Speaking of the foul and malicious
whisperings and charges relative to the
ancestry of candidate Harding, which
were expected during the last days of
the recent national campaign to drive
votes from the Republican party and
into the Democratic camp, the Nation
magazine Of Nov. 10 has he following
to say:
tsMr. Harding 3 ancestry does not in
terest us in the least. It may be true,
as cynics say, that Harding's election
proves the truth Of the old American
adage that ssany boy born in America
may become President, - but whatever
the unpleasant truth Of politics, the
only test of presidential candidate
ought to be his fitness for the Office as
proved by his own record. The scanda-
Ions underhandedness Of the whisper
ing campaign OF the Democrats, and the
indignation Of the Republicans at the
suggestion that their candidate might
have Negro blood In his veins, only
prove the spuriousness Of all their pro-
testations Of belief in equal rights for
black and white. tits to the credit Of

York newspapers it spoke out in this
matter declaring that there was in the

should be bar to any job, Office, or
position for which the capacity of
man fits him. and it is moreover, a crime

OoLoRED VOTERS
DESERVE PRAISE

The tremendously large vote cast by
Negroes throughout the country and
especially in the northern and pivotal
states proves that the race is becoming
conscience of its strength; demonstrates
willingness to. cooperate and co-or-
dinate our forces for given aim. Race
solidarity is more to be desired during
the present crisis in our racial career
than political expediency. Without
solidarity there can be no recognition
nor regularity.
The Bystander wishes to thank the
pastors Of Iowa for the great aid rem
dered the cause in this city and state,
and the good women, recently enfran-
ehised, who marched to the polls like
veterans and cast their ballots for the
Republican party.
For once the race found itself and
having found itself, we should look for
ward to the future with optimism and
press onward. PROGRESS IS AL
WAYS IN FRONT, STAGNATION
AND REACTION AT THE REAR.
