nat we know as much about him as
does Mr.. Payne, tho gist Of Who's
argu ment is that Mr.. Littlepa9e i:
favorable to Negro education ami

N Congress any measures inimica-
Die TO the race. All true enough!
But does Mr.. Payne know MIR. Lit
tlepage's attitude on the question Of
Negro suffrage and separate accom-
mediation on the common carriers?
He evades answering this question
by asserting that these are measures
with which a Congressman does not
have to deal, that they are measure

the States concerned.
Whether Mr. Payne is right o.
wrong, the Negroes Of this, tho
Third Congressional District want .
know and they think they do know,
and knowing, they will not support
Mr.. Littlepage. They have not for
gotten how, when he was a member
Of the State Senate, he lodged in
to an ante room to escape voting en-
a disfranchisement bill introduced ny
Senator Campbell, the Democrats
representative from Jefferson Coun
ty. They know that If the measure
had had the ghost Of show to be.
come a lax, he, obeyinR the caucus
mandate Of his party, would have
supported it by voice and vote. Bat
at that time the democrats were
kopelessly in the minority in bot
Houses Of the Legislature and Mr.
bittlepagc, representing normally
Republican district. was too wise ia
commit himself publicly to the poi
icy embossed by his party.
If for no other reason than that

ficient. Mr.. Payne will find his CT
