AGAINST the Confirmation of a Negro

IN the Senate Of the United States
on Wednesday there was precipitat-
ed lively discussion over the NOM
ination of Adam E. Patterson, ne
gro Of Oklahoma, to the office OF
Register of the Treasury.
It is of record that this office has
been held by a negro since the days
Of Grover Cleveland, but it is moi
explained why this office should be
assigned to a negro, when men OF
the Caucasian race are we'll quail
fled and should be given the prefer
ence, especially when the nomina-
tion is subject to the control of a
Democratic administration.
It is noted that Senator Vardanan
of Mississippi is opposing vigorously
this nomination for which he should
be commended, while Senators Gore
and Owen of Oklahoma and Hoke
Smith of Georgia are urging favor
able consideration.
It is not surprising that the SEN
ators from Oklahoma should urge
the recognition of this negro. but
Senator Hoke Smiths alignment in
this contest is simply amazing.
Is it not time that the negro
should be eliminated from official
positions Of honor and responsible
ity. especially, when white women
and men hold subordinate positions
as is evidence in some Of the de-
