We Endorse Devine
We have decided to support the candi-

ty Prosecutor, because Devine has come for-
ward manfully to meet a condition laid down
in one of our editorials.

ninq rampant. But it must also be conceded
that Senator Thomas has come a long way
since then. On the basis of his voting record,
it can be said that he has made a clean break
with the past. In our view, that is as much
as one can ask of any man.
The importance of his seniority as a mem-
ber of the Senate is something that must not
be minimized. It would be a great mistake
to do so, because seniority counts heavily
when the chairmanships of important com-
mittees are being distributed. Senator
Thomas' rival, Mike Monroney, if elected,
would have to serve his "freshman" period
before he could expect to be named^to any
important committees. Moreover, the opinion
of a senior Senator carries considerabl weight
with all government agencies and with his
fellow Senators.
We have always taken the position that
the Negro should protect and reward all
friendly legislators. By friendly we mean
legislators who risk their political careers by
voting "right” on legislation favorable to the
Negro.
Senator Thomas has risked his political
career for the Negro many times. The least
can do is to reward him.
We are for Senator Thomas without res-
ervation and we urge every Democratic voter
to help nominate him in next Tuesday's Pri-
mary Race.

We have been checking Io find out

that the Bev. B. Moore is a Republican. He was
a main engineer in all of these political shenani-
gans. 11 looks funny Io see a Beptiblican work

After Attorney I ranklm was through speak-
ing. Hie Bev. I-.. A. Reith, pastor ol ’Bose Hill
Baptist i hiirch, look lhe floor. He said minis-
ters had a right to engage in polities and that
he was tired of having ‘’racketeers ami other
questionable characters dictuling political policy.”
He suggested that the Inter Denominational Minis-
ters Alliance hold closed meeting in the future,
with only ministers present, Io insure that trans-
actions in these meetings will not lie made public.
W c checked up on Rev. Keith and found that
he was not even a registered voter. Here is a
man who do<s not <\en think enough of good
citizenship Io qualify as a voter, amt still lie lias
more mouth than anybody else when it comes Io
sa ing what Hie preachers should do politically.
As tor his suggestion that Ila Alliance should
hold closed nice tings. Ill,it is a prerogative Hie
ministers can lake. However it docs seem Io lie

conducted which resulted in niaiix reforms in the

cans have standing organizations which are en-
gaged in political aclivitv on a ytar-round basis.

A delegation of preachers called on Hie pub-

in winch many surprising admissions were made.

As a Race, We ask lor no special privileges,
but we have a right Io expect Hie same considera-
tion accorded Io other citizens. W’e have a
right to expect a lair attitude on legislation which
will give all citizens a chance Io contribute Io tin
progress of Oklahoma.
Ihis Stale has an overwhelming number ol
fair-minded while people who would do better
by the Negro if encouraged by men in high posi-
tion. such as the Governor, ( an wc expect such
encouragement from a man who now boasts
Ilial lie is "a ehip oil the old block,” and who
has openly, and repeatedly, boasted that lie will
follow his father's philosophy if elected. Don't for-
get that lhe Old Man. Alfalfa Bill, is still alive,
wailing to remind his son of that philosophy.
Don’t be folded by Johnston Murrays "Plain
Folks” talk. That is oiilv the come on. He is the
darling of wealthy backers who will spend money
freely to elect a Governor who will take orders.
These moneyed interests are anxious Io corner
more wealth, hence Hiex are against decent wages,
whether for black or white workers. They arc
against low-cosi housing supported J>v federal
funds, because they want Io saddle high rents
on those whose incomes are low, so that they
can keep noses Io Hn grindstone.
They are against more ami belter schools,
because educalion will eventually wash Race pre
jtidice away . It is to Hie advantage of lhe moneyed
interests to keep Hu Negro ami Hie poor while
man clutching al cacti others throats. I la v do
this by keeping lhe poor while man “hopped- up
on a false sense oi racial superiority.
Not a single Negro vole should go Io John-
ston Murray. Don't give him a chance Io serve
wealthy exploiters. Don't gixe him a chance to
show how much nice hatred he assimilated from
Hie Old Man
If the Negro vole is used to defeat Johnston Mur-
ray, it would be one of the greatest lessons that

the germ that has through the ages

Above all. wc must place more

Mr. Devine's offer left us cold. In an edi-
torial on May 4, we gave our view that a job
as investigator did not amount to "a row of /Cab«
beans" and did not warrant "delivery of the i./
Negro vote." In the same editorial, we of-
fered to support any candidate on an open
commitment that, if elected, he would ap-
point a Negro as Assistant Prosecutor.
Monday night, in a talk with the publisher,
Devine made two promises: To establish a
branch office to serve the needs of the North
Tulsa area, and to appoint to this branch
office a Negro assistant prosecutor and an
investigator.
On the basis of these promises, we arc
happy to make good our own promise of
May I. We endurse James P. Devine for the
office of County Prosecutor, and we urge all
Democrats to vote for him.
