Mr.. Murray's last-minute appeal
to the committee not to sidestep the
racial discrimination issue served to
emphasize again the major part
that question is playing in the prep

instead it should be conferred upon

Representative Fay, Democrat, of
New York went before the commit

Another development yesterday
was the telegram sent to President
Roosevelt by Edgar G. Brown. di-
rector of the National Negro Coun-
Gil, which read in part:

The controversy over a constitu-
tional amendment on equal rights
for women also went on yesterday,
with Secretary of Labor Perkins ap-
pearing against that method of
correcting what she described as the

Secretary Perkins also undertook
to clear up the conflict that de-
veloped Monday over the attitude
OF Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt toward

NEW YORK, July 19.-Dean AL
fange. leader of the Liberal partv
said tonight the Democrats might
lose New York's AZ electoral votes
and the presidential election unless
the Democratic National Conven-
ton renominates Vice President
Wallace.
President Roosevelt carried New
York by 225,000 votes four years
ago, Mr.. Alfange said in a radio
address. adding that $4,000 New
York workers meanwhile had mi
grated to war industry areas and
that many soldiers would not vote
under the State. ballot plan.
The slightest liberal detection"
in New York State, Mr.. Alfange con-
tinued. would be disastrous to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
The Liberal party, formed by
factions which broke away from
the American Labor party, sent a
telegram to Robert E. Hannegan,
Democratic national chairman. as
serting reputation of Mr.. Wallace
would jeopardize New York's cleo

Mrs. Roosevelt had written January
20, 1914, saying she was making no
statement on the issue.
Secretary Perkins told the COM
mittee yesterday that Mrs. Roose-
velt's January letter declining to
express an opinion was written at
time when the issue was being con-
sidered by Congress. Later, accord
ing to Secretary Perkins, Mrs.
Roosevelt wrote to Mrs. McAllister
on July 9, saying she still stood by
the statement she made in 1910 on
the equal rights amendment.

Byrd Backers Hail

ITO Votes Claimed
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 19.-Virginia's S
delegation to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, overwhelmingly
for Senator Byrd and inclined to
follow his leadership on all issues,
played its cards close to the chest
today and watched developments.
The delegation was uninstructed
on any point except to oppose re-
nomination of Vice President Wal
lace. but leaders agreed If and when
promised Byrd votes for President
come through from revolving"
Southern States, Virginia could take
no other course than join. Senator
Byrd had nothing to say other than
commenting, on his arrival yester-
day, that Mississippi's decision to
cast its 20 votes for him came as a
surprise, and reiterating his asser-
ton that he is not a candidate.
Byrd Has ITO Votes.
Some Of the Senator's close as
sociates expressed belief that he
would seek to prevent formal nomi-
nation.
Presently indicated votes for Sem
ator Byrd totaled approximately
ITO. including Virginias.
Concrete indications as to the
delegations future moves may de-
velop at the first caucus scheduled
today.
John U. Barr, organizer and pro-
moter of the Draft Byrd for Presi-
dent movement, hailed yesterdays
developments as good news for all
Byrd drafters and millions of Amer
leans.
This is only the beginning" Mr..
Barr said. predicting further fruits

Gratis"
Two Objectives in Sight.
Now that Senator Byrd's name is
sure to come before the convention,
he said. lit is possible that Mr..
Roosevelt will be able to. realize

life. 1 am certain that President
Roosevelt would be the first to agree
that Senator Byrd would be a ca
pable and genuine Democrat in

ROOSEVELT AND HIS PUBLIC SERVICE

in the future. 1t is true that
there are good points and traits
in any individual, or any public
servant. and this is certainly
true of Mr.. Roosevelt. 1 do not
doubt that Mr.. Roosevelt, out
side the Democratic Party might
be fair administrator, provid-
ing he was surrounded by the
right-thinking supporters. But We
are convinced that to continue
Mr.. Roosevelt and the Democratic
Party for another four years
would be a grave mistake for the
nation, and the worse possible
catastrophe for the group with
which. | am identified.
What has Mr.. Roosevelt. as a
Democrat, done for the Negro il
the past? As governor of New
York State we find no evidence
of a Negro being placed in an
executive position. OF course
there were r1enial laborers, and
Mrs. Roosevelt then as now,
spoke of her Negro servants. But
is that all we want?
AS President of our Nation Mr..
Roosevelt has made some APP
pointments, but what have these
appointments amounted to? These
appointees are mere "stooges, "
who have no real voice in direct
ing the affairs of our Nation
They have offices, yes, but they
are located outside the inner
circle, and on the perimeter oil
affairs they get only Negro
cases which are referred to them
