Together We Win!
Divided We Lose!

The Republican party has come
again to its problem of success or
suicide. Every two years we debate
whether we shall choose candidates
and platform with view to polling
the full party strength, or whether
we would rather be right than presi-
dent" with the probable assurance
that we sacrifice all the good we can
do the state for the sake of victory
for a faction AS an organ of colored
Republicans who concern themselves
little over which faction wins, The
Statesman sees the situation without
bias. Either faction is likely to rep
resent the views of Negroes better
than will Democracy. But the ques-
ton arises how long will colored vot
ers be loyal to the party when they
have the past to prove that no mat
ter what they do, Democracy wins
through the support of the faction de-
feated.
When John w. Springer, through
his refusal to contest the seat of
Mayor Speer the first term, made of
no avail the unusually large vote we
gave him, he also deprived us of the
standing we would have had. if we
had not been such loyal Republicans.
When an eleventh-hour deal within
the Republican party defeated Phelps
for mayor, again loyal Negro Repub-
licans had their trouble for their pay
This cannot go on indefinitely.
Either the party is trying to win or
it is not If colored citizens were not
a people apart. if they were privi-
legged to participate in deals which
meant big things, even if they
counted large in the choice of candi-
dates and of platforms, the big prizes
they won occasionally would repay
the long stretches of defeat. But
when at best we cast our votes for
other peoples selections, it is making
bad matters worse to see that we
vote in vain. 1t is too much to ask
that we help maintain an organiza-
ton, the only purpose of which is to
be an "also-ran." Much has been
said of harmony this year. The hope
of colored Republicans is that fac
tions may see the wisdom of yielding
something rather than losing all. And
for ourselves, who long have been a
muzzled OK which treads out the corn,
we ask that the candidates and plat
form in their Harmony represent
US as much as any other element of
equal voting strength.

Open Fights Better
than Conferences

1t is early to express preference
for mayor, yet it is timely to express
our entire accord with the practice
of candidates for that office announc-
ing themselves and seeking the sup
port of the mass of voters, rather
than relying upon conference to chose
them. The past has shown clearly
the difficulty of rallying voters to CON
ference nominees. The disinterested
voter is in the majority-he is abso-
lutely essential to success. Yet NOM
inees have been content to seek the
support of politicians and interests
VINO are expecting some substantial
proht from their support and the lit
tie fellow is asked to do the voting
without even having had chance to
assent to or dissent from the selec-
tions.
Because this condition is destruc-
tive OF the interest of the average
voter in the election, Dewey C. Bailey
seems to us to have performed a serv-
ice Tor the party in submitting his
candidacy to the whole people. Be-
cause he is willing for his record to
be inspected by all Denver before any
party is committed to his support be-
ing its nominee, other candidates will
be constrained to do likewise. How
ever we may feel after convention
about the nominee, we will have the
consolation that we had the right of
choice before convention and that is
powerful incentive to party unity.
Mr.. Bailey is a man of whom the
party has expected much in the past
and in whom the community has re.
posed much confidence. Whether he
is nominated or not we believe that
Republican success will in some
measure be due to the steps which
he is now taking.

SELF-ABASEMENT is NOT NECES-
SARY TO LEADERSHIP.

Out of our desire to define clearly
territory beyond which one may not
stray without sacrificing his self-re-
spect and forfeiting all hope of equit-
able treatment for his race, We COM
ment upon the action of a Negro from
southern Colorado, sponsor for an in
dustrial school projected in Pueblo,
who addressed the meeting of the
Republican editors of Colorado al
their biennial luncheon at the Brown
hotel on Monday. By some arrange
ment with the host of the lunche on.
the Pueblo Chieftain, he only and
Senator Beveridge, were accorded the
floor to speak as suited them.
1t was not enough for this man to
tell of his work, but of the time he
consumed he devoted a considerable
portion to commenting upon his un-
usual good fortune in thus eating
with white people The utter silli-
ness, the uselessness, the abject stu
pidity of such remark is brought
out the clearer by the fact that he
was there to solicit the good will of
the editors in founding school
which he represents would make bet
ter men and women of the children
of our race. Yet he falls in the dust
in fit of self-abasement, SO useless,
SO ridiculous. SO shameless, that we
wish to put ourselves on record as
saying that his school, however con-
stituted, is not worth the shame it
costs, even though it were possible
to found great educational institu-
ton on such basis.
Certainly he was not accustomed
to eating with white people. They
know it as well as he. But when
they count him enough a man to in
vite him to participate with them for
the sake of the qualities they think
he has, he shows that he lacks judg-
ment when he bastens to remind
them that he is an underling. 1t is
discourteous, as well as senseless. 1t
is proof in itself that his presence
was blunder. 1t is not clear to us
what purpose an industrial school for
Negroes in Colorado can serve when
the public school systems of the state
already trains the Negro child in in
dustrial branches as we'll as aca-
demic with far better equipment,
teachers and financial support than
any Negro school can have. Yet IL
we could accept the school as a real
need, we cannot accept such a leader
who goes out of his way to inject
the race question into organizations
and meetings from which 1t is alb
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-02-17

sent through respect for the useful
ness of such colored men as partici-
pate in them.
Neither can we withhold the lash
of criticism because this fellow
means well. His mistakes of judg-
ment are too costly. Leaders of the
Negro race must come back with their
shield or on it. Our grip on the pres
ent and our hope of the future are
too precarious. In business, in poll
tics, in education it is all the same.
Success and success alone is the test
of leadership. The dwaddling incom-
petent, the brainless orator, the
cringing sycophant, as well as the
vicious and ignorant, must be put
down. No consideration of pity
should blind us to the doom that
awaits us all if we do not drive into
utter oblivion the men who attempt
leadership without having the quail
ties of leadership.
