DRAWS COLOR LINE
IN NAMING WOMAN
Committeeman From Georgia
Said to Prefer Negress as
Associate on Committee

WASHINGTON, July 9.-By Civ
ing signs of an intention to appoint
a negro woman as associate member
of the Republican National Com
mittee from Georgia, Henry Lincoln
Johnson, negor Republican Nation
al Committeeman from that State,
has made it practically impossible,
in the opinion of many onlookers,
to induce a white woman to accept
the post even if he ultimately
should abandon his present design.
1t is believed that Johnson's at
tempt to name a negro woman as
his associate has so generally ad-
vertised the fact that a white wo-
man, if selected, will be his political
partner in representing Georgia
hat none will consent to serve with
him.
What is most painful to certain
Republican leaders is the prospect
of the "color line" in the Republi-
can organization when the presepce
of white women makes it more con
spiciuous and at a time when negro
delegates will have to be garnered
for President Harding all through
the South.
This question of race and color,
these leaders fear, is sure to be
raised in disconcerting way no
matter what the final outcome of
Johnson's plan to appoint a negro
woman may be. If he chooses a
negro woman as his associate on
the National Committee, it is fore.
seen that white women in the aux
iliary body will resent her presence
there and refuse to accept her.
On the other hand, it is pointed
out, even if a white woman is
eventually nominated for the place
1t is believed she will feel the Slight
of having been second choice to a
negro woman for a position that
makes her the official colleague
OF negro politician with an un-
sayory record, and decline the an
pointment.
