I TEXAS FOR IKE,
NEGROES FOR
ADLAI
BY CARTER WESLEY

HOUSTON, Tex. - (ANP) -
Negroes voted in greater numbers
Tuesday than ever before since
they broke the primary in 1914.
! Around some of the polls the line
formed for as much as a block,
and never really disappeared un-
til the polls were closed at z pm.
Of great interest was the fact
that Negroes were voting in mix
ed precincts in great numbers. It
was almost impossible to pass
precinct where you did not see
some Negroes sprinkled in the
line, waiting to vote, even in pre-
cinctS that would be thought to
be white entirely.
AT least from rs to IS per cent
of the Negro vote in this area was
for Stevenson. In one box Of
1900 votes, Eisenhower got IA
votes. But there was, a scattering
of Eisenhower support among
Negroes.
There was no opposition to Ne
groeS voting, and no clashes or in
cidentS anywhere, depite the large
number that turned out.
Texas went Republican for the
first time since 1928 when Hoo
yer carried the state. It doesn't
mean that there is a stronger Re-
publican party, the dissident Dem
ocrats led the movement in favor
of Ike, and the struggle will be
between the Conservative Demo-
Gratis and the Loyal Democrats in
the future, rather than between
the Democrats and Republicans.
1t has been strongly rumored
that Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, wife
of the publisher of the Houston
Post and former head of the
WACs, had been promised a cab
met position by Eisenhower If he
won. Another interesting idea is
that Texas going for Eisenhower
may not promise any good for
Lyndon Johnson, who comes up
for reelection in 1854, since Shiv-
ers, current governor, is likely to
be against him and will be in the
saddle on the winning side.

AUGUSTA VOTES
FOR STEVENSON,
ELECTS IRWIN
BY LILLE 3. HARRIS

AUGUSTA, Ga. - (ANP) -
The state of Georgia retained its
record for having always voted
the Democratic ticket, but Rich
mond county voted overwhelm-
ingly for Eisenhower.
Negroes voted in large num-
bers, the majority, voting for
Stevenson. There was no disorder
at the polls. Nothing apparent was
done to retard the voting of Ne
groes, though in the larger wards,
some were in the line perhaps an
hour before voting, but everyone
had a chance to vote.
According to the record 6,005
Negroes were eligible to vote in
this county, and most of them
went to the polls.
Interest was somewhat divided,
as the county unit amendment was
to be considered. This is the BRAIN
work of Gov. Herman Talmadge,
designed to reduce the voting
power of the larger cities, and in
crease that of the smaller coun-
ties. It was defeated, in a large
way.
In the third ward, w. c. Erwin,
business manager of Paine coll
lege, was a candidate for a seat
on the board of education, of this
county. He won over his oppon-
ent, r. J. Wilkinson, a white man,
with a plurality vote of SCI, with
921 votes to 352. This ward has
more Negro voters than White.
This is the first time a Negro has
been elected to this position.
There are 1,293,S15 registered
voters in Georgia, of this number
146,176 are Negroes. Most of
these voted, even the very aged,
who had to almost be carried to
the polls. Never has there been so
much interest among our people
in voting, since they had to stand
in the rain all day.

FLORIDA LIKES IKE
BY H. {. S. REEVES

MIAMI, FLA. - (ANP) - The
election is over. The Republicans
have won.
Florida, like several southern
states, crossed the Democratic
border and gave General Eisen-
hover a majority of her 1,215, OBS
votes, securing the 10 Electoral
votes for the General.
There is no doubt that the stress
laid upon the Korean War during
the latter part of the campaign by
Gen. Eisenhower, and his promise
to 60 to Korea, had their influ-
ence upon thousands Of voters as
they went to the polls. To them
election of the general would
bring us nearer the end of the
war, and that is what they want.
There are 288,O86 REGISTERED
voters in Dade county - the lar
gest number in the State of Flor
ida. OF these 267,919 are White
and 20, ,167 are Colored. There are
238,825 White Democrats and
1888 Colored, making total Of
256,22S.
The Republicans have 30,358.
OF these 1888 are colored and
27,670 White.
The Progressives have 284
White and II Colored.
Other parties, LAO White and
10 Colored.
During the campaign represen-
tatives of both parties visited Dade
county. There were for the Re-
publicans: Gen. Eisenhower and
his running mate, Sen. Nixon, Ar
chibald J. Carey, a member Of the
Chicago city council, and a prom
lent AME minister.
Congressman William L. Daw-
son, representative of Illinois; Mrs.
Edith Sampson, Chicago attorney
and an alternate delegate to the
United Nations General AsSemb-
ly and Gov. Stevenson.
There were three different
groups working on behalf of Gov.
Stevenson: The You're Democratic
Association, DR.. Elmer Ward,
president; the Pioneer club, Dr..
Ira P. Davis, president; and the
Committee to Elect Governor
Stevenson, Atty. John Johnson,
chairman.
On the Republican side Mr.. D.
A. Douglas and the Rev. Hyman
Evans were chief champions for
the cause.
In some counties in Florida,
Negroes receive no encourage
ment whatsoever in registering
and voting. Not so in Dade coun-
ty. The officials and the public in
general now encourage registra-
ton and voting at all elections.
Dade county is growing up po-
litically, and in some interracial
aspects, is ahead of many states.

Windstorms and lightning did
widespread damage in several OF
tawa county communities Monday
and Tuesday nights.
A bolt of Tightening struck the
bell tower of St. Boniface
Catholic Church at Oak Harbor
during the storm Monday evening
causing damage to the church
roof and interrupting the electri-
cal service of nearby homes in
GLIDING the priests residence.
Father Urban j. Burkhart, st.
Boniface pastor, reported the bolt
struck the southeast turrett of the
tower at $50 p. m. Falling bricks
damaged the tile and copper roof
ing allowing water to fall through
on both the side affairs and in
front of the main altar.
The shock shifted the position
of the bells on their sills and pre-.
vented their being rung at the
usual times until again safely
moored. The main bell weighs
1900 pounds.
The tightening left its mark on
many of the surrounding trees.

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago -
(SpeciaD- -Stoutly upholding Ot
tawa County's tradition as one of
Democracy's strongholds in Ohio,
an enthusiastic band of represen-
tative party workers have made
their presence felt in the wide
open, historic Democratic National
Convention here this week.
Among the first to arrive on the
scene were two sisters, Mrs. Cliff
ford Snider of Erie Township and
Mrs. Otto Bolte, of Graytown
They made the trip by train last
Friday and expect to return home
by plane after the convention has
selected the two candidates they
are confident will be "the next
president and vice president"
Both ladies are veterans of a
number of Democratic campaigns
in Ottawa County and each lost
little time in plunging into the
Battle for Tickets to convention
hall.
Ducats Are Scarce
Only 40 ducats were allotted to
the entire Ohio delegation but Of
tawa Countians succeeded in Sc
curing three of these for the very
first session.
Prosecuting Attorney Myron A.
Rosentreter, who checked in at the
Sherman Hotel on Sunday, was
one of the observers who succeed
ed in gaining seat at convention
hall along with Mrs. Snider and
Mrs. Bolte, thereby giving Ottawa
County lopsided advantage over
Ohioans from the other 81 count
les.
Leaders in the Ohio delegation
demonstrated unconcealed delight
over the enthusiasm of the Ottawa
County group. State Chairman Eu-
gene H. Hanhart personally greet
ed the visitor at Ohio headquar.
ters in the Sherman Hotel and ex-
pressed confidence in Ottawa
County's ability to deliver sub.
stantial majority for the entire
Democratic ticket in November.
Ottawa Delegation Swelis
Talk among the Ohio delega
ton was that the Ottawa County
group would include a number of
other prominent Party workers
before the conventions close.
A. w. Kalb, former Port Clinton
postmaster and ex-state legislator
is expected, as is George. Floro
nephew of Mrs. Mana Os
borne, party stalwart in Carroll
Township.
Mrs. Snider and Mrs. Bolte also
had received word of the possible
attendance of Miss Margare
Kramb, leader in the woman's
division in Salem Township.

AS a result of the storm, con-

of getting federal aid and making
a hard top runway, to solve the
