ANDERSON FORCING THO RACE
ISSUE.

The race issue, having ceased to be
an issue, was to have no place In tho
present gubcrnatorial campaign. The
Republicans themselves programmed
it that way. They proclaimed them
selves u white, party and at Norfolk
wrote for themselves a platform that
purportcd to be white, although 1t pro
vldcd for the removal Of voting re.
Strictions which, should it come to
pass, would make race tho one great
issue in Virginia during many future
campaigns.
Having cast the Negro from their
midst and promised to eschew him rs
political material, to the relief Of the
people Of Virginia who long have been
bird OF the racial bugaboo, Colonel
Anderson, by IT, very vehemence with
which he protests his party's 100 per
cent Wilderness, even to an insistenCe
on daily joint debates on that issue
with Mr.. Trinkle Is dragging it back
into the political forum, to the overshad
owing Of issues that are living. Not
content with his protestations Of G.
l o. p. Wilderness, he would emphasl size
his partys decree Of divorce from the
Negro by going into the courts aud
4 by mandamus ousting thirty-two Nc
gro Republicans who hold positions in
this State rs judges of elections.
BY the extltme to which his course
! is leading him it would seem that the
aC0lonol doth protest too much. Tho
4 Democrats are not concerned over
Negro election judges whose pr6Bence
: at the pollh is so offensive to the new
lily whitewashed Republicans. Tho Qucs
! tion of representation at tho voting
3places would seem an issue to DO de-
! termined between the white and the
black Republican parties, ea'h of
which has set itself UP as the only
asimon-pure G. O. p. article in Virgin
: Ia. When this family battle for suprem
! acy has been decided, the matter Of
who shall represent the victorious par
aty faction at the polls will be easy OF
settlement. Pending that dtEision 1t
i seems rather OVERRIDING 1t for the
! whit branclR Of the Republican family
! Ito draw the knife so viciously on the
bother members Of it's political menaGe
awho In former years have been its a.
most sole means of support.
"A This latest gesture OF the Colonel
with his threat Of court action to rid
with his threat Of court action to rid
43llis party Of that undesired element
(which it has been unable to throw out
&bodFly, will fool no one. 1t will not

I might the party has become irrevocab
Bly,, militantjy and pcrpetuaRy white,

fthe Negro is not an experiment born
of political eXigency. 1t will not be
