THE KETf TOKK AGE PAGE TDlcB i "i i I Ex Policeaan Scroggins Defends Leader Murray Ex Policeman Delancy N. H. M. Scrogeins of the 21st A hv. ing at 149 Edgecombe avenue, is out in a strong pronunciaxnento, taking exception to the fight being made upon Democratic Leader Murray by Eugene Mcintosh.

Mr. Scroggins points out that Leader Murray has had only one year ot service and that during that timej he has shown himself to be a leader of capacity and has been of great service to the community. The letter from Mr. Scroggins is as follows: Editor of The New York Age: We are raoidlv moving into a bitter political struggle in Harlem. Various accusations and re criminations are already in the air.

folitical preferment prestige and Power are being sought on every hand by various personalities, parties and factions. It is certainly encouraging to note that colored Harlem is astir, is awakening and is thinking about its future political destiny. Of course, there are wide differences in opinion as to what that destiny is, and the party, person or measure to support, and tuis is as it shoukl be. I therefore, wish to emphatical ly register my exception to the po sition taken by Mr. hugene intosh, who has set out to capture the Democratic leadership of the 2lst Assembly District from its present leader.

F. Murray. Certainly no one can kill him for wanting the leadership, but I disagree sharply with the basis of his attack upon the present incumbent And from the point of view of a community benefit which in the last analysis, should be our chief consideration, I seriously doubt that Mr. Mcintosh would measure up to the standard set by Mr. Murray.

The only logical and fair method of judging a claimant's eligibility and availability for an office is to examine his record. What do we find with respect to Mr. Murray? First, let us be sportsmanlike and take into consideration the fact that Thomas F. Murray has only had one year to set forth the value of his leadership in the 21st Assembly District. Is there any one who will honestly contend that this is ample time for a leader to develop and execute a compre hensive program? Not at all.

And yet. under the able leadership of Mr. Murray the Chicopee Democratic Club of the 21st District prominently figured in the nomi' nation and election of two Ne gro judges, Hon. Charles E. To ney and James S.

Watson. Any sound analysis of the electorate of Harlem will show that without the loyal support of the Chicopee Club, which embraces a large con tingent of white voters, the above mentioned judges could not have been elected. Besides, neither Mr. Murray nor Tamany Hall, made any reservations about supporting the colored judges because of race or color. They were nominated and elected as Tammany judges and voted for by white and colored democrats alike.

This is as it should be. Nor is this fight for Judges Watson and Toney by leader Murray all, although even Mr. Mcintosh, including Republicans, must eon cede this to be a man sized and creditable job. Thomas F. Murray has shown his deep and sympathetic sense of community needs by his big hearted and generous donation of over 400 Christmas baskets to the needy poor.

This reveals the fine humanitarian side of the man, manifest during the nard depression ot the winter, tol lowing soon after his installment as leader. This unselfish spirit and attitude toward the under onvi leged of the community should commend itself to friend and foe. He is now throwing his wide influence, energy and power in Tammany Hall behind Counsellor John W. Smith, who has received the designation of the Chicopee Uutt tor Alderman of the Zlst AI dermanic District and be it said to the eternal credit and honor snd broadrmndedness of the white democrats, they support a colored nominee of Tammany's with at much loyalty and regularity as they do a white nominee, for any on ice. Now what can be said for Mr.

Mcintosh aspirant for the leader ship'against Mr. Murray. First, his attack npon Mr. Mur ray springs from the wrong spirit Says he in the Amsterdam News of July 1, "I shall oppose Thomas Murray because his leader ship means degradation and dis crimination against colored voters and tacit support and encourage mem to tne undemocratic snd jtm crow political organization known as the United Colored Democracr which is the notorious and sesrre gated entity which debars the Ne gro through its appointive lead ership, irom all executive power and proportionate representation wWr th Democratic Partr." Now this is not true. Moreover, when did Mr.

Mcintosh discover these grave horteominfrs in fair play and limitations of Democrat ic practice? Was it only when time eame to run tor the leadership of the 21st Assembly District? Was i onlr when he sought to get Commissioner. Ferdinand Q. Mor ton Job a yeas, aeox JL submit that if the United Colored Democ racy is a jan crow organization today it was also a jim crow organi zation a year ago. Besides, 1 consider Mr. Mcintosh's raising of the race issue on the matter of job holding unfortunate which is calculated to do more harm than good.

Furthermore, he is condemning the very thing he is doing himself, and the logical consequence of his position will put the Negro in a tragic political dilemma. It is too obvious to require argument that if Negroes are going to demand jobs merely upon a basis of race and color, that they cannot reasonably cry out when they are denied jobs upon the same basis race and color. Dr. Louis T. Wright was not made police surgeon merely because he is a Negro doctor, but because he was competent and was given fair play by the Tammany Administration.

Furthermore, it would be detrimental to the Negroes if the contrary was true, for in the end, it will do the race more injury to select officeholders solely on a basis of race. The only proper and sound basis of qualification for Negro and whites alike, seeking political preferment, is competence, responsibility, loyalty, worth and merit Mr. Murray is recognizing these qualities in colored men as shown by his backing various colored aspirants for public offices. Mayor James J. Walker, lammany leader John r.

curry and Police Commissioner Mul rooney are rewarding these qualities in colored citizens with offices of various kinds. But this will and should only come when Negro democrats are regular, loyal and unvascillating. One cannot be for Tammany today, and against Tammany tomorrow, to suit one's per sonal and selfish aggrandizement and expect the continued support of Tammany. As an ex policeman who patrol ed the streets of Harlem for several years, I think I know something about the vital needs of this community and from an unbiased observation and examination of the progranv record and character of Thomas F. Murray, I am confi dent that be is securing and meeting with understanding, vision and courage, the pressing needs of the masses of the people and is building a foundation, which, in terms of constructive service, will merit for ham the toga of the venerable and able Tammany Leader John r.

Curry, when he retires from his noble work. When we do so out for the lead ership let it be for the entire 21st A D. and let ns before doing so call a conference of the people and let then be given the right to select such leader. DELANCEY N. H.
