l want to read you a plank from
the Republican platform in 1860:
That the maintenance inviolate
OF the rights Of the States, and es-
pecially the right of each State to
order and control its own domes-
tic institutions according to its
own judgement exclusively, is es-
sential to that balance of power
on which the perfection and endur-
ance Of our political fabric de-

no truth in the statement that he
was elected to free the Negro
slaves. 1t might have taken the
Negro a long time to find out the
truth, but, my friends, the vote in
Illinois last Tuesday by the Ne
groes tells the Republican Party
that it no longer has that vote in
its vest pocket. (Applause).
l think you will be interested in
hearing an experience of my own.
About 1928 l went to a great Demo-
cratic leader in this city and said,

ton was changing and that the
Democratic Party was marching to
power; dumb and unacquainted as
was with politics, l could see
the stupendous plumbers the
Republican Party was making, and
that the American citizens would
not stand for it.
So l went to see this gentleman
to talk to him about the considera-
ton of that party to the Negro
and l believe you will bear with
me when l quote the exact con-
versation that took place between

Il am glad to talk to you about
that subject" We were both seat

National Press Building. He said

the Democratic Party does not owe
the Negro a damn thing" 1 stood
there, almost ready to sneak out
of the office, because I did not
know what was going to follow

gentleman used. Before 1 could
sneak out of the office, he turned
and said, "The Republican Party
owes the Negro hell of lot, ant
will not pay him" He continued
Now, politics is cold-blooded

publican Party has had the Negro
vote in its vest pocket, and have
not you learned that nobody tries
to catch the fish that he has in the
basket or in the pail? When we
go fishing, we go after the fish in

the Negro vote in it's pocket, you
may expect no consideration from
that party, and you can expect less

ALESSON ON
TRAFFICLAW
OBSERVANCE

A great number of motorists
seem to labor under the impress
sion that issuing a traffic viola
ton ticket is a personal matter
with a policeman. This is entirely
an erroneous assumption. The
policeman is working on the pro-
mise that the particular violation
in question is either an unsafe
act, and likely to cause injury to
someone, or is an act that will
seriously interfere with the ex-
peditious movement of traffic. 1t
is not for him to determine how
you shall drive, but rather to pre-
vent if possible actions that are
unsafe, or bring trangressors of
the traffic law to a court of JUS
tice.
Traffic laws are subject to the
same consideration as all other
laws, are passed by the same gov
erning bodifs, and should be sup
ported and obeyed with the same
degree of loyalty as any other
law.
Quite often, we, as individuals
disagree with the law making
bodies as to the necessity of GER
tain regulations, but remember
there is always two sides to ques
ton and they hear both sides.
An open minded study of the
traffic law will convince anyone
that they should encourage rather
than ridicule an Officer who IL
enforcing regulations.
These suggestions to motorists
are issued by the First Precinc
Safety Officers of the Detroi
Police Department.

TEX. CHARGE WHITE PRIMARY
SPURS NEGRO VOTE BAN

Waco, Texas-The Waco Branch
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored peo-
pie has released the text of a let
ter to National Chairman James A.
Farley of the Democratic Nation
al Committee urging him to take
under immediate consideration"
the contradictions between the Ma
tional Democratic platform and
the action of the Texas State
Democratic convention barring
Negroes from the party's primary
elections.
The letter signed by Attorney
r. d. Evans, president of the
Branch, and James H. Giron, its
secretary, warns that "If the State
Democratic Convention can by re-
solution legally bar colored from
voting in the primary election be-
cause of color or race alone, it can
go further and bar them from vot-
ing for Democratic nominees in
the General election, both being
legal elections. For the same rea-
son and by tn same method all
other parties can do the same
thing and thus nullify the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments
to the Constitution
Summarizing the legal history
of the white primary fight in
Texas carried on for a decade by
the N. A. A. c. P. and quoting the
federal statutes outlawing the
color bar in all elections, the letter
points to the support given the
National Democratic ticket In

other American Presidents, that the

view favorably the suggestion that an
extraordinary inter-American confer
ence be summoned. to assemble at an
early date at Buenos Aires to
determine how the maintenance Of
peace among the American republics
may best be safeguarded-whethe
perhaps, through the prompt ratifica-
ton of all of the inter-American
peace instruments already negotiated;

strated to be most necessary; or per-
haps through the creation by common

additional to those already formulated.

Such was the American proposal
for a continental conference destined
to mark a turning point In postwar
American foreign policy. and OF un-
usual importance. because Of the
alarming course of events abroad and
the prolongation of unemployment
and economic depression at home.
There is reason to believe that the
germ Idea of the conference had been
discussed by Mr.. Sumner Welles, As
sistant Secretary Of State, with vari-
Gus Latin American diplomats, more
than a year ago, shortly after Mr..
Welles' return from Cuba, where he
assisted in the liquidation Of the Ma
chado regime. This was before the
outbreak OF the Italo- Ethiopian war.
and perhaps before the termination of
that other tragedy in the Chaco
Boreal, between Bolivia and Para
quay, in 1884.
President Roosevelt specifically re-
ferred to that conflict and its termina-
ton in his letter proposing the Pan
American Conference. He said:
Il cherish the sincere conviction
that the moment has now arrived
when the American republics, through
their representatives seated at q COM
mon council table, should seize this
favorable opportunity to consider their
joint responsibility, and their COM
mon need of rendering less likely in
the future the outbreak, or the con-
tinuation, of hostilities between them,
and, by so doing. serve in an eminently
practical manner the cause Of per-
manent peace on this Western Con-
tinent. If the tragedy Of the Chaco
can be considered as having served
any useful end, I believe such end
will lie in our joint willingness to
profit from the experience learned.
and to exert our common endeavors
in guarding against the repetition Of
such American disasters"
