to the Constitution of the United
States. Very recently the
Supreme Court of the United
States decided that the require
ment by a State of reasonable
literacy tests as a condition for
voting was a proper exercise
of it's constitutional powers -.
For our part, we are opposed
to the establishment of a gov
ernment by the idiots and the
ignorant for the idiots and the
ignorant =.
There is no constitutional
requirement that racial dis
elimination be ended in public
education. All that the courts
have said on this subject is
that if a State chooses to estab-
lish and maintain a public
school system, the children in
the schools of that system may
not be segregated by the STAN
dard of race or color. If the
people of any State choose to
abandon. their public schools
rather than to integrate them,
no court or congress may COM

Fellow Democrats, if we
would reflect upon it, the big

In this platform plank it is
stated: THE right to vote is
the first principle Of Self-gov-
ernment. The Constitution also
guarantees to all Americans
the equal perfection of the
laws" These sentences are
high-sounding, but they ignore
a proper application of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
Repeatedly the Supreme
Court of the United States has
held that a PERSONS right to
vote is derived from the laws
of a State. The State pre-
scribes the ages, the length of
residences required, the educa-
tional qualifications required,
and all other reasonable quail
f1cations it deems necessary
and advisable for the general
welfare of its citizens. The
only constitutional restrictions
on this right of any State is
that it shall not be abridged
or denied by reason Of race,
color or previous condition of
servitude.
The members of Congress
Senators and Representative
are chosen by the people of the
several States comprising this
Union. They are answerable tc
their people at home. What is
their duty. what is their code
of ethics, is to be determined
by them and those who choose
them. They have the power
under the Constitution to en-
force that document and all
amendments to it by appropri-
ate legislation. What is or Il

appropriate legislation under
the power delegated to Congress
is for determination by the
courts. 1t is the duty of the
President to see to it that the

Gratis of the Southern States
have sent delegates to this
1860 convention whose aim
was and is to unity the party
and restore constitutional gov
ernment in this land OF ours.
Notwithstanding, the South
ern States are still being sub
| ject to a campaign of studied
vilification. The climax of this
campaign is the so-called civil
rights" proposal in the plat
form just adopted by a major
ity of this conventions Plat
form Committee. In a continu-
alton of our efforts to unity
the Democratic Party, to help
insure that the voters Of our
States support the nominees
of this convention, and still re-
tain their self-respect. we re-
quest delegates from all States
to join with us in rejecting
that portion of Section w of
the proposed platform entitled
"civil rights. We call upon
delegates from all the States
lof this Union-North. South,
East and West-to join with
us in defending against the
calculated effort which is be-
/ ing made by the radicals of
both political parties to drive
the States of the South from
the Democratic Party.
Upon the adoption of the
proposed civil rights" plank
in the meeting of the Platform
Committee on July II, 1860,
we read and fled a simple dis
sent, stating that we emphati-
cally repudiated those provi-
sions incompatible with the
Constitution of the United
States, which understakes to
esta blish an indestructible

The footsteps Of time have fin
ally caught up with us and we find
ourselves In a most uncompromis-
ing situation; we can never return
to yesterday and our childhood, and
we can't 60 into the future. Our
only recourse Is to learn from the
past, apply 1t to the present and
plan or should I say hope for fu-
ture. With this in mind we should
drive on in a relentless surge to
better ourselves. And by doing this
we viii achieve our end; to find
a place in this society.
This doesn't mean we must crush
everything that stands In our way
For as we follow that road 1t viii
lead to self destruction. Seeing az
we are young adults, the road to
the future goes in many directions
and only by following the right one
can we assure ourselves Of self re-
spect from others and peace Of
mind.
On Saturday evening, October
20, 1860, Miss Barbara Banas OF
Minneapolis gave an informal
party which brought together Min
neapolis and st. Paul students and
none-students who are interested
in the s. F. I. (Students For In
tergration). The officers Of the
organization are: Harry Stein
president; Mike Klein, Vice Presi-
dent; 10 Addie Munson, treasurer
and Paula Nevis, secretary.
The purpose Of this organization
is to acquaiht the students, their
friends, their family, and the
people in their environment that
such a thing as segregation does
exist right here in the Minneapolis
st. Paul area. The first problem
of this organization is open occu-
pancy, and believe me this is q
prodigious problem facing the s
F. I. and you, the reading public
regardless Of race, creed or color

officers were Janice Crabb, Mary

Wildlife Service Answers Questions on
Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations

hunt on their own lands, must
have a duck stamp on his per-
son, and each hunter must vail
date it by writing his name in
ink across the face of the stamp.
! QUESTION 2: Do you have
to have a duck stamp to hunt
other migratory birds besides
ducks and geese?
/ ANSWER: No. You only need
stamp to hunt ducks, geese,
and brant. A stamp is not re-
quired for hunting woodcock,
snipe, rails, gallinules, coots
(the coots referred to are mem
bers of the rail family, not the
scoters or sea ducks, which are
sometimes called coots) mourn
ing and white-winged doves, and
band-tailed pigeons.
QUESTION 3: What is bait
ing, and what is a baited area?
ANSWER: Batting, which is
illegal, is the placing or scatter
/ ing of shelled, shucked or I'M
shucked corn, wheat or other
grain, salt, or other feed so as
to lure or attract migratory
game birds to, on, or over an
area where hunters attempt to
take them. A baited area is an
area where corn, wheat, or 9TH
er grain, salt, or other feed has
been directly or indirectly plac-
ed or scattered as an attraction
to migratory game birds.
QUESTION A: When is one
guilty of a batting violation?
ANSWER: When you take, or
attempt to take, migratory game
birds attracted to your cunning
position by the presence of corn,
grain, or other feed scattered or
placed so as to attract those
birds. No matter who did the
batting, you are guilty. The in
dividual hunter must make GER

time protect the interests OF
the hunters who observe the
rules of the game.
QUESTION 7: How many
days before the season opens
must we stop feeding ducks in
our marsh if we are to legally
shoot them?
ANSWER: This question can
not be answered categorically
by a specific number of days.
The proper course is to stop
feeding long enough before the
season opens SO that the feed
which has been put out is com
pletely cleaned up and no long
er serves as a lure or attrac-
ton to the birds. You know
when the birds no longer fly
directly to the feeding spot look
ing for their hand-out.
QUESTION s: Is it lawful for
me to release ducks and geese
in my marsh and then hunt
there?
ANSWER: 1t is permissible
for you to release lawfully ac-
