He recited the many problems

CARROLTON, Miss. - (SpeciaD
Lester j. Franklin, perennial can
dictate for Governor of the State of
Mississippi, opened his campaign
here last Saturday with a bitter
attack against the Negro. Candi-
date Franklin, in and out of Mis-
sissippi politics for the last quarter
of century, who was reputedly in
vOlved in the political scandals that
rocked Mississippi politics a few
years ago, gained what was per-
haps his greatest public notice,
when, because of his reputed in
volvement in the scandal, he was
many times derisiyely referred to
by Editor Fred SullenS of the
Jackson Daily News as loud, To-
Quacious, lying, little Lester" AL
though claiming the support of
Senator Bilbo and ex-senator Wall
DoXey, persons familiar with Mis-
sissippi politics conceded Candidate
Franklin little, if any chances of
election.
In his bitter attack against the
Negro, Candidate Franklin said:
1--WE of the South are faced with
grave trouble, which is being
brought upon us by outside med
dler who don't understand our
problems with respect to our rela-
tons with the Negro race. True to
the traditions Of our beloved south
land, am for white supremacy and
race purity first, last and always.
I will not tolerate as Governor, any
crack-pot theories seeking to bring
about political or social equality
between the white and black races.
am vigorously and unalterably
opposed to the government under
taking to take charge of our crimi-
nal courts and otherwise interior
ing with our internal affairs which
are plainly delegated to the states
under the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. The Federal Constitution
fixes in the states the right to fix
the qualifications and prescribe who
may exercise the right of suffrage.
I am fundamentally behind our
southern Senators and Congress-
men who are battling in Congress
in an effort to preserve the states
right to say who shall and who
hall not vote and under what lin
itationS.
Every man and woman in this
state must pledge himself and her
self, as I now pledge myself, ito
fight to the bitter end such move
mentS whenever and wherever they
occur, to the end that the right of
the states may be made secure and
our liberties preserved
Il don't favor mob violence and

my duty in providing protection to
those charged with heinous crimes.
However, want it understood that
when I'm governor and black brute

FEPC Probes Mobile Trouble:
Paper Denies Any one Killed
Drop in Shipyard Production
Estimated as Above so Per Cent

MOBILE, Ala.-(A N p - Two
representatives of the FEPC in
Washington reached here Friday to
investigate the riot and racial
labor and Maritime commission
officials sought to thrash out the
problem behind closed doors.
The trouble has caused an eS--
timated so percent drop in pro-
duction in this vital war plant. 1t
was reported only 800 Negro work.
ers out of a total of 1000 were at
work Friday following the riot last
Tuesday. Many white workers who
walked off the job when colored
men returned Thursday came
back Friday, probably because it
was payday.
At the same time the Go
denied responsibility for the
strike, petitioning President Roose-
welt to send s'the proper authori-
ties" here to probe the trouble
which was described as sabotage.
Local dailies and many prominent
citizens believe the racial friction
is the result of successful efforts of
axis agents to hamper production
by arousing this sections racial
prejudice to fever heat.
ALL SENT HOME
After the riot Tuesday N which
several persons were hurt, all
Negroes were sent home from their
jobs for safety's sake. Seven COM
panieS of state guardsmen were
sent here to avert further trouble.
The complaint was that Negro
WelderS had been upgraded and
