"About 29 per cent of the popuia tion of this state is composed of ne; groes. and the selective service act , applies to them equally with the ] white race, and they have always shown a patriotic spirit in all war service. i "This should be wisely and fair. ly determined by the local commit- ! ; te in each county." The governor asserted that no j - board member should be selected ! because of political or religious af filiations, but added: "Wherever feasible it would prou ? ably make lor more satisfactory ah j 1 ministration of the selective draft act if the two major political parties - should be represented in the board j membership.""
