A Day of Destiny for Nortli Carolina
Saturday, May 28, from sunrise until .suii.sct,
is the day. On that day Nej^ro and rcsijcctablc
white voters of North Carolina must kt-ei) a
conveuant with destiny. t)n that day they will
decide whether this state will turn the j'ag'cs
of history hack anti become a coiinntmwcalth
of hittcrness, racial strife and hatred or inarch
steadily forward toward the tjoal of lionost-.
to-j;oodncss imder.Htandinj' between the racvs.
That is wliat faces the voters of North Cato-
lina in the Dcniticratic Primary on iic.xt Satiir-
day.
Because of the seriousness of the i.ssue we
call upon white and Negro voters of North
Cai'lpina. who want to see the people of the
state live tojfcther ,in harmony and «ith mu
tual respect, to j>o to the polls on ne.xt Satur
day and vote against any candidate whose only
campaign i>attle cry is that of raceJ«tM;ed. I'lir
obvious reasons, w'e do not_JKTFT to call names
here. You have read the newspapers, you have
listened to radio. You have secli and listened
to. your television. Vou know the candidates
who have discussed frankly the issues of edu
cation, taxes, agricirlture, industry, health,
pu(>lie safety and other important matters
which need to be brought before the people.
You Hlso'know the candidates who have waved
a rel flag of race hatred and bigotry up and
down North Carolina during the present politi
cal caniapign and will c»>ntinue to do so to a
greater legree should there be a run-off.
l,’nle>s yt)U act forthrightly t>u next Satur
day you may see once again in North Carolina
XI political camapign worse than the Willis
.'^mith-l'rank (iraham senatorial j^ace several
■\ ea srago and an era that will follow the elec
tion of an apostle of race hatred tt* the olVice
of governor that will out-cUj Fauluts of Arkan
sas or any other ral)ble roiuser.
ilasically we believe iu the integrity of a
majority of voters and citi;tens ill North Caro
lina. We are satisfied that if they are made
aware of the issues aiul dangers facing their
state that the)- will rise to the uccasiun and go
to tlie polls and vote ugaiu.st nieu amt mea
sures that are certain to mean disaster to
whatever j>rogress has been niade in this state
in the field of race relations. It is only >^hen
this majority ceases its vigilaiice that tyrants
are enthroned in North Curuiiua.i That is 'what
happened when the late W ilHs Smith embarked
on a campaign of vicitnis race hatred and went
