confirmation of Elmer Davies o*
Tennessee had been slipped thru
the Senate July 12 by a trick o

“Botlj President Roosevelt an*

Mr. Davies belonged to ttbe same

Tho N.A.A.C.P, learned on July
7 that the nomination of Davies
would be likely to come before the
Senate July 10. Davies had ap
peared before the Senate judiciary
committee July 6 and adimitted
that he had been a member of

' '-n end °sking ‘hem to vote a
gains: confirmation:
On July 12 Senator McKellar o'
Tennessee interrupted a speed 01
the floor to ask unanimous cor
sent to the confirmation of Davie
since he (McKellar) would hav
to leave in a few nrnutes to a‘
tend the funeral of a congressman
No objection was made althoug
the nomination was being consider
ed out of its regular turn. 1
was passed
Later in the day when the Se
nate weot into executive session t
consider nominations, Senator W
Warren Barbour of New Jersej
moved to request President Roose
velt to send the confirmation bank
to the Se*iate for reconsideration
Mr. Roosevelt replied that the re
quest had come too late inasmuch
as he had already sent the commis
sion to Mr. Davies to be judge.
The jpb is for life.
Senator Barbour then placed in
the record his protest against the
confirmation and stated that he
was certain many other senator
also objected Senator Ashurst of
Arizona stated he was also oppos
e,! to the confirmation and felt
suro others were also.
“The trickery in this appoint
ment is so raw that no senator and
no responsible members of the De
mocratic party can explain it sat
isfactorily,” the N.A.A.C.P. state
ment declared. “President Roose
velt and Attorney General Mur
phy both had affidavits on Davies
in their hands months ago. More
than 60 senators had information
on Davies in their hands two days
before the vote came up. The last
word in trickery was the move of
Senator McKelar to have this mat
ter take up out of turn. The inci
dent is certain to be remembered
by Negro voters in 1940. Amer
ica cannot preach about intoler
ance and bigotry to the rest of the
world and then elevate to a life
time jtfb on one of its federal ben
ches a man who joined and con
tinued to be a member of an organ
ization dedicated to intoleranoe.
This is the type of man who will
be interpreting the laws for the
citizens of the United States.
There is no alibi in this matter.

The Women’s
Voice
The appearance of “The Wo
men’s Voice” a national women’s
magazine, publshtd monthly in ad
vocacy of Republican policies has
me; with primp' approval cf stal
wart party leaders from John
Hamilton down. On *,ie ether
hand the oppositio nfr.m Demo
crats was no surprise.
The women frankly declare:
“While “The Women’s Vofce”
is partisan in pol'tical "ratters, it
seeks to be fair. Wo fly no doubt
ful flag and disdain to comou
flage our purposes in an effort
to attract the unwary. . .
“The women of the United
States want peace at home and a
broad. . .
“We want Liberty and Freedom
preserved. . .
‘ For the poor, the weak, and the
defenceless, we want all necessary
aid extended.”
Partisans of any political faith
will doubtlessly agree as to the
soundness of the foregoing issues.
The admitted fundamental differ
ence would perhaps be only a var_
iat!on in the method of arriving
at the same goal.
The Republican women through
national campaign organization
have opened the 1940 campagn.
“The Women’s Voice” will be
heard in per uasion and propagan
da. Whether one be Republican
or Democrat, he will recognize the
value of united efforts of til:is type
by colored wctren. The magazine
and the cause it espouses can be
productive of much good
