Remember Senator Ferguson

We have the highest praise for Michgans Republican
junior Senator Homer Ferguson for the strong fight he
made against bill authorizing southern states to establish
regional schools provide equal educational facilities for
Negroes.
Passage of this bill would be tantamoun to the Con-
gress of the United States perpetuatng segregation
Ferguson said 8" for feel that while there is need
for education for higher education would not be benz
citing education in America by ratfying this compact
II am firmly convinced that segregation in education
good thing and that Congress should sanction
it."
These words uttered by this great fearless American
statesman will become immortal This bill has already pas
sed the House of Representatives but had to get all the
way the Senate before there American big and
broad enough to speak out against il in the name of JUS
tice and fair play.
Michigan voters should remember Senator Ferguson
for his stand for the right when they the polls and
