ceive 80 votes in the two home coun-

ties of the Tolbertsi and not one vote
in the third home county (McCor,
mick). Mr.. Tolbert and others have
been telling good Republicans, in ;soliG
Republican states that the negro is a
milIstone around the mecKs of the Re-
publican party in South Carolina Thai
they, the negroes. prevent growth and
expansion Of the Republican parity
and in a way they have been encour-
aged to get rid of the negro under a
promise from Tolbert and his handful
of his socalled leaders. that by so do
ing, white Democrats would leave the
Democratic party and vote the Repub-
lican ticket. In the last election for
president, Mr. Tolbert persuaded the
negroes of his executive committee to
nominate pure white electoral ticket
promising at least an additional vote
of $4,000 white voters for said white
electoral ticket. Those of us who
wanted to give Mr.: Tolbert leeWay
that the nation may know and see that
he had no white following IN the state
Of South Carolina 9th er than the office
seekers. we met and nominated an
electoral ticket with Five colored per-
sons and four white. In that way we
freed the Tolbert soicalled organiza-
ton from what theyI claim the MILL
stone around the party's neck, the ne
gro vote and the negro aspiration.
Now, let us analyzee the vote in the
last election secured for this Mr.. Toll
bert's white electoral ticket. -Four
wears ago the vote for president was
about 1900; at The last election Mr..
Tolberts white ticket secured only
2,244: the addition of 600 votes are wo-
men votes. This vote shows the sham
and hollowness Of the socalled organi-
cations promise. There is nothing at
all in the socalled organization OF TINS
state that appeals to white intelligence
white political manhood or even con-
slant faithful support of the negro
Republicans. They all know. that there
is no organization down here ana
there is no man in the organization
around whom hopeful, strong, expect
ant white men or black men, and wo-
men too. can rally to and assist, by
their political support and voting, on
election day. ~
