Voter Must Depend On Own Judgement

In the coming and national elections citizens may
find that they will make their minds about the
candidates and party they will support by remembering the
record and trying read between the lines of reports
statements in the press, radio and via eleviSion.
In American politics in every phase of American
life the heavy intense competition terrific and and
promises of political power and prement influences decisions
and attitudes both of the individual candidates and the po
cal parties
American Negroes going be treated to astound
ing performances by Negro leaders and Negro pubca
tons Such ridiculous made by Negro AME
church bishop Monday to the effect that the Negroes of the
nation going to vote for Eisenhower will be matched by
those of Negro Democratic party fahfus seeking publicity
who "Inow" that the Negroes all for Stevenson.

St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1952-08-01


The Republican convention
quibbled over the matter of civil
rights for Negroes, but so quib-
bled the Democrats. When all is
said and done, the Negro voter
must choose between degrees and
not kind of treatment he must ex-
pect from the Democrats and
Republicans respectively.
Under neither standard will the
Negro receive the first rate citi-
Zenship he so earnestly seeks and
for which he has so abundantly
qualified with his sweat and tears
and blood.
There are liberal southerners
and conservative northerners,
southern Democrats and northern
dixiecrats. Fairness or lack of it,
is not sectional any more. But
the almost astounding fact is,
civil rights as an issue has been
hurtled into the very forefront of
the weighty matters command
ing the attention of the nation.
The thing that should give
heart to the Negro is not the inn
mediate disposition of this mat
ter of civil rights, but the fact
that it is a matter of debate. Be
fore the coming of Franklin Del
ano Roosevelt. it was not even
matter of debate. Before the
coming of Harry Truman it was
