CAYTON'S WEEKLY
HARDING HITS HARD

The following brief report of the "visit"
Of Senator Harding, Republican candidate
for the presidency, to Oklahoma City, has
been given to the press Of the country, all
Of which bear out the previous reports that
Presidential Candidate Harding stands pat
on the equal civil rights of the colored
citizens of this country: Men and women
by the thousands, from all parts Of Okla
homa, and from Texas as well, came with
enthusiasm into rally of red fire and
torchlights on Saturday night to greet Sena-
tor Warren G.. Harding, Republican candi-
date for president. This is Democratic
state, city and community, without single
Republican newspaper, yet Senator Harding
received the most enthusiastic greeting OF
any given on the western trip which he has
just concluded.
And here also he ran up against what
was intended as a troublesome and embar-
RAISING question: question submitted by
the Daily misunderstanding to the dan
gerous race problem. But with no hesita-
tion the Republican candidate met the situ-
alton and gave his answer fairly and
squarely The Oklahoma asked:
"Do you or do you not favor race segre-
cation? Do you or do you not favor sep
arate cars for the white and black races;
separate schools, restaurants, amusement
places, etc?''
There was but one reason for the asking
of this question: and that was to create an
embarrassing situation for the candidate; it
was the evident idea that an evasion would
displease the colored Republicans while a
direct, affirmative would ALLEVIATE possible
Democratic supporters and Southern white
Republicans Senator Harding met the is
sue without equivocation. He replied:
'T have not come from older Ohio to tell
you how to solve your peculiar problems
of the South. Somebody asked what I
would do about the racial question. I
cannot come and answer that for you. That
is too serious problem for some Of us to
solve who do not know it as you do in your
daily lives
"But I would not be fitted to be Presi-
dent of the United States if I did not tell
you in the South precisely the same thing
would say in the North. I want you to
know that believe in equality before the
law That is one Of the guarantees Of the
American Constitution. You cannot give
one right to a white man and deny the
same right to a black man; but while I
stand for that particular principle, want
you in Oklahoma to know that that does
not mean, and I do not ever intend that
it mean, that the white man and the black
man must be made to experience the enjoy
pany"

Drunken automobile drivers are largely
responsible for the many automobile fatalities
that have been recently reported. AS we
have previously said, it should be peni-
tentiary offense for any one to drive an
automobile while under the influence of
strong drink.
'Move on has been sung to the 'men
about town. in Tacoma and they themselves
are curious to know where to, as the same
song has been sung to them everywhere
else. Well, let us suggest to you an acre or
more ground and there go to work yourself
and then it will work for YOU
The Editor of Caytons Weekly greatly
enjoys being a Republican, but something
always bobs up sereney to take all the joy
out of life and so comes along Jay Thomas
not only claiming to be a Republican, but
one Of it's most active stump advocates. Tt
is simply awful.
Bob Bridges has always been Democrat,
and he is still Democrat at heart, but is
running on the Farmer-Labor party because
that party seems to him to be stronger in
numbers at this time than the Democratic
party. He is still good Democrat which
means that he is a mighty poor citizen.
In the state of Ohio the colored vote was
responsible for the Republican nomination of
Davis for governor, Willis for United States
senator and many other local party leaders.
In the state six cOlored men have been NOM
mated on the Republican ticket for the legis-
lature. And the situation appears to be, the
colored vote holds the complete balance of
power.
There may not be quite as much noise
made in the present presidential campaign
as in similar campaigns in the past, but
there seems to be double the determination
on the part of the patriotic citizen to vote
and to vote the Republican ticket straight
than ever before, which means that the State
of Washington will give Harding two to one
over Jimmie Cox
Since the press took fall out Of the Hon.
Franklin d. Roosevelt he seems to have
gone into his hole and pulled it in after
him. However, he may have taken refuge
in one Of the lavatories for 'white men
only' in Washington City to keep out of
reach of the colored press, which was dead
after him. Frank is a Roosevelt alright, but
"believe me' he is not Theodore Roosevelt.
While the colored vote in the late pri-
mary election of the state of Washington
did not go in a mass for any one guberna-
torial candidate, yet they did support either
Hart or Hartley and Hart lead with Hart
ley close second thus demonstrating the
influence Of the colored voter in this state
Governor Hart has already shown marked
appreciation for the voting consideration he
received at the hands of the cOlored voters
and we have our suspicious that there is
more to follow
Because forsooth the colored voters of the
Middle West demand their civil rights, W.
W. Jermain, Washington City newspaper
correspondent, construes it into race prob
lem up North all Of which can be inter-
preted that Jermain is himself badly tine
tured with negrophobia and the wise is
father to the thought Whether North,
South, East or West by giving the colored
man equal justice the same as any other citi-
zen of this country will work no hardship on

There seems to be good deal of monkey
ing with the booze question by both the state
and federal courts in and about Seattle,
which gives us the sneaking impression that
there is something dead up the creek.
We rather regret that, so far as the editor
of Cayton's Weekly is concerned the Rev.
d. A. Graham has not surveyed any more
Montana towns in the interest of the A. NJ
b. Church, or if he has he is pocketing his
reports.
Judging from the press reports the men,
bers OF the Democratic party have as will
fully slaughtered innocent Haytiian colored
citizens as they have the colored citizens
OF our own Sunny South. Damn a Demo-
crat anyhow.
For the first time in the history of Sc
attic colored woman is to preside over a
Republican mass meeting composed of white
and colored citizens and to whom eminent
white and colored orators will speak on the
issues Of the day.
Not even the rawhides and bloodbones
"down south'' Democrat could intimidate
Presidential Candidate Harding into quail
tying his up North' allegations as to the
legal rights Of the colored man of this coun-
try. Harding simply hit them hard
Ii there be one good Democrat in the
state OF Washington it is Jesse F. Murphy
who is running for state insurance commits
sioner on the Democratic ticket, and while
ne probably hasn't a chance of election yet
he will get quite few Republican votes.
We grant you, for the sake of argument
that there are persons nominated on the
Republican ticket not of the stripe that
many, even a majority of us would have.
but at that they are superior to their Demo-
cratic opponents at least from party stand
point.
