Calling for support of the Ma

gram, Mr.. Sudduth said, ct is OBJ
vious that without a national pro-
gram, unless we build a business
background for our existing buA-
nesses which will enable them to
compete, and without program
which will encourage new business,
we can't hope to appreciably inn
prove or remove, our present low
position. Negro business and pro-
fessional men and women should

the business affairs Of the nation,
particularly in the ownership and
operation Of retail stores Of all

|SEE INCREASED INTEREST AMONG
NEGR0 clTIZENSIN CITY ELECTION
AS VOTING DAY DRAWS NEAR
Mayor And City Commissioner To
Be Elected In Voting Next Tuesday
Candidates Make No Direct Appeal For
Support of More Than 5000 Negro Citizens
Qualified To Vote In City-Wide Election

Jackson, Miss, May 4.-(DSN)
The interest of Negro citizens in
the local election was seen as
greatly increased during the past
week and according to most in
formed observers would continue
as the main topic of interest as the
day of the voting nears. In the
election which is to be held next
Tuesday the voters of the city will
elect a Mayor and two City Com
missioners.
The major issues in the campaign
center around the city's traffic
problem, high taxes, and street i'm
provements, but among the Negro
citizens probably the most impor-
tant issue is the employment Of
Negro policemen.
With some $500 or more Negro
citizens eligible to cast their votes
in the Tuesday election none of the
candidates have made an open bid
for the Negro voters support.
This is due to the fact that no
candidate has ever openly sought
the support of Negro voters, but
more likely to the fact that be-
cause white voters are seen as al
ways deserving the candidate open
ly bidding for the Negro vote.
The still more likely reason for
the. fact that none of the eandi-
dates have made an open bid for
the support of the Negro voters
is because the number of Negro
voters is not yet large enough to
balance the possible adverse re-
action of some white voters.
While none of the candidates
have come out openly seeking the
of the Negro voters, all of
the candidates are using every
other kind of indirect means to
gain the Negro voters support.
Negro leaders themselves know
ing that their voting is not yet
strong enough to openly endorse a
nor perhaps to seek to
pin them down on the issues inn
portant to the Negro neighbOrhoOds
