I'm no other presidential
campaign has the Negro vote
been so seriously considered
as in 1886. The balance of po-
wer which the Negro vote
holds potentially in seventeen
states, with an electoral vote
of Isl, gives us greater
strength than we have ever
had before when one considers
that 266 votes in the Electoral

fruit in the new and high re-
gard for the Negro vote.

Our party is not sectional. I en-
ploy neither platitudes nor mot

lates to eolored Americans toget-
her with the principles of the Re-
publican party as they were first
uttered expressed my foolings and
convictions on all problems THAT
concern them.
"The New Deal has designedly
used its great powers to regiment
tho colored citizens out of Ameri-
cas- productive life," the report
said. 1T has abandoned our Negro
farmer to the mercies of large
land owners, permitting him to be
thrown off farms to starve ON in
adequate relief rolls. Under the
guise of NRA, it fixed wages for
Negro workers so low as to make
relief a necessary choice. The New
Deal has permitted unlimited bru-
tally to be inflicted upon Negro
sharecroppers. 1t has even in the
administration of relief discrimin-
ated against our colored citizens,
both by giving them less for home
relief than is given to whites and
by compelling skilled Negro arts
ans to work mainly at unskilled
labor on the WPA.
at has prostituted many of our
leading Negro organizations and
heads there of by substituting them
through the medium of jim crow
federal appointments. 1t has re
fused to take any steps to protect
the life of the colored citizens of
the southern states against the
brutalities of mob violence. And,
finally, by means of relief, the
New Deal has sought to drug the
colored citizen into an Indifference
to this rape of his liberties and
manhood"
"Negro labor will find that its
fortunes are best served by sup
porting Governor Landon," the
board declared. "The PWA efforts
were purely a sham and the few
colored workers employed served
to show the Democratic admins
tration believes Negro labor should
exist on relief rather than by
working in Americas productive
life. Highly trained colored me-
chanics have been forced to toll
tat unskilled labor. New Deal so
cial security laws exclude from
it's benefits the two groups con-
tanning the largest number of Ne
! gro workers: domestics and agri-
cultural workers. The Republican
party has pledged itself to fur
Their the employment of the colored
citizen in the gainfully occupied
life of America, both in govern
ment and private occupations.
"The Republican party and Gov
ernor Landon have made adequate
assurances that relief for all needy
persons will be continued. There
fore, the colored beneficiary of re-
lief can know that in aiding the
election of Landon he has the
same assurance of relief as under
the present administration. But he
has even more, for he has the as
suranee the aid he receives will be
equa to that received by whit eli
ents as well as the party pledge
to aid and further his employment
in federal emergency services
