To Seek Reelection
From Third District

Roy w Wier, Third District
Congressman, will file for re-elec-
ton this year. In excellent health
and spirits, the siX-term Repre-
sentative is currently busy with
Third District affairs during the
recess of Congress.
When questioned concerning his
campaign plans, Mr.. Wier said, II
am putting first things first-there
is still a lot of work to be done
when Congress reconvenes in Aug
ust."
Celebrating, Rep. Wier said,
The explosive world situation
which is menacing the peace is our
prime concern. I have introduced
a resolution to create a Secretary
of Peace with full cabinet status
as first step in unifying our eff
forts to seek peaceful solutions to
world problems. With a depart
ment of peace as powerful and eff
fective as our department of de-
Tense, we would attain our goal
for lasting peace. Most confidently
and effectively 1 intend to con-
tinue to make this potential force
a realization"
Other problems needing attention
and action by the congress Mr..
Wier pointed out include housing,
medical aid for the aged, aid for
school construction, lower interest
rates, help for small business and
closing tax loopholes.
Congressman Wier went on to
say he runs a Legislative Office"
in Washington and not campaign
headquarters. He will be on the
campaign firing line however, when
Congress adjourns this fall he
stated.

Chicago Pastor Compares
Sugar Quotes With
Civil Piohfs"

Chicago CANP) - Rev. ]. NJ.
Stone, pastor of Stone Tabernacle
Baptist church where the second
of two pre-convention rallies is to
be held prior to the opening of the
Republican National Convention
here, is disturbed about sugar quo
tas and human rights.
In a statement announcing the
westside meeting, Rev. Stone said
the following:
Il never cease to be amazed at
the Chicanery of the present ad-
ministration, both legislative and
executive. Senator Johnson and the
other congressional leaders took
months to pass a civil rights bill
that was weak as water. Then it
took them II hours to cut Cuba s
sugar quota Since they work
so fast on sugar and so slow on
human right, we Negroes, are
going to have to show them who
elects presidents in this country"

kins said, with a clear challenge"
IF the Republican party ac-
cepts that challenge, it will act
favorably upon these proposals and
the country can unite in imple-
menting them next January"
Mr.. wilkins said the So national
organizations comprising the Lead
ership Conference on Civil Rights
express their appreciation to all
those who contributed to the shap-
ing" of the Democratic party docu-
ment.
Mr.. wilkins observed that the
overall theme of the document
appeared to be contained in the
following section which he quoted:
The time has come to assure
equal access for all Americans to
all areas Of community life, in
Guiding voting booths, sChOOlrOoms,
jobs, housing and public facilities"
Throughout, Mr.. Wilkins stated,
the document sets forth the duty
of all the branches of government
to secure these rights and makes
specific commitments for executive
and legislative action in support Of
the eight-point program.
The plank, the NAACP lead
er declared" recognizes that civil
rights is of concern not only to
minority groups, but to America
and to our future as a free and
democratic nation.
1T recognizes that the pace to-
ward equality has been far too
slow.
1T recognizes that the vindic-
ton of constitutional rights can
no longer be relegated to chance
or to the uncertainty of private
resources.
This recognition is marked by
specific language, rather than
by the generalties which have
been the fashion in past years.
The South cannot only live
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-07-22

South, jolted even his Southern
sympathizers, of whom there were
few, though not many.
Southern detection in November
may have been forecast by the
anger of several Southern delega-
lions at the haste with which Flor
ida Gov. Leroy Collins, convention
chairman, rammed through the
motion to make the Kennedy NOM
ination unanimous.
Senator John c. Stennis Cd of
Mississippi asserted that his state
had been promised an opportunity
to switch its votes from it's favorite
son, Gov. Ross r. Barnett, to SEN
ator Johnson. He inferred strongly
that Mississippi was not at all in
favor of a unanimous nomination.
South Carolina gave the same in
dication.
AS the convention began and
the platform began to unfold, plus
the almost certain nomination of
Senator Kennedy, the feeling of
several prominent Southern lead
ers was expressed by a Deep South
politician, who told this CORES
pondent:
Defeat Forecast
The ticket and platform spell
only one thing to me - that is,
defeat And 1 think those Yankee
liberals are trying to get us to
quit the party. Well, we won't
quit, but lot of us are going fish
ing in November, and take our
friends with us"
The Southern feeling is wide
spread now that an ultraHberal
nominee for Vice-President, such
as Senator Hubert H. Humphrey
or Gov. Orval L. Freeman of Min
nesota, will drive the wedge even
deeper.
Another Southern leader feels
that it is an open invitation to
get out and organize a third party,
but we found that wouldn't work
in 1913, so we aren't keen on that
now"
There is a strong feeling among
serious students of Southern pol
itics that this may prove to be a
decisive point in the history of
Southern Democrats. It was point
ed out that it has been exactly
100 years since the last realign-
ment of American politics
A new realignment, with South
ern conservatives leading the way,
is suggested as a possibility, but
not yet a probability.

Sunday morning July II. Hello
to my readers. Sorry to have kept
you waiting 50 long, but I'm happy
to be back to you after attending
the annual Lay convention Of the
Fourth Episcopal District of which
this church is an integral part.
After visiting other churches, it
was good to see and hear our own
Senior Choir as they opened the
morning service singing Holy
Holy, Holy"
The pastor, Rev NJ. L. Simmons,
stated how happy he was to have
DR.. George A. Singleton, editor OF
the AME Review, Philadelphia
bring the message as he was ply
sically worn out after having made
number of trips East attending
various meetings.
DIR. Singleton chose for his sub
ject Repeat ye: For the Kingdom
of Heaven is at Hand" from St
Matt. 80. The speaker pointed
out that according to the book OF
st. John there is only one way to
get into the kingdom, and that is
to make a change, for it is one
thing to Join church and another tC
be a christian.
The speaker further stated that
the church needs to be converted
today more than ever before, and
the whole world needs a change
In conclusion DR.. Singleton asked
the question, will you enter?'
And he further stated when you
change into Gods Kingdom, ii
doesn't mean everything will be a
bed Of roses, as they stoned Christ
so will they stone you.

No Great Surprise
! This is a Southwide feeling on
the part of the longtime politi-
cal observers and several politi-
cal leaders who stayed home and
watched the Los Angeles pro-
Ceedings from comfortable chairs
in front of television sets in their
county courthouse offices.
1t is at these levels that South
ern political influence begins and
is strongest. These are the polite
ians who know the voters best and
what they are thinking. They are
the leaders who bring out the
votes or take them fishing on
Election Day
The nomination of Senator John
F. Kennedy is no great surprise,
but it is something of a shock.
The South favored Senator Lyndon
B. Johnson and appeared confident
right up to the end of the ballot
ing.
Voting for Senator Kennedy will
cause many an agonized appraisal
of the situation in the South.
Campaign Recalled
There are several reasons for
this:
l. Senator Kennedy is blamed
for the ultraliberal platform which
the convention adopted. Southern
ers are aware of the Northern
liberal hostility toward the region.
They feel that Senator Kennedy
organization strength was turned
over to the liberals to force through
the civil-rights plank which is 60
ing to be a real thorn in the flesh
for Southerners.
2. Southerners, as an almost
solid Protestant area, look with
much suspicion on a Roman Cath
Ole presidential candidate.
The bulk Of today's voters have
heard many accounts of the bitter
ness which accompanied the 1928
campaign of Al Smith, another
Roman Catholic. When the solid
Democratic South was split for
the first time since the Civil War.
They recall the cross burnings by
the Ku Klux Khan, the fiery ser
mons from Protestant pulpits, and
the almost daily alarms sounded
by local politicians.
3. The ultraliberal views ex-
pressed by Senator Kennedy him
self have disturbed Southern Dem
ocrats, Before the final weeks pre-
ceding the convention, Senator
Kennedy had been looked upon as
something of a moderate, with
tempered liberal views, which were
excused as necessary considering
his geographical background.
Collins Criticized
But shortly before the conven-
ton, his announcements began to
take on a tinge which Southerners
felt put him on a liberal side well
beyond the Roosevelt and Truman
administrations
This, plus his quoted statements
that he could win without the
