NEGRO NOMINATED BY COP FOR
MASS. ATTORNEY WITH SUPPORT
OF NEGRO DEMOCRATS OF THE STATE
By SAMUEL p. PERRY, JR.

Boston CAMP - Edward w.
Brooke, attorney who made Amer
ican political history by garner
ing over one million votes In 1860
when he unsuccessfully sought the
office Of Massachusetts, secretary
Of state on the Republican ticket,
secured a plurality Of $4,000 votes
as the successful COP nominee for
the office Of attorney general,
after a hard campaign, in the
primaries last week.
Attorney Brooke was hampered
considerably by the decision Of the
State Republican Finance Com
mittee not to support either At
torney Elliott Richardson or
Brooke in the primaries. He had to
depend heavily upon funds from
volunteers and young rebels
against the arbitrariness Of the
COP brass, although Attorney
Brooke had the COP conventions
official nod.
An examination Of the contribu-
tors lists Of both Richardson and
Brooke reveals that Richardson's
supporters were wealthy members
Of the old-line financial families Of
Boston's State street district.
However, Brooke's personality
and his record as chairman Of the
influential Boston Finance Com
mission swayed voters in the up
state Massachusetts, areas where
Richardson's supporters thought
their man would be stronger.
AS was predicted, Brooke took
Boston by a plurality Of over 5000
votes. He swamped Richardson In
every ward Of the Hub with the
exception Of three.
In what has been termed a re-
cord turnout Of the Republican
vote on a statewide basis for a
primary, Brooke received a total
Of 237,910 votes to Richardson
1e5,s32. giving Brooke a plurality
of 42,O7S.
However, Brooke, a rare politi-
cal realist, is fully aware that he
must muster dissident Democratic
support, as well as that of the in
dependent voters, II he Is to win
the election In November. He faces
a formidable political foe for the
office Of attorney-general in the
person Of former 1t. Governor
Francis e. Kelly, who gained the
Democratic nomination as a rebel
against the Democratic conven-
ton.
In a seldom seen display Of uni
ty, Negro Democrats urged their
supporters to back Brooke in the
primary. It remains to be seen
whether their active support will
be as strong when the Kennedy
Lodge forces come to grips in No
vember.
In contests for the COP and
Democratic nomination for the
Mass. House of Representatives,

they were deliberately thinking

they were thinking unpleasant

the senses of smell and taste were
more acute when they were think

So now we see how important 1t
Is for us to think pleasant
thoughts. The thought has also
proved that your disposition shows
your attitude and your mind
speaks your thoughts. When you
meet a friend and think pleasant
thoughts about him or her, it will
show in your greeting. Your friend
will notice it at once and respond
to it.
People will be to you as you
think. If you think they are mean

you will be looking at them as
you are. Don't misunderstood

but to you they will only appear
not good.
The next time you think Of a
friend think kind thoughts and see
how pleasantly you will enjoy
them and when you meet the
meeting will be a very happy one.
See things and people as they
are and not as you are because
you are holding a grudge against
someone that doesn't even know
it. Try to forget the little irrita-

mind to think happy thoughts, and
see how much better you win feel

Take o few moments and look
at the thoughts you are think
ing. Can't you brighten them up
q little bit?
When your dear friend moved
into her lovely new home, you
said, TT is beautiful but I would
rather it be them pay the taxes,
