Senator Ellender Attempts
To Whitewash BilbO In
Hearing Before Senators

JACKSON, Miss. (NNPA) -
Chairman Allen J. Ellender Of the

committee at the close Of hearings
here last Thursday wished for a
unanimous report absolving Senator

July 2 Mississippi Democratic
primary.
Ellender, who halls from the
neighboring state Of Louisiana
where methods similar to those
used in Mississippi are employed to
suppress the colored vote appar-
entity is not likely to get his wish.
Guilt Established

fciently established by the evil
dence given the committee TO war

New Hampshire, and Bourke b.

publican ticket in the general cleo
ton. There has been in practically
every general election throughout
this long period Republican cAndi-
dates, sometimes Socialists, on the
ballot TO be voted in the general
election"
After calling the attention Of the
to the "faet that this is
the first Democratic primary in
Mississippi since carpet bagging
days in which niggers tried to
vote" Bilbo declared:
"If I am to be eensured and con-
demned and denied a seat in the
U. S. Senate because Of my views
