MISS. SOLON
"BLOWS TOP"
OVER RACE
JACKSON. Miss i ,-\NP> - A Mr
sissppi congressman blew his top
in the state legi.-i.ttu> «• last w* • k
when he said: “If w. can ytevatc
the Negro overnight t>. i. pos Ho:, ol
; economic and social equality with
the white race, which for more tn:;n
2,0('0 years has enjoyed 'h. bene
fit- of civilization. Christianity
neat ion and culture, then we mus.
• conclude that . ivilization. t-duc..
tion, culture and Christianity are
. meaningless.”
The congressman Rep. Mullein
M Colmer (11. Miss.), one of (ho
leaders against the FEFU bill
! charged Democratic party leadei-:--
with fostering racial propaganda
for the purpose ot remaining in
power. Said he:
"All of this ra<* agitation the
arraignment of Negro again-i tie

Americans, unfortunately, i? tne

of your and my party heading the
siren. --ong of scheming poltical
planners.
“The South is the wire; - ic hoy
of the nation. It hecunte tin Uog'-t
ot these schemers in their purpo-.
to garner suffice nt Negro votes
in doubtful states so that w* might
continue in power.
"Even our more enlightened
Northern brother is now becoming
a ware of the fact that the true
friend of the Negro race is in the
South. Th* intelligent southern Ne
gro ha- long been aware of that
fact.”
The. Mississippi Solon next -rm

that war in the future - net m

that presently he is concerped with

Getting back to the Negro the
Solon said:
