LARGEsT CIRCULATION


From Aondon comes the
claim of a Sunday newspa-
per. The News of the World,
10 a circulation of 8,112.383,
which seems to be something
of a record.
At the same time, the
British press has been under
fire from various critics,
who have sought an investi-
CATION of its finances, con-
troll, management and own
ership. 80
The Influence. of the press
Is tremendous and it is i'm
portant for all the facts
about the financing, control,
management and ownership
of every publication to be
public property. In the Unit
ed States, this is approached
by the statement of, circula-
ton, which the newspapers
have to make in connection
with their Second Glass
mailing permit.
1t should not be presum-
ed. however, that the re-
quirements of the Post Of
flee Department in this
country are enough to reveal
the control of all publica-
tiOns. There are ways to
avoid revealing the connec-
ton of interests and persons
and this has been done.
Thesfact of the matter is
that the publication of a
modern daily, in many cities
of large size, requires con-
siderable capital. Moreover,
possession of what amounts
To almost exclusive fran
chises make it difficult to
inaugurate Succ f u |
daily.
While some criticism has
been directed against the
press and press associations
of the United States, the
fact remains that, by and
large, newspapers of this
country are fairly independ-
ent. There are exceptions,
of course. Some newspapers
reflect special interests and
others peculiar idiosyncra-
cies of their owners. When
these affiliations and predi-
lections are known, the pub
lie is, amply protected.

a single topnotcher among
the Republican leaders COM
on the suggestion,
made by a Democratic sena-
tor, that Truman resign as
president.
We can merely guess.
what was the actuating mo-.
tive behind the silence of the
Republican leaders. Several:
Key Westers told The Citi-i
zen their opinion was that
the Republicans might have
thought there was a catch IN
the suggestion, as it came
from a Democratic source.
But The Citizen believes
that the reason for the sill
ence was because the Re-
publicans considered tn e
suggestion ridiculous.
It was the twenty-seventh
time a similar condition had
occurred during off-year
congressional elections. The
victors, in every instance,
shouted from the housetops
about the things they were
going to do when they as
sumed their duties in the
congress.
How well do we recall the
hullabaloo the Democrats
raised in 1912 when they
returned to power in Wash
ington after 16 years of Re-
publican rule! The Demo-
Gratis were power-hungry
politicians, after 16 years as
a minority party in congress,
and the Republicans are
power-hungry now, follow
ing Is years as a minority
party in congress.
Many of the things the
Democrats said they were
going to do in 1912, when
Woodrow Wilson was elect
ed president over Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt, were
never done, and many of the
things the Republicans say
now they are going to do
will not be done.
However, The Citizen
trusts they will succeed in
cutting down the huge ex-
penditures of the federal
government, with a result
ant. reduction in taxes.
Since 'th e, Dem ocra t S
assumed Office iliMarch of
1885, the. lfedeksal govern
ment,F has 9ibHeaiif throwing
taxpayers money to the
four winds.lM has been nuz-
fling deeper. and deeper in
to matters that are essential
ly the concern of the states.
and in adherring to that
practice, it has Whitfield
down state rights to a mini
mum of what they were. BY
giving the states additional
billions of dollars, the fed
eral government has been
steadily increasing it's pow
er in the internal affairs of
the states. Besides, as Sena-
tor Byrd of Virginia has
pointed out frequently, the
government has been con-
stantly continuing the &C
QUESTION of more and more
land in the states, thereby
depriving the states and
their subdivisions of m my
millions Of dollars that, 9TH
erwise, would have been
paid in taxes.
Those are the conditions
that aroused an overwhelm-
ing majority of the people
on Tuesday to vote against
Democrats.

The importance of the colorec vote throughout the state of Con- necticut in the coming gubernator- ial election should be emphasized Your vote can decide this election if boiled correctly.
 In the past, neither major po- litical party of the state has given any recognition to the Negro. Our success in the immediate future depends entirely upon our colored leaders, organizing our strength in opposition to the party which has less to offer us.
 We cannot hope to accomplish our aims unless we have represen- tation on a State Central Com mittee or admission to the inner circle of these two major parties. Without this representation, we can only look forward to a ticket being selected by an all-white group of politicians, which will mean a continuance of the past: no patronage for the Negro. For verifcation, the Negro voter is asked: "What commissionships or appointments have been given the race in the state of Connecticut, as has been given them in Yer mont, Mass, New York, New Jer- sey and various other states?
Hartford chronicle., 1946-05-04
THE NEGRO VOTE

Even Kentucky has a Negro in it's House of Representatives
 Political bosses have made sev- eral attempts to buy Negro votes through an offer of minor jobs to individuals. The discriminatory policies of the two major parties are clearly evidenced by their past conduct
 An approach toward our leaders by either party will signal a change. Lack of immediate results will necessitate the formation, of an independent political organiza- tion giving strength to those can ddates who on their records, past and present best represent our in terests. Such group will ignore the whims of either party and consider only the merits of the in dividual candidates.
 The next few weeks will deter mine the course we will take in shaping our future.

number Come Soothing Death, found MT. Hall feeling his way. The second, "Recite, and Air, Hear Me-" was quite briske, and seemed to give the artist much more con- fdence- although in places his higher notes seemed bit strained, certainly in contrast to the lower ones which were of bet ter quality. The third selection, ''Is Not His Word Like Fire?" es- tablished the pianist, Mr. Simpson, One could hardly say that he is inexperienced in concert work be- cause his quality and lightness of touch could not be overlooked.
 The Jewish lament song "Eli, Eli" was the climaxing rendition before the intermission.
 Mir. Hall and his accompanist definitely portrayed excellent team work.
