S Su preme Court Os all the unhappy consequences of this terrible situ ation, is tiie fact that the Con gress of the United States is dom inated and controlled by these in tolerant southern Democrats. Now to get back to the presiden tial Candidate, President Eisen j hovve.i. candidate to sueeed him -1 self might merit reelection on the overall record he. has achieved : during his present tenure, but as we have already said, the Negro voter must look beyond what is ' best tor the country and think in terms of himself. Mi. Eisenhower has by his ac ' t.ion or. some occasions, shown himself as favoring the anti-seg | relation edict of the IT S Supreme Court There is nothing to indi cate his disapproval of that rul ing. There is nothing to indicate i that the National Republican Par |tv which Mr. Eisenhower repre j senis. and heads, is opposed to this j luiing by <he Court. On the other ; hand, even though the Democratic , presidential nominee, is. we be lieve, fully qualified to administer the duties of office of president if is Grange to us and a many thousand thinking Negroes, that | Mr. Stevenson, the Democratic i standard bearer, has received the ; wholeheatred endorsement of such | known race-baiters as Gov Hodges ! Scnatoi Erwin, Judge Rodman. I Pearsall. Darken. Worthington and i other white supremists in this j state to say nothing of the support I and endorsement of ihp group of ! hate mongers in the other South ; ern states. The mere fact thal ail of these j rabid apostles of intolerance arc j so enthusiastic in their support of Mr Stevenson lends credence to ' the statement of a leading South 1 Carolina racist who last week said \ that the South was supporting Mr Stevenson because he (Mr Steven ; son) had given Ihe South amole i essvmance be would do nothing I thal would offend the South if he • were elected president. 'With this type of evidence be fore him, it is hard to believe that | the Negro voter can or will cast a j vote foi Mr. Stevenson or for any i other candidate of the Demoerat j tc Party. ~ i On ihe state level, there is net i a single Negro in this state who ! has not been shocked at the braz en way the Democratic office hol ders have insulted and run rough shod over their legal rights, clos ! ed (and locked every door to their [ economic- frperfom. stand accused er and manager.
