About
The wonderful chance the voters of Ward Nine have
got to place colored in the position of Repre-
sentative An opportunity that only creates itself
natural once in decade is available to those who
are looking to the future of the community. With
the country fighting a slow but winning battle
desegregation and the world slowly but surely giving
recognition to the colored man an intelligent
and capable citizen of the universe, Massachusetts,
particularly the City of Boston, whose pride has al
ways been in their culture and recognition of educa-
ton and advancement, need look to their door
and yards and at what is within the boundaries Now
is time for the colored to show that he believes
there are men amongst our own race qualified to
hold positions as leaders of their communities For
the many people who say loudly that all are
created equal that they not the color of skin
or the environment to which he was born but only
that he stand a among men for the things
which are only mans ultimate birth right. The Dem
ocratc leaders have pledged support to man who
they feel has the qualifications to represent us not
only as race but entire group of humanity for
the betterment of all. He is Mr.. T. L. Davis. It is
up to you the voters the people to give your support
to the men who BIS your leaders have devoted much
time to the evaluation of the qualifications of the
right candidate 1t is your privilege to vote in the
primary nominations on February 18th and if you
do the possibilities of co1ored representing YOU
for the next two years is almost certainty
