first of all physically, and later also emo
Ionauy from too severe demands too

DFL Chairlady: There was no
fanfare recently when the Henne-
pin county DFL reelected Steve
Nehote chairman and Helen White
side chairwoman.
Perhaps the Hennepin DFL
didn't realize 1t but both the
election of Mrs. Whiteside two
years ago and her reelection
this year set some sort of a
record
She is the only woman of Negro
descent in these whole United
States to hold such a position
where the number of Negro voters
is relatively so small. There may
be a few such instances where the
tan brethren outnumber the pale
face voters where such a post
goes to a Negro woman, but Hen
nepin county has now twice very
commercially ignored the accident
of color and elected as its top
woman Democratic-Farmer Labor
woman, for her ability and COM
petence, a Negro.
People looking for the reasons
for the affinity for the DFL which
the majority of Minnesota Ne
groes have, need look no further
than examples like the Helen
Whiteside case.
