TOPEKA, Kan OcL 17. An appeal
to colored voters to enroll under the
banner of the Farmer-Labor party and
denunciation of the foreign policies of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties marked an address tonight by
Parley P. Christensen, Farmer-Labor
candidate for president.
It Is to laught to see the Republicans
groaning over the possibility that our
boys may have to lie In some more
trenches," he said. It is these self
same Republicans who are most eager
for compulsory military training. Mr.
Harding, too; tells us he is for a firm
policy in Mexico, without specifying
in particular which oil company he
means.
"The same imperialistic motives for
the benefit of Wall street animate both
the Democratic and the Republican
parties.
"And then there are those like Mr,
Wilson, who, as Artemus Ward once
remarked, 'Are willing to sacrifice all
their wife's relations' to make the world
safe for democracy.
"We in America should have better
taste than to talk of making the world
safe for democdracy, with our Burle
sons, with our Palmers, with our de
portatlons, with our lynchlngs. with
our many discriminations against our
colored brothers.
"The Republican party professes to
be the champion of the rights of the
colored people. They declare that It
waa the Republican party which was
instrumental in emancipating them and
they depend on this contention to swing
the colored vote. But it is obvious
to anyone with even peanut brains that
the Republican party of today resem
bles the Republican party of '61 in
name only. Can you imagine Wendell
Phillips and Garrison, abolitionists,
consorting with Penrose or Reed
Smoot?
"I maintain that the Republican
party is not entitled to the colored
vote, because its heart is not really
with their cause.
"I Invite the colored citizenry to con
sider the cause of the Farmer-Labor
party. I say sincerely that we are In
terested as they are In obtaining 100
per cent Justice for them. '
