lagrant" to print. Others were
more subdued but still potent
Robert Patterson, 962 w. Cent
raj Av., st. Paul.-"Certainly
think the combination of this Dem
ocratic 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 4218
Portland AV. S., MinneapOlis.-'T
don't like it for 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, 71S Igle-
hart, St Paul think with a
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, 1922 3rd Av. S.,
MinneaPOlis.-''Im not so fond
of Johnson but l like Kennedy,
especially on civil rights. 1 think
the democrats have a good chance
to win with this ticket"
Mrs. George Berry ST., 99I Full
Ter Av., st. Paul. really think
the ticket is pretty good but I
believe it would have been better
without Johnson"
Edward McMOOre, 4l6 f. 25th
ST., Minneapolis. - Il definitely
like them, especially their strong
civil rights platform"
John Banks, Sr., 79l Fuller Av,
st. Paul don't care too much
about it because + don't believe
they're really favorable to the race
problem"
Mrs. Robert Williams, 1924
Queen Av. n, Minneapolis.-'I am
not enthusiastic about the ticket
but l am very much impressed
with the civil rights platform.
However, if Rockefeller pulls an
upset in Chicago, he'll be a very
attractive candidate for many
minority group members"
Mrs. Wilbur Cartwright, 706
IgIehart, st. Paul. like Ken
nedy but johnson is a question
that will have to be answered
later"
Leonard Madden, 1882 5th Av.
S, MinneapOlis.-"I think its a
rotten setup! The world has been
misinformed."
James Reeves, Jr., 1925 Scudder,
st. PauL-"It isn't the ticket I
would have chosen-I would rather
a Stevenson-Kenne ticket or the
latter being paired with a liberal"
Henry JOsey, 1858 4th Av. s.,
Minneapolis Someone has over
looked the past history of politics.
Maybe this is an awakening that
the world needs.
Mrs. Earlyn Bell, 4O1 Hoyt Avy
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-
ceive enough votes to win the cleo
ton.
Luther T. Prince, Jr., A41 5th
Av. s., MinneapOlis.-"I'm very
dissatisfied with the Kennedy-John-
son ticket. Though I traditionally
vote democrat if Rockefeller is
nominated, I'll vote republican"
Mrs. Clarence Roper, 982 Fuller
Av., st. Paul.-"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
contains the things we've been
asking for but, there will be the
problem of seeing that they are
carried thru"
George Wills, 1904 Iglehart 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
