GARRISON MAKES APPEAL TO
NEGROES TO VOTE FOR
WENDELL L. WILLKIE FOR
PRESIDENT

WENDELL L. WILLKIE FOR
PRESIDENT
Below will be found an appeal
by William Lloyd Garrison Jr. the
great grandson of William Lloyd
Garrison, the Biberator.
NEW YORK, October 25-Stat-
ing that the colored people hold
what is perhaps the most valu-
able vote in the United States to-
day and that a Willkie victory
could easily be their victory to a
legree never before possible, Will
liam Lloyd Garrisin, Jr., of Boston
direct descendant of tho famous
abolitionist, today urged members
of the colored race to vote for
Wendell L. Willkie.
Mr.. Garrison's appeal was made
public by Alan Valentine, Execu--
tive Director of the National Com
mittee of Democrats-For- Willkie,
122 East 42nd Street, New York.
His complete statement yollows;
AT last a day of hope has
come for United States citizens of
colored blood. No presidential can
didate since the isuing of the E.
Emancipation Proclamation has ev-
er given Pledges ESQ far as | am
aware) so completely just and
fair to this great group of Amer
leans, who require and deserve
more consideration at the hands of
government than any other single
group in the United States. The
New Deal, shackled to the Solid
South, cannot be free to protect
them on essential issues, no mat
ter what attempts are made to
gloss over the facts with honey
Ell words orsu perficial gestures.
Wendell L. Willkie, who APP
pears to be the personification of
sincerity and fortnight courage,
has gone the distance. No dis
elimination is his watchword.
Should he be elected, as l believe
The will be, it should be possible
for the members of the Negro
a c to take the largest step for
ward in the whole course of their
tragic history on this continent.
"Willkie apparently believes
what was recently stated so effect
lively by DR.. Frederick P. Keppel,
President of the Carnegie Corpor-
ation-'the day is fast approach
ing, if it is not already here, that
we Americans are going to rise or
fall, sink or swim together, east
and west, north and south, rich an
poor, regardless of race or color or
creed
by a curious twist of fate, the
colored people hold what is per-
haps tho most valuable vote in the
United States today. thanks to the
location of their great urban
groups in pivotal states. A Will
kie victory could therefore easily
prove to be their victory to a de-
grea never before possible in the
annals of America

be, it isn't sacred with the New
Deal Supreme Court.
$50, it is at once manifest that
of a tradition of 80 years may
be set aside on the ambitious plea
of the indispensable man that an
emergency exists, our Constitu-
ton is gone.
""The Constitution does not call
for nominating conventions and,
in fact, the principle was not
established until 1881, but it has
become a custom and tradition of
the two grent partiei. What would
the Third Term-C Candidate say,
after his forced nomination in
Chicago, if the Democrats of the
country would say that they were
not going to follow that tradition
and elected someone else in lieu
of him.
Customs and tradition are as
much a part of the fundamental
law of the land as any other part
of our great Constitution. The
18th Amendment says mo State
shall take life, liberty, or property
without due process of law, and
no State shall deny to any inhab-
liant thereof the equal protection
of the laws There is nothing in
the Constitution that says, If Ne
groes are excluded from the jury
on the ground of being Negroes,
thev have not had due process Of
law and that if the regular pro-
cedure is not followed, they have
not had equal protection of the
law. But custom and tradition and
the Interpretation of the Supreme
Court of the United States are to
the effect if Negroes are denied
the right to sit on the jury because
they are Negroes, they have not
had due process of law.
"And if the same procedure is
not followed and different rules
and regulations are practiced in
tina trial of Negroes from that of
white men, they have not had the
equal p%rotectionI of the law. In
other words, as spelled out from
the traditions and intent of the
Constitution, the Negro stands on
the same footing as every other
American citizen, and if there IS
any departure in tn slightest in
the application of the law, or dis
elimination, such laws would
thwart the Constitution and arc
therefore forbidden. So, it is ap-
parent that the Negro, being in
the minority, has more to lose
than any other racial group in the
violation of the customs and ira
ditions of the Constitution and
laws.
"Tho only safe and sane course
for any citizen, especially color
ed, to follow is to oppose a Third
Term for any candidate for the
Presidency of the United States
The Omaha guide., 1940-11-02

Washington, D. C.-The Repub-
lican National Committee today
called attention to a statement
prersv-' by Judge James A. Cobb
a former Special U. S. District
Attorney and Municipal Judge of
the District of Columbia, in which
he deplored the fact that SO many
of the Colored leaders of the
country have failedzto place en-
phasis on the Third Term issue IN
addressing Colored voters.
He mentioned a speech made
in Washington a few evenings
ago by a Democratic speaker who
stated he wanted Roosevelt for
life"
"This, to my way of thinking"
declares Judge Cobb, lis greatly
to be deplored.'
Continuing the statement, he
said, in part:
Negroes have more to lose by
a perpetuation in office of one
man, which will finally eventuate
into a totalitarian government,
than any other. class or race. The
weak minority always suffers
most from a depression, or a die
tatorship, or a totaIitarian form
of government. A strong majority
or a strong minority are the last
to suffer, as they are in a bet
ter position to protect themselves.
The real protection of any minor
ity is the Constitution and the
laws made Hereunder, and when
they are flouted the minority
has no protection whatsoever.
"The 18th, 14th and 18th
Amendments of the Constitutions
may be printed on two pages of
paper, and yet the whole protec-
ton of the Negro, guaranteeing
his freedom, is wrapped up in
those Amendments as interpreted
by the courts. In other words,
some of the most fundamental and
profound principles of our Con
stitution are not in writing.
Mexico adopted a Constitution
similar to ours and placed in 1t
that the term of the President
should succeed himself. Porfirio
Diaz, a man of great force and
ambition, was elected President of
Mexico in 1876. He served four
years and when the four years
were up he declared himself in
strict observance Of the Constitu-
ton and turned over his office TO
his successor whom he had chos-
en-.
"In 1884 he was reelected
President, and thereafter every
four years until 1910. He had
illegally put through the Legisla-
ture a law s~uspending the Con-
stitution. on account of emergen-
cy, and those who opposed he
had purged. In 1910 there was a
revolution and he was driven from
office by aMdero, who himself
was as~sissinated.
"Since that time there has been
no stable government in Mexico,
and this was brought about on
account of the Indispensable mar
Diaz. 1t is true that our Constitu-
ton does not, in words, forbid a
President to serve more than
eight years, but for $50 years
that has been the tradition and
a part of the unwritten law of
our great Constitution. Break it
down and nothing in our Consti-
tuition is sacred.
CAS- before stated, our Consti-
tuition is simply al outline of gov
ernment and some of the most
fundamental principles are those
translated into the Constitution by
the Supreme Court of the United
States. A decision of the Supreme
Court may be overturned or over
ruled by another Supreme Court
and as disclosed during the last
G however old a decision may

any notion where we were. kept
trying to tell Frank I could see the
guy didn't, but Frank said all along
why. of course, he did. and asking
me if, maybe, I wasn't just little
nervous. That is, he did at first.
well, so this guy takes us
through a woods, he's sure this was
the way, and we'd gone about a hun
dred meters when hell breaks loose.
Now know about artillery, but I've
never had anything like this. We
all fell fiat, and you could hear them
whining through the air like dogs
big ones that would throw a geyser
of rocks and snow and tree branches
a couple of hundred feet in the air.
I don't want any more of 1t. And
shrapnel whistling around-chirp!

the back of my neck-by the way,
there's a fashion note for you,
they're wearing them low on the
neck in Finland-and I counted rs
big ones that landed within hun
dred wards of us. One spent piece,
a little piece, hit tree and bounced
off and then lit right between
Franks shoulder blades-no harder
than a clod, and then bounced OIL
into a snow bank and you could hear
it hiss. If it had stayed there IT
might have burned hole through

he was going" ;.

and I kept thinking it was queer
we didn't see a soul, to ask where
this divisional headquarters was
supposed to be, when all OF a sud-
den we saw a soldier squating down
In the ditch. So this guy unbends
inst enough to tell the driver to
stop and ask him where IN nell
we we're. This soldier was squattlng
there in the ditch besides an anti

he had it pointed the same direction
we were headed.

driver asks him. To Leningrad'
