Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-04-30
The G. y. P. Dumping the Colored
Brother.

What the democratic party has
long been doing by other processes,
the republican party now proposes
through its national convention. 1t
proposes to wipe out the the poten-
TALLY of the southern negro in the
affairs of the party.
The plan submitted by a sub
committee of the national commit
tee for adoption by the conventions
of the various states proposes to cut
the percentage of southern and ter
ritorial representation in national
conventions from 35 to 16 per cent
of the total voting strength of such
conventions.
Of course this is done by appor-
tioning strength in convention ac-
cOrding to the republican strength
Of the various states, and in that
respectsIs nominally fair, but the re-
suit is none the less to take away
from the southern states, where the
negroes are the chief element of re-
pubIicanism, the strength they
have always been able to maintain
ia the national conventions of the
party. This proposal arises from
the part played by the negro dele
gates from the south in the last
national convention at Chicago.
While there has always been
since the war a pronounced section
alism in our politics, this action
seems well calculated to intensity
it. Should the democratic party
adopt a similar policy, the inuvita-
bic result would be to stamp the
republican party as northern, and
the democratic party as a southern
organization, each representing the
section in which its largest anC
most certain strength lies.
However, such a condition coulC
not arise from the returns of thu
last election, for in it the republi
cans as such only carried two states
Vermont and Utah, six others being
carried by the progressive part!
and AZ by the democrats.
1t is probably right that the state,
that provide the voting strength in
elections should have right of wa!
in the regulation and conduct o
: party affairs, but that argument i
, not going to hide the fact that thi
t is a movement to limit the potent
= atty of the southern negro in re
publican affairs. st. Joseph Oh

BY constant and liberal use of the
advertising columns of the local
press, says the Brookfield Argus,
the merchants encourage the editors
to greater effort in providing more
and better local reading matter, and
in this way the advertising worth
of the paper is materially increas-
ed, as the arrival of a paper worth
while is always awaited in the
homes of your consumers.
