Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1920-08-14

Harding and Coolidge could not have been
chosen by the Republican party to advise
and guide the American Nation for the next
four years.
We believe that the country should see to
it that they are elected. Both men are
highly experienced Americans in the intricate
art of government. They have all the COM
petence necessary for the big job, and we
know it to be fact that they also have the
full confidence Of all real Americans. The
country is in dire need of just such men as
Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge
in the White House at this time-The Free
man.
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1920-08-14
PLAIN TALK

In his speech accepting formally the Re-
publican nomination for the Presidency, Sen
ator Harding, on July 22nd last, had the fol-
lowing to say with reference to the problem
most particularly interesting and all import
ant to our people:
81 believe the Federal Government should
stamp out lynching and remove that stain
from the fair name Of America
''I believe he Negro citizens Of America
should be guaranteed the enjoyment OF all
their rights, that they have earned the full
measure of citizenship bestowed, that their
sacrifices in blood on the battlefelds OF the
Republic have entitled them to all OF free
dom and opportunity, all Of sympathy and
aid that the American spirit Of fairness and
Justice demands"
Every word of which, to say the least, IS
indisputably true and most timely. When we
compare the above with the following express
sion of Senator Harding's running mate,
Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts,, on the
same subject. it will readily be seen to what
extent the two g. O. P. nominees are III
harmony on this most significant question:
most encouraging sign.
"There is especially due to the colored
race a more general recognition Of their con-
stitutional rights Surely they hold the
double title of citizenship by conquest to be
relieved from all imposition, to be defended
from lynching, and to be freely granted
equal opportunity.
"Eoual suffrage, for which I have always
voted, is coming The party stands pledged
to use it's endeavors to have ratification. Ihe
foreign relations Of our country ought not TO
be partisan, but American"
The '4sliefs of Senator Harding and con-
victions of Governor Coolidge in this partlcu-
lar connection, where our people are con-
corned represent precisely the view OF every
right thinking, fair mindd and wel-meanlng
American citizen. We, too. like Governor
Coolidge. believe that "equal suffrage, Tor
which the Governor admits he has always
stood is coming. 1t is bound to come. That
this is 50. it will be foolish to deny-since
there are more than a sufficiently of unmis-
takab]e indications in the signs Of the times
to convince the most doubtful that there IS
no uncertainty in regard to the TACT
That colored people nevertheless have not
long been accorded and guaranteed the en-
iovment of all their rights. IN view OF the
manv costly and constitutional proofs ad-
vanced for the purpose OF bringing such
thing about is really one OF the numerous
and strange things not properly understood
bv us. That it is the fixed intention OF the
Republican presidential nominees to adjust
this lone outstanding wrong, is very evident
from their expressed and harmonlzed sentl-
ment thereon If elected, we firmly believe
that Senator Harding is honest and big
hearted enough to see to it that the Negro
citizens'' receive 'all of sympathy and aid
that the American spirit Of fairness and
Justice demands A better couple than

CUMMINGS KEYNOTE CALL

Chairman Cummings call to the
militant Democracy of the country
will meet with ready response from
every red-blooded Democrat. There
was no pussy-footing, evading or
double meaning phrases, but clear
cut, positive declaration upon every
public question before the people to-
day for settlement and ringing defy
to Lodges keynote address, of a
personal fight upon President Wilson
and all that his administration has
accomplished and stands for.
He championed the League of Ma
tions covenant as the Monroe Doc
trine of the World" and of the peace
treaty's defeat by the Senate he said:
mo blacker crimes against civiliza-
ton have ever soiled the pages of our
history" He characterized the Re-
publican platform as ''reactionary and
provincial" Filled with premeditat-
ed ISLANDERS and vague promises, it will
be searched in vain for one construc-
tive suggestion for the reformation OF
the conditions which it critics and
deplores." THE oppressed peoples of
the earth will look to it in vain. 1t
contains no message of hope for Ire
land; no word of mercy for Armenia;
and it conceals a sword for Mexico"
He declared that the peace time
record of the Democratic party from
March, 1913, to the outbreak of the
world war has to its credit more ef-
fective, constructive and remedial
legislation than the Republican party
had placed. upon the statute books m

In speaking Of the League OF Ma
tons, he said: "What nations stand

outside? Revolutionary Mexico, Boil
lshevist Russia, unspeakable Turkey
and the United States"
Let the true purpose of our party
be clearly understood" he said in
concluding his address. I'VE stand
squarely for the same ideals of peace
as those for which the war was
fought. We support without finch
ing the only feasible plan for peace
and justice. We will not submit to
the reputation of the peace treaty or
to any process by which it is whitfield
down to the vanishing point. We de-
cline to compromise our principles or
pawn our immortal souls for selfish
purposes. We do not turn our backs
upon the history OF the last three
years. We seek no avenue OF re-
treat. We insist that the forward
course is the only righteous course.
I'VE seek to reestablish the fruits
OF victory, to reinstate the good faith
of our country and to restore it to its
rightful place among the nations of
the earth. Our cause constitutes
summons to duty. The heart of
America stirs again. The ancient
faith revives. The immortal part of
man speaks for us. The services of
the past, the sacrifices of war, the
hope of the future, constitute a spir-
itual force gathering about our ban
ners. We shall release again the
checked forces of civilization and
America shall take up once more the
leadership Of the world"
