Fear of Negro Rule Shapes Tariff Beliefs in South
In a Sunday interview Senator Shelby M Cullom argues that fear of colored men in office keeps Southern voters in Democratic camps, while supporting protective tariffs. He says blacks should have civil rights and citizenship equality, and that sectional misinterpretation obscured his stance. The South, he adds, desires tariff protection but fears domination by African Americans. Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas are cited as coal, iron, and other industries needing protection, yet political leanings are constrained by the race issue.
