(From the Columbia, S. G., state)

(From the Columbia, S. c., State)
December "a, 1918.
IN 1876, when the Democrats re-
deemed the state from misrule, they
appealed to the Negroes to join their
party, and minority of Negroes,
more numerous perhaps than is gen.
orally supposed, wore the red shirt
Many of them did valuable service in
behalf of the respectable government.
During the ten years following that
time, until the primary election took
the place of the convention system
in all but two or three of the counties,
the Democratic Negroes were given
political recognition. From Barnwell,
Colleton, Orangeburg and Charleston
Negro Democrats were elected to the
Legislature and in number of coun-
ties other Negroes were elected to
such offices as coroner and county
commissioner.
With the extension of the primary
system racial line came to be drawn
in the Democratic organization and it
was made very nearly impossible for
Negro to participate in it. An ex-
ception in the party law provided that
Negroes who voted for General Hamp-
tin in 1876 and who continued to vote
the Democratic ticket in succeeding
years be allowed to vote in the pri-
maries, but the rule applying to those
cases were in form so rigid that
they reduced the Negro Democratic
vote to a negligible quantity.
The time has come when under
carefully framed restrictions Negroes
qualified under the law to vote in.

vote the Democratic ticket should be
invited to enroll in the Democratic
precinct clubs and to participate in.
the primaries along with the white.
men. 1t is neither just nor expedient
that a Negro citizen OF South CarolinA
Phoenix tribune., 1919-01-18

be denied the privilege of membership
in the Democratic party In their ad-
mission would be no substantial dan
ger to the party. By it danger would
be removed. The white males of vot-
ing age are now more numerous In
South Carolina than are the Negro
males. The menace of NEGRO domi-
nation" long ago vanished. Were all
the Negroes qualified by literacy or
property holding, to be registered as
voters, the white voters would remain
in the majority of three to one.
In the state are thousands of Ne
gro men of good character and with
degree of education. They are the
leaders of their race. During the war
now drawing to an end they have eX-
hibited not only patriotic spirit but
sincere desire to cooperate with the
white people in the various war ac-
tivities and to accept their leadership.
Many of them, we are convinced, are
eager to work with their white friends
in political affairs and would do so
if they could have the opportunity.
Whatever danger might attend their
admission would be confined for the
most part to municipal elections in
cities, wher the Negro vote is con-
siderable, but in no important town Of
the state are the Negroes qualified to
vote relatively numerous.
Not all of the Negroes would join
the Democratic party Doubtless
some of the better of them as well as
most Of the undesirables would adhere
to the Republican organization, bu;
under existing conditions they are
driven to be Republicans and, feeling
that they are political outcasts, the
good among them become the victims
of conscienceless and depraved white
and black leaders. fE

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
NEGRO LABOR UNIONS

Editor The Tribune.
Your very valuable article on Negro
Labor Unions am sure is very timely.
1t is time. yes high time. that all Ne
gro trades should organize for their
own protection. see that some OF
the Arizoan laws are aginst us (train
porters), as much as the school laws
in that state are against the race.
The Full Crew law, for instance, on
the railroads. which we porters fought
some years ago and which law
worked against the colored man to
bar him from the train service. This
law has been declared unconstitu-
tional, both in California and Arizona,
by the U. S. Supreme Court. However,
/ am a great sticker for the word
of God and firmly believe that in HIS
good time, the Master of the Uni
verse will bring US into our own.
am not discouraged, and am bound to
fight on until victory is achieved on
our side. l am in this game to win
and I'll fight to the last ditch and
then go over that for more.

After several days of quiet in Ohio
young Washington, against the advice
of friends, made his way back to Tus-
kegee and his own home, but no
sooner had he arrived than he was
waited upon by friendly whites, who
warned him of the conspiracy and
plots to wreak vengeance upon him
for his stand against the Sheffield
outrage. His friends acknowledged
their pain at the necessity imposed
upon them by the mob and its lack of
regard for justice and right, but felt
that they would be powerless to pro-
tect young Booker, and possibly the
institution, if he remained there.
Acting upon the spirit of sacrifice
of self, and his duty to the great work
of his father, young Washington, un-
der cover of darkness, again made his
way to a distant point and entrained
for St. Louis, where he now is with
his family of wife and two children.
Thus the criminal minded minority
in Alabama again blots the fair name
of the state and the rest of the JUS
tice loving people there, in spite of
the Incompatible work OF the father
of young Washington. There is no
denying the fact that the late Booker
T. Washington gave international rep
utation to Alabama and placed Tus-
kegee in the vocabulary of the world
as well as proved himself a con-
structive educational reformer.
Young Booker has been interviewed
and is found undaunted in this con-
crete illustration of race hate in the
south. He is a very competent young
man and has the reputation of carry
ing through to successful conclusion
anything which he undertakes.
