INVITES RECRUITS To the Progressive Part\ —Says Nothing Can Be Gained By Re-L'niting With Republi can Party. Editor of The IJaily News : In your editorial of June 5 commenting upon my article of June 4, you suggested that by a coalition of Republican forces a better chance would be had of winning in the fall election, ar.d again in 101(5. From the standpoint of the old ! adage "in union there is stiength," and of your illustra tion that "two and two make four." I frankly admit you are correct: but from the standpoint of what I consider the real ; situation. vou are wronar. Respectfully do I say so regard ing North Carolina, and the entire south. If by adding two and two—as you suggest and making four, we then wouid have a majority, the case would le different, but seeing that we would still have So.UUD Dem ocratic majority against us in the state, what have we gained ? The Republican party has been united for many years, until the last election, but with few victories to its credit in North 1 Carolina or the south. This being the case it seems to me utter folly for those of us who really want political progress to f>:peet it at the hands of a reunited Republican party. Even if the Republican party, as a party, stood I'or all the progres sive It-relation desired i which it rots not), then it would not be wise tc continue the old name, i -no may ■ * why we make 1 his ; sserti >n V The? reason is simple: The rarie "Republican party" 1:: Iv i h..uuic.ippcd ever since the war bv issues (many of which it is true were false and i;r.a;;inary > that often detracted the alter.* of the peci !o from real issrt>. it has reemcd in • the past, and still seems to me, *.o he utterly impossible to rid it of these imaginary issues, or ghests, that have hung about its neck, and thus robbed it of the victory that to it often belonged. But for almost every disease there is an effective remedy: what then is the remedy for the above named malady? What. I say, should we do in order to build a real opposition party in the south, as well as the north? What we need is a party whose growth the thoughts of re construction will not retard; one whose welfare no race question can disturb: one that knows no 'north, no south, no east, no jwest, neither must it know a ! Mason and Dixon line. One in whose ranks there'll be no antagonism between those who (Continoed on page 8.) 22 4Q
