college in the past, were made
with the objective Of cutting down
the influence Of the Negro vote
in large urban centers in the
North.
Congressman GOssett Of Texas
joined some years ago with the
then Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Mass, in sponsoring a resolution
which Rep. Gossett frankly des-
cribed as an effort to cut down the
Negro vote in the North" Mr.. Will
kins said. ....
The resolution lost In Congress
as did q later one by the then Sem
ator (now Governor) Price Daniel
of Texas.
$50 you see, the past efforts aim
ed at the electoral college have
really been aimed at the Negro
voter" he said.
Addressing himself to current
critics Of the system, Mr.. wilkins
said, "let them have fair debate
on all proposed changes" He spoke
to more than 1000 civil rights en-
thusiasts attending a mass rally
sponsored here by the South Car
DINA Conference Of NAACP BRAN
cheS.
"Any change ought to give all
voters, regardless Of color, free
access to the ballot box. II that
were DONE" he asserted, perhaps
the nation would find out how the
people feel, not how a small clique
feels"
Secretary wilkins pointed out
that Mississippi has a population
Of more than 100000 persons.
Over half are Of voting age.
yet a total Of only 1O9, 900 votes
were cast Nov. 8, for a slate of
unplcdged electors" he said. ''The
nation is being told that the people
Of Mississippi have spoken.
This is the kind of nonsense
that will have to be discarded in
any new PLAN" he said.
Turning to the New Orleans cris-
is, Mr.. wilkins said segregation
lists there have, supplied a better
argument for a federal civil rights
law than our side could have ever
thought up.
Gov. Jimmie Davis and his
state legislators, assisted by
screaming mobs, have done a lob
bying job for civil rights unmat-
ched since an Arkansas state
trooper barred a teen-age Negro
girl from high school with loaded
rifle" he concluded.
