Dy. Rayford Logan Advises
Strong Democracy i in South

president of Samuel Houston
college in Texas.

Stressing the need for ~
action, Dr, Logan said the future of Negro suffrage in the
south will perhaps be influenced by ~what you do in Atlanta,~
Differing sharply with those
wh~ claim that the period in
the south immediately following
te close of the Civil war was
marked by corruption and incompetency, the speaker pointed cut it was only then that the
free public school system was
inaugurated in our section, The
chief mistake of this area, Dr.
Logan pointed out, was the neglect of the economic condition
~of the recently freed slaves.
This was cited as the first chance
the Negro had for participation

in his government,~

The second chance for politi.
cal action came around 1900,
the speaker said, when the Populist party tried to combine the
Negroés and the masses of white
people. This also failed,

~But now,~ Dr. Logan rang
out, ~in 1946 we will succeed
where we previously failed. No
one can say the Negro is not
ready for the ballot,~

The speaker cited the following three reasons for the Negto~s success in participating in
his government now: improved
edication,: reduction of fear of
domination and greater enlightment on the part of the white
masses aS a result of labor organization,

Dr, Logan also said the war
had accelerated better race re
~lations. ~We have got to sticceed

now. We must think in terms of
the interest of all the people,

The speaker charged the Republican party ~has not supported legislation for the welfare of the people~ and advised
the Negro ~to make his: political
power felt in the Democratic
party.~ The Republican party
has ~long since abandoned the
Negro,~ the speaker stated, adding that he believed the Negro
will further liberalize the Democratic party.

During the question and answe; period, Dr. Logan spoke
out against urging Negroes to
further migrate e~nmass fronmr the
south. It was pointed out that
some of the worst Negro slums
are in the large northern cities,

~Already,~ Dr, Bethune warned, ~Negroes are voting in the
democratic primaries of the
south, It is coming in Mississippi, too. Let us vote and vote
intelligently for men. who believe in juStice and fairplay. We
must act and not talk so much.~

The Crowd that filled the
school auditorium and overflowed into the streets interrupted
the speaker time and again with
round after round of applause,
