Negro Editors Agree

oroes believe the Democratic Par
tv has the better record on the
racial issue. They prefer the Dem
ocratic plank on civil rights; tney
were impressed by the fight ina.
Mr.. Truman made to get the CIVIL
rights bills through Congress: ana
they consider Stevenson's attltuoe
more friendly than Eisenhower 5:
Many Negroes are suspicious OF
Eisenhower because, as Chief OF
Staff. he failed to eliminate ra-
cial segregation in the Army,
Segregation in the Army rankleS
NEGROES more than any other form
of what they consider discrlmina-
ton. Ill.,,
Again. with few exceptions, they
generally aren't disturbed by tne
Negro editors say that Negroes
fact that Stevenson's running
mate, Sen. John j. Sparkman OF
Alabama, has persistently fought
the civil-rightS bills. The Negro
editors point out that Sen. Rich
ard M. Nixon of California also
has opposed much of the civil
rights program, and they add that
Nixon hasn't the excuse OF being
a Southerner. Reports Emory
Jackson of The Birmingham
(Ala.) World:
"Negro leaders, considering the
relative conditions of the resi-
dent states of the two Vice Pres
idential candidates, regard Spark
man as the lesser of two evils.
They can understand - while
disapproving - his vote record
on FEPC, but are puzzled by that
of Senator Nixon"
One of the few dissenters
among the Negro editors, c. A.
Scott of the Atlanta (Ga.) Daily
World, says he believes there
will be a shift in the Negro vote
this year." He explains: There
is a feeling among voters that
Eisenhower has great personal
popularity in the South, and, it
elected President, he would re-
ceive less resistance from the
South than would Stevenson in
meeting the issue of racial dis
elimination. They like the spec
cific pledge to eliminate segre-
cation in Washington The
fact of Sparkman's sixteen-year
unfavorable record on various
issues affecting the Negro will
contribute to the shift"
Civil Rights and FEPC: In con-
trast. H. E. S. Reeves of the Mi
ami Times declares: 1.-THE major
ity of Negroes in the state of Fla
will vote the Democratic ticket.
Vice Presidential candidate
Sparkman is not generally popu-
lar but gaining, and will not hurt
the vote for Governor Stevenson.
The chief issues among Negroes
this year are civil rights and
FEPC. They believe the Demo-
cratic platform is the more fav-
orable and they admire the way
Stevenson is conducting his cam
paign."
Other typical comments:

Plaindealer in Kansas City, Kan:

easily demonstrated. Ohio offers
the best example. About 100000
Negroes voted there and 100000
of them are believed to have sup
ported the President. And Mr..
Truman carried the state by only
7,107 votes. The situation was
much the same in California and
Illinois.
The Negro vote may prove even
more important this year. For the
Negro population has kept in
creasing - and precisely in those
states with the largest electoral
votes. Negroes now constitute 9.8
per cent of the population in New
York City, al per cent in Chi
cago, 1853 per cent in Cleveland,
1874 per cent in Detroit, 1873 per
cent in Philadelphia. And in the
North, Negroes can vote freely.
They not only can; they do. A
Roper survey recently showed
that 81 per cent of the eligible
Negroes in the North have voted
at least once in the past four
years, compared with the nation
al average of 81 per cent.
Negroes are voting in ever-in-
creasing numbers in the South,
too. Since 1948, the Negro vote
has doubled there.
Drive for Registration: More
over, this year, the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People, Negro fraternal
organizations, and Negro news
papers have been conducting in
tensive drives to get Negroes to
register. Although registration has
increased generally, the rise in
registration among Negroes has
been especially sharp.
In Florida, for example, where
about 100000 Negroes voted in
1948, more than 10000 are now
registered-112,846 as Democrats
and 8,O45 as Republicans. In
Louisiana, where $4,000 voted in
'48, some 10000 are on the reg
istration roles. In Arkansas, pur-
portionately more Negroes than
Whites have been paying their
poll taxes and $4,000 Negroes are
expected tovote this year, as COM
pared with 1948's total of 10000.
$n North Carolina, where $4,000
Negroes voted in '48, the regis
tration indicates that more than
100000 will this pear.
Until 1884, the Negro vote in
the United States was over
whelmingly Republican. Negroes
voted with the same single-mind-
edness for the COP as Southern
Whites for the Democrats, and for
precisely the same reason - the
Civil War. The COP was the par
ty of Abraham Lincoln. The switch
came in 1886. The reasons for 1t
were largely economic. The Ne
groes, who had suffered most
from the depression, thought they
were helped most by the early
New Deal, and particularly by
the WPA and the farm program.
Racial Issue Primary: The ra-
cial issue first started taking on
importance during the war, but
the nations Negro editors agree
that it has now become the No. l
issue, dwarfing all others, includ-
ing corruption and the Korean
war. And, with few exceptions,
the editors agree that most Ne
