their own views, and take action
for Republican success, Senator
Taft wrote Mr.. Howard, adding:
''The Republican party has con-
sistently worked for the advance

equality in American life. Many
colored Republicans have been mis-
led by the left-wing appeal under
Communist influence, but it is diff

Samuel H. Sweeney, pastor of st.
Marks Methodist Church, told his

Despite the obstacles and humili-

a slave, he never stopped singing.
Nearly all the Negro institutions
Of the South were built on the
singing of Negro spirituals.
"No matter how difficult the
situations we face and whatever
troubles come into our life, we
must not stop singing. The Bible
is fulfilling. And it was the in
spiration of music that caused the
early Negro leaders to go forward.
when we stop singing we lose

Arkansas Democrat Party's Decision
10 Admit Negro Voters Hailed
As Victory For Democracy
REMOVE WORD "WHTTE"
FROM PARTY REGULATION
State Convention Also Gusts Dixiecrats

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. IS
-OSN)-The names of Negro
voters were admitted to the rolls
Of the Arkansas Democrat Party
here last week for the first time
in the history of the state.
Before taking the history making
decision to recognize The Negro
Democrat voters, the state conven-
ton voted to Dust the Dixiecrats
from the state Democrats Party
organization.

successful climax of the effort to
obtain recognition of the state
Negro Democrat voters which has
been conducted by the Arkansas
Negro Democrats Association I'M
der the leadership of DIR. j. NJ.
Robinson, prominent local physi-
clan.
The admission of the names of
Negro voters to the party rolls
was permitted when the word
white was removed from the
party regulations by the state con-
vention in meeting here last Fri
day.
The arkansas Negro Democrats
Association which has been lead
ing the fight for recognition of
the Negro Democrat vote in the
state hailed the decision as a great
victory for Democracy.

organization a Federal Judge Rul-
ed that Negroes are eligible to
become candidates for nomination

the convention floor attacked the
proposal to permit the names of
Negro voters to be added to the
party rolls; and charged President
Truman, Leon Henderson, and Gov.
Sid McMath of Arkansas with
scuttling the Democrat Party.
