A great army OF men and wo-

Harold Il. Bledsoe because they
realize that the Negro in Wayne
County is at the crossroads OF op-
portunity. The eyes of all the coun-

asking the question: Will Negroes
strike a blow for their own politi-

portunity in history presents itself
or will they declare that they are
forever enslaved by the chains
forged by false leadership?
The possibility OF electing a Ne
