"That position will be filled by

Until the executive committee
elects a new president, the vice
president will fill the post, says
Coleman. Also, the state
NAACP constitution does not

an elected municipal office and

Coleman says.

both positions; however, it is felt
it might cause a conflict of interest,"
says Coleman. "At one
time, the national office did require
you to resign."
There is no routine procedure
that an executive board follows
for filling the top post, says Coleman.
If the vice president wants
the job, then the executive board
goes with him.
"A" lot depends on the circumstances,"
she says.
Marshall says he wants the job.
"What McMillan is talking
about is wishful thinking/' says
Marshall. "That's not what the
constitution says. What it boils
down to is McMillan is not too
fond of me. This was just tried by
some folk who don't have a liking
to me."
Hairston and McMillan
haven't taken a liking to each
other. The verbal scuffle between
the two has gone full circle.

McMillan served as NAACP
president for 12 years before
Hairston was elected. Hairston
ran against McMillan in 1974 but
lost. After the '74 election,
Hairston threatened to start a

not to do so by the national office.
r
In 1976, at the end of
McMillan's term, he announced
that he would not seek re-election
and hand-picked his own candidate,
James Graham, to succeed
him.
Because of problems during
the nominating procedure,
McMillan requested that an official
from the national office
conduct the election. Hairston
won 81-50.
Marshall said he is not opposed
to an election by the membership.
"The people should have a
choice," said Marshall. "But the
constitution is clear; the vice
president succeeds the president.
I'm not afraid of an election."
Marshall is not the only person
interested in the job. Rodney
Sumler, chairman of the NAACP
Labor Committee, said he is also
interested. Sumler now holds the
post Hairston held when he was
elected president.
"I'm interested, but I can work
with Marshall," says Sumler. "It
won't be a big deal if 1 don't get
it. I can wait."

Hairston says his decision to
resign is not based on his winning
or losing the November election.
As has been the case for the past
couple of years, Hairston says he
is tired of the job.
"Either way the election goes,
I'm resigning," says Hairston.
