Gillespie QCURUORRGRODTGEDASIRGRECGRGQUCERAESOTREESEUEE: SHOULD BILBO~S PREDICAMENT BRING PLAUDITS OR TEARS? ~ There is probably no one in the civilized world who has not heard of The Man, Theodore G. Bilbo, senator elect from Mississippi. His name has become synorymous with everything that is sinister, odious, vile and wholly repulsive. Strong men have come forward to crush him and have succeeded in doing so for the time being. We ask the question, should this bring from the thinking Negro plaudits or tears? We know in Detroit.~ what Bilbo is. We know what he stands for, but what about all of those in the north, and right here in Flint, who believe in everything that Bilbo stands for, but do not have the courage to openly say so? Bilbo~s downfall has come about because of political expe-! diency. We cannot say that the Republicans have anymore love for the Negro than Bilbo, that is if we base our assertion upon historicai facts, for we know that back in 1931 during th? Hoover administration, that Mr. Hoover personally persecuted Perry Howard, one of the biggest names in the Republican Party among Negrocs. Mr. Hoover charged Mr. Howard, with the terrible crime of being a dispense of patronage, nOtwithstanding the fact that patronage is the lifs blood of all pol:tics This was such a raw deal that the Mississippi judge that tried it was exasperated. Howard ws exonerated, Mr. Hoover was not a man to: be outdone. He believed that if Negroes were driver from the party that the whites of the south would come in. To implenrent this belief, he brought iurther charges against Howard. The judge got a chance to get over some southern philosophy to Mr. Hoover and all of his kind. Seshowed th2m that tha south always take care of its Negroes. Exasperated, Mr. Hoover gave it up for a bad job. Tne Republican high command is determined. to elect a Republican president next year. If they have to throw Bilbo and < few more of his kind to the dogs to do this; Mr. Hoover gave the most glowing example of what Republican. determination served nightly. Ernest Walker, L.
