A DANGEROUS SUGGESTION,

The Richmond. Va., Times>Dispatc.,
one of the ablest edited daily publlca
lions in the Southland and from
! southerner's viewpoint one Of tho bes
friends Of the colored people in all q
} this land, in its issue Of September q
I 1922, says:
Richmond's Negro newspaper, the
Planet, arrives at conclusion II
| might we'll have reached a year ago
that the Republican leaders Of Virgin
Ia have definitely decided it Is best
for the future Of that party that th>
Negroes shall no longer vote it's ticket
Nor will we quarrel with another
statement in its columns, that the Re
publican organization in Virginia is
maintained mainly for capture and dis
tribution Of Federal offices.
Certainly on these two points we
are in agreement. but it soon reaches
the crossroads, where it disagrees. II
says.
1t is with conviction as to the best
interests Of tho Negro race to which
The TimesDispatch has always been u
friend that we urge rejection Of the
suggestion of the Planet that Negroes
organize separately, and endeavor to
present such a solid front that some
day they may hold the balance Of pow
er between the major parties. Such q
course would be disastrous to our col
ored population. No thoughtful man
or woman can contemplate such sit
uation with the slightest degree OF ap

best interest of the Democratic party

size Of the white parties should BIZ.

troll of the State by solid block ..
Negroes. 1t would, however, be most
unfortunate for Virginia, for both
major parties and most of all for tho
co!ored organization and its members.
" ~.
This is a plain statement of an opin.
ion without going into details for an
explanation as to why this cours,,
would be disastrous to the colorcd peo
pie. 1t gives the usual suggestion ana
concludes rs follows:
For fifty years the Negroes have pre-
sented an almost unbroken alignment
with the Republican party. They coul,
not expect much political recognition
from the Democrats. and they have not
had 1t. Now they are forced bodily Oh.
OF the Republican ranks, for as Tho
Times-Dispatch predicted when POI
lard held out the olive branch, IL was
rejected. There is but one practical
course for the Virginia Negro-.o
divide, SO far as he has votes, on party
lines IN accordance with the issues OF
today.
But what does this suggestion
mean? Let us SEQ. We have always
been OF the opinion and this opinion
has been supported by past experiences
and by historic events that in disunion
or division, there is weakness and ain
union, there is strength" There Is nc

There is but one practical course

This has been the preachmcnts OF
