PRICE TWO CENTS DEMOCRATS USING j RACE1SSUET0W1 DOUBTFULSTATES Problem Accentuated by Colored Nominations, Suffrage and , Wartime Migration MARYLAND NEGRO OPPOSES REPUBLICAN FOR SENATE Mayors of Baltimore and Cleve land Follow Opposite Policies in Giving Out Jobs j By CLINTON W. GILBERT- 8tsn rorrrapondtnt Evenlnit I'uMIe li&xv CojuHofcf. 180. 01 TuMlo Ltdper Co. Chicago, Oct. 20. Tho Dcmocratt- liave injected the racial Issue into this- campaign to an unusual extent within the last two weeks. The result has been the tlghtenlrg up of party lines in tho border stntes and "also, to a certain, ex tent,; In Ohio nnd Indiana. Harding's chnnces of enrrying states like Mary land, Kentucky. Missouri and Okla homa have been somewhat lessened. Several circumstances have helped the Democrats In the raising of this lsue. ' The running of negro candidates for the United States Senate and for members of state lcglslotures has di rected public attention to the racial issue in two states. Woman suffrage, by giving the negro wnmpn thp vote, hns aroused race" con sciousness In the border states and in Ohio and Indiana. Moreover, the' in creased negro population in states liko Ohio and Indiana, due to the migration of colored persons during the, war, seek ing employment in northern industries, has mad tho negro more of a political issue in such stntc3 than ever before. Compete for Houses and Jobs The competition of the two races for houses nud jobs is being felt. In Ohio und Indlnna industrial centers one hears complaint that since the present let down in Industry negroes have been kept in employment when whites were 'dis missed. All in nil, there is a degree of race-1 consciousness iu northern states which never existed before and whicii, ;pr. haps, contributed to ibo race rloU tot, last winter. The Democrats havespeett slow to take advantage of this situation. ' but In the last fortnight they haw raised the race issue in circulars and speeches. Probably they bavo won tome votes, but not enough to change, tho result, except possibly in states' which were extremely close. In Ohio there are six negro cafldiji dates on the Republican ticket -for ftf, state Legislature, threo in the city Cleveland. .Negro newspapers threat trouble for the itcpuDiicaii party If tlipso candidates arc cut. TI.a TlomnnrnMp nnrtv about tw6 weeks ago sent to the voters of Ohid; . i l ...nrJ in tlio rnr issue.' Mavor Davis, of Cleveland, Is tho Re publican candidate for governor. Clevq- land had had n large influx of negroes, who had employment In its factories nnd Maor D.'vis appointed many to jobs In the city ndminlstrntion. t Colored Appointees Listed The Dcmocrntlc elrculnr in Ohio list, thp negroes nppointed oy Davis, to- this is to indicate what the state may p0Ct j the wnv of employment ,of i llPSl0es in statp jobs if Davis is elected., The circular also contains extracts from, the more radical negro papers ot unio, upon the rights of the negroes. The increased numbers of negroes in Ohio lias raised new social questions. The courts hnvo many cases of negroes suing proprietors of moving-picture the atres for refusal of admittance to their tlipntrps. Public sentiment iu Ohio Is, still such that these wilts are generally successful. But the real political sentiment of Ohio is, perhaps, best indicated by the refusal of the otori to strike out tho word "white" from the constitutional qualifications for voting. The old con stitution contained the provision that only male whites could vote. When tho constitution was revised, a few years ago, the word "white" was stricken out as being opposed to the federnl con stitution, but on a referendum to the voters it was retalneft. ' Rultimnrn Negroes Ignored In Mar land, the Republican mayor of Baltimore followrd exnctly the op posite policy from thnt of Mnyor Davis, of Cleveland, nnd refused to give the negroes what they regarded ns their faltf snnie oi mo jous in tne city ueparx- a '"Y" The result is that some neeroes In Maryland had broken awuy from the Republican party and have put in the field n colored man, Hawkins, for Culted Stntes Senate. Hawkins is likely to receivo from 8000 to 10,000 negro votes nnd ho may causa the de feat of O. E. Weller. Republican candi date for the United States Senate. Hawkins' candidacy gives point to tho anti-negro campaign of,the Democrats. Tlio race issue was raised in Okla homa during Senator Hardiug'n recent visit there bv n question addressed to, lilm by the Dully Oklahoman. Hard ing nnswesed the question, which waft enough to givo prominence to tho issue To save Kentucky for Cox and Sena-i tor Beckham, tho Democrats turned to the raco issue about two weeks ngo. In' Kentucky the nddition of negro women, voter hns sharpened tho race issue. The southern stntes generally were op posed to woman suffrage on tho ground that it would give negresscs the voteA Colored Wonwn Unlikely to Shirk And it is generally agreed every where that do matter what tho white women do, every ncgress entitled to vote will go to tho polls. There is little doubt that the public in boUi Tcuuessco nnd Kentucky were opposed to the suffrage amendment and xtha presence of negresscs at tho polls on election day is likely to affect adyently Republican chances of carrying Ten nessee and so breaking the solid South, States like Kentucky and Tennessee ' have not adopted the so-called grand father clauses iu their constltutlpn and ullow the negro to voto nnd count his vote. Equal suffrage there is likely tn givo Impetus to a movement to restrict suffrage along tho lines adopted by tbi southern states. Tbt race Issue, if it should develop to this extent iu thu border states, Is likely to mako them as surely Democratic us the states fur--ther south. 3avW2ftf; 'Si vl J 1 t i w.l if 31 -fU w -4 ."
