AND THEY DID 1T after al
After crying for months and year
that no sensible people would swal
horses in the middle of the stream
the Democrats last Friday discard
ed this principle and did just that
BY nominating Senator Truman
for Vice President they have dem
onstrated that in this wartime
year they believe in changing
horses in mid-stream. By ditching
Vice President Wallace, nOtwith-
standing the half-hearted endorse
ment given him by their indispen-
sible man, they have abandoned
their battle cry of past years. With
the dropping of Wallace has gone
also the fanatical last ditch re-
form crusade of which he was the
personification. With him has gone
the hope of the Negro voter who
clung to the New Deal party large
ly because of their belief in Wal
lace and the hopes which he in
stilled in them. The platform
adopted at Chicago handled the eX-
plosive race issue very cautiously.
II said that racial and religious
minorities have the right to live.
develop and vote equally with all
citizens and share the rights that
are guaranteed by our COnstitu-
ton. Congress should exert its
full constitutional powers to pro-
tect those rights" What more
vague or inconclusive clause could
have been inserted? 1t certainly
does not meet the demand of the
Negroes for the solution of their
problems-especially in the South.
In this connection the Republi-
can platform without mincing
words condemns 1.-The injection in
to American life of appeals to ra-
cial or religious prejudice. We
pledge an immediate Congressional
inquiry to ascertain the extent to
which mistreatment, segregation
and discrimination against Ne
grOes who are in our armed forces
are impairlng moral and efficiency
and the adoption of corrective leg
islation." The Republican plat
form goes further. 1t unequivo-
cally denounces the poll tax and
calls for anti-lynching legislation.
The Republican position on these
questions is Straightforward and
The Democratic pol
icy is neither.
Having squandered the public .
monies for ten long years before .
the war emergency, the Democrat
ic platform is careful in discussing
this point; but the Republicans de-
clare that I'VE shall eliminate
from the budget all wasteful and
expenditures and ex-
srcise the most rigid economy" On
heir labor record the Democrats
stand pat But the Republicans
strengthen their position by assail-
ng New Deal "perversion of the
Wagner Act" and pledge "an end
o political trickery in the admins
ration of labor laws and the hand
ing of labor disputes"
Taken all in all the Democratic
was a disappointment
o old-line Democrats. 1t was dom
mated by the Kellys and the Ha-
,ues, the Nashs and the Hennagins,
he big city machines and partly by
he radical labor elements in the
lation 1t revealed a party long
n the saddle beginning to slip. Its
roubles will multiply between now
nd November.
