More often it has been throngh the dogged efforts and determination of the N’.-\.ACP rather than those of the party ^v^^ose reign in the South for the past 60 years has been .supreme. Here, in North Carolina, our memory must not become so shortened that we forget that there are .“still counties in this state in whicli Xegroes are intimidated or denied the right to vote by illegal tests or other means. We must not forget that it Ti’as only a few years ago when Xegroes were forcfd to go into the courts to obtain the right to ride on inter- urban buses in North Carolina, to gain ad- miskibn to the Universitj' of North Carolina, to secure even a token of integration in the pulilic schools. We must not forget that under the sole leadership of the Democrat Part}' and in defiance of the U. S. Su}>reme Court’s ruling on segregation in the public schools, this state has concocted the vicious Pearsal Plan. Let us not forget that not a single Negro is employed as a stenographer, clerk or book keeper in a single court house, city hall or state capitol building in Democratic North CaTolina; that in spite of integration in the U. S. .\rmy that not one Negro is a member of the North Carolina National Guard under the rule of the Democrat Party in this state. Instead, the lot of the most loyal Negro voter in this state is that of being given the crumbs that fall from the Democrat P^rty table. This fiendish attempt to pacify over a million Ne groes in North Carolina by tossing to a few of their leaders will not -su will not be winked at by this newspapCT^ We maintain that there are three political parties in this country. There is the Republi can Party, the Democrat jParty and the Dixie- crat Party, sometimes referred to as the southern wing of the Democrat Party. Call it what j'ou will or may, we further maintaih that in principle the Dixiecrat Party, or south- bemocrat parties than »n elephant is to a bird. .^I>parentiy the placing of Senator Lyndon Johnson’s name on ‘the Democrat ticket as vice presklent’iaS nominee was an attempt of^ the leaders of tIVe Democrat Party to form an unholy kttiance with the Dixiecrats and stave off a tlireat of the' southern states to once again "revolt from the Democrat Party and ' form ii, thirS tmrty iji nanle. Thus, we fin^' N^ro ieadefs of stature running up and down the country a.sking their people to Vote for a vice presidestial nominee who not only has the approval of siich a white supremacist ns Mississijipi'.s Senator James 0. Eastland bult who accordirtg to Eastland “as a result of hife stforlg leadership of the Senate Judiciary Com mittee was able to kill 23 civil rights bills iQ 1957 and 49 in 19.t0." Said Senator Eastland further, “I don’t always agree with Lyndon Johnson, but you have to give him credit. He took everything relating to integration out of tho.se civil rights bills that did pass . . . He has always opposed Congress implementing the segregation decision of the Sujn’eme Cnnrt.” i It is our firin belief that the most pressing need of the South today is a twp-^arty sys tem. It i# also our firm belief that if the 12 million or more Negroes of the South are ever frfeetl from its vicious one-party system they, and they alone, mu.st strike the first blow. Tliey must strike it by voting against nominees of a party that from all evidence has abandoned them to the wolves of white supremacy.

SOCIAL SECURITY Let’s take a quick look at the far reaching influence which Roo- rievelt and the Democratic Party have had on our society. When the average working man reaches the age that his employer no longer considers him useful, he is able to step out of his job and still re ceive enough money so that he does not bocome a helpless, de pendent ward of his relatives or children—or the state. The money which he gets is nothing more than what he has earned over the years and has been stored away for him automatically by his gov ernment. This is Social Security. In our immediate area, the lar gest employer of our people has been the tobacco industry.

MINIMUM WAGE Of course, the tobacco factories don’t employ all of our people, they work hi many other places, in automobile garages, restau rants, hospitals, hotels, textile mills, furniture factories and countless other places. Some of these establishments have no labor unions to speak for their employ ees but these people are not for gotten. They are guaranteed a rea sonably fair return for their labor through the Minimum Wage Law n^ich prevents an employer from paying his workers less than $1 per hour for their labor. Many other' pieces of Democratic legislation have served to raise the Standards of living within reach of the workingman. U. S.

This, in brief, is the heritajge which the Democratic Party has left for our people.. But all of these thiiigs are in the past. In the 6d's, bur country faces new social, eoo ^omic and international problems, just as we did in the thirties. Our population is growing faster. Our cities are becoming prowded and slumridden. Our schools are al ready overcrowded. The gap be tween what some people now earn and what their necessities cost is coming closer. The pace of modern living, with its stress, is taking its ton In increased disease, but the cost of medical care has skyrocket-, ed almost beyond reach of the ave rage citizen.

Mr Eastland told the people of Mississippi that he was a little slow to accept Mr Kennedy until he was assured by Lyndon Johnson that he could handle him when it comes to handling, the race issue. KENNEDY'S HANDS TIED Richard Milhouse Nixon not only refused to accept a watered down civil rights platform plank, but in sisted on writing on^ that he could not only run on, but one that he could live with and bwiid on. Mr. Nixon has clearly defined his po- cition on this matter, north and south, east and west. No member of his party, nor his staff, has come out and said that he would stop Mr. Nixon in espousing free dom’s cause. No member of any congressional committee, repre senting Mr. Nikon's party, has said that as a member of his com mittee that he would tiirow any proposed legislalion in the waste basket as Eastland assured the people of Mississippi he would do to any civil rights bill. The Negro must be assured of first-class citizenship out of this election or he must wait another {our yean. Any Negro who wants his child, his grand children, or even his great grand children to tiave an equal opportunity mu^t weigh the associates of the two cahdidates, and if they weigh them on the scales of fair play, they will find that when he left Los Angeles with Johnson as his run ning mate, Kennedy’s hands were tied. NO REWARD The southern Negro should take into consideration that e v e^n though, wherg he couliji vote under the DemocraUr anS wlWtever cfhr tion for their children will not tribution he has made to the suc cess of the party, except for the few pennies that the leaders have received from the party bosses, there has been no tangible con sideration. His daughter has not been given a job as a clerk, a typist, a bookeeper, a file clerk, a machine operator, or a supervisor, no matter how much training she. had in those fields by the state or counity Democratic government. The southern Negro should re member that all of the laws passed by these same officials, relating to rights of all mankind, have been aimed at keeping him in what they term “his place.” Tlie southern Negro should remember that when' tn he it making hit bed larder.

ENDORSE SIT-DOWN On the civil rights issue, it is only necssary to quote a portion of the party’s platform, which, in cidentally, was the only one to endorse outright the student sit-in movement: “The peaceful demonstrations for first-class citizenship which have recently taken place are a signal to all of us to make good at long last the guarantees of our Consti tution. The titnei has come to assure eqiM access for all Americans to all OTeas of Community life, in- cludhig voting booths, school rooms, jobs, housing, and public facilities. The Democratic party has the best man to carry out its object ives. Senator John F. Kennedy in his 14 years as a member of the U. S. Senate has consistently cast his vpte on the side of progressive, liberal legislation. The NAACP, a' striclly non-partisah ptgahization, compared the records of Vice’ ■president Nixon and Senator Ken nedy on civil rights, and its secre tary Hoy Wilkins has this to say; NAACP OKAYS. 4CBMNEDY ‘Semttor Kennedy, actordlng to the compiWian of the Washington Suretu at tfe KAACP, has had a consistently good record from the (inae he eatei«d Oagress In 1M6. have to ovei ing on In Durl rs^t rht^, you must be content with gold to thMlMck door if yon want get sArthing to eat in most ol the i^Wlc places. tti? state of Norm Carolina hat reused to appoint a Negro judgi, a Negi^'Solicitor, a Negro clerk, Negtilg^ist, a Negro engin*e;r, stances the Democt^ two white Dettiocrat|i three Negro men, highways of the staW- , and'many other lari^ cities, this Negro picks up the gaf- bage, on Ae streets, dumps it It^to the trae|^ but is not allowed to drive the truck.
