Senators from Northern and border
States, which have large number O!
colored voters, are alarmed
The subcommittee of the Senate judi
ciary committee, in charge Of the nom

and favorable report is expected.

member has not announced any de-
cision The Idaho Senator made il
clear to those interested In the case thai

the Parker decisions respecting the labor
cases.
The American Federation of Labor
has protested that his decision uphold

Cites Cause for Fight.
Through Walter White of the Asso-
ciatlon for the Advancement Of Colored
People, the associations objection was
specifically made to a statement pub
liShed by a North Carolina newspaper
III WL11C41 JuOSc Z dIhcI WdS CAculISu
with being opposed to the colored race
in politics.
A prominent Republican Senator
said the disclosure that Judge Parker
was against the colored voter and as
a participant in politics has brought
so many protests from States where
there are large groups of colored voters
that the control of the Senate next
November must well be upset by his
confirmation and Republican sway over
the chamber lost.
He said that it had created a dan
gerous situation for Senators Guy D.
Golf and Henry D. Hatfield in West
Virginia, for Senator John M. Rcbsion
in Kentucky, for Roscoe G. McCulloch
in Ohio, for Senators Arthur Capper
and Henry j. Allen in Kans9S, for
Dwight Morrow in New Jersey, for Mrs.
Ruth Hanna Mccormick in Illinois and
for other Republican candidates in
States with heavy colored votes.
Senator Golf Of West Virginia, who
Endorsed Judge Parker in the first place,
is said to have withdrawn his indorse-
ment.
Denial by Parker Suggested.
The possibility that Judge Parker will
repudiate the newspaper statement at
tributed to him in 1920 was suggested
by HepuDuCan LedQeTS III C1l6 0C1loIc
one story Is that he said in 1920 he
did not want the election as governor
If It was to come to him through col
ored votes. This, however, has been
denied by his friends.
The suggestion was made today that
Judge Parker might be asked to appear
before the Senate judiciary committee
It was recalled that, years ago, wher
the fight was waged on Justice Louis
-. Brandies,, he appeared before the
committee and made a statement in his
own behalf.
Debate on the floor will take wide
range. It will concern the attitude Of
the Supreme Court itself on the In
