What He breaches

1t fashionable for Minnesota critics of Senator Hubert
H. Humphrey scott his liberal tendencies especially his
repeated position that the T. has right to offer less
than equal opportunity to its minOrities.
Humphrey Minnesota critics this joined by
the collections of Dxecra the Communists the
Gerald K Smiths and others of that k who constantly
looking knk in the junior Minnesota senator's civil rights
No opportunity missed by the professional southerners
to Humphrey readers will remember that section
of the southern daily press used story which appeared in this
paper to prove that Humphrey in way had something to
do with the announced establishment OF Negro parochal
school Paul Our story gleeully twisted show
that that advocate of civil rights and foe of and
religious segregation really from state which was
turning from open nOnsegregaed schools to Jim Crow edu
cational institutions
Responsible southern daies checked their facts and did
the cana but those papers interested keeping
and defending the south pattern of unequal dual schools beat
the drums in their columns, trying their best to make Hum
phrey hypocrte
In this edition of this newspaper story about two
bers of Senator Humphrey staff in Washington who happen
be of Negro ancestry They've been working in his office for
almost years. neither Humphrey his staff have said
anything about it, He has tried capitalize the fact
that he practices what he breaches Remember American
Of Negro ancestry works in the offices Of another single
of the So u s. Senator's all of whom with the exception of
those from North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
Idaho and other states have Aramercan

Not another U. s. Senator apparently considers that
representatives of the Negro the nations largest racial
should be their hired SaffS
tell that this is deliberate omission and evident of the
disregard for their Negro constituents which u s
tors privately have.
The fact that Humphrey since his earliest days WPA
administrator coor-blind when it dealing with
fellow Americans and that he insists being friendly decent
and honest with fellow Americans and that he insists being
friendly decent and honest in his dealings with every
and creed is hard for many of his critics take

the ranks of the scoffer the cyncs and the sbcicycrS
Many of them in Minnesota still cannot believe that
young from this of the nation dominated the
Democratic convention by sincere appeal for equality for all
Americans and today of the nations outstanding
leaders
In Humphrey Minnesota has a representative in the
in whom it take pride He has ability, brains and
cery that lacking in of statesmen Wherever he
goes throughout the nation his listeners impressed by his
great sincerity, which attribute that shines bright in
his speech in his greeting of the people, that easily dis
comfits his opponents, political or otherwise

slider itself qualified snar the political complexities of the
hour Suffice that considers Humphrey capable

Dental nomination of either party. 1t feels that Humphrey
