serted the intention of Negroes
in Arkansas to vote in local, state
and federal elections.
He deplored the assignment of
Congressman Brooks Hayes of his
state to carry the ball for those
opposed to a permanent FEPC.
DR.. Robinson traced recent eff
forts of the Arkansas Negro Dem
ocratic Association to persuade
the "all powerful Arkansas State
Central Committee to modify its
rules to permit Negro primary
voting. In 1912, he said that a
request for compliance with the
Sippy VS., Louisiana State Central
Committee prohibiting denial of
qualified electors to vote in pri-
mary elections was "bluntly de-
MED"
He stated further that permits
sion was granted to him as head
of the ANDA, following the Tex

person before the State Central
Committee converting at Hotel Ma
rion, Little Rock, which paved
the way for Negro voting under

However, since then the state
Legislature has enacted laws sep

mary, and another law to control
primary elections, which DR..
Robinson characterized as mere
smokescreen with which Negroes

Since the youths OF our city

doubted that any one called on In
this special drive to assist to-

such a plea, is the reason the

their effort to see that the board

quota.
The YMCA Ia not open 10 any

to all boys OF the community,
and 1t is urgently asked that
each adult person attend some

adopting some boy that day by

We feel that we are ready to
take the responsibility OF our

members Of other races to donate
funds for us. 1t is time for us to
