John Scudder IN the Democrat
Sunday. Augr6t l5)

Governor Laney said
Thursday that block voting OF Ne
groes was the deciding factor in
the election of Sid McMath and
that he condemned it.
Apparently, the chief executive
has forgotten something about his
own two former elections.
Biggest block voting of Negroes
in Arkansas is in Ward 2, Hot
Springs, home precinct of form
er Mayor Leo P. Mclaughlin. Ov-
er 30 per cent of the voters in
that ward are Negroes. In the past,
Negroes in the Mclaughlin home
ward have always carried pink
slips illegal under Arkansas laws
and voted almost unanimously for
whoever the former Spa political
car selected.
When Laney was first nominat-
ed governor in the 1914 primary,
he received a blanket 1,lO2 votes
from Ward 2. When he came up
Arkansas State press., 1948-08-20
Worth Repeating: The White Press Speaks.

for reelection in 1916, Ward 2
gave him TIT votes to rs or
Candidate Jim Malone.
II he condemned block voting
OF Negroes then, we must have
forgotten about it.
In the same article. Governor
Laney said that in his home Qua
ehita county "the largest part of
the McMath majority came from
Negroes"
The governor continued: Il can
say this because | was there and
saw the voting"
We can say he wasn't supposed
to have seen it Under Arkansas
election laws, you are supposed
to go in and cast your vote and
then stay outside of so feet Of
the polling booths the rest of the
day -

THE CASE OF JACK HOLT

The case of Jack Holt is a pro-
lect worthy Of analysis. Here we
have man who was defeated in
the preferential primary July q
by a plurality of $1,000 votes. And
then, last Tuesday, he was de-
feated in the final primary by ov.
er 10000 votes on the face of I'M
official returns
Mr. Holt has persistently refused
to concede defeat. He is asking for
a recount in a number of coun-
ties. This he has legal and NOR
al right to do. But he maintains
he will NEVER concede defeat.
Taking him at his word. he will
not concede defeat if the official
returns and recounted boxes still
show him short on nomination.
Never" is strong word. The
dictionary at my elbow says il
means mot ever; not at any time
=. not in any degree, in any
way under any conditions"
If Irregularities are found in the
recount land there will be--on
both Sides, Mr.. Holt maintains he
will contest the election. Nothing
wrong with that. But he still does
not modify his statement that he
will never concede defeat There
fore, if the contest shows he is
yet lacking in enough votes for
nomination, he will still be in the
running?
II he will not concede defeat
upon the basis Of official returns,
will not concede defeat upon the
basis of recount, will not con.
cede defeat upon the results Of a.
contes, then why go to the time.
trouble and expense of recounts
and contests?. His attitude wilt
continue in status quo "A
At the same time he is determ
ined on recounts and contests and
refusing to ever concede defeat,
he is lending an ear to proposed
draft" move to run him as an in
dependent in the coming Novem-

The information now at hand
shows that Jack Holt has been
defeated by Sid McMath in two
elections, two weeks apart. II, aft
ter official counts, recounts and
contests. he still refuses to con-

to believe he would accept a de-

whole slate of independent candi-
dates would appear upon the
scene.
The result Of such campaign
would be harvest of bitterness.
old sores would be reopened and
new ones created that would be
years in healing, The states steady
progress in the delicate field of
race relations would be halted, if
not turned back Arkansas would
be plunged back among those po-
litically backward Southern states
whose company she is just now
abandoning mississippi, Alabama,
South Carolina and Georgia
All of this would come at a
time when Arkansas is entering
upon an era that demands a unit
ed people and stable political
structure 1t would hold the state
up to ridicule before the nation,
and undo much of missionary
work which has brought the be-
ginning of an industrial revolution
in Arkansas. II would perhaps
more effectively than any other
single political act, help to secure
the states unenviable position as
47th among the 48th.
Governor Laney once pointed
out that political party depends
upon the willingness of its men,
bers to accept majority decision;
no politician, he said, can expect
to travel with the party when it
suits his convenience, abandon it
when it does not, and return to
it at will It's a sound statement,
and that applies pointedly to the
current situation. In record break
ing numbers the Democrats of
Arkansas went to the polls and
made their choice for governor.
If that choice is confirmed by the
official count of the ballots it GER
tainly should be allowed to stand.
Mr. Holt now has an opportun-
ity to retire from the field with
honor, and to render his state
great service in so doing. We
hope he will hold firm to the de-
cision he indicated in his state
ment yesterday--to limit his con-
test to the party machinery and
the courts and abide by their YER

MR. Hollis DECISION
Arkansas Gazette-August Ia

AS this is written Jack Holt has
apparently turned his back on the
little group Of die-hards who have
been trying to promote his candi-
dacy as a Dixiecrat or indepen-
dent. in the November general
election. This is wise decision
and, we hope, firm one.
Mr.. Holt will go on, he says,
with his contest of the election re-
suits, taking it into court if Mr..
McMath is certified by the Demo-
cratic State Committee as guber-
material nominee. In the face OF
Mr.. McMaths near-10,000 vote
lead in the unofficial returns, Mr..
Hollis protest that he was stolen
out" at the ballot boxes in various
counties seems as unreasonable as
his and James MacKrell's conten-
ton that the press of Arkansas
deliberately falsified the election
results in order to discredit him.
He is, however, within his legal
and moral rights in demanding
a recount or court action if he can
demonstrate a reasonable suspi-
cion of fraud.
The effort to project the guber-
material campaign into the general
election in violation of party
pledges and practices is Pc
culiary bitter business. Such dras-
tic action might be justified if
some high principle were involved
But upon what ground could the
party boilers take their stand? AS
opponents of tentative highway
bond program which will have to
be submitted to the people for
further vote? Surely no political
party could ever split on such
point as that. Civil and or states
rights? There is no issue here, for
Mr. NcMath has expressed person.
al disapproval of the federal civil
rights program and has pledged
active participation in the battle
to protect the rights Of the states.
A careful examination of the re-
cord, indeed, will show no major
difference in the stand of the two
candidateson this issue, except in
the degree of vehemence with
which they discussed it.
Moreover, if Mr.. Holt should
enter the field as a party bolter
the controversy thus touched off
could never be confined to the
governors race. Every Democrat
ic nominee, including the entire
Arkansas Congressional delegation,
would be placed squarely on the
spot. So would Governor Laney.
who has belatedly given Mr.. Holt
his blessing and is now irrevoca-
bly, identified with him. No Of
ficeholder could stand by idly in
the face Of such threat to his
party's integrity; he would have
