any office-and cannot be because
of the legal bar and his age-he
has no conceivable personal inter
est in whether credit is given him
or not.
All of this makes it seem that in
1858 and 1860 the struggle between
the two parties for the Negro vote
will be intense and bitter. The evil
dence, so far as credit is concerned,
seems to favor the Republicans. Not
only is the Eisenhower sincerity
unquestioned but both Vice Presi-
dent Nixon and Senator Know

lamentable fact seems to be that if
the Negroes unite they can decide
any national election 1t is bad for
the country to be at the mercy of
any minority group, whether Negro,
or labor, or business. Concerning
the present issue some of the
Negro leaders understand the facts
and know who are their friends
Others are completely muddle-
headed and have no grasp on the
facts at all. But that is true of a
good many whites also.
s. IS
In New York, New Jersey, Cali
fornia, Illinois and Ohio the Negro
vote is sufficiently large to hold
the balance of power-if solicited
It is inconceivable that any PreSi-
dent could be elected without the
support of some of these states
There is significance, too, in the
fact that Negroes are registering
in larger proportion than whites.
For example, in Maryland, since
April in Baltimore 1880 Negroes
have registered compared with l.
AIS whites although whites out
number the Negroes by 3 to l in
the city.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1957-09-05

As this first session of the Eighty
/ fifth Congress closes, several things
become more and more clear. One
is that in the 1858 campaign the
civil-rights issue will not only re-
main alive but will plague both
parties-and a great many individ-
ual candidates-for one thing or an
other. 1t is, of course, compromise
act and as such is not wholly salts
factory to anybody.
:: - s.
In addition, this racial issue is
one that can never be solved COM
pletely by Supreme Court decree
or congressional action. 1t is the
deepest and widest gulf in the
world and it can never be really
bridged except by the passage of
time-and great deal of time at
that. Leaving entirely aside the
merits and dement's of this, the
greatest controversial question of
our time, and regardless of the
deep feeling it has engendered and
the strong convictions on both sides
that it has created, the thing that
is outstanding now is the political
effect it will have in the forthcom-
ing elections of 1858 and 1860.
From the close of the Civil War
to 1936-nearly 80 years-the Negro
vote in the northern and western
states was solidly and unshakably
Republican. In the South very few
Negroes voted at all. In 1886, a
clever, cOld-blooded and carefully
calculated coup, engineered by the
then National Democratic chair
man, James Farley and his friend,
Joseph Guffey, then Senator from
Pennsylvania, enthusiastically sup
ported by the late President Roose-
welt, the late Harry Hopkins, then
head of the Works Progress Adj
miniStration, succeeded in trans
ferring this basic Republican asset
almost wholly to the Democratic
party, thus making every Negro
vote count two.
:: - s.
The details of this plot-because
that is exactly what is was-have
been given in this space before 1t
is not necessary to repeat them now,
except to say that they largely ac-
counted for the size of the Demo-
cratic victories not only in 1886 but
in 1910, 1914 and 1948. Any analysis
of the figures will prove this. Since
1886 the Republicans have been
zealously striving to recapture the
Negro vote so vital to them in so
many vital states The Democrats
have been equally Jealous in their
effort to hold it, 1t is amazing how
clearly the figures show the COM
pleteness with which Democratic
claims of being the majority party
in the country rest on the Negro
vote-and how easy it is to demon
Strate that every Democratic vic
tory since 1886 has hinged upon
that vote
Every informed politician is fully
aware of this pregnant fact This
is why there is now so intense a
propaganda campaign, on both
sides, to claim credit for the new
law and to deny that the opposi-
ton had anything to do with it.
While it is true that both Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Truman were very
realistic about the Negro vote,
, neither fathered a civil rights bill
in Congress during his admins
tratiOn. 1t remained for Eisenhow-
/ er to do that. However questionable
his wisdom in that action, no one
questions his sincerity And, of
course, as he is not candidate for
