ond War Loan. The result was
that individual sales for Ohio
were up approximately $780,,

THE NEGRO VOTE

A recent column in the Free Press by Frank r.
Kent, the voice of conservatism attempted to ana
yze the reasons why Negroes would according to
him, vote Republican in the coming election. Mr..
Kent revealed his appalling ignorance on the whole
subject when he seriously stated that Edgar G.
Browns poll of the recent Baptist convention at
Dallas, showed that the Negro Baptists in favor
of Dewey Negroes know that like Mr.. Browns
other polls which have been discounted, the poll of
the Baptists too was just wishful thinking Baptist
spokesman denied the Brown statements before the
end of the convention. The ubiquitous Mr.. Brown
announced similar poll of the delegates at the
N.AA.C.P. convention in Chicago this summer, but
his Republican findings were shown to be based
on the answers of handful of persons questioned
by him.
The Importance Of the Negro vote in this cleo
ton is fully known by both parties. 1t may be the
determining factor in number of politically stra-
tegc states. Because of this, great many persons
like Mr. Kent who are without any knowledge of
the Negro hazard analyses of the probable vote. At
election time the Negro is suddenly discovered by
many who have previously been unaware of his ex-
istence. Even Westbrook Pegler has found good
word to write for the Negro he rolls cross country
on the Dewey special Recognizing these fair weather
friends is no problem and the Negro voter will have
many another occasion to be amused by them before
the election.

REGISTER TO VOTE

Reports indicate that the efforts of the Political

fruit in larger numbers of registrants. Last week
showed marked increase in the number Of per-
sons who registered to vote in the November cleo
ton. There are many more thousands who must
register, however, before the drive will be success
Negroes especially have a responsibility to vote
wherever possible. News from the South in the last
few months Of Negroes going to register showed
fiat they have been willing at all odds to make the
attempt. In those southern states where they have
been turned away suits are being brought to insure
the right of Negroes to the ballot. The Supreme
Court Texas primary decision was the opening wedge
