bit of extraneous matter which must

meat of the campaign. We still believe that
metr 'and not parties should be considered
when the voter goes to cast his ballot ami
we must first consider which group will do

you may have been enough some years a o
but in this enlightened age definite state
ments as to how, when and where must be
answered and the Negro Voters needs to
be given definite assurances such as those
given by the G. I. and Peoples Party who
-eems to know that a concerted intelligent
"effort must be put forward to acquaint the
Negro Voters with the real issue and what
IO expect whenever they go into office.
Vhile no definite statements as what the
Negro should expect comes from the C. P.
L. we feel that failure to do so means that
nothing definite has been worked out for
fchem and that their welfare is to be in-
Bded in the welfare of the whole of course
3‘'. y agree that it should be that way and no
1^! privileges should be expected by any
yet we are mindful of the fact

We believe that for the greatest good for

that we vote a straight G. I. and Peoples

Public Opinion
Ry D. J. W.
VOTE FOR G. I. PEOPLE’S PARTY
THE HOPE OF SAVANNAH
Last July ti e Negro people of this county en
thusia* tically endorse q the CPL ticket. We did
it because we were fed up cn the promise that
they were going to make a real change for the
people of this county.. They promised us that
they would stick by the State primary laws that
gave us the i-ght to vote, and that they would
support Carmichael against Talmadge. These
promises were made to us by Judge Lewis. Albert
. Cobb, Mike Tamer and Herbert Skinner. We
kept our end of the bargain.
Today we are supporting the G. I. People’s Par
ty, and not because of fancied beliefs or change
of opinion. We are against the CPL because they
broke every premise they ma. e to us.
We have def’nlte and positive proof (1) that
they did not vote for Carmichael, and (2) that
they do not intend to protect our right to vote.
The proof lies in the fact (a) That all of the men
who made us these promises not only supported
Talmadge but were rewarded by being made dele
gates to ’the Talmadge convention, (b) They do
rot intent to protect our rights to vote because
they not only met secretly in Savannah with 1 al
madgi and promised to support his program, but
have since taken into 'their leadership Leo S. Grif
fin ti e head of the Talmadge clan.
When our ministers met a few days ago with
those leaders in one of our biggest cnu.ches, an 1
were asked what promises they would give us
now, one of their leaders told us. “We are net
py^muing yen a d thing:
We cannot urdeistrnl how men who 1>: u- . -t
time like ceitam bu:;ne-:s and professional men
can have die nerve in the face of these facts to
show their facts and a- k us to again suppot. the
C P. L. We hate to think that these men have

sold us down the river, but these men are rot
stup d. We hate to think that they are wicked,
but their actions make u- believe the forse.
We refuse to support tie C. P. L. when we
know that not on 1 y is John G. Kennedy, their may
crsßy card date bitter fwaids our people, but
e’^ht out of their 12 aldeiman’c candidates are
Talmadge supporters and del'gates, and Judge
Emanuel Patriotic Lewis also is one of those 100 o
wl ite sheeters.
Adthough we have mbeen charging them with
this fraud, they have net sought to deny it openly.
They content .hemselves with attacking our lead
ers in this fight for decency, and to cry machine,
machine. Our answer to that h, that if we have
te sunnort a mach'ne. we v r oull c unport any ma
chine rathe’- than one led by Kluxers like Cobb,
Sk nner, Tanner and Lewis.
For generations, the Neg”o has been his own
w »-st enemy. The C p L is H e ing 'the racketeers

f’ght rg the rambr” o, element, a^ l y.t today they
a'e ge ting funds from that bvn -h. and the leader
their committee raising these funds, is none
other than Dick Smith, the Clerk of Court under
Judge Jordan, and one of the men in the Police
Court who used to holler Niggar! Niggar! Niggar!
Some lea ers may vote CPL if they wish, but
we don' propose to follow me unholy three. It’s
