Abstract

"My Dear Senator"
Villard, Oswald Garrison | April 30, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

More than seventeen U.S. Senators are already on record as opposing the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker because of his views on the colored race. But the author takes greater pride in this showing if it were not for the fact that many of these Senators are up for reelection next fall, and that they come from States where the Negro vote is now so large that they fear the loss of the election if the colored people should take it into their heads to rise in rebellion against the Re- publican Party. In other words, the author shall be more impressed if people, in which States there are few Negroes, oppose confirmation.
