No! He can’t vote! Oh sure, he can bear arms in
defense of “democracy.” He can take a bullet through
the brain. He can lose an arm, or a leg, in the
explosion of a mortar shell...hut he can't vote!
Doesn’t make sense, does it? But it's true! And,
added to him are more than 10,000,000 of his buddies
and their families, Negro and white, who live in poll
tax states. They can’t vote either! And that's just
one more reason why the poll tax MUST GO! The
job is ours! The time is now! Abolition of the poll
tax demands both your active and financial support.
This appeal for funds is urgent. Won’t you send your
contribution today?
IF THE POLL TAX IS TO BE YOU MUST HELP!

Write to your senator demanding that he vote for

was traveling from Jackson, Miss.,'

when the incident occurred.
“After reaching Shreveport :
from Jackson, I was transferred
to the Texas & Pacific on a trans¬

my train,” Rev. Turner said ‘The '
train was scheduled to leave at j
11:55 P. M. and when I entered
my car there \^as only one section
of seats, and I sat down in one
of the double seats. Shortly the
conductor came through, and or¬
dered me to move as those seats
were for his use.
“I refused to move, stating that
I had been traveling a long ways,
and was tired. This seat is in a
colored coach anyway, and I don’t
see any reasons why I should not
remain.
Rev. Turner added that it was
then the conductor, seated that he
would have him ejected from the
train. *
“That’s your privilege, but I’ll
have you reported upon reaching
Dallas,” the minister told the con-
duetor.
“You won’t arrive in Dallas on
this train,” retorted the conduct-
~>r, “because I am going to have
you arrested.”
There were a number of soldiers
on the fcoach, nearly all of whom
were asleep at the time, Rev.
Turner reported. The conductor
woke some of the soldiers, and told
them to make room for him
