C., , Monvmant 2*8764 SATURDAY MARCH 5, 1938 THE AIRPORT ELECTION - - For the first time, so far as we have any record, an important election in Durham County has been decided by a united vote of puor white people and Negroes. Suflfice it to say the airport bond election was defeated by the combined vote of those two powerful but lexharuic forces of this country. Not that many white people of ^ belter fmancial circumsUnces did not vote against the bond issue, ‘ but there were not enough of them voting against it to defeat it in such a decisive manner. ’ Whether the combining of the Negro vote with that of the poor white people was. acciden^il or incidental is not a question ^hich ^ we are attempting to dedbate In these columns at this time. We are however trying to call, attention of . our raaders, both iVhite and black, to the fittt that the condition of the working classes of both Taces can be made better by closer cooperation. The Negro and white tennant farmer, cook, bricklayer, carpen ter, factory hand, mala, nurse, .hod carrier, street sweeper, mecha nic and what not may as well avaken to the fact that the future of i»nc 18 wrapped up in the security of the other.

Theone thing upper most in his mind is BRQglT. : the sooner thesfe truths are learned by both white and black workers the sooner the lot of both will become easier, and the soon er those who control the wealth of the south will realize they can not forever raise the scarecrow *of "social equality."

Poor white people and Negrroes should ponder over t^em carefully and profit therefrom. Kelly Miller Says ‘ -•Oe- IS THE REIPUBLICAN OR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF DJCY the NEGRO'S BESrr FRIEND? TO. The apparent defeat of the Wagner-Van Kuys Anti-Lynching Bill under a DemArratic Admlnis- tmtion is certain to revive the ^UMtion as to whidh side of the political fence th?

The sorry spectacle which occurred , at one of the precient voting places is somewhat discouraging to ; uar . .... The record of the Carolma Times will show that it was an avowed opponent of the airport bond election; so this editorial can not be interpreted as an ^termath of having suffered a* defeat. On the other hand wet want it to be interpreted as being a direct thrust at those who would interfere with the exercise of the greatest oppor- » hum^n being living under, a- •damocratic form of government—^the right to vote. We do not know how the Ntegroes who were kept from voting wculd have voted; that in not the question; we wash to present be fore the bar of public dplHlSft. The one important thing is they were kept from voting after they had been duly registered. I-rom all indications a federal law has been broken, and there should- be no compromise on the part of Negroes in Durham con cerning this matter of prohibiting Negroes from-registering and votTngHI%e-«atter jdjould immedlatdy be placed in the federal • cpuits. - If Negroes can be interfered with-when they present themselves to vote in an airport bond election, they caii be interfered with when they present themselves to vote in other elections. It is not a' ^tter on what ^ide they intended voting, the one important thing vfe they were not permited to vote.

I know that my good friend, *^rry Howard, the arch Negro Republican, is al ready chiding the N6gpo Demo crats who deserted the standitrd of the G,. O. P. with the taunt "I told you so.” Six years ago, I > wrote the manifesto of the National Negro Non-Partisan League. In tihis po litical document I laid down fundamental principles that as issuA of - rcoonfltruotioR faded into the background, the difference in attitude of the two parties towards the Negro tends to disappear; that the South 2m States with a"" large Negro popu lation have an inherited and tra ditional unfriendly attitude con cerning the political and . civil status of the Negro, out of “liar mony with .the intent and pur pose of the fourteenth and fif- teeAfii Amendments; that merp party labels do not fundamentally affect this attitude; on the other hand, the Northern and Western states which wrote these Amend ments into the Constitution have ^spoused the idea whidh they em bodied; that the Southerners were called Democrats, and the North* emer Republicans, mark nominal ratiier than fundamenti^ distin ctions. I there stated that the D^mo«ra|s of ^ort^ wcra every white as favorable to the political rig^hts of the Negro as the (Republican of that section. On the contrary, lily white Re publicans of the South they are all lily whites down there—adopt the same racial attitude as the local Democrats. At the time this was written, th^re were comparatively few democrats ih the ^North. Since Hhen the Northern States have become almost unanimously De mocratic. (But the Northern at titude towards the Negro has affected by this shift of party dominance. Wagner and Van Nuys Democrats, are as sincere and genuine in pro^tihg Anti- Lynching legislation as Dyer, the Republican. In' fact a small bloc of South ern States dictates the National policy on the race question, it matters not whicb party is in pibwer at Washington. The bloc is jwt as eflFeetive mder a Re publican as under a Democratic administration. Hie determined opposition of the Southern States defeated the Dyer A^nti-Lynching Bill under Coolidge, by the same tactics which they are now resort ing to, to defeat the''Wagner-^ Van Nuys Bill, under Roosevelt’s administration. If anything they were more easily, effective when the (Republicans had an over whelming majority in both bran ches of Congress, than they !ro when the Democrats are in con trol of both houses.

Our belief is that the reason no genuine effort was HEALTH WEEK made to break the filibuster, was taiiiing white primaries, has there were na genuiae. the bases of disfranchising the Negro whenever the local white majority makes up its mind to do so. Under this ruling New York, Iowa or Mass. may exclude the Negro from the franchise by op erating their political machinery through white primaries, as well as Texas or Georpa. The laws forbidding inter-marriage b e- tween the races are in operation by twenty-nine out of forty-eight states, without let of liinderance of Federal authority. Hie louth by virtue, or rather by vice of its inherited and tra ditional race prejudice excludes the Negro from .public office. President Taft, gave national san ction to this Southern policy by laying down the dictum that* he would not appoint any colored person to office against local pro test and opposition.

As an indication of Just ho^ th« bill was actuallly regarded, we noted that the New York Times and Herald Tribune headlined the bill only when it was losing, once when it was temporarily sidetracked, and again when it vas definitely shel ved. So the anti-lraching bill was news only when it was being gotv ten rid of, and all the white foik apparently felt it was good rid dance. If this now defeat has taught us anytSiing, we think it has ^ught us that we must dbange our technique in our battle for manhood rights. Walter Whitt is right in that he seems inclined to the policy of fighting it out oh a definitely political basis. That is the only way we will win. We must quit depending on the good white folk to save us, for they will throw us to the wolves of prejudice and proscription every time, unless their own sfins mte in danger of being branded. Which means if we fight it out as a matter of poli tics, there will be~ some white ddns brmnded if they don’t tup- The Program of National Ne gro Health Week, April 9-W, has b^n released by the U. S.

One day a trader appeared without warning in the slaves' quarters, and the girl determined to make her escape. “I had reasoned this out in my mind,” she said years later, “that there was one of two things I had a right to—liberty or daath. If leouldn’t have one I’d have the other.” She started out with her two brothers, but th^ became aft-aid and went back to the plantation, for they had neither money nor provisions for the trip, nor com pass to guide them, nor a know ledge of the road which they must take, nor the intimation of a single person who would help them on their way. Harriet want on alone, with only the North star for a gufde, traveling on foot at night, and by day hiding in forests and swamps. “UNDERGROUND” WC»K ‘ Once.on free soil, ^e obtained work as a cook with families |knd hotels, and put by money her small earnings until she had eisough to go back South and bring a party of slaves. From tJiat time until the Civil War—a pe riod of about fifteen years—she regularly disappeared from New York State and reappeared after weeks or months with a group of fugitives. Inevitably she found the Abo lition movement and New perils were encountered on almost every journey. Once, she left a party of fugitives in the woods and went on alone to give a pre-arranged signal at the house of a free Negro. But dur-, ing her trip SotfKh, the Nefro had been driven from his home, ond a white man had been moved in to await the arrival of Harriet and her group. When the man o^ned the door in answer to HarftetTs *knock, she fted, and .conducted the fugitives to a swamp on the edge of the town. Meanwhile the alarm had been give», «n. d the slaves expected each moment to be recaptured. Towards evening, a man in Quak er dress came .walking towards the swamp, apparently in deep thougrht and talking as if to him self. "My wagon stands in the farm yard of a bam across the way,” he muttered. “The hoiye is in the stable. The-harness hangs on a nail.” POSTED REWARDS He left without waiting for a re^ly. At night the fugitives en tered the bam and found a well provisioned wagon in which they made the next stage of their journey.
