While Mr.. Willkie has been a
constant champion of the oppres-
sed and outspoken against intol-
france. for nearly eight years
Mr.. Roosevelt has occupied the
White House. yet you can't find a
spoken or written word he has
uttered in defense of the oppres-
sed Colored people of America.
Nh. Chairman, | am happy to
present to the TOO, 900 Negroes in
Illinois and the thirteen millions
in the United States, a man who
believes in America first. last and
all the time. who believes in all
men up and no man down, who
believes not in the New Deal, but
in a square deal for all men re-
CARELESS of race, creed Or color.
A man whose brow was touched
by the finger of destiny and
whose head was Amounted to lead
p bewildered nation in a dark and
war-torn world the next Presi-
dent of the United States, WEN
DELL l.. WILLKIE.

Our candidate for President
WENDELL L. WILLKIE, long be-
fore he thought of aspiring to
the exalted office of President of
tho United States made his stand
on the race question crystal clear.
Let's compare the records be-
tween the great private industrial
corporations and the largest gov
eminent industrial unit. | refer to
the Commonwealth and Southern
of which our distinguished cham
pion was the president and the
Tennessee Valley Authority, Mr..
Rocsevelt's noble experiment in
government ownership. While the
Tennessee Valley Authority boasts
of giving NOR abundant life 10
thousands of forgotten men, it is
significant that of the thousands
of white employees and residents
included in the very elaborate
educational program of IVA Ne
groes formed an Insignificant
percentage of the total number of
workers on TVA and those few
were permitted to work only as
unskilled laborers, nor does the
iva permit Negroes to live in
the model town of Norris, Tennes-
see upon the theory, "Negroes do
not fit into the program
On the other hand the Com.
mon wealth and Southern, the
great private industrial corpora
ton, once headed by u candidate
WENDELL l.. WILLKIE, has
treated this matter of greatest
concern TO the Negro. OF the total
number of workers employed by
the once WILLKIE CORPORA
TI0N, more than one thousand
one hundred and fourteen 1,114l
are Negroes, many of whom are
employed as line crews, a highly
killed class of work.
Many years ago, in Akron, Ohio
when the Ku Klux Klan attempt
cd to bar Negroes from the great
industrial plants, WENDELL l..
WILLKIE made the memorable
fight against that un-American
organization.
You and | remember just n
few days ago while the President
was soliciting votes from every
un-American organizations in the
country and even kneeling before
p fiery cross, MIR. WILLKIE, u
candidate for President, had the
courage to declare to the world
that he did not want the support
of any man or group of men who
fostered intolerance and prejudice
against any people on account Of
religion, creed or color.

that Colored citizens, are appoint

Remarks of Senator William E.
King in Introducing Wendell
Wlllkie at the Rally of CoIored
Republicans Held in Chicago.
September Is, 1910.
Admist the confusion of rising
and falling nations, of crumbling
kindgdoms and %tottering empires,
when liberty and freedom are on
the gibbet of crucifixion; when
tyrants and dictators are stalking
through the world, the American
people are fortunate in having a
candidate for President of the
United States who believe that,
Zone of one blood, God made all
races to dwell on the face of the
earth
I am happy to present to you a
man who believes in the Magma
Charta, which gave freedom not
only to the nobility, but to the
common man everywhere. A man
who believes in the Constitution
of the United States, including
the 18th, 18th and 18th amend
ments. A man who believes in
the Bill of Rights which says,
I'VE hold these truths to be self
evident that all men are created
equal, endowed with certain in
alienable rights, among them life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" A man who stands firmly
with GEORGE WASHINGTON,
the first President of the United
States and THOMAS JEFFER-
SON, the father of the Democra-
tic Party who vigorously express
sed themselves against any Pres
ident for a third term.

SPEAKS TO NEGROES

nv, language - it is just simple
| everyday language-that anybody
does moi understand, it has no
Harvard Tilt to it-then speak up
and I will restate it. I will carry
out the Republican Platform
pledge to the negro by seeing to
it that Jim-Crow departments in
the Federal Government and in
the divisions which the New Deal
has created by executive decree,
are eliminated and that Colored
citizens are appointed to any
branch of the Federal Civil Ser
vice for which they are qualified.
I will give the Negro a chance
to be heard before Government
takes its decisions affecting his
welfare and rights denied under
the New Deal. It is my profound
conviction that the Democratic
Party is incapable of projecting
civil liberties in this country in
times of stress, and / believe that
the Colored citizen above all 9th
ers needs the leadership that can
protect the civil liberties of every
group. l pledge myself to give YOU
such leadership.
Now let me say to you that l
am 2 complete believer in demo-
cracy, and | think it not only the
most pleasant way of life, but l
think it the most effective way of
life. | think that we must make it
So effective that no dictator will
seek or dare to strike us. But we
cannot make it so effective a
gainst these rulers if we deprive
ourselves of the opportunities and
the talents and the abilities and
the enterprise of 10 per cent OF
our population.
Wants to Produce More -
My pledge to you of what l
want to do with America is this:
Stop the boon-doggling-stop the
extravagant expenditures - stop
theorists-stop the words and
start to work. l want to start the
turning of wheels of industry and
produce, produce, produce.
The reason Hitler Crushed
France is because Hitler produced
and France failed to produce. The
reason England today stands in
desperation is because under the
Chamberlain government tn ey
talked, while Germany produced,
produced, produced.
| want to give America great
production of the defense material
great production of these things
that create satisfaction in life the
real wealth of the people. If we
but start on a program such as
that. there is work for all of us
in this great democracy. There is
gainful work for all of us; there
is profitable work for all of us;
there is noble work for all of us.
l summon all of you people
here today to the great crusade of
calling America back to its fiuer
principles, calling it back to make
our economy vital and vibrant,
calling it back to unity, calling it
back to effectiveness. | ask all of
you Colored people to join with
me because you know better than
any others the price of disuhity
and prejudice.
I pledge you I will never preach
intolerance. Intolerance is what
has torn the old world to pieces

WHAT iiappeneG was that the IN
diana Democratic leaders, realizing
his state pride of the Hoosier voters,
became alarmed lest Willkie run SO
well in Indiana that he would pun
all the Republican nominees ior
state offices. particularly the cover
nor and senator, through with HIM.
So they decided-as they then saw
the situation-to throw Roosevelt
overheard. What they did to carry
out this plan was to rush law
through the legislative mill chang
ing their form of ballot. Under the
new law there was one ballot for the
presidential electors, and another
ballot for all other candidates. The
theory is that the voter Will marx
the presidential ballot as he pleases,
and then will mark the other ballot.
The theory of course was that the
Hoosier voter, anxious to see an
other Hoosler in the White House,
would vote for Willkie on the one
ballot. and then follow his normal
bent in voting for governor, sena.
tor. representative and the other To-
cal officers

Wisconsin voters are not tightly

The trouble is that the Wisconsin
