word that "a voteless people is a

Field consultants in eight states
reported these prospects for Ne
gro voting:
ALABAMA - "The future of
Negro voting looks brighter" But
there are still forces at work that
make a major increase seem un-
likely in the immediate future.
GEORGIA - Progress in Negro
suffrage is greatest in urbanized
and industrialized communities and
Georgia is now reaching the
breakthrough point in the distribu-
ton of its population toward the
urban places of residence
Thus the socio-economic trends in
the state are in the direction of
the kinds of situations in which
Negroes are more likely to be
registrants and voters"

ergy to the struggle against seq

ton. But they "are quite capable
of increasing the Negro voting po-
tential :. They are now launching

Negroes of voting age in those
states-as compared with a 60 per
cent registration of eligible white
voters.
These figures come from state
Upstate survey conducted by the
Southen Regional Council, a BIZ
racial group founded in 1914 to
further equal opportunities.
The councils survey also looked
into the question of prospects for
Negro voting in the South and the
measures taken to discourage such
voting. The findings were gather
ed by social scientists and spec
ialists in each of the Southern
states.
The council concluded that
"there will be a continuation of
the steady progress of the past
few years, particularly as econom-
ic and educational opportunities in

growing awareness of the value
of the ballot" will play an i'm

academic rather than a literacy
test"
In Louisiana, applicants are
given a complicated form to fill
and must do it without help. In
most cases completion is regarded
as evidence of literacy, but there
has been wide variation in the
practice of helping applicants and
the strictness with which they are
checked for mistakes.
Louisiana law also allows for
the challenging of a registered
persons right to be on the voting
list. A challenged person has to
respond within 10 days and prove"
to the registrar his right to re-
main on the list. If he fails to
appear, his name is removed auto
matically.
The Colfax Chronicle, a weekly
in Grant Parish, La, reported the
efforts of members of the Citi-
zens Council to disenfranchise the
parish's 864 Negro voters in 1856.

bilities."
LOUISIANA-Negroes make up
Is per cent of the total registra-
ton, the highest percentage in the
South. "Unless the Citizens Coun-
Gil enjoys unexpected success in
its purgative efforts, it would seem
that Negro registration and vot-
ing have become permanent fea-
ture of the Louisiana political
landscape" In areas where Negro
registration is discouraged "there
is likely to be registration break
through in the not too distant flu
ture."
NORTH CAROLINA - Increas-
ing registration, but not in ire
mendous numbers. Counties re-
stricting Negro registration will
continue to use legal tactics to
neutralize the political effective
ness of the Negro, but many of
the registrars who emphasize these
restrictive tactics are old and are
dying out"
SOUTH CAROLINA - Despite
the obstacles placed in the Ne
gro's way, there is evidence that
he is on the move politically. This
can be attributed to the new kind
of leadership found among Ne
groes today"
TEXAS-"The Negro is on the
way toward becoming a major po-
litical force" The school integra-
ton question has given Negroes
"a greater sense of political re-
sponsibility and the change is be-
ginning to show its effects"

to increased suffrage is the cur
