Attorney Lightfoot Congratu latcs
Virginians.
Hon. John Mitchell, Jr.,
81 n. Fourth Street,
Richmond, Va.

Dear Mr.. Mittheil.-As a former Vir-
ginian, l wish to extend my hearty con-
gratu!ations for the wonderful show
ing you and your associates made last
Tuesday as the STANDARD bearers" OF
the Regular Republican Party. And,
may I not say, that this is not due so
much to the number of votes your tick
ct received, as it is the principle which
caused the Negro Republicans to enter
their ticket In protest to the treatment
Of the lilly whites" Of the party OF
your State.
The Negroes of the State OF Virgin
III have pointed the way and they
should not be left alone to shoulder the
burden of breaking down "Lily-whit-
ism" for it is the duty Of the Negro Re-
publicanS Of the North to take upon
themselves their share of the burden
and through their efforts in party coun
ellis in the north, assist you in tho
work there. They must come to reali e
If "Li!y-whitism" can flourish in Virg
mia it Will soon spread to New Jersey
and other northern points.
Again congratulating you, am sir,
Yours very truly,
JAMES A. LIGHTFOOT.

VIRGINIA LILY-WlIITES ARE
RIJBUKED.

The result of the State election in
Virginia may be accepted as decided
reverse for the policy OF the elimin;.
ton OF the Negro from the Republican
party, at least OH the plan which was
tried out by Representative c. Bascom
Slemp and his followers. II these so.
called Republicans were really bent on
following out President Harding's poll
cy in trying to bUild up new Rcpubli
can party in the South they evidently
went too far ignoring and cutting
loose from the Negro wing of the par
ty.
Not only did these "Lily-whites"
ALLEVIATE tile large proportion of Negro
voters, who supported the other Repub
lican ticket, headed by John Mitchell,
Jr., but they failed to hold many of
the WIKI tc Republicans who resented
the anti-Republican policy adopted.
The result was that the straight Demo
cratic ticket was elected by plurality
OF $4,000 The Mitchell ticket is report
ed have polled 10000 votes which WAS
sufficient to register the moral protest
intended against the course pursued by
the "Li)y-whites.
II the white Republicans Of Virginia
expect to reorganiZc the party with
any prospect OF success, they must
proceed on different lines from those
followed in their disastrous campaign
They should study the policy outlined
by MT. Harding more closely and lay
out their plans on broader lines. They
cannot win by merely echoing and imi-
Eating the old Democratic nolicv IF trv
ing to exclude the Negro from partici-
patton in politics on an equal basis.
Political and economic equality was
at the base OF the Presidents plan for
the treatment Of the Negro in the
South. No party can build up ~ lasting
success on any other basis. If this
rebuke at the polls is taken in the prop
er spirit, 1t may point the way for tho
the rehabilitation Of Republicans in
Virginia as we'll as in other Southern
States.
