thoroughly than In 1898 Ths.
he won one OF his mors coveted
awards, the Pulitzer Prize for
distinguished reporting.
He went into Kentucky and
dug out afildavits proving that
WPA funds were being used
to influence the Senatorial
campaign. What he found out
touched of a Senate inquiry
bearing out the charges and
prompting legislative action
against use of relief funds In
politics.
Mr.. Stokes gave little
thought to the ironical twist
that he was exposing a flaw
in a New Deal offspring.
Mr.. Stokes, tall, affable. wit
ty man with crinkling eyes and
a ready grin. perhaps cherished
more dearly the Raymond
Clapper memorial award he
won in l947
BY then he had been writing
his column for three years
still hammering away at what
he considered governmental
abuses, or turning neat phrases
on the political aspects of the
day. For it was his obServa-
tions of the political whirl. a;
much as his hard-hitting cru.
sading. that won him a wide
following.
Clapper His Mentor
He was gratified TO win the
Clapper award, for he credited
the late columniSt with teach
ing him all he knew about the
ins and outs Of politics. Mr.
Clapper was his boss as night
manager of the United Press
When Mr.. Clapper died. Mr.
Stokes was selected by United
Features to succeed him as its
political columnist.
The Clapper citation credited
Mr.. Stokes with carrying on in
the "crusading spirit" and fair
ness in reporting while tack
ling tough, controversial ma
tional questions.
Again last February, as Mr.
Stokes lay seriously i'll, the
Clapper Award Executive Com
mittee met especially to ex-
tend to him a special citation
for his high standards through
out the years he worked as
Washington correspondent ano
columnist.
Tribute on Senate Floor
A few days later Senator
Monroney. Democrat of Okla
homa, took cognizance of the
citation with an eulogy of his
own on the Senate floor. Sen
ator Monroney once was q
political reporter in the
Scripps Howard chain with
which Mr.. Stokes also was as
Sociated.
Senator Monroney said Mr.
Stokes was lin the vanguard
of able, high-principled news
men we need as our Nation
faces the dangers of trial by
power"
His courage and integrity
made it possible for Mr. Stokes,
from a prosperous Georgia
family, Ito fight the battle for
the Negro's civil rights with
a vigor and understanding that
no Northerner could surpass;
and to espouse the needs of the
common man with a steadi-
ness that few common men
