sent Negro a better opportunity tC
share in the responsibility of gov
eminent and use 1t as an instru-
ment for their own substantial and
permanent betterment.
Much has been said during the
past administration about the Ne
gro and relief. The thinking Negro
does not want relief in the form
of petty cash, temporary employ
ment. and insignificant political
jobs. He wants equal opportunity
recognition, patronage, unprejudic-
ed justice in the courts, equality in
civil service, elective representa-
ton, and political jobs that will
lead him to active participation in
our government as American citi-
zens. The Negro is no longer will
ing to be deprived of these oppor-
tunities.
No organization can hope to &C
complish anything worthwhile If il
does not squarely face the prob
lens which confront the group it
seeks to serve, and set itself reso-
lutely to the task of seeking solu-
tions for them. The organization
which FAILS in this respect does
not even deserve to exist. Both by
history and present necessity, the
Republican party is the only pro-
per and effective instrument that
the Negro can use to bring about
within reasonable length of time,
accomplishment of his well-deserv-
ed aspirations which make him an
integral and recognized part of our
American productive life.
The very ideals of the Republi-
can party and of Governor Landon,
the Republican presidential candi-
date, have most boldly stood for
and pledged themselves on behalf
of the Negro, his rights, and his
opportunities.

ed in the free air of another great
prairie state, Ohio, and finally edu-
Gated and cultured, in the great
prairie state of Kansas.
Alfred Landon was graduated
from the University of Kansas. To-
Gated at Lawrence, which was sack
ed and burned and its citizens
massacred, as the price it paid for
being opposed to slavery. Perhaps
few of the present generation of
voters remember the great part
that Kansas played in the freedom
of the Negroes. 1t was the last
state to be admitted to the union
so that it's votes might count in
the Congress of the United States
in determining whether the Negro
should remain forever a slave or
be set free.
Thousands of immigrants piled
into this typical prairie state from
New England that it might vote for
freedom for the Negroes. The south
likewise shipped thousands upon
thousands into Kansas and thus
this state became the real decisive
battle ground for the determination
of the greatest question confront
ing the United States since the
blow for independence in 1776.
Missouri were being constantly
sent into Kansas to raid the rapidly
growing cities of citizens pledged
to vote for the freedom for the
Negro. Lawrence was one Of these
cities. A guerilla named Guam
trell was the ring leader of these
bloody forays from Missouri into
Kansas and on one of these raids.
he attacked the city of Lawrence
which at that time had a popula-
ton of a little more than a thou
sand In the dead of night, this
bandit from the South slipped into
Lawrence, set fire to the city and
literally burned the people of that
city alive. Those who could es-
cape from the log houses which
they had built, were shot in cold
blood.
No man with red blood in his
veins can spend four years in the
University of Kansas, situated on
the hills overlooking the city of
Lawrence, without having a daily
reminder of the part which this
old city on the Kaw river played
in the fight for the freedom of the
Negro.
This writer attended that Univer-
sity with Alfred M. Landon. Both
of us know how strong the tradi-
tional freedom Of Lawrence seeps
into the veins of the youth who
attend this great University. SO
It was not surprising to me when
Gov. Landon recently told a dele

row Wilson do to us In the war?
We weren't good enough to fight
with white soldiers. We had to
be put into companies by ourselves.
What did the Democrats say about
us as soldiers? They used to say
that they had to put a machine gun
battalion of whites behind us to
keep us In the line.
II the Northern Republican led
by Lincoln, were willing to shed
their blood that We might be freed
from the slavery of the South, do
we Negroes owe them anything ?
Shall we brand ourselves ingrates,
bought by the Farley-Hopkins hand
out?
Lincoln went through four long
years of the Civil War, hampered
on every side by traitors, and the
northern soldiers died by thou
sands, shot down by the bullets of
the South that we might be free.
But we are not free in the South,
even today. We still are denied
the right to vote there.
Lincoln gave us freedom. II
took a plain, lean man from a ty-
pical prairie state, to get us what
we have today. Let's keep it by
putting another prairie slater in
the White House.

Roosevelt Addresses
Students

President Franklin Roosevelt was
the chief speaker at the dedicatory
ceremonies of the $3.50 chemistry
building at Howard University, in
Washington, d. c. Monday. The
structure was erected as one of
three WPA building projects for
the university.
In his talk, Mr.. Roosevelt empha-
sized that the purpose of the New
Deal" is to bring about such ideal
conditions in the United States
that there will be no forgotten man
and no forgotten race.

Negro Women Forced
To Dig WPA bitches,
S a y S R e p or t
(By II. ID. C0KE)

BIRMINGHAM-It is no joke or
political propaganda when I write
that 500 colored women will report
for work on more than a half-doz-

jobs this week to dig bitches, haul
sand, mix concrete, lift lumber,
NOW grass, cut weeds, plant trees,
to landscape and to do all the la
Dor that Identification entails. It
is no joke, l tell you, for I have
seen it with my own eyes right
here in Birmingham. l have inter-
viewed them and I have talked to
their foreman, their district mana
ger, and l have not slept single
night since first saw that shame
full thing. My women, my black

ing on the sewing projects, but
sewing project managers received
an order on that day to transfer
the women to the Identification
project. They knew not why.
The 500 women are worked for
fifteen minutes on the pick jobs
and fifteen minutes on the sand
hauling jobs and so on. In this
manner they get some relief from
the more strenuous work. The
foremen admit that the work is too
hard for the women and frankly
state that they do not like the task
of having to work women. One
of the foremen appears to be a.
foreigner. He can hardly speak
American English.

cation of Negro leaders that he
would do everything in his power
to have congress pass an anti
lynching law, If he were elected
president He means 1t.
Another thing that Gov. ALT. M.
Landon will stop is the boondog-
Cling project known as slum clear
ance which has for it's purpose the
segregating of the colored citizens
of the community from the rest of
the people. Do the Negroes Of De-
troit want to be placed in a virtual
stockade which might as we'll have
sign on it reading:
NO WHITES ALLOWED
No, Landon will stop that. II
is not surprising that the Roose-
velt administration should take
the lead in segregating the Negroes
of America. The Negroes vote In
Kansas. Do they vote in the South
Ask any Negro who has LIVED
in the South if you think you will
be permitted even in the polling
places in the southern states. But
Negroes, you are asked to vote In
the North and if it weren't for the
Northern states and men like AL
fred M. Landon and Abraham Lin
coin you wouldn't vote anywhere
1t occurs to me that the best wav
to get at the record of the Roose-
vel administration in reference to
what they really think of the Ne
gro-I mean outside of when
they're trying to get your vote
is to see who really is in power
in Washington The vice -presi-
dent is John Nance Garner from
Texas. There would have been a
Federal law putting an end to the
brutal lynchings Of the South il
it hadn't been for Vice President
Garner. Garner will pass any O.
Their Legislation the president wants
but he won't pass the anti-lyncb,
ing bill.
President Roosevelt has had com
plete control of both houses OF
Congress for the last four years
Congress has passed every bill
that he has asked them to pass.
He has aked them to pass bills
that he knew were unconstitution-
al. and congress did. But where
is the bill to stop lynching of in
nocent Negroes?
There isn't a person in Washing
ton familiar with the Farley-Tam-
many Hall system of politics, who
does not know that the most gil
gantic swindle is being put over on
the Negroes of America that has
ever taken place in the history OF
this country. Farley is telling the
Negroes that he got them relief.
Negroes should trade their votes
for from $40 to $50 a month so the
Southern gang can stay at the
helm of government. He tells us
in the North that Roosevelt gave us
relief or we would have starved
and in the South, we are kept a
way from the polls, while billions
Of Northern money is poured into
the pockets Of the rich politicians
of the South. What is the plight OF
the Negro in the South? Is he
getting relief? No. The Southern
Negro must exc out an existence
the best way he can because he
can't vote in the South. The op-
pressors of our race in the South
are given relief more generously
than we are in the North because
they have the votes.
