Anderson Forcing the Race Issue

Sinia during many future campaigns.
Having cast tho negro from their midst
and promised to eschew him as political ma
terial to the relief of the people of Yir-
ginia who long have been tired Of the racial
bugaboo. Colonel Anderson. by the very
vehemencc with which he protests his
partys 100 per cent whitencss. even to an
insistcnce on daily joint debates on that
issue with Mr. Trinkle, is dragging II back

Presidential Advice and Party Practice

Presidential Advice and Party Practice
IF PRESIDENT HARDlNG'S birmingham
i address, in so far rs it bears upon the race
question, is an expression of tho best thought
of his party-and ii must be so accepted since
he is its titular head--then tho course which
the Virginia wing of Repubicanism mas
elected to pursue is in direct variance with
what the party leaders, voiced by Mr.. Hard
ing, pronounce best for the preservation
of the public interests. Yet who cun doubt
that the carefully laid plans OF the Virginia
Republicans In Colonel Anderson's CAM
pnign for the governorship SO far as they
relate to treatment of the negro, had the
sanction. even if they were not formulated
by the pary's national organizations IL
the latter premise be true, and the virginia
campaign is an expression OF tho party's de-
termination in its efforts TO smash tho Solid
South, either tho President is in conflict
with and powerless over his purity ma
chinery or his advice to the South is sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbas.
Mr.. Harding said yesterday: Let the
South understand the menace which lies in
forcing upon the black race an attitude OF
political solidarity. Just rs DO not
want the South 10 he politically entirely of
one party just as believe it il bad for the
South and for the rest of the country as
we'll, so do not want the colored people
to be entirely Of one party
That is we'll said, and II is sound political.
economic and social doctrine But presi-
Dental theory here clashes with Republican
practice In Virginia the Republicans have
cast the negro, bag and baggage, from their
ranks. He has been told that il Is now Il
white mans party and he has no place in
tho organization whici since his enfran-
chisemcni has been his sole political refuge.
Virginia Republicans are white, they tell
him, and black Republicans need apply.
Thus by their reputation OF the black voter
the Republicans force the formation Of a
solid black party which conceivably some
time might hold tho balance of power ut
the polls an evil which tho President fore
fees and whose results cannot he forctold
except by those who remember the days of
Reconstruction. This is the work OF the
Republicans in Virginia. and if Il ia sue
Iesslul even in measure they may be eX
rected To extend il 10 other Southern States.
solid black party sprnging up in every
new menace is created
So much for the practical political work
ings Of Republican politics in the South Ii
President Harding is sincere, and sincerity
rings in his address, the situation as il
threatens 10 develop must distress him to
the point Of blocking his party's plans for
Conquering the South Will he have the
courage TO attempt it? If he has not, then
his la est admOnitions will rise no higher
Than the endless stream OF advice which the
North has poured ont upon us for a half
century
