Senate, and a leader), of a group of rebelicious Senator from the Lynching South. Now what is the whole thing about Burkes record from the NAACP in N. Y. City these were registered to secure an additional pledge from Senator Ed. R. Burke. The following is a statement made, to the NAACP, May 18, 1937 from Sen. Ed. R. Burke, quote: “I have always been heartily in favor of legislation of this kind. When the matters was before the Senate last year. I assure Sen. Van Nuys, Sen. Costigan that I would help them in every way possible. I believe if you will check the votes that were made while the matter was under discussion you will find that I lived up fully to that agreement. Nothing has happened since then to change my views in any respect. It would therefore by my present attention to support the bill actively. It would requqire some very compelling arguments on the other side to cause me to change my views. Mr. Negro Voter, above is the exact words wrote and signed by Sen. Edward R. Burke. That letter today is in the NAACP office in N. Y. City. Now can you Mr. Negro Voter imagine a man making a pledge in his home town and a similar pledge to the NAACP office and then when his vote was needed to cinch the bill we were denied the priviledge of his vote, yet you will think all through the procedure. (Yet what did he do) The NAACP executive secre tary, Mr. Walter White and Senator Wagnor of N. Y. the Senator Van Nuys, had been successful in getting enought Senators to pledge to vote for the Anti-Lynch Bill. And the President had agreed to sign the bill if the Senate passed it, and what hap pened. The Southern Senators proceeded to bring them out a tilibuster against the bill. And they filibustered six weeks. I believed, which was the same trick they pulled to the Senate after it passed the house for the last 25 years. This was expected by everyone who knew about the record of this bill. The interested parties in this bill to secure signa tures of Senators to a petition to stop the filibus ers by voting to in vote the Cloture rule. Now here is the part your Honorable Sen. Edward R. Burke played to defeat this bill after making his definite pledge to support it. When the vote was taken on Cloture rule the rule to stop the filibuster, 42 Sen ators voted for the Cloture rule, 46 voted against the Cloture rule, that was 2 more votes against the rule that there was for the Cloture rules. That was a shock to every Negro that voted Sen. Burke in the State of Nebraska. Now Mr. Negro Voter how zan you afford to put your trust in Sen. Edward R. Burke and let me tell you Mr. Negro Voter, the place to stop Sen. Edward R. Burke is at the poll? m Tuesday, April 9th, at the Primary Election. It s commonly said, that if the Democratic nominate 3en. Burke at the polls in Primary Election, Apri )th, he will be elected on November 4th. So if yoi are a Democrat, it is you duty to register votef against Sen. Edward R. Burke, Tuesday.
