Eliminating Colored
Voters

There Is a lot of speculation going
on all over the nation as to what is
to be the future status of the black
people in American politics. One
school of thought, after brewing its
conclusion in pessimism, declares
that we are going to be eliminated
completely and will be ignored in
the matter of national representa-
ton and patronage. There are others
who firmly believe that those amend
ments to the Constitution comforting
upon US the right to vote will either
be enforced or the representation
given those states denying us that
right will be cut down. There are
others who claim that there should
be drastic switch and change in our
party politics and boldly advocate a
wholesale detection to other groups.
And there is another aggregation
who assert that the black people
should lay hands off the Southern
dilemma and concentrate their eff
forts in solidifying the balance of
power in those Northern states where
that condition obtains. At the pres
emit time there appears little reason
to predicate a conclusion that q
unanimous policy and opinion will
be reached.
This writer does not believe that
the black people are going to be
eliminated from party politics, nor
does he believe that the amendments
referred to are going to be enforced
within the span of this generation,
nor will the representation of the
DISTINGUISHING states be reduced and
cut down. He further sees a gradual
split in the vote in certain sections
but nothing to indicate a decided de-
lection, and he does see Illinois. New
York and Missouri concentrating
their forces and electing their black
representatives to the national gov
erning body. He sees great strength
being engendered and developed in
five Northern states and he is prone
to conclude that in the light of the
fact that the electoral votes of these
states will be able to name presi-
dents that the black people will not
be eliminated from national politics.
II would work hazardous results, en-
tail the spending of millions of dol
lars, shatter political combines and
work havoc with the programs and
policies of those states. Those states
in question are fully aware of these
facts and the political parties in con-
troll there are too shrewd, selfish and
calculating TO ignore this overwheln-
ing black vote.
The Enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 192?-1930, 1928-11-22

The. writer hazards the guess that
four years hence the four Democrat
ic states that veercd into the Repub-
lican ranks during the last election
will be back with the party of their
forbears. Prejudices, traditional
hatreds and history as a rule mold
the suffrage of these Southern states
and already the hue and cry has
been raised to dig up the body of
General Robert e. Lee and trans
plant it in Mississippi. They said
that the body of the great Civil War
general cannot lie in Virginia since
that state, the birthplace of Thomas
Jefferson, who founded the Demo-
cratic party, has become Republican.
