The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-03-22

'"The late President Theodore
Roosevelt" he continued, Most
forcefully expressed the influence
that race or religion should NOT
have in the selection Of candidates
for office, when he said: I do not
for one moment believe that the
mass of our fellow citizens can be
influenced by such narrow bigotry
as to refuse to vote for any thor
oughly upright and fit man be-
cause he happens to have a par
ticular religious creed. Such a
consideration should never be
treated as a reason for either sup
porting or opposing candidate
for a political office
LAS an example of Theodore
Roosevelt's adherence of relig-
ious prejudices the late President
pointed out in the same statement:
-" In my Cabinet at the present
moment there sit side by side
Catholic and Protestant, Chris
tan and Jew, each man chosen be-
cause in my belief he is peculiarly
fit to exercise on behalf of all our
people the duties of the office to
which I have appointed him. In
no case does the mans religious
belief in any way influence his
discharge of his duties, save as it
makes him more eager to act just
ly and uprightly in his relations
to all men. The same principles
that have obtained in appointing
the members of my Cabinet, the
highest officials under me, the Of
ficialS to whom is entrusted the
work of carrying out all the i'm
portant policies of my admins
tration, are the principles upon
which all good Americans should

act in choosing, whether by cleo
ton or appointment, the men to
fill any office from the highest to
the lowest in the land"
It so happens the Jewish mem
Der of Theodore Roosevelt's Cab
net to whom the late President at
that time referred was none other
than the father of Mr.. Straus, the
late Oscar S. Straus, who had the
distinction of being the first Jew
to have a place in the Cabinet of
President of the United States,
serving as Secretary of Commerce
and Labor in the Administration
of Theodore Roosevelt from 1906
to 1909 and, before that, having
been tweed m e d as United
States Ambassador to Turkey in
1898-19OO and from 1909-1910.
Further than this, Mr.. Straus'
father was the first member of
the Jewish faith to be nominated
by any political party for the Gov
ernorship of the Empire State,
being named for Governor of New
York in 1912 on the Bull Moose
ticket.
Thus an active interest in poll
tics comes as naturally to Roger
w. Straus as does his interest in
his family and in his home. From
his earliest childhood Mr. Straus
has lived in the atmosphere of
disinterested public service, this
service extending not only into the
fields of religion, philanthropy and
the advancement of Jewry in the
United States, but into the realm
of politics as well.
Continuing the interview, Mr..
Straus pointed out pitfalls which
he declared the Jewish voter
should be particularly careful to
avoid and said: 1.-THE Jew should
be especially careful not to be
guided by idle gossip or rumor
concerning candidates, unverified
accusations and sinister propa-
ganda having selfish motives be-
hind them. In these days all sorts
of stories are circulated about
this and that candidate, many of
them totally without basis in fact
and intended solely to mislead the
individual voter and to spread the
evils of racial and religious ha-
treds and bigotry.
"The Jews should, therefore. ex-
ercise precaution not to be swayed
by false reports of religious or ra-
cial antagonisms and to avoid
voting as Jews, but rather to vote
only as Americans for those can
didates who, after careful consid-
GRAFTON, seem the best qualified
for the office they seek, regardless
of whether they are Democrats or
Republicans, Protestant, Catholic
or Jew. This must be our attitude

bove all, Jewish citizens
should destroy the myth that Jews
vote as Jews or vote for Jewish
candidates because they are Jews.
That such an idea is myth the
vast majority Of Jewish citizens
can testify. Our single purpose in
our political activity, whether we
are Democrats or Republicans,
must be to work in all sincerity,

In this manner Roger Williams

the political duty confronting Jew
ish citizens when I interviewed
him the other day in his office
in the Equitable Building, New
York City.
