Borah—What Docs He Stand For?
By Louis L, Redding1—Reprint from The Crisis, March 1930
li would seem from this analysis of the senator front
Idaho, that Negro citizens can place little dependence
in him nr, n, statesman and none at all in him ns n man
having any conception of the hopes, ambit ions and rights
. of Negro Americans
Hot and Cold on Woman’s Vote
Upon no question lias Borah given a more convincing dis
play of reaction r.nd a more corffounding exhibi'ion of his cha
nteleon-liUe variabiulity than upon (he question of woman stiff* |
rage. On February 21, 1910, lie introduced in the Senate a reso-!
lution proposing tlutf the (1oiistjiiUtion he amended, to provide |
that ihe right of citizens to vote should not be denied or abrid- |
ged on account of sox. lie did not state ,t|hat his introduction of
tin* resolution was only by request 'and without prejudice to his'
personal attitude on the questaion. lie did not explain he was
not in favor of such an amendment The wofen of Idaho, his
adop.ed state, then Mad suffrage. The natural implication was
that lie flavored the resolution. Later in October, 1913, in a
speech at Newark, New Jersy, he declared:
“ I do not, know of a nobler, more effectual, ft more respect
ed and refined power in the whole arena of social forces, and a
more womanly woman, than the woman of today who is giving
her thought and her purpose, her invincible moral courage, in
dealing with the social problems and social reforms with which
in the future we ninst contend more and more.„.And why
withold from ,t,his woman engaged in so noble an enterprise
the ins rumentiality by which she can effectuate what her brain
and purpos,, have planned ad outlined?”
Yeo in 1914, when the woman suffrage amendment came
before the Sennit1, he opposed it. Later, in 1918, he apparently
reversed his position and at nti interview with suffragists prom
ised to be bound by tbg state platform of the Itepublean Party
in Idaho, which bad previously endorsed ,tihe amendment. At
that interview li(, wrote out a statement, presumably for use by
,the siiffritfuists, ms follows: et.aoi linrdl slu’d
We have talked over the hutlrage situation with Senator
Borah and our understanding from .t,ho intlerview that lie will
carry out liis platfprm and vote for the Suffrage Amendment
if re-elected.
When the A'otc on the Amendment was taken in 1 ho Senate
in 1919, BodraHis vote was “Nay.” This vote, after his promise,
seems a specific bit of mendacity impossible to palliate.
Justification of his blow-hot-blow-cold advocacy of suffrage
for women Mr. Borah posited otn (1) the doctrine of local self
government and (2)the antagonism of the South ,to Negro suff
rage as exliibited in the south-wide nullification of the 15th
Amendment. When the women suffrage amendment was being
debated in ,t,he Senate in 1914, he acknowledged his deference
to that antagonism in the following words:
The thing which confronts me as a practical proposition in
regard to this method is the insurmountable and impassable
barrier which stands betwteen the women and suffrage so long
bathe Negro vote in this country is as it is. There are 16 States
in the Union that will never ratify this amendment so long as
the Fifteenth Amendment iR in the Constitution.
After thm propliey, characteristically bad, he continued:
We had just os well be caadid and fair about tihis proposi
tion—.Why should the women in this country who want to
vote take upon their shoulders ,t,lie race question in their fight
for enfranchisement?
Again when the Amendment was before the Senate in 1919,
he cur.tesied low to the South’s hostility to Negro suffrage:
Let me ask my friends upon this side of the Chamber, whbn
guaranty is written into tin* Constitution, which gives to from
two and one-linlf to three million Negro women the riglift to
vote in the South and giv^es you tlile power to see that the pro
vision is carried out, do the men on this side of the Chamber
(the Republicans—TEd.) propose to see that, this is dona? Do
yon propose .to put the South under Federal control ns to elec
tions? If you do, you will have a great taslc, which you seem
lightly to contemplate—
Tho South has her heavy burden to carry. I do not propose
to add unnecessarily to the weight of that burden.
To impose upon the Southern States a rule for local affairs
for which they are not prepared and which they do not want,
simply because we have the voting power to do so is Prussianism.
