REPUBLICANS TO
|. STAGE BIG FIGHT
AGAINST NEGROES
Quinn, Farley, True and Others
Determined Upon Party
Showdown at State Conven-
ton.
BY ARTHUR J. FORBES.

Republicans of Shelby county are
preparing to stage a political fight in
their state convention in April that
promises to make the famous contest
.of a few years ago, when Newell San,
ders had his coat torn from his back
and lost his gold watch to boot-look
like sideshow.
Those Shelby Republicans who are
led by Chas. B. Quinn, Harry o. True,
John W. Farley. w. II. Barker. John
Q. Eaton and others who have been
prominent in Republican state politics
for years. are going to the CHATTANOOGA
convention on April IA, with the avowed
purpose OF making a straight fight for
making the Republican party in Ten
nc.see white mans party.
Thev are tired of training with the
negroes they say. They realize that so
long as the negro element is I permitted
TO figure in the party councils, they
cannot hope to attract many voters to
the Republican cause unless they are
mere office seekers.
I have done as much for the negroes
OF Memphis and the state as any man"
said Mr.. Quinn Friday. But when it
comes to point where a negro can
come to me and make demands for
party recognition in the way of appoint
.ment to important committees, or as a
delegate from this state to national
convention, I'm through"
Mr.. Quinn referred to occurrences two
years ago, when he was thinking of
making the race for mayor of Memphis,
land when it is said Bob Church made
such demands that Quinn, although a
good church member, told him emphati-
.cally either what he could do or where
he could go.
Other Republicans of Memphis, who
are men of standing in the community
have long felt the same way Many Of
them have refused to have anything to
do with local or state politics on that
account, merely voting for Republican
presidential electors every four years.
