mediately after being elected to of,
flee.
They have been able to get away
with that in the past. Our memories
have proved as short as they played
them to be. We have failed ade-
quately to analyze records beyond
the two or three months just prior
to election and to take in the entire
period between one election and the
next.
The potency of the Negro vote
was graphically illustrated by the
results in the last Presidential cleo
ton in eight pivotal States.
The Republicans would like to re-
capture this "balance of power
vote" They once had it. They
know that in Maryland, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kentucky
and West Virginia, there are 1877
electoral votes. Roosevelt carried
them all. With these 1877 votes,
Dewey could have won the Presi-
dency by 286-245.
But if the Republicans want a
chance at this vote in 1948-even in
the Congressional elections of 1916
they should realize and do some
thing now about the monkey
wrench" Sen. Robert A. Taft per-
sists in throwing into the ma
chinery. He got away with his
political chicanery on the Federal
Aid to Education Bill in 1913, when
he threw all his support behind an
amendment to force the Southern
States by federal edict to spend
proportionate amounts on the edu-
cation of each white and Negro
pupil, knowing all the while that
the amendment would ALLEVIATE
Southern support for the bill and
kill it. AS soon as the amendment
passed, he threw his weight behind
recommitment of the bill to COM
mittee instead of behind it's pas
sage into law.
Now he has come up with a SINH
lar gesture. He has introduced an
anemic bill for a permanent FEPC
which turns out to be a mere in
vestigative agency. Nothing needs
less investigation or more firm &C
ton than this problem of discrim-
ination in America. But Taft's bill.
unless it is withdrawn, might easily
prove to be the death knell to the
prospects for obtaining a perma-
nent FEPC. Twill divide the sup
porters of the bill and leave the
Southerners in the saddle.
Taft is pretty smart. He has
properly gagged the Negro in Ohio
in the past. But now he has a new
thinking Negro to deal with in his
home state. And, he is also, now,

ship in the Senate. Negroes all over
the country will take his move
as that of the Republican party,
despite his statement at the time
of introducing his bill that he did
not want his bill interpreted as be-
ing the Republican Party's bill.
And Negroes are not unmindful
of the fact that on other important
issues, Republican support in the
House of Representatives has been
nullifed by a Republican-Southern
Democrat coalition in the Senate.
They appreciate the pledge of Rep.
Joseph Martin, Republican leader in
the House, given last week that he
will support an FEPC with enforce
ment powers. They appreciate the
sincere and effective support Of Re-
publicans like Clason and Dirksen
and Baldwin and Lafollette and
Vorys who are co-sponsors of an
FEPC bill with enforcement pow
ers.
But they will remember, too, that
anti-poll tax and anti-lynching leg
islation have passed the House in
recent years, only to run into luke
warm support and even opposition
of Republicans in the Senate. Taft,
himself, said the Republicans in
the Senate were against the anti
poll tax bill last year because they
did not think the federal govern
ment should interfere with the
Southern States. The result was,"
he confessed, Gin that case mere
show of filibuster just wiped the
thing off the carpet" ,
1t takes both Houses of Congress
to make bill a law, and Negroes
are just about starved to despera-
ton from getting only half the
loaf.
The members of the delegation of
Ohio citizens who conferred with
Taft a few days before he intro
duced the bill will not forget that
he said to them that the Repubi-
can platform was never intended
to mean FEPC with enforcement
powers. They will not forget that
he, himself, admitted to voting in
committee for an FEPC with en-
forcement powers prior to the cleo
ton, but with the understanding it
would not be acted on by the Senate.
The Republican Party needs to
take stock. They need to decide now
whether it is better to follow Taft
in his persistence on Republican
Southern Democrat coalition in
order to obstruct liberal legislation
in the Senate, or whether they
should live up to their pre-cam-
paign promises and pledges so as
to build a frmer footing in 1916 and
1948 and prevent "good Republi-
cans" from suffering for the sins of
their leaders.

choice!

favorite pastime Of New Dealers to
call anyone who opposes the Roose-
welt program a Fascist or a pro-
German. I am wondering if these
names, like the term liberal and
friend of the poor, are not becom-
ing little out-moded.
You are right in regard to
Henry's father. was born and
raised in the state of Iowa, away
back in the days of Senator VIM.
B. Allison, who stood for big bust
ness, and the days of Senator Jona-
than P. Dolliver, who succeeded him
as a leader for the state of Iowa,
a real progressive Republican of the
type of Teddy Roosevelt. The father
of Wallace established the Wallace
Farmer at Des Moines, a farm pa
per that has never had an equal.
He bought and owned farms all over
the state of Iowa and operated them
very successfully, both from finan-
cial standpoint and in a practical
way to develop the art of farming.
The old man died and Henry sue
ceeded him, and in the space of
few years the whole thing was
wiped out, a complete failure. He
then became eligible for a high
place in the New Deal. Granted
that during the depression of the
late 20's and early 30's many men
of wealth went bankrupt, neverthe-
less there were plenty of them that
went through this depression and
weathered the storm in spite of the
financial difficulties. These are the
types of fellows that want to hitch
my wagon to, fellows who can
weather the storm of adversely.
Now Henry is a good fellow to have
around. We need fellows of that
type on the outskirts, but they are
not the type to be trusted with the
spending of the United States tax
payers money. I think Wallace
wants to be a real friend of the poor
and the small business man, but he
just would not know how to accom-
plish anything to help them in a
position of responsibility. It is all
right to be idealistic, but one must
also be practical.
I notice Roosevelt now says he
is the friend of the small business
man, and he always claimed to be a
friend Of the poor, and yet during
his first eight years in office in
peace times, the little man was
driven out of business by the thou
sands because of his program. do
not know of a single big firm that
failed, although some of them might
have been somewhat crippled.
Neither Roosevelt nor Henry Wal
lace knows the answer in regard to
the little man. Wallace with his
wholly impractical ideas, in charge
of our funds would unconsciously
kill the little business man the same
as he killed the little pigs to bring
back prosperity, and that at time
when Roosevelt said one-third of
our people were ill fed. He would
pillow under the taxpayers money
even faster than he plowed under
the cotton, which was done at a
time when Roosevelt said one-third
of our people were i'll clothed.
These are the reasons why I am
opposed to Wallace, and I believe
