man Ben Bavis and manv oi
his most ardent supporters
were fighting this week to get
the official backing of the A-
merican Labor party and, pei-

political organizations.
Davis, only son of Georgia’s
onetime prominent Republican
leader, Ben Davis, Sr, is admit¬

of his chief backers believe
that the reason why backing
the from other political par¬
ties has not been forthcoming.
As the only Negro in city
council, he is a touchy political
spot., but his record is regarded
as one of the best.
Tammany Hall’s Negro lead¬

doubt that tlye Democrats will

Speaks Out
CHICAGO, June 18— (Atlas

must take seven chances, one
of Which is on the Negro, de¬
clared John Temple Grave,
noted writer for the Birming-
14am News and the Age-Her
aid. Tor decency’s sake, for
economy’s and society’s, the
ten million Njegiroesf who live
there must be not only permit¬
ted but encouraged to contin¬
ue advancements which have
carried them far since the
first World War.” In this ar¬
ticle Mr. Graves goes out on a
limb in expressing his views on
the southern situation.
This penetrating analysis of
the South appears in the July
issue of New Vistas magazine,
a publication which stresses a
positive approach to interracial
relationships.
Appearing in the same issue
is a timely and enlightening
article about the ‘ White Pri¬
mary ad the Supreme Court,”
by one of Chicago’s outstanding
young Negro lawyers, Attorney
Sidney A. Jones, Jr. This ar¬
ticle gives an account of the
history and significance of thp
Texas white primary. The de¬
cision given by the supreme
court in the case of Smith vs.
