Since the vote is not contested In Ark
ansas as 10 how man voted last, II mas been
our opinion that the Negro in Arkansas
could make himself felt if he voted indepen-
dent. What We mean is independent Of party,
and. independent Of a dollar. The latter has
had more affect on the Negro leaders IN
leading the Negro voter than any other one
thing. n
We have Negroes in Arkansas who call
themselves Democrats, and We have them VINO
call themselves Republicans. and when the
money IS strong enough We have even seen
some come out publicly and declare lheii
stand with the DixieeRATs.
We sincerely believe that is where ule
Negro makes a mistake, especially, when he
is given no recognition from any of the par
ties
A few years ago when the Negro was en-
franchsed. it was TO his advantage TO get IN

down many of the discriminatory practices
and even then il took court action 10 make the
Demos in Arkansas delete the word white
But today with many young progressive men
in the Democratic party, and the numerical
strength Of the Negro vote. which is growing
yearly. il is our opinion that the Negro Is
rather unwise 10 continue TO wear a label
that is of no benefit TO him.
There are thousands and thousands of peo-
pie on the states payroll, in all departments,
as well as counties and cities. What part OF
this payroll finds itself into the Negroes peck
cts? Positively none. Still you find Negroes
running over the state pleading with the Ne
