The really violent personal
attack upon President Eisen-
hover made early this week
by Paul Butler. chairman OF
the Democratic National Com
mittee. and supplemented by a
spokesman for the National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People, wa!
revealing and significant.
This was not because Mr.. But
Ter carries much weight. He
seems in fact, a rather hot
tempered young man with a
not very clear idea Of political
realities
Nevertheless he should be
in a position to know the
practical problems of his party.
His frantic demand that the
President act upon the sugges-
ton of Adlai Stevenson to
Immediately summon a White
House conference of white
and colored leaders to con-
slider means by which the
Supreme Court antisegregation
decision can be fully enforced
In all the States, is an absurd
ity. It's futility is too obvious
to need stressing but 1t does
disclose the naive qualities of
Mr.. Buffers mind and throws
light upon a hidden sorrow"
of which the better posted
Democratic politicians are
keenly aware but about which
they do not like to talk-to
wit. the Negro vote in the big
pivotal States.
Hidden Sorrow"
To understand how keen is
this hidden sorrow" it is nee
essary to give a little history.
For more than 70 years the
Negro vote had been the basic
asset Of the Republican Party.
It was the most solid thing in
American politics. 1t just
could not be shaken. The
Democrats tried every way.
They early discovered that
Negroes could not be bought at
any price to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. They could be
and were - bought to stay
away from the polls. And that
was the way the Democrats
handled them up to 1886. The
details of what happened then
have been given in this col
umn before. There is no need
to repeat, except to say that
under the highly intelligent
James A. Farley and his
friend. ex-senator Guffey Of
Pennsylvania, enthusiastically
supported by the then Presi-
dent Roosevelt with the active
cooperation of the late Harry
Hopkins, then Works Progress
administrator, to say nothing
of the great Negro popularity
of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, a
plan was launched and so sue
cessfully executed that that
basic Republican asset was SO
per cent transferred to the
Democratic Party. And there
1t has stayed for 20 years.
To those fully acquainted
with the details this is re-
garded as the greatest political
coup in the whole history OF
American politics. The Re
