HAZEL
EYES
BY HAZEL BRANNON


four more years of the Roosevelts in
the White House will mean a death
blow to every tradition held dear to
Southern hearts and suicide for the So
called Democratic party.
Not only will the South suffer. The
whole nation will feel the impact of the
revolution that is destined to sweep
this country il present trends are allow
ed to continue If the Roosevelts are
allowed to continue.
The Roosevelts stand for social and
political equality of the races. They
stand for non-segregation Of the races
and have openly said there should be
no segregation Of the races in the
nations capital.
Mrs. Roosevelt was one of the patrons
present at the recent housewarming
party given by the CIO in the dedication
of its USO in Washington at which
white girls and negroes danced and
sang together singing "Let Me Call
You Sweetheart" if you please.
The God who created US all never in
tended that blacks and whites should
mingle together socially, sexually, inter-
mingle or intermarry.
There are small classes of white peo-
pie in the north who may want to mix
with and marry negroes. But We do not
have those kind of people, white or
black, In the South. We have the
highter type Of negroes in the South
who take pride in the color Of their race,
who have their own code of morals and
who would no more think of marrying
a white person than they would think
about flying.
The negro race has made more prog
ress in the few generations he has been
in America thar any other race. He
has enjoyed the benefits Of the white
mans civilization without taking the
risks the white man took when he came
to this country. He has come a long
way in a few generations from slavery
n savagery.
The best leaders Of the negro race
realize this and know that the Progress
made by their race has been more than
satisfactory to date. They know the
only real solution to any so-called
racial problem will have to be found
right here in the South where the vast
majority Of negroes live and work
that it cannot be legislated from Wash
ington by the Roosevelts, the Clio, the
Supreme Court, or anyone else.
The recent Supreme Court ruling re-
versing the previous stand of the Su-
preme Court in regard to participation
Of negroes in the white Democratic pri-
maries is an example Of the Roosevelts
in action. The present Supreme Court
Of the United States is nothing more
than a bunch Of hand-picked Thy Roose-
velt) political spoilsmen. What other
kind of decision can you expect from n
Roosevelt court?
This is another example of what
happens when q man stays in office too
long. Roosevelt has already been in
too long.
The South Is not worthy of the great
men who have gone before it If we
allow ourselves to be inundated to the
point of voting for Roosevelt again.
There is no man in this nation divinely
appointed to lead our people. There is
nc man who cannot be replaced. And
any man who for any reason whatsoever,
especially political, cerates disunity
among the races deliberately for the
benefit of feathering his own nest, de-
serves to be repudiated. to go down
into defeat.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been in the highest
office the American people can bestow
for nearly twelve years. He has used
thai office to govern by decree and
executive order setting aside the consti-
tuition and Congress which the men who
founded this nation created. Mr.. Roose-
welt has shown clearly and many times,
tina he holds the people of these United
States and their representatives in the
Congress in contempt. He has gone too
far.
1t is time for him to go.
