Where Intimidation
Really Exists.

1
cent political campaign informa-
ton was given out from the De-
partment of Justice to the effect
that large numbers of colored
men had been transported from
the South into some Of the nor
thern states and that there was
suspicion that this was done un-
der the guidance of Republican
campaign managers who wanted
to colonize these colored voters
for illegal purposes ct the elec-
ton.
Any man who would stop to
think would Immediately see the
absurdity of such proceeding
The transportation cost alone
would amount to not less than
500 per voter, and it would cost
double that sum to keep the i'm
ported men in the voting pre-
cincts until election time. While
there has undoubtedly been pur-
chase of votes in both political
parties in the past, no political
campaign manager has ever paid
a price such as this in order to
add to the number of ballots in
the box on election day.
Notwithstanding the absurdity
of the story, the Depart. lent was
willing to let the impression go
out that Republican campaign
managers were directing the col
onization of men from the South.
The fact of the matter is, as
shown by census reports for a
number of years back, there has
been steady drift of colored la
borers from the South to the
North because of the higher wa
ges offered and a greater demand
for help. Moreover, the Depart
ment of Labor itself mas been en-
couraging this drift of colored Ia
borers northward. as its records
show.
The action of the Department
of Justice in thus endeavoring to
cast reflections upon Republican
campaign managers was no more
reprehensible than the unusual
action of the Department of La
Dor just before election in issuing
orders to it's agents in the South
that they should discontinue aid
| ing southern colored laborers to
find employment in the North.
Here was a plain effort of the De-
partment of Labor to utilize the
offices of the government for po-
litical advantage.
One of the duties Of the De-
partment of Labor is to aid in
sending laboring men where their
services are most needed. If, in
the regular and legitimate exer-
else of that function, one party
gains or loses an advantage, that
is not the concern of the Depart.
ment. It had been encouraging
colored laborers to move north.
ward before the,campaign began
and it should have continued its
efforts along the same line with
out any variation whatever while
the campaign was in progress.
Any deviation in that regarc
was nothing mere nor less thai
an effort to use the powers of tn,
government for PARTISAN politica
