To. the Candidates.:
What candidates will win in the
coming November election? Those who
get the most votes. That remark seems
trite. but it was not always true in Key
West. Now, with the advent Of the vot-
ing machines, crooked manipulations
are almost nil.

President Truman was at his best

South Carolina Decisions


from voting Almost every south
ern office older tod holds his
elective Office be 'as.,e Negroes
in their states have been almost
DISTINGUISHED.
The South has consistently
fought every effort to enfranchise
Negroes because the people be-
hind this fight knew that the only
way to keep Negroes from achiev-
ing firstclass citizenship would be
through keeping them from yot-
ing. Few of our present day
youngsters know or realize that
separate schools, jim-crowism and
most other forms of racial segra-
cation came about in the South
after the movement for complete
Acknowledgement had gotten we'll
under way.
AS long as Negroes were per-
mitted to vote in the southern
states, they had the power to de-
feat all attempts to introduce laws
making racial segregation manda-
tory. Therefore, the South knew
that it had to resort to drastic
methods to cheat the Negro out
of his right to vote. The Ku Klm
Khan was organized and became
the most famous of the many
groups started during the recon
struction period for the purpose
of terrorizing Negroes into being
afraid to vote.
The last Negro member of Con
gress from the South was George
White of North Carolina. He was
defeated in the elections of 1900
and went out of office March A
1901. In leaving the House of Rep
resentatives, Cong, White predic'
ted that some day Negroes would
return. His prophecy ca me true
when Oscar DePriest was elected
from the LIST District of Illinois
in 1928.
Cong. White had not forseel
that resentment over disfranchise
ment would force millions of hi
race to migrate to more welcome
climes. From the vantage poin
in Northern cities, Negroes have
wage a relentless fight agains
their age-old enemies in thu
South. For almost so years, the
South kept the Negro from the
polls. At times it seemed hope
less fight to try to break the
strangle-hold Tillman, vardaman
Helm. Watson, Hoke Smith and
Bilbo had.
But, because the Negro never
gave up in his fight for the right
to vote in the South, today there
are most favorable signs that vic
tory lies Immediately ahead if we
continue to press the fight.
The latest decision in South Car
DINA and the first one in that, the
most backward state in the South,
~as handed down by a native of
Charleston, S. c. The suit was
brought by a Negro businessman
of Columbia and was intented as
test of the new law passed in
the state eliminating all laws re-
lating to primaries and setting up
lilv-white Democratic clubs. This
action was taken after other fed
eral judges in Georgia and the
southern district at New Orleans
decided that Negroes had the
right to vote in Democratic prim-
aries. The result of this decision
was that, more than 100000 Ne
groes voted in Georgia in the last
elections.
The South Carolina decision is
important because it is the frs
test Of the new device the South
is trying to use to prevent Negroes
from voting in Democratic prima-
ries. Laws similar to the one just
voided by Judge Waring are op-

FIRST BABIES IN
COLONIAL AMERICA

So far as We know, the first
European child born in America
was the little Norseman Snorro,
born about 1907. He went back to
Europe when 3 years old. however,
and 50 hardly counts as an Ameri.
can child.
There were doubtless Spanish
children born at St. Augustine,
which is the oldest town in the
United States. But the first Eng
lish child born in the New World
was Virginia Dare, born in 1887 on
Roanoke Island, now a part of
North Carolina.
Sir Walter Raleigh was trying
to establish colony in this region,
which he called Virginia in honor
OF Queen Elizabeth, the Virgin
Queen; and the little girl was
named for the country. Before
Virginia was 3 years old, the col
ony disappeared, and no one
knows what became Of its people.

In 1920, while the Mayfower was
crossing a cold and wintry sea
with a little band Of Englishmen
seeking homes in the new land,
two baby boys were born. 1t was
decided that they should be called
Oceanus and Peregrine. The first
name is the Latin for ocean, and
the second means wanderer. The
names seemed to fit, as the chill
dren had been born on the ocean
during the wanderings Of the Pill
grims.
"Oceanus! Peregrine! What very
odd names!" you exclaim. Yes, in
deed. and very odd names were
given to many Of the children who
were born in New England in the
days Of long ago. Parents chose
names from the Bible or else gave
names Of the Christian virtues to
their children. Some showed the
conditions under which the little
ones had come into the world.
Many Of them bore such names as
