Dear Sir:
In your issue of August Z, the
Voice of Action carried story
headed COP. Bans Negroes. /"
stating that Negroes were told
bluntly that they were not wanted
at the Republican national conven-
ton at Cleveland, and duly quail
fled Negro delegates were denied
seats.
Kindly allow me the courtesy Of
correction. The records show
there were 20 Negro delegates and
26 Negro alternate delegates seat
ed at the Cleveland convention
There may have been contested de-
legations, but the same was true
Of white delegation. In addition.
it might be said that the nominal
ton of Governor ALI. NJ Landon
for President of the United States
was seconded by a colored man
Perry w. Howard, National Re-
publican Committeeman from Mis-
sissippi, and that he is now at the
Republican National Headquarters
in Chicago acting in the capacity
of general advisor and speaking in
various parts of the country under
the direction of the Republican
speakers bureau.
It is evident that your newspap-
er has confused the Republican
convention with the Democratic
convention at Philadelphia when
the Democratic Senator from South
Carolina. Senator Ellison D. Smith
walked out of the convention when
a Negro delegate attempted to adj
dress the convention,
The Republican party has always
been the friend Of the Negro race,
and It is through the Republican
party that the Negroes obtained
the right of franchise. on the 9th
er hand. the Democratic pasty as
represented by the "solid South .
has ever fought the right Of the
Negro as an American citizen.

basis of 30 cents on the dollar. He
declared that in view of other
California districts having refunded
on ratios up to so percent, the
80 percent proposal was too high
