See Secretary IckesOpening New DealDrive On Negro

NEW YORK—(C)—The play-upof Secretary of the Interior Ickes’speech before the N. A. A. C. P. inBaltimore Monday night is regard-ed by Harlem politicians as the o-pening of the Democratic campaignamong Negroes. It is noted thatthis is the first time in historythat a cabinet officer hasopened a Democratic drive amongNegro voters. Republican Negroleaders are busy looking for weakspots in the Democratic armorwhere they will hit back. Ickes’congratulating the race on its “pa-tience” atid “willingness to wait”on the white man’s own time forbettering conditions, is a weakspot, they say.

A LESSON ONTRAFFICLAWOBSERVANCE

A great number of motoristsseem to labor unaer the impres-sion thqt issuing a traffic viola-tion ticket is a personal matterwith a policeman. This is entirelyan erroneous assumption. Thepoliceman is working on the pro-mise that the particular violationin question is either an unsafeact, and likely to cause injury tosomeone, or is an act that willseriously interfere with the ex-peditious movement of traffic. Itis not for him to determine howyou shall drive, but rather to pre-vent if possible actions that areunsafe, or bring trangressors ofthe traffic law to a court of jus-tice.

Traffic laws are subject to thesame consideration as all otherlaws, are passed by the same gov-erning bodi/s, and should be sup-ported and obeyed with the samedegree of loyalty as any otherlaw.

Quite often, we, as individuals,disagree with the law makingbodies as to the necessity of cer-tain regulations, but rememberthere is always two sides to a question and they hear both sides. .

An open minded study of thetraffic law will convince anyonethat they should encourage ratherthan ridicule an Officer who isenforcing regulations.

These suggestions to motoristsare issued by the First PrecinctSafety Officers of the DetroitPolice Department.

MITCHELL’SSPEECH WINSDEM. FAVOR

(Continued from Puge 2)no lawful right to do so, and I 1have no Inclination to do so.”’ j

1 want to read you a plank fromthe Republican platform in 1860:

“That the maintenance inviolateof the rights of the States, and es-pecially the right of each State toorder and control its own domes-tic institutions according to itsown judgement exclusively, is es-sential to that balance of poweron which the perfection and endur-ance of our political fabric de-pends; and we denounce the law-less invasion by armed force ofthe soil of any State or Territory,no matter under what pretext, asamong the gravest of crimes.’”

I say again there is absolutely

from the party that you have neveraffilated yourselves with or at-tempted to work with.” Thatopened my eyes, and I immediate-ly began to work for the Democra-tic Party and to bring into theDemocratic Party as many of mypeople as I could. In 1932. whenFranklin D. Roosevelt sought thePresidency of the United States, Iwas chosen by the National Demo-cratic Committee to trail Mr. De-Priest, my predecessor in office,to speak for the Democratic Partyeverywhere that he spoke. Duringthat campaign we were able tobring to the folds of the Democra-tic Party 60 per cent of the Negrovote in those States where Negroescan vote. (Appiause on Democra-tic side.) It is no longer true thatthe Republican Party has the votein its vest pocket, and they arelearning that is not true.

TEX. CHARGE WHITE PRIMARYSPURS NEGRO VOTE BAN

no truth in the statement that hewas elected to free the Negroslaves. It might have taken theNegro a long time to find out thetruth, but, my friends, the vote inIllinois last Tuesday by the Ne-groes tells the Republican Partythat it no longer has that vote inits vest pocket. (Applause).

I think you will be interested inhearing an experience of my own.About 1928 I went to a great Demo-cratic leader in this city and said,“I want to know what will be theattitude of the Democratic Partytoward the Negro voters in 1932."I could see that the political situa-tion was changing and that theDemocratic Party was marching topower; dumb and unacquainted asI was with politics, I could seethe stupendous blunders theRepublican Party was making, andthat the American citizens wouldnot stand for it.

So I went to see this gentlemanto talk to him about the considera-tion of that party to the Negro,and I believe you will bear withme when I quote the exact con-versation that took place betweenus. I said to this gentleman, “Ihave come over to find out whatattitude of the Democratic Partywill be toward the Negroes in1932.” He looked at me and said,"I am glad to talk to you aboutthat subject.” We were both seat-ed in his office over here in theNational Press Building. He said,"To begin with, I say to you thatthe Democratic Party does not owethe Negro a damn thing.” I stoodthere, almost ready to sneak outof the office, because I did notknow what was going to follow.I am merely quoting the words thegentleman used. Before I couldsneak out of the office, he turnedand said, "The Republican Partyowes the Negro a hell of a lot, andwill not pay him." He continued,“Now, politics is a cold-bloodedbusiness. For 50 years the Re-publican Party has had the Negrovote in its vest pocket, and havenot you learned that nobody triesto catch the fish that he has in thebasket or in the pail? When wego fishing, we go after the fish inthe pond, those that are in thelake or the river, and as long asany party can boast that it hasthe Negro vote in its pocket, youmay expect no consideration fromthat party, and you can expect less

Waco. Texas —The Waco Branchof the National Association forthe Advancement of Colored peo-ple has released the text of a let-ter to National Chairman James A.Farley of the Democratic Nation-al Committee urging: him to take“under immediate consideration”the contradictions between the Na-tional Democratic platform andthe action of the Texas StateDemocratic convention barringNegroes from the party’s primaryelections.

The letter signed by AttorneyR. D. Evans, president of theBranch, and James H. Giron, itssecretary, warns that “If the StateDemocratic Convention can by re-solution legally bar colored fromvoting in the primary election be-cause of color or race alone, it cango further and bar them from vot-ing for Democratic nominees inthe General election, both beinglegal elections. For the same rea-son and by th same method allother parties can do the samething and thus nullify the Four-teenth and Fifteenth Amendmentsto the Constitution.’ '

Summarizing the legal historyof the white primary fight inTexas carried on for a decade bythe N. A. A. C. P and quoting thefederal statutes outlawing thecolor bar in all elections, the letterpoints to the support given theNational Democratic ticket in

1932 and 1934 by Negroes andwarns that the continuance ofanti-Negro discrimination bySouthern States Democratic orga-nizations will "wield great in-fluence on the Negro vote, North.East and West in the generalelection in November.”
