R. N. HARRIS
GUY MAZYCK
COMMITTEE SPURNS TAYLOR,
MAZYCK IN STORMY SESSION
BY CLATHAN ROSS
The Durham Committee on
Negro Affairs caught a bull by
the horns here last week and
stubbornly refused to let it go
until the belabored animal was
forced to submit.
With its machine well-oiled
and running in high gear, the
powerful political committee of
the organization last Monday
night pushed through the en
dorsement of R. N, Harris as the
Third Ward’s candidate for the
City Council, spurning two other
Negroes, one of whom entered
the race two weeks ago and an
other who announced his candi
dacy at the meeting.
Despite pleas of moderation,
arrrid dire warnings that “this
will kill the committee” and in
the face of James T. Taylor’s en
try into the Council race from
the same ward two weeks ago
and Guy Mazyck’s announce
ment of his candidacy before the
assembled committee meml>ers
Monday night, the political com
mittee stuck to its original order
of business which was to en
dorse only one man from the
Third Ward for the coming coun
cil elections.
The result of Monday night’s
developments left two Negroes
in the race officially, and one
unofficially from the Third
Ward, with only Harris receiv
ing the blessings of the commit
tee.
Although the action of the
Political Committee' Monday
night was simply a recom.
mendation, it was expected that
only the routine formalities
would stand in fhe way of the
formal adoption of that recom
mendation by the entire com
mittee in its meeting which was
scheduled for last Thursday.
In the race now are R. N. Har
ris, vice-president and secretary
of Bankers Fire Insurance Com
pany, J. T. Taylor, professor of
Psychology at North Carolina
College, and, unofficially, Guy
Mazyck, president of local labor
union 208. Harris filed with
elections officials Tuesday while
Taylor filed two week ago.
Mazyck, who stated he was still
in the race after Mbnday night’s
meeting, had not filed witli elec
tion officials at press time. ,
Although the Third Wgrd Ja
predominantly a Negro w^d,
thje entire city votes on the
ward’s candidate.
