POLITICAL POWER DISTORTED
BY NEGRO DISFRANCHiSE-
MENT, SAYS DR.. DU BOiS
Southern Oligarchy Dictator of Ma
ton, Declares Editor of Crisis"
in Keynote Address of Race
Relations Conference

Los Angeles, Cal, June 28-Dis-
franchisement of the Negro in south
ern states has brought about such
distortion of political power in the
United States that small white oil
garchy in the south is the dictator of
the nation, declared DR.. w. E. B. Du
Bots, editor of The Crisis magazine,
in the keynote address here which
opene the 10Th annual conference
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
DIR. Du Bots pointed out that the
barring of Negro citizens from the
polls in southern cities had transfer
red political power into the hands of
small group of whites, as many as
from 80 to 80 per cent of voters in
far southern states restraining from
voting in the election of 1920.
Among the states where this Austen
ton from use of the ballot was most
pronounced DR.. Du Bots cited the

and 18th amendments but the 18th,
giving the right to vote to women.
And, finally, it entirely vitiates the
normal distribution of voting power
throughout the nation.
at accomplishes this not simply by
DISTINGUISHING Negroes. The popula-
ton in southern states has doubled
and by reason of woman suffrage the
voting population ought to have quad
rupled, but actually, as matter of
fact, the voting population has in
creased less than so per cent, show
ing that not only have two million
Negroes been disfranchised but more
than two million whites"
DR.. Du Bots quoted from an adj
dress of Henry w. Anderson, white
politician of Virginia, who asserted
that in southern states the qualifica-
ton to vote is so limited that gov
ernors and other state officers are
Sometimes elected by less than ten
per cent of the population of voting
age"
"At the event of a presidential
election" continued DR.. Du Bots,
singular compilations are made. The
democrats can start out assuming the
votes of IL southern states with, at
present, 124 of the 531 electoral
votes. They need to fight therefore,
for only 142 electoral votes to have
the majority of the electoral college.
On the other hand, the republicans
must leave out of account 142 elec7
toral votes at the start and of the
407 electoral votes they can afford
to lose only 141.
"But if this is the plight of the
republicans, what can be said of any
third party? 1t simply has no chance
at all.
"As sure as fate some day there
is coming in the United States poll
teal controversy with social and
economic roots which is going to open
suddenly the question as to why the
south has three times the political
power of the west and why New Eng
land, with its disfranchised foreign
workers, has more political voice than
the west. The protest is not coming
simply from northerners or friends
of the Negro. 1t is even coming from
the south itself.
"This is no mere question of parish
or section or race. 1t is a vast and
pressing problem of democracy and
civilization. We must decide, and
decide soon, what persons, what pub
lie opinion in the United States shall
rule. Shall it be the public opinion
of small select group of persons of
Nordic descent? Shall it be the pub
lie opinion of the rich controllers of
capital? Shall it be the public opin-
ion of college graduates? Shall it be
the public opinion of all adult Amer
leans except Negroes, Asiatics and
Latins? Or shall we try to make it
the public opinion of all intelligent
adults? Whatever public opinion
rules in the United States, it must
rule freely and clearly without a sys-
tenn Of rotten boroughs and without
discrimination and cheating. The
clearing up and settling of this great
question is the vastest problem that
faces America today and we must be-
gin with it's solution now"
