JACKSON, Miss.-The Mississippi
Progressive Voters League in q
two-day meeting at Pearl Street
AME Church here Thursday and
Friday of last week, with delega-

practically every section of the
state went on record as urging all
Negro citizens to register and quail

A Disgrace

THE PAINTINGS of Senator
Theodore 6. CThe Nam Bilbo in
his campaign for reelection is =
national disgrace. He is appealing
TO poll-tax electorate to return
him to the United States Senate
Tor another six-year term SO that
ne may continue as chairman of
the Committee on the District of
Columbia (mayor of Washington
and prevent the franchise from
being extended to residents of the
District of Columbia because vot-
ing here would mean colored dom
nation.
Craftsmanship of the District
Committee makes Bilbo a little
car. He can largely control leg
lslatlon; he gets special patronage,
power and prestige. His only fit
ness for the job is his seniority.
He lacks ability; he's a buffoon.
The seniority system is so in
grained that only Bilbo's defeat
or death will remove him. Party
responsibility is VIGOROUSLY weak.
But Secretary of Commerce Hen
ry A. Wallace has point when
he argues that member of Con-
gress who is against his party's
program should not expect his
party to make him chairman of a
committee which has the power of
life and death over legislation
sponsored by his party.
DEPOSITION
BY application of that rule Bilbo
would be deposed. So would be

In what turned out to be the

NIT individual members to joint it.
Meanwhile, Viceroy Wavell OPEN
ed a series of conferences with

you there is one of the most de-
structive drives on against the
principles of the South we have
known since the carpetbagger days

Maintaining that the solution of
the race problem is the continued
separation of the races and abSo-
lutte taboo against social and poll
teal equality Bilbo added that any
one who coddles, encourages, or
otherwise tends to influence the
Negro to vote in white primary
