OFF BALLOT
Negroes Charge Republican
Bosses Defeat Purpose of
Independents.
MAKE APPEAL TO VOTERS
James R. Norrel, M. D„ and G. X. T.
Gray have issued a statement relative to
the affairs of the Independent Republican
party.
The statement follows:
Men and women of the negro race:—
We have just emerged from one of the
most remarkable suits ever waged In the
courts on behalf of our people.
We lost because the Illy white bosses
of the Republican party have decreed
that negroes shall only rote for white
candidates; that negro Republicans shall
not aspire to be candidates for elective
offices In Marlon County as long as
these bosses are in power.
The Independent Republican party. In
Us conception, was intended to force
the present-day bosses of the Republican
party to give to negroes the square deal
that Abraham Lincoln and the founders
of the grand old party Intended negroes
should have.
With that end In view an Independent
Republican ticket was filed with the elec- j
tlon board, as by law required, and
said board did place that ticket upon
the ballot, with such modifications as ]
the law permitted and ten thousand or I
more ballots were printed with our tlcketj
•n them.
Later on our ticket was ordered
stricken from the ballot by the Repub
lican members of the election board at
the command of Lily White Boss Harry
Hendrickson, chairman of the Marion
County Republican committee, the same
boss who ordered the Republican county

HIGH-HANDED
TREATMENT.
Finding ourselves treated in such a
high-handed and Illegal manner by the
I election board and its boss, we decided
1 to mandate the board of election com
missioner-: and compel them to place onr
ticket -upon the ballot.
i ioc iuy white boss at once employe!
the lion. Janies A. Bingham, former at
torney general of Indiana; the Hon.
Henry M. Downing, corporation lawyer
and professor in the Indiana Law School
of Indiana University, and the Hon.
Charles O. Roemler, another corporation
lawyer, to use their combined talent
to prevent onr ticket from being placed
upon the ballot to be voted for on Nov.
2, 1920, aud for three days the legal battle
was wnged against one negro lawyer.
So difficult was the problems presented
that the court said. In substance, after
the trial, that this case had caused him
more mental worry than any case that
had •■oioc before Idm.
We only know we were kept off the
ticket.
And so ended the first attempt of
! negroes in the North to place an In
! dependent Republic ticket in the field.
The ballot carries fire tickets and
three of them were filed under the same
law and In the same manner that the
Independent Republican ticket was filed.
The lily white Republicans allowed
those tickets to go upon the ballot for
the white constituents of those parties
to vote upon, law or no law; but negroes,
with their unbroken record of loyalty to
the party of the bosses; negroes, who
have lost all chance of consideration at
the hands of other parties, on account
of their loyalty to the Republican party;
negroes, who have swallowed promises
made and broken by their white lte- !
publican bosses for fifty years, those .
negroes may not have a chance to vote I
for members of their own race; those
negroes must be sandbagged Into sub
mission to the dictates of their bosses.
Compare this boat's actions with the
action of the authorities In Arkansas.
who allow a negro's name to be balloted
on for Governor of Arkansas.
Ben Tillman once said: “If negro
men were as courageous as negro women
the whites of tbo South would not be
able to humble them as they do.”
Will negro women of Marion County
vote for men who deny them and their
boys and girls their place in the aun?
Will they vote for rulera who ravish the
race of that which la as dear as virtue
the sacred right to the ballot for their
kind?
Negro men and negro women must
hear the truth, mar out; movement has
not been connected with the Democratic
purty and has had no financial backing,
the expense being borne by two mem
bers of the committee signing this; that
our ticket was not ruled out because of
a lack of legal signers or becuuse It
failed to comply with the law in any
respect. It was thrown out at the com
mand of a Illy white boss, and the court
refused to Interfere because es a tech
nicality so fine that we c-in't see It.
Right here we wish to nwid into the
record our most reapectful and fervid
criticism of the court's gratuitous ef
fort to read ug out of the Republican
party and brand us ns trying to set
up anew party—this is in the face .of the
fact that we point with pride (?> to a
lifetime of loyalty to the Republican
party, and in face of the fact that we
ure supporting all of the Republican
ticket, except the candidates of the Ma
rlon County Republican organization,
which organization Is opposed to a
square deal for every one.
It matters not if negroes are too ig
norant or too selfish or too cowardly to
acknowledge it, one fact Is paramount,
namely: negroes owe it to themselves snd
their posterity to vote for Republican
presidential electors, for the Republican
laudtdate* for tb>* Senate and the House
of Representatives, for the Republican
candidates for Governor and State of
fices, then scratch, scratch, scratch the
Republican county ticket, the sponsors
for which ravish negroes of tbo right to
x-eallze their worthy ambition to be men
and women in the highest and beat
meaning of those words.
Respectfully,
(Signed i
