House at 1880 p. m.
Dawson, one of the three Negro
Congressman representing the l6
million Negroes in the national
legislative body is directing the
campaign for Stevenson and Ke-
fauver among the Negro voters.
A controversial figure, Dawson
has reigned as titular head OF
American Negro Democrats for II
years. He is a power in Illinois and
is credited with being influential
in last years Chicago mayorality
campaign where he backed Rich
ard Daley for the Democratic
nomination and later helped him
gain the top job in Americas sec
ond largest city
Chicago Newspapers opposing
Daley made much of the power of
Dawson and he was the target of
a vicious attack.
Recently the Congressman was
under fire for what observers say
was his lack of push for a strong
er civil rights plank in the Demo-
cratic platform.
Dawson's retort was that the
plank was the strongest civil
rights plank ever adopted by an
American political party and he
chose to do his political service
not in the headlines but in the
councils of the party.
Dawson was attacked BY the
Chicago branch of the NAACP
after the Democratic convention.
but he brushed il off with a shrug
because, as he asserted, 'Tn this
business of politics if you are rea-
sonably successful in serving your
party and its members you are
bound to be the object of unfair
attacks, often from even fairmind-
ed people who just do not under
stand the political facts of life. +"
The powerful N. Y. Times of
March s, this year in discussing
the man who will speak in the
Twin Cities Sunday, said of him:
Representative William l..
Dawson, Democrat of Illinois, who
will be 20 years old April 20,
probably has more political power
than any other member of his race
in the United States.
He is the first Negro Chair

Congress since reconstruction

are on display we are not sur
prised at our faith. We are only
amazed at the continuing strength
of Il in the white liberal.
We thought this while we sat In
the orchestra pit where the pres
tables were, during the public
meeting of the Elks convention, al
which Martin Luther King, OF
Montgomery, spoke.
Every so often, we'd crane our
necks and look out over the jam,
packed audience, and here and
there sat a white person we know
and knew TO be a liberal, who had
come not as those sitting on the
platform had, 10 be seen and "a
get kudos from their constituents,
or other interests for coming, but
who had come in their own inter
est, either because they wanted 20
hear Martin King, or because they
had been beguiled by the high
sounding program of the Elks
convention into thinking there was
something" there.
Negro leadership, we thought
as we sat there and listened 90
10 expounded. this present Ne
gro leadership, In general, has
had IL. When, we asked our.
selves, Is the new leadership OF
the Martin King iIk, going 10
rise?
The Elks are a case in point.
We understand the membership
figures, as well as a lot Of other
figures quoted by the organiza-
ton about itself, have a lot OF
yeast in them .. And while we
are on the subject, we think the
most dastardly 'blow-up' Of all,
the claim that the organization
has given $1,000 TO the Mont
gomery bus boycott, II the claim Is
not true.
The Rev. King, who Is a very
judicious and considerable man, al
belt. a very honest one, had no de-
sire to Islander or embarrass his
hosts who had invited him here 70
address their biggest meeting. but
he isn't about to tell a lie, either.
SO that when, in utter conf.
dence, we mentioned the Elks
claim to having given $4,000 to the
he seemed TO hesitate
a bit.
Alerted. we asked him point
blank, then, had the organization
done as IL claimed?
He didn't think so" OF course,
he could be wrong but ne thought
he would know about such a large
donation as that We didn't be-
labor the point, but we have his
promise TO look into the matter
upon his return to Montgomery.
But yeast in their membership
figure Of 500 900 or not, the EIks
stin are a sizeable organization,
Of maybe the National
convention, the biggest
Negro group in the world
And Its leadership on the M
tional level Is pathetic.
You need no further evidence
than this so-ealled Civil Liberties
meeting 10 sustain a charge such
as this.
