Negro Leaders Plan Independent Negro Presidential Candidate
3200 Elks delegates meet in Chicago on Aug 24 to nominate a Black candidate, likely Louis Anderson, aiming to pressure Republicans and Democrats for recognition. Key figures Robert R. Church and Roscoe Simmons brief Hoover, while charges of anti Negro bias and misgivings about Governor Smith and Senator Robinson color Democratic courting. Negro vote totals by state include New York 65000 and Illinois 260000, with Tennessee and Kentucky historically close.
