the election of Flint attorney Otis
NJ. Smith as auditor general, max
ing him the first Negro ever cleo
ted to a statewide administrative
position.
st. Louis contributed its share
by electing to the state senate its
first Negro, Theodore M. McNeal
an official of the Brotherhood OF
Sleeping Car Porters headed by A
Philip Randolph.
Elsewhere scores of Negroes
were elected or reelected to seats
in the state legislatures and city
councils and to other local politi-
cal posts.
But in a year when every vote
proved of vital Importance to the
fortunes and futures of the two
presidential candidates, the Negro
vote took on added significance.
Generally the Negro vote
helped swell the slim Democratic
majOrities Kennedy and the Dem
Ocratic tickets rolled up in the
large northern cities.
In fact the large Negro Demo
cratic majorities in such places as
Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis, New
York, Los Angeles and Philadel.
phia helped offset the suburban
and small town COP majorities
thus saving the states for the
Democrats.
Nationwide, Negroes who de-
serted the Democratic party to
vote for Eisenhower in 1852 and
1856 returned to the Democratic
fold either disenchanted by Ike's
weaknesses on key civil rights
issues or Iured by Democratic
pledges.
However, there were some not
able exceptions to the general Dem
ocratic trend of the Negro vote
These were in Memphis, Atlanta
Little Rock and several other
Southern cities where Negroes
voted for Nixon as a protest
against Southern Democratic re.
sistence to civil rights programs
or in an effort to support a move
for a two-party system.
In Little Rock, for example, the
Negro COP vote was definitely one
of protest against Gov. Orval Eau
bus who went on to win a land
slide victory for a fourth tern
despite it. The fact that Winthrop
Rockefeller was campaigning Wig
orously for the COP ticket also
had its affect on the Negro voter
1t is a safe assumption that
the Negro vote was also instru-
mental in the defeat of Faubus'
proposed amendment No. SO, the
sO-caIled school closing measure
which was rejected by 3 to l
vote.
In most instances the Negro
vote was one of discernment. II
Memphis while the Negro vote
went to Nixon, it also supported
Estes Kefauver. the Democratic
senator in his race for reelection
It was estimated that $4,000 Ne
gro voters were included in the
more than 100000 who cast vote.

lima vote which. went Democratic
Negroes bucked the trend in Re
publican Kentucky by voting IL
Louisville overwhelmingly for Ken
nedy. In the Negro precincts Ken
nedy ran ahead by 57.4 percent t.
76.6 percent.
The religious issue which helpeC
Nixon in some areas and Kennedy
in others, generally aided Kennedy
in Negro sections.
The Negro as an issue also in
fIuenced the voting, as in At

BUCKINGHAM, May 26 A
carnival atmosphere reigned at
the second annual fox trapping
jubilee staged in Buckingham
county, May II.
The event, the climax to a
lhree-month program of intensi-
fled trapping of the elusive ami
NAL, was sponsored by the
Game Conservation Club.
Cash prizes were awarded to
the three persons submitting the
largest n u m b e + of tails for
counting. S. E. Kitchen turned
In IA to take the first place
prize of SIS. Second was C. NJ.
Townsend with 13. He received
$40. Lawrence Newton ranked
third for a S. prize and IL tails.
Prizes were based on the num-
Der OF foxtails turned in at Shep-
herds pasture.
The total take for the three
month program was only 80,
down considerable number
from year ago. This was at
tributed in part by members of
the club to the successful pro-
gram a year ago when the fox
population stood a vast reduc-
ton. Snow and bad weather dur
ing the trapping season also
trimmed the number caught this
year.
Several club members indicat-
ed that more than 80 foxes were
caught, but that people who
caught one or two didn't bother
to compete in the contest.
The program is designed to
reduce the spread of rabies and
to offer added protection to
game.
