NEW WAY TO CATCH
MOTOR RUM RUNNERS

PORTLAND, Maine, Dec. Pr
A large sign reading: Federal
Agents-Stop!" and further down
the road a pavement Of heavy
plants studded with spikes, Is a
device which Herbert r. Hovey,
chief field deputy of Names pro-
hibition enforcement agents has
prepared for catching bootleggers
running rum by motor.
Hovey contends that this de-
vice will eliminate unnecessary
gunplay. According to his theory,
a respectable citizen will obey the
mandate and his car will be IN
injured, whereas bootlegger will
speed up and be caught on the
spikes where federal agents will
grab him.

THEORY DEMOCRATIC
RULE IN SOUTH RACE
MATTER, is EXPLODED
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON Nov. 18.-Republi-
can leaders have for many years ad-
vanced the theory that the race ques-
ton was almost entirely responsible
for Democratic control Of the states
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
After the political experiment atempt-
ed in the Virginia elections of last
week those in Washington who arr
high in the councils of the G.. o. p.
are about willing to concede that the
theory in question is a fallaCy.
When the gubernatorial campaign
in Virginia was launched some few
months ago the white Republicans de-
cidd to divorce themselves from the
colored element of the party. 1t was
decided by the white faction of the
party to make a direct appeal on busi-
ness issues during the campaign, act
ing on the belief that Virginia was at
heart Republican on those issues and
that such an appeal, properly couched,
would win.
At the outset of the campaign the
white Republicans of Virginia held a
convention composed exclusively of
white people, thus advertising their
separation from the colored element
of the party, and they nominated
ticket composed entirely Of white men,
Throughout the campaign the Repub-
lican lilly whites" as they were
known. studiously avoided the discus
sion of political policies. Business
policies were stressed and the elector-
ate was promised a genuine business
administration of state affairs in the
event of a white Republican victory.
Hold Colored Convention.
Immediately following the nomina-
ton of a white Republican ticket the
colored Republicans of Virginia held
q convention and organized what was
referred TO as a lilly black" Repub-
lean party. placing a ticket in the
field. Thus the political divorce be
tween the white and colored Repub-
licans became absolute. Those Demo
cratic voters who were said TO favor
the Republican party but refused to
support it because of race prejudice at
last had their opportunity to desert
the Democratic camp. The ticket
which the white Republicans offered
was a good one, headed by a candi-
date for governor who is a man of
recognized attainments. The result?
record Democratic majority.
The colored Republicans supported
their own ticket or did not vote, while
those Democrats supposed to be wait
ing an inducement and opportunity to
change sides voted the Democratic
ticket, as usual.
II is generally conceded that Presi-
dent Harding's speech at Birmingham
had nothing to do with the result OF
the elections in Virginia, coming as
it did in the thick of the Old Dominion
campaign and pitchen in the key OF
friendship for the colored citizens.
Those who were in close touch with
the Virginia campaign almost unanim
ously agree that that state would have
gone Democratic if the president had
never left Washington, or opened his
mouth on the subject of political
equality for colored citizens.
