SEES return:
OF G.0.P.P PARTY
Believes Old Deal
Was Best
By KELLY MILLER

In an interview with Perry w.
Howard on the political situation
from the standpoint Of the Re-
publican, Kelly Miller asked the
following:
'Mr. Howard, you are looked
upon as an arch Negro Republi-
can in the United Sta es, there
fore, your seasoned views and
opinions will carry great weight
not only with Negro readers, but
throughout nationwide circles.
l. Q.-What do you consider
the chances Of the Republican
Party for a comeback in the ap-
preaching elections of 1888 and
1910?
Al think that there is no
doubt whatsoever that we double
our vote in the House, increase
our number in the Senate by fiji
teen in 1888, and there is no
doubt in the world of our elect
ing a Republican President in
1910.
2. Q.-What particular benefit
would accrue to the Negro from
the success Of the Grand Old Par
ty?
Alt would blaze a new trail
of manhood rights as the party
has always done and not like the
Democrats, predicate what they
do upon the Negroes stomachs.
8. Q-Is there any indication
that the new Republican Leader
ship would revert to the doctrine
Of polit cal and civil equality set
forth in the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth Amendments?
Ayes, as evidenced by the
most active efforts Of Republicans
to get more Negroes into Con-
gress at this time.
4. Q-Would the Republican
Party be more generous to Ne
groes in governmental service
than its Democratic rival?
A.-Most assuredly, as evil
denced by the past. Compared
with the number Of white en-
ployees, there are less Negroes in
the employment of the Govern
ment now than there has ever
been in the history Of our Gov
eminent.
S. Q.-Do you consider that the
Old Deal under Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover held out greater pro-
mise to the Negro than the New
Deal of Franklin d. Roosevelt?
A-Most assuredly.
6. Q.-What industrial or eco
nomic program has the Republi-
can Party under the new leader
ship which promises better things
for the nation and therefore for
the Negro?
A.-By stabilizing industry and
commerce, unfreeze assets so that
an individual would earn an hon.
est living az compared with the
pump-priming and spending our
selves back to prosperity.
z. Q.-Are the Republicans Of
the North and West any more ia
vorably disposed to the political
and civil rights of the Negro than
the Democrats Of that section?
Ayes, of course.
8. Q.-Are Lily White Repub-
licans Of the South any more ia
vorably disposed to the political
and civil rights of the Negro than
the Democrats of that section?
Ayes. Any kind Of Repub-
lican will at least consent to the
Negro voting anywhere.
9. Q.-HoW do you account for
the wholesale shift Of qualified
Negro voters in the North and
West from Republican to the
Democratic fold in the last two
Presidential elections and how dc
you propose to stem the drift Of
the tide in 1910?
A.-They went away because
they did not believe that Mr.
Hoover wanted them, but they
have been kept away by the flesh
pots of the relief scandal. They
will return because a new lead.
ership Of the Republican Part,
stands for the full and equa

Tobacco Up
As Fears OF
War Vanish
Buying for Export
Trade Picks Up Sharp
ly in Days Sale on
Henderson Market

Tobacco took a sharp upward turn
on the Henderson market today, Fred
M. Allen; Jr., supervisor of sales said,
adding. that buying for the foreign
trade was very active, and was at
tributcd to the definite passing OF the
European war threat.
Mr.. Allen said one pile, and large
pile at that, sold for $55, the highest
price reported this season.
The supervisor declared that the
general quality of the leaf on sale ap-
peared to be much better than that OF
the last several days, and that was
given credit along with the passing
of the war scare, for the Improvement
in prices paid He would not hazard
any estimate of the probable average
for the day, but said it would be well
up in the 2O's.
It was estimated that offerings
would require the entire day for sale
and that between 100000 and 100000
pounds would be disposed of.
Official figures for Thursdays sale
were announced by Mr.. Allen as 259,-
1858 pounds sold for SAG, 506.44, at an
average of $19.04 per hundred pounds.
With fair and cooler weather ex-
pected next week, the market is ex-
pected to move into stride in season
sales.
