Foa the first time I ima glne, a Democra- tlc national headquarters has iu4i t-4a Negro section. with eastern and western dlTfc. 8ioD8, manned by Negro leaders. designed to organise the Negro Tote and get It cast for the Demo cratic nominee for president. Such a setup has long been familiar In the Republican party organization. In the Democratic organization it is m novelty, and one with many Implications, many signs ' of the deep-reaching change which the New Deal has wrought in the his toric Democratic party and In America. . - ' - The effort of National : Chair man Farley and the other Demo cratic national leaders to capture and hold the Negro vote has been under way since 1932. In: the election of that year; the Demo cratic party passed Into control of northern leaders of the party to a degree that never existed before. all congressmen from the south were already democrats. But the number of northern Democrats In congress and in governorships was so greatly increased that 'the northern leaders now dominate the party. The south has come to have a minor -voice. These Unbeautiful Willamette EXCEPT in seasons of flood most people know the Willam ette river at Salem as a moat separating Salem from West Salem, crossed by a bridge. It is used a little for transport of logs or operation of a freight steamer to Port land which comes in and goes out so'quietly that few know whether it is operating or not The community uses the river as a source of municipal water from one end of town and as a carrier for its sewage at the other end of town. So far as the river's entering into that consciousness of the residents as other than a geographical fact the score is practically zero. ; The river is ignored; and very decisively, so far as the city ; is concerned "Beautiful Willamette" exists only in an old j poem which Sam Simpson, one-time editor of The Statesman, ' j wrote.- - . " ' 1 ' - Some day people will wake up to the possibilities of mak ; ing the river a real civic asset, on its course through the city. We speak not of it as an economic asset, thoughrthat should come in greater degree, but as a S beauty spot: and recreational feature." : )y,' ;;i;.;- .4 Most cities, it may be said, are located on rivers large or smalL The older cities have come to realize the value of improving river fronts. Salem residents who have traveled X? have seen what has been done in this way in some of those cities. At Columbus, Ohio, on the small Scioto river, the The number of southern Demo ?friver front has been made a real civic center. A wall; was I "ats elected to congress in 1932 rconstructed on the riverside. On the terrace a driveway, with an,d 1934 increased,; tor turn-around at the end . was laid out. Public buildings were erected in the area overlooking the water. The development transformed the district into a spot of beauty. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has made over an island in the Cedar river into a civic center, with a public auditorium land other public buildings in the center of an attractively landscaped and waterscaped area. A number of years ago the northern leaders determined that city of Des Moines redeemed the waterfront along the old g.h;irdd.0,t5S Des Moines river from a crowded and uncomely spot into a Democratic party dominant in the district now the City's pride. j A r , nation, it was desirable to capture What could be done with the Willamette here?

"The first glance showed oa that we must retreat to the foot hills; this we did as fast as we could, assisting our wounded along, leaving our dead as they lay. : V "b ' -Reaching the Umber, we found that seven of our comrades naa been killed and that seven more were so badly wounded that they could not stand up after we got them there. "The man on the horse we be lieved and it was soon proved had escaped and gone after the rest of the company. Our wound ed had retained their arms and ammunition.

Without golnr Into-the merits of any old and un happy Question, it may be accept ed as a pragmatic fact, that the whites of the south wlU resist this condition. - Throughout the south, as a whole, the number of Negroes who vote now is negligi ble. They are not prevented from voting. Nowhere today, I think Is there any law which attempts to deny the Negro his constitu tional rights. It is rather that the Negro is not encouraged to vote. Not to solicit the Negro vote. Indeed to discourage his vot ing. Is a principle and universal practice of the Democratic party ln the south. . This attitude of southern Demcorats Is now nega tived by the attitude of the north ern leaders who ,' dominate the party in the nation as a whole. The situation . contains many kinds of political and social dyna mite. One wonders if the Negroes as a race wUl be wise to accept the solicitation of their northern Democrat- leaders, to change the party affiliation and do it as a self-conscious mass action. The Negro has been self-consciously Republican for 70 years. True Republican leaders have long or ganized him and solicited him. just as the northern Democratic leaders are now doing. But that Republican affiliation since the Civil war has had a logical and sentimental basis. The mere act of change as a body, of shifting; tneir amiiation or a aeuoerata mass action, would call attention to the Negro ln politics ln a way that might not. In the long run, be to the advantage of the Ne groes or of the country. Political action taken consciously as a body by any group Is always a disturb ing phenomenon. The northern Democratic lead ers may be sowing seed which the nation may later harvest in grief. It Is well known that the New Deal stirs up class conscld"usness in the economic sense; President Roosevelt's own speeches are per meated with such appeals. How ever unfortunate appeals to eco nomic class consciousness may be, an appeal to race consciousness hai possibilities in more somber.

The Safely Letters from Statesman Readers NOT SPONSOR OR REFORMER ; Salem, Ore., August 6, 19 If The Oregon Statesman, Salem, Oregon. ; Gentlemen: I feel that your editorial In this morning's Statesman with refer ence to the marble board ordi nance introduced Monday night calls for a reply. As At Smith would say: "Let's look at the rec ord'? v, ? . In the first place, you jingle me out as the sponsor of the bllL I am a member of the committee which Introduced the ordinance. but I. had nothing to do with Its Introduction any more than any other ' member. . fcecona, you state mat I was elected on a "reform ticket." This is entirely erroneous. I was not given the support of any of the church groups, or others of like character, for one reason that be ing that nnder date of April 24th advised the "reformers" that II would support an ordinance li censing and regulating pin-ball machines. ; As I recall, your pa per and the Capitol Journal both carried statements by me prior to tne election ln which I stated that wonld support such an ordi nance. So, based on the record. I plead "Not Guilty to being -the sponsor, to being a "reformer, and to the Inference that I have changed my stand on this ques tion. - :-- - . Now. a short statement of the merits of tbe ordinance. These machines are being operated all over the state, right up to the Salem -city limits. - The last ses sion of the legislature legalized their use and authorised cities and counties to license the same. - No court has passed upon this statute. so we most assume that the same is constitutional. The money wUl be need to continue to abate a disgraceful condition, which your paper condoned by its support of the men directly responsible for said conditions. . Tou sponsored and secured the election of the majority of the elty officials who sat by and watched unlawful con ditions ln Salem, and now yon ob ject to the licensing of machines legalized by our legislature. - I submit that .your editorial does net appear to be ln good faith.
