ED IN JEFFERSON COUNTY as local would
be politicians fail to set in motion the vehicle
for mass interest. AT time when all citizens
regardless of race or religion ought take
greater interest in the affairs of government,
it is regretted that jefferson county Negro
political leaders are falling to use the oppor-
tunity to emphasize the need for qualifying
Negro citizens to participate in voting Not un-
til some political planners of the wh'" race
announce their objective publicly ald begin
to sound out some of the resurrected Negro
leadership in their behalf does there occur
any semblence of sincerity of purpose in the
great American privilege. 1t was rumored
sometime ago that vigorous effort would be
made to get more Negroes to pay the poll tax.
The move came in the announced plans OF the
newly formed democratic womens auxiliary. So
far as is known from here. no action is being
taken that would command the interest of even
an office seeker Everything seems strangely
quiet. 1t would be blessing if there were more
ambitious white politicians but in this political
ly explosive area there seems to be a gentle
mans agreement which is respected by Negro
politicians wherein no white candidate will
seek to gain advantage at the polls by stirring
up the Negroes. Everybody, including Negro
and white leadership, seems willing to main
tain the status quo, despite the known fact
that there are more Negroes in Jefferson
county than there are white people. Yet, the
Negro leaders are not insistent upon any
participation in the benefits of government, but
the circumstances which afforded them an OPP
portunity for leadership are so uncertain that
they are making a last ditch fight for some
niche of renown in political Hall of Fame. So,
personal favors and the good grace of white
politicians and officeholders prevent them
from asserting their own convictions. While
the present plight of the Negro in jefferson
county is bemoaned the total outlook is good
for the conditions about which complaint is
now made will eventually set-up the political
thinking of the Negro so that violent political
changes when made in this community will be
of permanent democratic benefe. The most
effective campaign now underway in Jefferson
County is being conducted by the liquor in
terests recognizing the fact that eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty II SO happens that
the leader Of the only Negro political organiza-
tion is quite interested in the drive, and as
such may be considered as conducting with
conscientious intent the duties of his position.
However, the same leader is failing the people
over whom he asserts leadership as the organi-
ration and the leader are totally void Of any
educational program designed to qualify Me-
,roes to vote: Let alone venture into the Ameri-
ian right Of running for public office: Or Of
asking the recipients Of Negro voting strength
10 carry out post campaign pledges for the
appointment Of Negroes to the county police
force. God Of mercy when wilt thou save the
peope??
