Southern Democrats
Should Look Before
4Leaping 9-McSwain
t
Negro Vote Put Iloovrr Over At
Kansas City, l.ocal Law
yer Orciarcs.
In a statement issued here
yesterday by Democratic lead
ers, Capt. Peyton MeSwain,
presidential elector and former
Cleveland county representative,
declared that there are ten
reasons why no Southern Demo
crat should vote the Republi
can ticket in November.
Capt. MeSwain was quoted as fol
lows :
•‘There are more than a thousand
reasons why a good Southern Demo
crat cannot afford to vote for Her
bert Hoover in this campaign And
we must remember that falling to
vote for Smith simply counts as one
more vote for Hoover. Surely our
memory is not so short, that wc
have forgotten the history of all
past and we are now ready lo give
aid and comfort to the party that
has been our enemy in the past.
Herbert Hoover is a Republican.
He is running for president as their
candidate. He stands for all the
things the Republican party stands
for, and has stood for in the past.
Least we forget, let us recall some
of the things ohe Republican party
stands ’or, and see if we should aid
and assist in the election of Hoover's
and the Republican party by failing
to support Governor Smith in this
campaign.
Hurt Farmers.
"First: The Republican party by
its failure to develop Muscle Shoals
and convert same into a fertilizer
plant has robbed every farmer in
the South out of from $20.00 to
$25.00 on every ton of nitrate of
soda purchased by him during the
past eight years.
"Second: During the past admin
istration the Republican party en
acted a law prohibiting the ship
ment of goods manufactured in
Southern mills outside the state in
which they were made on account
of labor conditions which they
claimed existed in the South. The
cotton mills of the South were sav
ed from this iniquitious legislation
by the supreme court, which declar
ed the law to be unconstitutional.
"Third: The Dyer anti-lynching
bill was sponsored by the Republi
can party in this last session of
congress and was defeated by a fil
ibuster in the senate by Democratic
senators. The Republican party has
endorsed this measure in its plat
form, which if enacted would bank
rupt any county in the South in
which a lynching occurred.
“Fourth: In 1890 the Republi
can party led by Henry Cabot Lodge
tried to enact a force bill upon the
South to enforce the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments. This bill re
ceived the support of every Repub
lican member of congress, and was
defeated in the senate by another
filibuster conducted by Democratic
senators.
Negro Equality.
"Fifth: The Republican party
forced upon the South the adoption
of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution.
Neither of which has ever been
enforced in the South because the
Democratic party stands for white
* supremacy.
"Smith: The national Republican
party does not believe in or practice
white supremacy. Anyone doubting
this statement let him visit any Re
publican state north of the Mason
and Dixon line.
"Seventh: Herbert Hoover abol
ished the segregation order in his
office in Washington and forced the
whites and the negroes to work side
by side in his office in ord<"r to get
the negroes negro vote in Ohio,
when he was running for the nomi
nation .for president cm the Repub
lican ticket.
Helped Hoover.
"Eighth- At the Republican na-1
ttotial conventim. where Hoove •was
nominated, there were fifty negro
delegates seated with the white Re
publicans. Ten negroes present a
alternates, and a negro on the plat •
form as reading clerk. A negro by
the name of John R. Hawkins was j
called to the platform and made a ,
speech seconding the nomination
of Mr. Hoover. Every negro present
in the convention voted for Howard.
A negro wa§ appointed on the com
mittee to notify Mr. Hoover that ne
had been nominated. And there
were also present in I hi;, convention
two negro women as national com
mittee worhen from their states Our
good Republican friends in North
Carolina do not believe in that kind
of stuff, yet they will walk up blind
ly to the. polls and vote for Hoover.
"Ninth: Mr. Dyer, Republican
congressman and author of the'
lynching bill, recently stated, "After,
the solid South has been blown to’
pieces by Engineer Hoover, our next
president, that will be the finish of
the nulhficatifnists of the South,
who have for sixty years violated the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments.” "Then congress will enact
enforcement laws that will give mil
lions of negroes their constitutional
rights as citizens and place them
on an equality with all other races."
If there is any North Carolina Dem
ocrat that agrees with Mr. Dver and
Hoover on this proposition, then he
ought to refuse to vote for Smith
and thus help elect Hoover.
“Tenth: Tammany Hall and the
Democrats of the North have come
to our rescue in every crisis and on
every occasion when we of the South
have been assaulted and threaten
ed by the Republican party of the
North. If we should fail to f tand by
the national Democratic ticket in
this election and thus cause the de
feat of Smith, then to whom shall
we look in the future for protec
tion?
"The Democracy of North Caro
lina and throughout the South
should stop, look, and listen before
it bolts the national ticket in this
campaign. The more we think
about it and the issues that are at
stake, the stronger we will become
for Alfred E. Smith and the Dem
ocratic party.’’
