Well, Ranger Joe Honey Fla

The SenaiorshiD Contest

ing side who is closely tied up
with the parry organization, Is
under rhe obligation not TO utter
any criticism Of the winner af-
ter the voting is over. This Is q
vel understood condition Of the
cOntest, rule Of the game, which
nobody should complain of.
But > person who has no active
connection with the party or
ganization. who is not 4tin poll
tics" but is only q member Of the
rank and file, one among multi
tude Of citizens. Is under no OBJ
ligs.ion 70 stop saving what be
thinks u the way q candidates
campaign was conducted just be-
cause tlsat candidate came out
the winner.
The chronicle Of q political
contest that only tells which can
didate won and not how the con-
test was conducted omits a legi-
tinate part Of the record. In
deed, this may turn out 70 be
more important historically than
the result of the vote. For exam
pie, nobody outside the circle Of
q few scholars knows what meas
ures were passed BY Parliament
in the early years Of George The
Third, but the unscrupulous
methods used by +the kings
men, in putting these measures
through are q famous part Of
English history.
Willis Smith won in Last Sat
urdays primary, by 19,5W votes
out Of q total Of $780, PIT. He re-
ceiyed 51.8 per cent Of the vote
TO Frank Graharn's 48.2 per cent.
Smiths victory was impressive
because it was a surprise, be-
cause he won it after Graham
had come out far ahead Of him
In the first primary. II there had
been no such reversal-if this
second primary had been the on
Iy one and had turned out just
as it dic-eyerybody would be
talking about the narrowness Of
the margin.
There is no doubt whatever
that Smith would never have OBJ
tanned this margin if he had not
injected the race Issue into the
campaign-if it had not been for
the repeated assertions in which
he and his agents pictured Gra-
ham as an advocate Of the aboli-
ton Of segregation by federal
law.
] have talked to many persons
well informed about the charac-
ter of the Smith campaign
throughout the State, and every
one of them declares there Is no
possible explanation Of the result
of the primary but the success
Of the Smith forces In making
q considerable number of voters
believe what they said about Gra-
ham. This agrees with what ]
have observed in my own section
and with what ! am told by ex-
perienced political observers
among newspapermen and law
yers. / have never known a mat
ter on which opinion is nearer to
unanimous.
The assertions made by Smith
about Graham's position on the
race question-and when | say
Smith / mean him and his agents
were outrageous misrepresen-
tations. They were contradicted
absolutely by the well authenti-
Gated record, but Of course there
are many people who are not ac-

A prominent citizen Of an
eastern North Carolina town. a |
man who bears q name honored
in North Carolina for genera
tons. brought to Raleigh one day
this week specimens Of circulars
and other printed matter that
had been circulated By Smith adj
herents denouncing Graham
One ot toe circulars bore q pic
ture showing white children and
Negro children in close associa-
tion, with the statement that this
was what would come about if
Graham were elected.
The visitor TO Raleigh, dis
playing This literature said:
This SORT Of thing was circulat-
ed through twelve or fifteen east
ern counties. Maybe more, but /
am talking about counties ! hap
pen 70 be familiar with. These
are counties with heavy Negro
populations, some Of them with
3 majority Of Negroes. You can
Sc the effect if you look at the
record of the yote-the large
falling Of in the Graham vote
between the first and the second
primaries.
One circular spread around in
the east showed Negroes sitting
idle on q porch looking at white
people working in q field, with
text saying that people VINO voted
for Graham would be voting for
that. There were handbils say
ing that vote for Graham was
a vote for the mingling Of white
and Negro children in school
rooms and other places.
OF course such disreputable
underground, or seni-under-
ground, activities were not part
Of Willis Smiths own campaign
ing program. But he could not
have been unaware Of them, and
nobody heard Of his doing any
thing TO discourage them. They
were pursued on his behalf, and
he certainly cashed in on them !.
The people who voted for Will
lis Smith did 80 for various rea-
sons. Some voted for him because
they disapproved Of Frank Gra-
hams progressiyeness some, be-
cause Of hostility to Scott, who
had appointed Graham to the
Senate and was now supporting
him; some, because Of hostility
TO the Truman administration,
Of which Graham has been, in
general, q supporter. But all
these people had voted for
Smith in the first primary. What
turned the tide--what provided
the margin that gave Smith the
victory, the difference between
48.2 per cent and 5l.8 per cent
was the switch Of votes from
Graham TO him between the two
primaries; and this switch was
unquestionably due 10 the con-
tinued brazen Misrepresentation
Of Frank Graham's views on the
race issue. II was a misrepresen-
tation campaign on the upper
level; and on the lower level,
where it was won, it was a hate
campaign in virulent form.
Frank Graham conducted a
decent and dignified campaign,
without denunciations, without
imputing bad motives to any \
body, without bitterness. Willis
Smith won the Senatorship. /

evidently with a view to trousseau, and
she barely nodded when said good-by.
On the train sat next to Frank Nesbit, the
man who had rented our gardeners cottage
and bit of ground from us about the time
Eve came back from Reno. He had been
something to the New York police force, but
he had come into some money and retired.
He played good game of bridge, so now and
then we had him up for game, or went down
to the cottage rather thought Eve inter-
ested him. I'd caught him watching her now
and then. So was not surprised when he
asked: 'How's your pretty sister,"
HEN and there I was tempted to talk to
him. I don't know what there is about
beard that so far as am concerned removes
a man from the usual competition and puts
him in the patriarchal class. But after all he
had been policeman, and what had Eve to
do with the police?
She's all right, said. 'In fact she claims
she's going to be married again.
He looked at me quizzically.
''Only Claims" he said. "Any doubt
about it. Miss Roberta?"
''Well, you know Eve" said evasively
Il never know whether she means what she
says or not.
