THE ROUNDUP
WAS THINKING:
BY
GEORGE MoUZoN

WAS THINKING;
Now that the opening guns have been fired in the
coming city election there all sorts of yarns being
told and all kinds of promises being made. In recent
editorial by Adam Clayton Powell Jr he urges the unity
and consolidation of colored voters and the building
unity ticket among voters for candidates. This
will be- politically, most important for the group locally
and nationally for the tide of battle turning and won't
be long before Johnny Comes Marching Home and then
the much-talked-of world to Be-"
Unfortunately, the two colored candidates for
clor in ward not certified and it looks
like it will be the old story of candidates running
sckers. In the past few candidates. even backed by
strong political organizations have been able to win
election with this handicap The outcome will be the split
ting of what few votes do control and possibly the
election of candidate who may prove, in the past,
unfavorabe to the group thus leaving without any
representation in the council and the of without
key who might be favorable towards few Of
needs and favors.
In Boston this year, every black and woman,
twenyone of age should register and vote,
for not only will registration play important part in
influencing 1943 elections but it may be the major part
in the 1914 elections and expect to survive and
maintain the great gains have made let's start talking
registration now. ANY PERSON WHO DOES NOT REG
IsTER THIS YEAR OF ALL YEARS SHOULD BE PUB.
