Letters To The Editor

in the community life enough to
merit support for alderman, in my
humble opinion.
We 9Th Ward members do not
know of anything Rev. King has
done for the ward. All he can do
now is tear down what some of us
in the Negro community have been
doing for years-to build up the
Negro as part of the political or
ganizational life of the community,
to put in a place when its services
will be SO worthwhile that party
members of all races will readily
endorse a candidate who happens
to be a Negro.
I do hope someone can reach
Rev. King and explain to him that
he cannot win a campaign in the
9Th Ward, solely as a Negro can
didate." No candidate can win an
election in my opinion without the
endorsement of all organizations
behind him. - Sincerely, Plummer
Willis 1856 Third Av. s., precinct
caucas chairman, 9th Ward DFL
Club, Minneapolis, MINI.

shows seems to pain lot Of white people, including
some editorial writer's
1t seems to that if the Negroes who suffer
discrimination in almost every facet of American
life and who believe that such things as minstrel
shows help keep alive image that they would
like to forget, our honest and unprejudiced white
friends should accept our viewpoint.
Those who claim the Negro's rejection Of min
strel shows, Aunt Jemima and Stephen Fosters
"darldes singing" songs is a sign of ultra
sensitiWty fail to take into consideration the daily
battle with prejudice and discrimination the
average Negro must wage whether he wants to our
not. How to keep from being sensitive to wrongs
practiced against you every day is something that
not the wisest and most erudite Caucasans
have learned
Then there those poor souls who point out
that nationality jokes about the Scotch the Irish and
other assimilated groups in US population are
accepted by these groups. These same people fail
to recognize that these groups not Disseminated
against because of their in any facet of Amer
ican life. Any groups situated afford to join
others in laughs about alleged culture pattern
applicable to the particular group. The Scottish
Americans can laugh heartily at jokes about their
alleged penurousness because as a group they have
not been denied the opportunity Of making some of
the money, which they are kidded about boarding
The Irish in the same boat. They fought like
the Jews to keep the Irish comics who trod the
buresque circuits from being offered typical ex-
amples of the group. The old time Jewish and Irish
comics on the American stage removed from
the American stage by Irish and Jewish influences
who knew the harm that stereotypes do to emerging
groups, who do not yet enjoy positions in the main
stream of American life. In time even the black
faced, burnt cork comedians and singers of the Bert
Williams Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor era passed
from the scene.
Negro comedians of America now work in
straight face without burnt cork and enjoy the
paudits of both white and black theatregoers These
comedians can tell joke about Negroes and get
away with it because the Negro audience knows
that such joke is not based attempt to keep
the Negro in subjection. The jokes told by a
white comedian to a Negro audience would find i'm
mediate disfavor-not because the Negro is narrow,
but because he still does not enjoy full equality in
this nation, and he associates jokes told by member
of the group which has been his oppressor with
racial bias.
When the time comes that a mans color is no
bar to opportunity achievement, the house and
school of his choice then the Negro may decide that
minstrel shows not indication of the white
mans rejection and antpathy towards him.
Now, Negroes don't like minstrel shows. No
matter what editorial writer's letters to the editors
those of Caucasian ancestry write, and say-Ne-
groes going to continue to try to discourage the
acceptance of minstrel shows in the United States
no matter who thinks their attitude reflects over
sensitivity.

Election Procedures
Proved Correct

We have had occasion during the election re-
count to comment upon the highly unsatisfactory
conditions under which Minnesota elections are con-
ing facilities, the occasional sharp practices in
necton with absent voter ballots, and lot of other
things
1t Is interesting therefore, to find that despite
all Of the handcaps and limitations under which
election judges labor the original result which Min
nesotas voting process turned in is the same as
that arrived at by laborious recount under the
very best auspices, carried on by technical experts
subject to the challenges of other technical experts
At the time that the Republicans obtained an
order from the Supreme Court to the Canvassng
lected by Republican sharpshooters and reverse the
original decision high authority pointed out the
danger of this selective reopening of precincts
well its ilegalty He pointed out that there are
bound to be errors in the count, but that these
errors will tend to cancel each other out, except
where selective recounting is permitted.
This is exactly what has happened. There were
errors The result, close it was, is the same as
the original result. The result obtained by allowing
recountng, has been reversed by a recount as care
full and technically correct it possible to get
Although there has been some grumbling about
the interference of the Supreme Court in the elec
ton machinery, there has been nothing but admira-
ton for the excellent work done by the panel Of
judges in charge Of the recount Judges Sylvestre,
Keyes, and Kaner, have earned the gratitude Of all
for a difficult job well done.
