The Politics Of The Day
NEGRO PRESS COMMENT

The Democratic party closed anc
locked the door of hope against thS
Negro seven years ago and threw the
key away, but the other day at Mar
ion, Senator Harding, in true Ameri-
can fashion, kicked the hinges off Of
the dad-bumed thing. = Louisville
(Ky.) News.
At Marion. Ohio, July 22nd, War
ren G.. Harding, not only accepted the
Republican nomination for President
but he. took up the challenge OF the
law despisers by declaring that "the
federal government should stamp out
lynching" In these degenerate days
OF Democratic duplicity this is a new
tone, but it has the ring of clear
bell.-Chicago Defender
Senator Harding promises to give
the Negroes the same consideration
accorded to all other groups OF citi-
gems. This is all the Negro people
can ask; but this is exactly what the
present administration does not give
and its Democratic successor cannot
b" expected to give it, for Cox stands
right where his predecessors have
stood, and must be controlled by his
party associates, who believe as a
principle in discrimination and
abridgment of the rights of the black
man.-Atlanta Independent.
Democratic papers are advertising
tor three-word slogan for their party
IN the campaign. All, we have it for
them: Democracy! Discrimination
acknowledgements We are itching
to add, "Discredited;' but they want
only three.-Kansas City (Mo.) Sun.
Senator Harding did not whip the
devil around the stump in his Mar
ion speech; he caught the imp of law
lessness by the throat and cheerfully
promised him to choke him to death
with federal power A man with
Christian courage, this Harding
Washington Eagle.
We are glad to note that Senator
Harding came out boldly on the
Negro question. He is not man to
mince words-The Union (Cincin-
natl. Ohio.
On the point of law enforcement the
Republican candidate said: If | am
elected | mean to be a constitutional
president, and it is impossible to ig-
more the constitution, unthinkable to
evade the law, when our every COM
initial is to orderly government
hose indications as to policies that
Senator Harding may be expected to
pursue should secure him the support
OF all thinking citizens.-New York
Age.
Senator Warren g. Harding. Re
publican nominee, committed himself
on the Negro question without evas-
iveness. He said among other things
that he was in favor of federal inter
vention against lynchngs and that
he believed the Negro should be given
full American privileges We COM
mend the Senator for his broad views.

1t is real pleasure to chronicle
that Senator Harding is not hard
boiledly committed against mandates,
per sec. He feels no overweaning en-
thusiasm concerning mandate over
the Turks in Armenia, while he is
restless for a mandate over the lynch
crs in America. Prone to wonder il
he isn't about right in deciding that a
mandate at home is better to be
chosen than a mandate abroad-Chi-
