PASTOR ON THE RACE l'ROBLEM
Dr. Broughton Would Eliminate the Ig
norant Negro From Politics.
The Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton, pas
tor of the Taliecn-acle Baptist Church
of Atlanta, Ga., whose church was. par
tially wrecked by vandals as a result
of his seven, condemnation of the lynch
ing of Southern negroes, preacaed iat
evening in the Hanson Place Baptist
Church, Brooklyn. The subject of his
sermon was "Christian Citizenship."
In the course of his sermon he called
for the ali-solute elimination of the ig
norant negro of the South as a political
factor. This, he declared, would be
necessary licfore the race problem could
he settled. He would have the n-gro's
right to vote- taken away and not re
stored until the negro was qualified
from an educational nnd morn! point to
exercise the franchise.
Dr. Broughton further declared that
the negro wns most happy and pros
perous in the State of South Carolina,
where, he said, there was no lynching,
and to which there wns a steady exodus
of negroes from other States in I he
South. This condition of things in that
State, he said, wns due to the fact that
the negro was not a poli'1 f'"-tOT Ul
South Carolina.
He asserted that most of the uegro
voters of Georgia were wholly with
out a political conscience; that their
votes were sold to the highest bidder
without hesitation. Matters in this re
ypect. he said, would be no better there
until the negro could be brought to un
derstand the true value of citizenship.
Dr. Broughton. -when seen after the
service, said that he believed fhnt if
the ignorant negroes could be eliinina1
ed from polities- in the South the people
of 'that section would be agreeable to
n redistrlcting of the Congressiinnl rtW
tricTs according to the votes actually
cast, thus largely reducing the num
ber of Democratic districts. The great
question in the South slnc the civil
war .he said, had been the race ques
tion, nnd he gave it as his opinion that
ns soon as this problem, wns in a way
of being settled the white vo-e would
Ik. nliout evenly divided betve?n both
parties. New York Times. 14tn.
