for Negro to the Democratic ticket
meant that they would go back In
slavery. The very mention of such II
thing is so ridiculous that Il Is rel.
ly funny. think il takes u IS per.
cent al I'll" p+rplc to change the con
siitution and I don't believe there Is
one democrat In the country that bs-
lirved In slavery any way. but the y.
grocs fell for il just the same. DID
they not?
You know II * pszzling to me WHY
the Negroes were so afraid of slav-
cry In thoss days and pay so littln
attention tn il now when i, really j.
staring them In tho face, and l will
say not only the Negroes but thu.
white people also.
They are Joining the Unions and
htllng ih%ir leaders hire them ont az
any wage they SEQ tit, not allowing
them To talk TO their employers ar dis
cnss with him what they think L.
fair and dnfair. You know In tn.
days Of slavery the oversecrs would
not allow the slaves to talk Ia I'm.
Master of their condition or wha,
they thought was fair or unfair. the
oversSsr was afraid that the slaves
ana the Master might get 10 gethrr
in which case the master wouldn'r
need any Overscer. therefore Mr.. over
seer would b. out OF II job. Is there
80 very much difference now day +.

ference, as ! see it. In the fact that
Macy have thS more or loss ignorant
whites with them and if something f.
not done to stop the trend or bring
the laboring class to their s@nses We
