and Collins and Bescher fully a. good as
we're Hamilton. stoyey and fOgarty'
or 10 rlit u in another way. wouldn't they
stsal Jus; A. many bases u the sane cOndi-
tons Obtaiued'
Aside from the subor6inatiOn Of the
individual 10 the team there are excellent
reasons Why fewer bases are stolen In TN
present era Of the national game. They
are reasons which do not ConCern az al the
ability Of the runners themselves. For one
hing there i q big difference IN the way
stolen bases are scored Once upon q time
al q player had to do was 10 start for the
nsxt base with the pitch and he got credit
for a steal-if be got there-no matter what |
happened to the pitched ball. II the ball
vas hit be got his steal Just the same. The /
present rules prohibit crediitng man With /
q steal Il he gets TO the next base aided by a
bafted hall, and that in itself makes a
difference
