Rcscuing tho Negro Delegate

DITilNG the plight OF the negro delegates
TO the Republican National Convention,
named by the unreconstructed Republican
leaders of the South, Senator Borah pro-
poses that the United States Senate police
the convention in order to save the dele
gates of the black-and-tan variety from
those who would corrupt them, buy their
votes and deliver them like so many cattle
for this or that candidate. In proposing
this policy the Idaho Senator tells the SEN
ate and the country that conditions within
the Republican party OF the South are
worse than he has ever known them, and
that unless heroic measures are taken the
black delegates will be degraded to a
shameful and disgraceful extent.
The Senator may not have been as Sc
rious about this as his words appear in
print, but the fact remains nevertheless that
the record Of Republican dealings with
negro delegates from Southern States is so
scandalous as to bring lasting discredit
upon the party responsible for it. It is
notorious fact that for two generations the
negroes who hold seats in Republican con-
Ventions have been bought and sold like
SO much merchandise, and it has been the
fixed program OF white Republican leaders
in many Southern States to name only me
gotiable" negroes They picked them with
the deliberate purpose of trading with them,
II tii't CoHtcst WAS SuCn as TO mako IL worth
while.
Tho really serious part of the Borah
statement is his assertion that conditions
are worse in the South today than they
nave ever been. This is interesting infor-
nation. If the practices OF Southern Re-
puhlcans are such as to shock this Sena-
tor and other national leaders OF the party
then they are TO be deplored, not only by
the candidates against whom the negro dele
gates may be used, but by the country at
large.
It would seem that the time has come
when the Republican party in the nation
should demand housekeeping on the part
OF the party in the South This might he
done without doing violence to the right
OF Southern Republicans to have a proper
voice in party affairs. The national COM
mittee might serve notice upon Southerners
that no negro delegates would be seated
| This would give offense to many Northern
negroes perhaps, but the risk involved
would not be as great it seems.

DUMMY HARRINGTON TO ENTER PROFESSIONAL BOXING SOON

 This Year-Pr0spects

Mormon Dummy Harrington, local welterweight boxer, may enter the ranks of professionalism before an other month has gone it's course. Dum- my, up to now, has fought in only strictly amateur bouts and he will continue to do so for at least month longer.
 Harrington became an active boxer for the Athletic Club about year ago. Since that time he has fought many battles and has won them all. His amateur record is second to none.
 Dummy packs a mean right swing that when it lands, in nine cases out ot ten sends his opponent to the floor lis ability to hit, and hit hard, has won for Harrington the respect of all southern welters.
 Harrington won the 145-pound title In the southern championship boxing meet held here in the early spring. He defeated Red Johnson of New Orleans In the finals for the title, putting the Crescent City battler to sleep with a right cross to the jaw.
 Local fans will have the onnortunitv to see Harrington in action once or twice more before he goes to Atlanta to enter the professional ranks. Of course, his fighting in Alabama must De in amateur rings and after he en- ters professionalism he will be unable to appear in a ring in this state again unless boxing bill is passed by the state legislature.
