of his refulgent splendor" as the
Southern leader. SO far as leading
colored folks in the Southland is con-
cerned, it is out of the question.
President Herbert Hoover has made
"short shift" of them, their influence,
their votes and their leaders. He
seemed to be of the opinion that the
Republican Party is invulnerable and
that no dissolution of the unbeaten
forces behind him was possible.
All of this is changed. The same
leader, who split and defeated the
Democratic organization last Novem-
Der finds his own organization in
most embarrassing situation in the
United States, where its leaders have
been routed and the forces behind
them on dead run" for some place
of safety. President Hoover will
find even more of this condition of
affairs as the months roll by and the
prospect is that the next Congress
may be Republican by narrow
margin, if not Democratic.

A PECULIAR PROPOSITION

We are devoting considerable
space to the report that an effort has
been under way to blacken the
Democratic Party, so to speak by en-
couraging colored men to join the
Party and run as Democratic candi-
dates and to whiten the Republican
Party by ousting the Negroes as far
as this is possible. We realize that
'the wish is father to the thought"
but it is nevertheless fact that the
charge was made openly during the
recent Virginia election that the
Democratic Party in this State was
the Negroes Party.
The Negro congressman in the last
equation are to come from north of
the Mason and Dixon line. There are
unalterable principles underlying all
of this, however, and the politicians
indulging in this kind of talk will
have their trouble for their pains.
Mr.. Grundy seemed to have "oc-
cupied the center of the stage" in
this interview and he did not mince
words in discussing economic ques-
tons.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1929-11-16

will welcome any aid or assistance,
but the only thing to do is to go
ahead with it. We can't get any
where talking around in circles. The
crux of it all is the negro question,
which the regular Republican party
cannot solve; they have tried it for
fifty years and made no progress"
Arnold concluded:
~ found President Curtis
thinking that better class of negro
leaders would solve it. What is the
use for us to convince them by talk
ing as though they realize-of course,
they do not know their subject. The
negro is with us, of course, and that
helps"
Senator Caraway asked the wit
ness if he had ever talked with Pres
ident Hoover about "blackening" the
Democratic party of the South. Mr.
Arnold replied that he had never
talked to the President.
Senator Watson did not think
much of the idea of organizing. a
Southern Republican council, did
he?" asked MIR. Caraway.
~ do not know to what extent he
would have gore along with the
council; he preferred that we should
continue our tariff association work, "
was the reply.

Caraway Examines Arnold.

Senator Caraway examined Mr..
Arnold on the Southern Republican
Council plan. The document outlin-
ing it said that Mr.. Hoover's sue
cess in four of the Southern States
could not be construed as victory
for the Republican party in the
South as now constituted.
The platform proposed was: First,
white leadership; second, protective
tariff; third, sound taxation; fourth,
flood control; fifth, Southern repre-
sentation in the Cabinet; sixth, elm
ination of the negro as a political
factor; seventh, revision of ele .tion
and registrations statutes; eighth,
managerial plan for city and country
governments; tenth, Southern States
Congressional district and precinct
committees.
The attendance of Mrs. Oscar De-
Priest of Chicago, wife of the negro
member of Congress from Illinois, at
a reception given at the White House
by Mr.. Hoover, was mentioned in q
lotter written by Mr.. Arnold to Vice
President Curtis on August II. Ac-
cording to Arnold, the DePriest Incl
dent was g leading issue in an cleo
ton held in the Third District of
Louisiana to fill vacancy in the
House.

Mentions De Priest affair" to
Curtis

The letter of Vice-President Curtis,
written on August y, said, in part:
Some time ago l believe you and
| discussed the campaign in the Third
Congressional District of Louisiana.
The candidacy on the Republican
ticket, at mass meeting largely at
tended by leading Democrats of that
district, was offered to Mr.. J. c.
Barry, a Republican who could have
run without opposition from the
Democrats. However, the Republican
State organization refused to permit
Mr.. Barry'S name to go on the ticket
and put up one Of their own number.
He was badly defeated at the election
last Tuesday.
1T may be of some interest to you
to know that the leading issue was
the De Priest affair at the White
House. The campaign orators and
writer's used Mrs. Hoover and Mrs.
De Priest lunching together with
telling effect"
Mr.. Arnold wrote Mr.. Muse on
December 81, 1928, as follows:
Il went with the darkey today to
see Vice-President Curtis, and he
thought well of our colored Congress
man idea, but said it was a matter
that should be taken up with Mr..
Hoover, and that he would talk with
Hoover about it.
"They all seem to want to get
Hoover's idea about it first. Curtis
said he thought of getting a better
grade of negroes to lead in the
South, but | told him that would not
be the complete remedy.
For "Blackening" Democrats.
"Our line of approach is much
more acceptable to politicians and to
negroes of equalizing by blackening
the Democratic party than by white
washing the Republican party. The
negroes will go in revolt over the
plan of kicking them out of the
party, or of leadership. They will
have to take themselves out of the
way for the present.
"Our talk is down the race prob
lem line. They all see that the race
problem must be solved first before
anything further can be done. We
have the best solution yet.
Think you should get DR.. Lewis
here on the 10th and start some
thing. We never will get anywhere
talking around in circles. If neces-
sary to see Hoover before it starts
off, then go see him and get his de-
cision."
DR.. Lewis was identified as DR..
Burdette Lewis, of Jacksonville, Fla.
Senator Walsh asked Mr.. Arnold
the date of his call on Vice-President
Curtis, and the name of the negro
who accompanied him. The witness
/ could not recall.
"Do you make so many calls on the
Vice-President that you cannot re-
member The date OF this particular
one?" Snator Walsh asked.
ooh, no, / would not say thai,
Mr.. Arnold replied.
In the Arnold letter in which the
statement was made that Mr.. Hoover
did not understand" the South,
written to Mr.. Muse on January LIST,
| it was said that the council plan OF
political organization in the South
Seemed to swing around" the Presi-
dent.
