lagrant to print others were
more subdued but still potent
Robert Patterson, 962 w. Cent
raj AV., Sc. PauI-"Certainly I
think the combination Of this DEM
ocradc ticket is going to draw
votes away from the Democratic
party. Although the Democrats ad-
opted a very liberal platform, with
respect to civil rights, it is serious
ly doubted that this Kennedy
johnson combination will support
the platform"
Mrs. Margaret Benton 421S
Portland Av. s., MlnneapOlIs.-'T
don't like 1t for a number Of rea-
sons. No strong stand on civil
rights by Kennedy. The NAACP
feels that both men are not the
winning ticket that Negroes would
vote for. The ticket should have
been reversed even though johnson
is from the Southwest"
Mrs. Victor Galloway, It's Lyle
hart, St Paul. think with q
ticket such as this It makes you
wish you could vote for the man
and not the whole ticket. Obvious
ly johnson was put in to bring in
the Southern bloc. I think Ken
nedy has proven more fortnight
than I had thought at first"
Theodore Jones, S622 Srd Av. g.,
MInneapOlis.-"rm not 50 fond
of johnson but I like Kennedy,
especially on civil rights. I think
the democrats have a good chance
to win with this ticket"
Mrs.. George Berry ST., 99I Full
Ter AV., St Paul.-'T really think
the ticket is pretty good but I
believe 1t would have been better
without Johnson"
Edward AGcAEOOre, 4l6 Il. 25th
st., Minneapolis. - II definitely
like them, especially their strong
civil rights platform"
John Banks, ST., 79l Fuller AV.,
st. Paul. don't care too much
about 1t because I don't believe
they're really favorable to the race
problem"
Mrs. Robert williams, 1224
Queen AV. NJ, MinneapOlls.-"I am
not enthusiastic about the ticket
but I am very much impressed
with the civil rights platform.
However, II Rockefeller pulls an
upset in Chicago, he'll be a very
attractive candidate for many
minority group members"
Mrs. Wilbur Cartwright, 7O6
IgIehart, st. PAUL. like Ken
nedy but johnson Is a question
that viii have to be answered
later"
Leonard Madden, $3.50 9Th AV.
s., MinneapOlis.-"I think its a
rotten setup! The world has been
misinformed."
James Reeves, Jr., 2226 Scudder,
st. Paul.-"It isn't the ticket I
would have chosen-I would rather
a Stevenson-Kennedy ticket or the
latter being paired with liberal"
Henry JOsey, 1858 4th Av. s.,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has over
looked the past history Of politics.
Maybe this is an awakening that
the world needs.
Mrs. EarIyn Bell, 4O1 HOyt AV.,
st. Paul.-'Tm terribly disappoint-
ed that Stevenson did not win but
I think that Kennedy, with his
political machine and johnson,
with his southern bloc should re-
ceivc enough votes to win the cleo
ton.
Luther T. Prince, Jr., A41 6th
AV. s., ALInneaPOhs.-"Tm very
with the Kennedy-John-
son ticket. Though I traditionally
vote democrat IL Rockefeller IL
I'll vote republican"
Mrs. Clarence Roper, 9S2 Fuller
Av., St. PauI-"At first had the
feeling Senator Kennedy was too
young and too inexperienced, but
with Senator johnson, there Is
balance. I feel it's strong ticket
Of course the civil rights platform
the things we've been
asking for but, there will be the
problem of seeing that they are
carried thru"
George wills, 1904 IgIehart Av,
st. Paul saId.-'"The ticket is anti
Negro to a certain extent, how
ever Sen. Kennedy would do what
the platform calls for. However, I
don't believe they can carry out
the party platform because OF the
10 states who rebelled"
