Bid Made for Negro Vote
VICTOR COOLS APPOINTED MANAGER OF COLORED LA FOLLETE FOR PRESIDENT CLUB -- ENDORSED BY LEADING RACE ORGANIZATIONS (Special To The Leader Chicago, Ill., Aug. 8.--Mr. G. Victor Cools of Chicago has been appointed National Manager of the Independent Colored Voters La Follette-for-President Club, by Congressman John M. Nelson, National Manager of Senator La Follette's Campaign. Mr. Cools is eminently fitted for the position. He is a product of the Middle west, and is thoroughly conversant with the political suestions which are now before the public, as well as the reaction of the Negro Voters on on these questions. Although a native of the East he received his education in Illinois and Iowa. He is a Bachelor of Arts from Illinois and a Master of Arts from Iowa. In addition to that he is a member of the Co-operative League of America, The American Academy of Political and Social Science and the only Negro member of the American Economic Association. Mr. Cools has the indorsement of the following organizations: The National Negro Progressive League, The Non-Partisan Colored Voters Association and the Independent Col  ored Voters. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People whose secretary, Mr. James Weldon Johnson, made the nationwide fight for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, has come out in favor of the Third Party.
"I am in absolute accord," said Mr. Cools, "with Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, one of the foremost Negro scholars of today, who, in the August number of the Crisis magazine, editorially endorsed the third party movement. In the candidacy of Senator Robert M. La Follette, the peerless champion of the people's rights, the colored voters are given the first opportunity for a square deal. On the questions which vitally affect the well-being of the people of color Senator La Follette's stand cannot be questioned. He has stood the acid test.
When the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill came up for discussion in the House, Representative Nelson, the Christian gentleman and statesman, was one of the progressive leaders to support it. In the Senate, Senator La Follette did not only support the measure, but has consistently voted for all protective legislation in the interest of human rights and aspirations.
In the recognition and representation of the colored voters in their government, Senator La Follette has dared to mete out justice to them. At his request, Senator Shiptead recalled the committee in order to change his vote so that Walter Cohen of New Orleans, might be confirmed for the position of Collector of Port. This is the only representative position obtained by a Negro in twelve years. Roscoe Simmons, writing in the Chicago Defender of March 8, quoted Senator La Follette as saying: 'I must wrong no man.' said Fighting Bob, 'particularly no man fighting against the odds the colored citizens are compelled to fight against.'
"On the Ku Klux Klan question Senator La Follette has not remained silent as in the case of President Coolidge. Governor Blaine, running on an anti-Klan platform in Wisconsin, received the whole hearted support of the senator, and defeated his political friend of many years who dodged the issue. The colored voters are for Senator La Follette as well as all other candidates who has openly challenged the right of the Ku Klux Klan to govern the country.
"We solicit and welcome the support of all progressive colored people as well as those who feel that the colored people are not getting a square deal from the two old parties."
