COP. SuPpOrF Of
Fair Housing Is
SFeufer Thon DFl'S

According to the Ramsey County
Republican committee more men,
bers Of that party favor fair
housing than do members Of the
DEL party In the state.
A check with the Minnesota
Poll, the Ramsey COP office said,
showed that only 64% Of DEL
members questioned favored Fair
Housing" while 71% Of Republi-
cans queried were for a state
statute against housing discrim-
nation against racial and rehg-
ious minorities.
This was significant because the
Negro vote in Minnesota since
1882 has gone generally for DEL
candidates, with the exception Of
the Luther Youngdahl campaigns
when Negroes largely supported
Youngdahl. but voted also for most
other DEL candidates.
The same situation was COM
mented upon when Judge l. How

was defeated in heavily populated
DEL wards populated by low and
moderate income families In the
