THE POLITICAL FIGHT

The political fight between the two
wings of the Democratic party is
most interesting, to say the least.
The anti-Smith Democratic contin-
gent supported Hon. Herbert Hoover
last November and tore the Demo-
cratic ship of state from its moor
ings. 1t seems that the hatred of
the anti-Smith Democrats for the ma
tional Democratic organization as
now constituted is equalled by the
antipathy of this same class to the
Negroes.
As the time comes on apace when
black votes in the November ballot
boxes will count as much as white
ones. there is a noticeable slowing up
of the denunciation of the Negroes
by both political parties. Colored
people, duly qualified, should eXer-
else the right of franchise for or
against either the one or the other
or tneSe lacIlONS.
1t seems to us that the election Is
not destined to go the hundred thou
sand votes either the one way or the
other. Let us examine ourselves and
incidentally some of these candidates
on whom we shall have the privilege
OF using the Roosevelt "big stick"
| There are some mighty good white
folks" in this State and some mighty
bad ones"
Let us decide to vote. We cannot
vote but one time, but some ten
thousand of these pieces of paper
would do q world OF good or harm
if we shall use discretion in the cast
ing of them. Our brilliant young
friend, sometimes known as Re-
publican, Assistant District Attorney
Gallon B. Jones, has to our surprise
developed an antipathy to that class
of American citizens, commonly
called Negroes.
He has his head sticking through
the sheet and under it candidate
for Lieutenant Governor" He in
vites attention. Shall we oblige him?
His opponent, Hon. James H. Price,
is just as radical, but he is Saving
wood and saying nothing" so far as
we are able to observe. What a pity
that the head of that able lawyer,
shrewd politician and inveterate Of
ice-seeker and office-holder, has not
put his head too through one of
those political office holes to be
thrown at. We refer to Hon. Henry
w. Anderson.
He put the others on the race
track and remained off himself.
There is much to be thought about
these days. For Gods sake, let US
get ourselves together and vote. We
can vote early, if we cannot vote Of
ten. John Garland Pollard, William
Moseley Brown, John R. Saunders,
C. C. Berkeley. Brethren and sisters,
let those of us who are qualified
make up our minds and vote.
1t will do us world OF good"
even though it may do some folks "a
world of HARM"
