GETTING POTENTIAL NEGRO VOTE REGISTERED IS JOB OF BOTH NAACP AND URBAN LEAGUE ELECTION VITAL (Continued from page 1) important job of the decade. As one man put ti, “there is no use taking the case to the Supreme Court and getting the right to vote if the NAACP is not going to follow thru and prove that the Negro wants this right.” It was thought bv many Ne gro leaders that Walter White, exe cutive secretary of the NAACP, was set to do just this follow-through campaign and prove that the Negro wants to vote—when he made his entry into the campaign by denounc ing the platforms of both the Repub lican and Democratic Parties as in adequate in the attention paid the Negro questoin. We know that the platforms of both parties left many -— ■ ~ -r things unsaid and were worded in some instances in hazy language. But we must not go fishing because the platforms didn’t say all they should have. 1 he next time they might not say anything. WHAT HAPPENED IN i<,,0 Frankly speaking, it is an opinion that thr politician who counts only the votes that are cast on election day and not the potential vote, believes the Negro will vote as usual in a very light turnout. This happened in 1940 when the Third Term was a pressing issue. Negroes stayed away from the polls in thousands. In 1942 especially in such heavily concentrat ed Negro districts as Chicago’s So. 1 Side, and New York's Harlem. This was what happened as every agency and effort was bent toward obtaining justice on such issues as Jim Crow and intolerance in our armed forces as well as in essential war industries, and in the political life of the nation itself. As one observor had it, “Ne groes went about their business on e lection day drinking and dancing as usual while the vh;t“ folks were busy building that fence h'gher around all of us.” Normally ten percent of those who register to vote fail to do so in anv election. This fact makes the duty of *he NAACP and the Urban Lea gue all the more plain and urgent. The matter is a responsibility of civ ic leadership as well as political. Meanwhile Walter White must cor rect an impression he gave that “Ne GREEN LANTERN f'WT? “THE HOME OF GOOD FOODS AND HOME OF GOOD PEOPLE.” Fresh Food, Strictly Fresh —2116 North 24th— •TA-Q975 Mr. E.

IOUIS 3, MO. groes might go fishing in November if the platforms do not say what they should!” Too many Negroes are apt to take such a statement from such a source as gospel and actually go or continue—fishing or in the pur suit of pleasure. “Not Alms, but Opportunity” is the appropriate slogan of Opportun ity Magazine, official organ of the Urban League. The power of the ballot will do a lot toward making these opportunities real. This na tional organization is not in politics, However, this is not purely a polit ical matter in that sense, because the destiny of the Negro is involved and on that acocunt, the purely economic and social problems with which the Urban League is primarily concern ed could be laid aside for a while until after November to get a more urgent and vital effort of im pressing on every potentail Negro voter that he cannot vote unless he registers and if he does not register he is throwing away opportunity t* do himself and his kind a service.
