was either silent or these questions or dealt in
broad generalities.

All this was good ammunition. Why. then, did
the Republicans fail so miseraby TO win Negro
support! Primarily because their campaign was
hollow, transparent, and unconvincing Jim

bitter opposition Of army and navy brass hats.
Mr. Dewey's plea for permanent FEPC sounded
empty when his scuttling of bill TO create
New York State FEPC was recalled. Likewise
his advocacy of states rights gained him no
votes among Negroes, who realized that under
the doctrine the South would be permitted to
continue its discriminatory practice without fed
ersl intervention. The proposal for constitu-
tional amendment TO abolish the poll tax was
a transparent fraud. And every Negro knows
that his most hateful enemies are also the enc
mics of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, who
have tried to improve the status of the race.
Ineffective as were the efforts Of the Republi-
cans, there was need for an organized counter
campaign to clarity the basic issues. The DEM
