when, on motion of Senator Mar

of 500, COO was voted toward a eel

SAME OLD TACTICS

The political situation in Georg-
ia reminds us of "Bob' Toombs'
story about the white man, the Ne
gro and the pearly gates.
The white man, Toombs said,
wanted to negotiate heaven. Peter
at the gate told him he would have
to come mounted. So he returned
to earth and induced a Negro to
serve as steed, artfully insinuating
that thus equipped both of them
could enter the hallelujah land.
They arrived at the celestial por-
tails. ''Iie your hores outside, and
come on in" said the good gate
keeper.
It's been that way in Georgia
politics since the COWS came home.
Everybody knows how it works.
The demagogue gets out on the
stump and by every cheap device
imaginable appeals to race preju-
dice. He promises with bind
ing oath to repeal the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments. He
crossed his heart and swears him.
self purple in the face that When
he is elected to the House or the
Senate he will see there are no
more Negro federal appointments.
The campaign ends and with it
comes an end of the issue until
it is resurrected for the same use
in the next campaign.
The cur rent Georgia campaigns
bring about the usual revival of
the eternal "nigger" bogie. Once
more they are going to ride the
"nigger" up to the political pearly
gates. And then-they're going
to tie the Negro outside; for two
more years-until the next CAM
paign. Time and again they have
slid into office on the back of race
prejudice, oozing promises to dis
franchise the Negro nationally,
and to prize him away from the
pie counter-and failed utterly to
redeem those promises after they
took their seats.
The people of Georgia are awake
to these cheap, insincere and con
temptible tactics.
Hold that candidates who can
find no stronger issue than the
"nigger" under suspicion. Dis
count 100 per cent his promises on
other issues. if he makes the old
specious, sophistical promises
about the "nigger"-promises ex-
perience proves will not be kept.
The people of Georgia have cut
their political eyeteeth. They
know hypocricy and buncombe
when they see it!

White neighbors objected to her
