Recently a 'white-supremacy" slate
Of candidates down Georgia-way took
a terrific beating in an election which
featured the voting of negroes for the
first time in that down South" state
This week the Florida supreme court
ruled against the setting up of "anti-
negro" zones in the city of Miami
Slowly but relentlessly the demand of
the people of America for tolerance in
the treatment of minority races rolls
ahead and with each victory thus
chalked up our country comes nearer
to the goal of being a true democ-
racy, wherein all men are not only Gre
ated, but are permitted to live as
equals. Let's give the battle for toler-
ance another boost by writing and in
sisting that our senators demand that
house rules bill (anti-poll tax bilD
be brought from committee and voted
upon favorably at this session of con-
gress.

The political pot is beginning to
warm up at quite a gait now that the
primaries are only two and a half
months away. Over Butte way rumor
has it that there will be at least Is
on the Democratic ticket
for sheriff, and lord only knows how
many on the COP. Likewise, reports
are that untold dozens will seek leg
islative posts from the Copper City"
Other parts of the state are also see
ng quite filing rush for various coun-
ty posts as well as the legislature. 1t |
is to be hoped that all far-seeing Mon
-ana voters will take particular pains
to put legislative candidates ION the |
spot" regarding such important pro- |
POSED pieces of legislation as the MVA,
sales tax, ETC. Know where your can
lidates stand and then insist that they
stick to their campaign pledges once
hey are elected. And-don't forget.
vour opinion isn't worth a whoop if
'ou're not registered. Closing registra-
ion date for the primaries is May 81.
