‘Vote, Don’t
Demonstrate:’
Roy Wilkins
BY DARCY DeMILLE
FLINT (NPH— Roy Wilkins, N
AACP executive secretary, made it
clear last week that between now
and November presidential elec
tion, emphasis should be on get
ting Negroes "into the voting
booths.”
Addressing a NAACP voter reg
istration rally in the IMA audi
torium. Wilkins advised Negroes
that “you better attend to busi
ness or after Nov. 3, you may not
have any business to attend to.
He was not sold on the idea
of abruptly halting demon
strations, but you better slow
them down to a trickle. You’ve
got more important things to
do. You've got just so much
energy and you use It where It
will do the most good.”
Other speakers during the S
hour rally, which attracted more
than 1.500 persons, included State
Rep. Gordon Rockwell, Mt. Mor
ris. representing O-ov. George
Rommey; Rep. Neil Staebler.
Democratic candidate for gover
nor: Nelson Jack Edwards, Negro
member, international executive
board. United Auto Workers, and
Raymond J. Kelly, Jr., chairman,
Genesee County Republican com
mittee. The all-Negro Freedom
Now party was also represented at
the rally, sponsored jointly by the
Flint Trade Union Leadership
council ' TULC». the Community
Civic league (CCL) and the local
NAACP.
The rally marked the kick-off
-drive to register 4.000 Negroes as
voters
Commenting on the passage of
the civil rights bill, Wilkins said:
“The lobbyists (for the bill) had
the moral arguments, but they al
so had the ultimate weapon—the
Negro vote. If people hadn’t reg
istered. it would not have been a
weapon
"The Negro vote Is so Important
;in the national picture that no
party could afford to sell the civil
rights bill down the river—not
this year."
Wilkins noted that of the 290
representatives who voted for pas
sage in the House. 138. were Re
publicans.
Referring to feelings evident a
mong Negroes about the nomina
tion of the Senator from Arizona.
Wilkins cautioned that “you may
be mad . . . but don't be mad at
men who voted for your bfll,
whether Democrat or Republi
can."
