following statement.
Take Off Nixon Buttons"
II earnestly and sincerely feel
that it is time for all of us to take
off our Nixon buttons I wish to
make it crystal clear that I am
not hog-tied to any party My first
concern is for the 35O-yearlong
struggle of our people.
Now I have made up my mind
to vote for Senator Kennedy, not
because of his party affiliation,
the color Of his skin or the texture
of his hair or merely because Of
the way he looks, but because I
am convinced he is concerned about
our struggle.
America Was On Trial
Senator Kennedy did something
great and wonderful when he per-
sonally called Mrs Corretta King
and helped free DIR. Martin Luther
King. This was the kind Of act I
was waiting for. 1t was not just
DR.. King on trial-it was America
on Trial.
Mr.. Nixon could have helped
but he took no step in this direc-
ton. 1t Is my understanding that
he refused even to comment on the
case. I learned a long time ago
that one kindness deserves another.
Since Mr.. Nixon has been silent
through all this, I am going to
return his silence when I go into
the voting booth.
Senator Kennedy showed his
great concern for Humanity when
he acted first without counting

THE NIXON HUMILITY" -
When Nixon started his campaign
ing after the Chicago convention
it was pitched to several basic
ideas: a. that The White House
is mot for sale" (2) that even II
he were Vice President he was not
too proud to make a flying trip to
New York to humble himself be-
fore Nelson Rockefeller 81 That
he came from poor, but honest
parents.
These Were all legitimate cam
paign techniques. Maybe a little
corny, but not overly so.
Then Nixon started to do some
thing else that gave him away. He
began telling people that maybe he
was controversial but everybody
likes Pat" There was even a
Pat for First Lady" campaign
Then came the play given to Henry
Cabot Lodge (who, incidently, is
probably the most over-estimated
man in the campaign.)
Instead of Nixon making the
first telecast over a national hook
up, Lodge was chosen to open
things up. 1t was almost as II
Nixon were saying that he real
lied he was not well-considered
but certainly everyone would like

TO Republican Eisenhower because
OF his personal magnetism, his de-
parture and their underlying pre-
occupation with pocketbook prob
lens are now sending them back to
the Democratic fold.
These are the conclusions drawn
from hundreds of interviews in
major Northern Negro population
centers from coast to coast It now
seems certain that Vice President
Richard Nixon will be unable to
hold the gains scored by President
Eisenhower in 1856 among Ne
groes, overwhelmingly Democratic
since New Deal days. Instead, the
Democratic candidate figures to
snare well over the estimated 6O%
of the Negro vote that Adlai Stew
enson was able to pick up four
years ago.
impact on hey states
This return of Negroes to the
Democratic Party is particularly
significant because the heaviest
concentration of Negroes is in those
states with the biggest harvests of
electoral votes-New York, Calf
ornia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio
and Michigan. Since the outcome
in these key states-most of them
now considered toss-ups-may de-
eide the election, the capture Of a
heavy percentage Of the expected
record 8 million Negro voters could
send Mr.. Kennedy to the White
House.
All this is a somewhate unex-
pected boon for the Democrats.
Even before Sen. Kennedy was
nominated last summer, some of
hts a4des worried about a iuISe-
warm Negro reaction toward him
on the ground that his civil rights
stand might seem too weak -
while Mr.. Nixon's position was
more decisive than Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's. There worries were not stilled
when Sen. Kennedy picked South
erner Sen. Lyndon johnson Of
Texas, as his Vice Presidential run
ming mate.
But interviews indicate the DEM
ocrats' worries may have been un-
founded.
Chicago railroad worker Lemon
Hughes, who voted for Mr.. Eisen-
hover four years ago, believes the

the registration figures in New
York and California, all seem to
betray the Vice Presidents feeling
that he is going down to defeat.
In view of what happened in
1913 I realize that it is foolhardy
for anyone definitely to forecast
the outcome of an election even
one or two weeks before the bal
loting actually takes place. Elk
ternal events can still shape the
outcome; certainly the pastoral let
ter of the Puerto Rican bishops
forbidding Catholics to vote for
Munoz Marin had a profoundly dis
turbing effect on many Protest
ants.
There is still the chance of a
last-minute international crisis
which might persuade some voters
that Kennedy is too young and
maybe even reckless for the job
he seeks. But If Nixon gets any of
these breaks, they will not be of
his creation. So he can hardly count
on them as he surveys the future.
What fascinates me about Nixon
Is how all of us really failed to
understand the man. The political
viciousness about which 50 many
Democrats complained over the
years, I am now inclined to think,
really concealed the fact that I'M
derneath 1t all Nixon was insecure,
a man not at all sure of himself.
When he screamed Red" and
Communist" at his opponents it
may have been only an effort to
divert attention from this feeling
of inadequacy.
A good portion Of Nixon's career
has been devoted to winning "ac-
ceptance" in the right" places. To
prove his devotion to the party he
allowed himself to accept the most
mental assignments. While Eisen-
hover took the lofty attitude,
Nixon agreed to take the low
road, in party campaigns
Now this willingness to be the
good guy for the party bosses
and the bad guy" so far as the
general public is concerned has
returned to haunt him. He may
have been trying to save the
party but he seems to have ended
up sacrificing himself.

Recommendations

would recommend him to this
newspaper but his outstanding re-
cord on the civil rights issue, and
that of his administration, are
enough to warrant our endorsement
of Freeman over Andersen-who
is certainly the highest type CUB
ernatorial candidate the Republ-
cans have had in years, especially
in regard to his position on human
rights.
Andersen also travels with the
handicap of a Republican Heuten-
ant governor candidate, Arthur
Ogle, who has not denied he is OPP
posed to open occupancy" and
Republican Congress incumbents
who have not distinguished them
selves as devoted advocates or
adherents to the civil rights cause.
FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Vote for Walter f. MOndaIe, who
has proved his worth as a far
sighted administrator of the states
legal department. Mr.. Mondale has
