8.5x11" printed paper dated September 1, 1936 and addressed to Hon John D M Hailton, Chairman Republican Natl Committee/Railway Exchange Bldg Chgo. Text "Extend To The National Planning Board Of Colored Republicans My Felicitations And Earnest Regards. The History Of The Republican Party And That Of Our Colored Fellow Citizens is So Interwoven That It Is Impossible To Think Of Freedom And The Remarkable Progress Of Colored Americans Without Recalling The Origins Of Our Party. Who Can Forget The Labors Of The Republican Party For This People In Their Darkest Hour Against Forces Often Concealed But Nevertheless Tireless And Industrious. The Republican Party Keeps The Faith With Its Founders Who Promised To Remain Unwearied In The Cause Of Fully Established Emancipation. Our Party Is Not Sectional. Its Beliefs And Practices Are Everywhere The Same. North And South Alike. It Is Universal. I Employ Neither Platitudes Nor Mottoes. Our Platform Of 1936 As It Relates To Colored Americans, Together With The Principles Of The Republican Party As They Were First Uttered. Express My Feelings And Convictions On All Problems That Concern Them. No Turn Of Fortune Could Change My Belief In The Absolute Equality Of All American Citizens. Wherever I May Be In The Future I Shall Strive As I Have Thus Far Striven To Adhere To The Fundamentals Of Justice Both By Word And Deed. Governor Alf M Landon. Quite tanned, .5" split on original centerfold, a few tiny edge nicks. Still Fine, but needs to be handled carefully. A rare 1930s GOP appeal to black voters.
