KELLY MILLER SAYS
Kelly Miller Interviews DIR. w.
J. ThOmpkins, Recorder of
Deeds, On the Political
Question

DIR. Thompkins, as the highest
ranking appointive Negro Demo-
cratic official under the Roose-
welt administration, your judg-
ment as to the Negro vote in the
coming Congressional and
Presidential elections is natural
ly of nationwide interest.
@. Do you think that the re-
markable drift vote to Demo-
cratic ranks during the last 3
national elections will be per-
manent?
A. Yes. For Ga years the
Negroes perpetuated the Repub-
llcan party in office. This was
conclusively shown by the Lily
White Organization started by
Taft, down through the grand
male of the Hoover administra-
tion which divorced the bulk of
the Negroes from the Republi-
can party. Recent elections in
such cities as Kansas city, where
the Negro wards showed much
larger Democratic vote proper
tlonately than the white wards,
give evidence that peace and
contentment in the Democratic
party is on the upward trend
with assured permanency.
q: Do you consider the treat
ment which the race has receiv-
ed at the hands of the Demo-
cratic administration juhtifies
It's continued support of that
party;
| A. Emphatically, yes.
| Q. What in your Judgment
has the Republican party done
during the last five years or is
likely to do to offset the bene
fits which the race has received
from the New Deal?
A. Nothing has been dori,
during the past five years of the
Republican administration, and
nothing can possibly be expect
ed. The New Deal has meant
more and done more from an
, economic standpoint than has
ever been done by all previous
administrations.
y. Do you consider that the
New Deal under Franklin d.
Roosevelt, holds out greater pro-
mise to the Negro than the Old
Deal under Taft, Harding a md
Hoover?
A. Yes. Beginning with the
Taft administration, through
, the Harding and with the tragic
ending of the Hoover regime,
all these administrations show
ed the descendency and decline
of t h e Negroes in Republican
politics. These administrations
, disqualified the Negro and ami
.. hilated him politically and econo-
mically. The New Deal under
Franklin D. Roosevelt has given
him new hope and a representa-
tive place in every national de-
partment of government. Never
