Watson Deplores Speech
President Harding's address in
Birmingham on the race question was
described as an unfortunate and mis-
chievous utterance" by Senator Har-
rison of Mississippi, one of the Demo
cratic leaders of the senate, in a for
NAL statement issued today.
Senator Watson, Democrat, Georgia
also issued statement in which he
! declared it was "a great pity that a
northern man, holding the highest Of
| flee on earth, should go down into the
south and plant there fatal germs in
| the minds of the black race"
THE presidents speech was unfor-
! tunate,' said Senator Harrison, but
! to have made 1t in the heart of the
1 south, where. in some states, the ne
&ro population predominates, was I'M
! fortunate in the extreme.
''Of course, every rational being de-
| sires to see the negro protected in his
life, liberty and property. | believe
f, in giving him every right under the
law to which he is entitled. but to en-
courage the negro who in some states
as in my own, exceeds the white pop
ulation, to strive through every politi-
cal avenue to be placed upon equality
! with the whites, is blow at the white
civilization Of this country that will
take years to combat"
1T is an unfortunate thing when
the president accepts an invitation &c
speak in such southern states as
Georgia and Alabama and then finds
it necessary to lecture their people
about the treatment of the negro,
Senator Watson said. GAS the presi
dent is a native of Ohio. he cannot pos
sibly understand our situation in the
south, where the population is almos
equally white and black.
There is no such thing as economic
discrimination against the blacks il
the south. They get equal treatment
from our merchants and our bankers
They have made no complaint of IA
cial discrimination in economic mat
tiers.
Negro Supreme Court?
1T is therefore, a great pity that {
northern man holding the highest of
flee, should go down into the south
and plant there fatal germs in the
minds of the black race.
Those germs will sprout into
events which will not be beneficial tC
either race.
Does ire governor of Alabama, wac
endorsed the presidents lamentablt
speech, think Alabama should have &
negro governor instead of a white
man? Would he like to see the su
preme court of Alabama filled with
negro judges? Would he like to SCI
negro bosses placed over white boys
and white girls?
would President Harding be GLAD
if his successor were to be a black
man? Would the president like tt
see his cabinet filled with negroes?
I'VE white people of the south con

dams and defenders of civilization
We are not going to permit any social
or political equality of the kind the

it would mean destruction of the civ
