the liberal views Of the Vice Presi-
dent, the South was cracking on its
anti-Negro front.
Campaign To Be Decisive
Whether the majority OF Negro
voters will support the Democratic
ticket in this election will hinge
more on the character OF the COM
ing campaign than on the action OF
the convention. The failure Oh
President Roosevelt TO speak out on
the Negro issue in the last two
years OF mounting racial strife in
the country fortified the Republican
propaganda that the President Is re-
treating from his liberal position.
The rejection Of Mr.. Wallace who
has championed minority rights in
the face OF tremendous opposition
has played into the hands OF Re-
publicans who will seek to prove
that the New Deal liberalism is
dead and the Democratic party has
returned to its traditional anti-Ne-
gro position in spite Of President
Roosevelt.
"No Place To Go"
Both the leaders of Organized
Labor and Negro Democrats have
admitted that support Of President
Roosevelt is the most important re-
sponsibility OF the liberals today
They expressed qualification that at
least the Democrats did not nomi-
nate a Southern bigot for vice presl-
dent nor did thew countenance the
demands OF the Texas regulars for
anti-Negro plank in the platform.
Disgruntled Negro Democrats and
labor leaders admitted that they
have mo place TO 60" because OF
the recationary character OF the Re-
publican party.

place their confidence.
The only outstanding action in
the entire Truman career insofar as
colored folk are affected is his back
ing in the senate OF the bill to
create a memorial at the birthplace
Of DR.. George Washington Carver
here in this state.
In sense that action did not
touch Negroes intimately. A pro-
fessor in George Washington uni
versity in St. Louis conceived the
idea, promoted it, travelled about the
country until he secured the en-
dorsement OF most OF the famous
people of the country and the back
ing OF Sen. Truman and Rep. Short.
The bill appropriating $4,000 10 buy
the Carver birthplace became law.
