NEGROES LOOK WITH DEEP CONCERN UPON TREND OF POLITICAL EVENTS North Would Back Democrat For President Lincoln Civic and Political League To Meet Here August Sixth Political leaders and voters from all sections of the state are expected to gather here August 6th to settle upon a definite program of proceedure in the coming gubernatorial election. Several important questions are to come up at this meeting, which was decided upon at the meeting of the Lincoln Civic and Political League at Lexington, Ky., State Convention week. One of the most important matters to be settled on is the course to be taken on the candidacy of Wallace, the present Auditor, who is a candidate for Treasurer, on the Republican ticket. In his opposition to a colored man being appointed custodian directly after the Morrow victory Wallace let a committee of leaders know he was opposed to any "darkey" for the appointment; that none were fit. When reminded that he might need the colored vote again he replied, "I guess not." But he is up again and again he must have the Negro vote, that of a "darkey" that he feels is unfit to be head janitor at the capitol, if he is to be elected. Of course Wallace simply spoke a sentiment that is actually being put into action by the Republican machine in Kentucky, and though there are a large number of Negroes who are declaring vengeance not on Wallace alone, but on the party as a whole, it is left to be seen what will be done by the Negro leaders when they meet here August 6, and then what election day in November.
