STATE OF MAINE
GOES REPUBLICAN
(by Arthur B. McCaw)
NEW YORK— The smashing Re
publican victory in Maine last week,
is an accurate barometer of the tem
perature of the rest of the country,
editorial research reports show. Al
though the state is a traditional Re
publican bailiwick, the Maine vote
over the last twenty years has accur
ately shown the way the rest of the
Nation would go whenever the Repub
licau vote for Congress in September
exceeded 60 percent. In these twen
ty yars, whenever the Rpublicans
went above 60 percent, they always
followed through with a Republican
Presidential victory in November.
However, when the Republican
vote for Congress in Maine dropped
below 60 percent, the Democrats won
the Presidential election in Novem
ber. This happened in 1932, 1936
and ir. 1940, when Maine voted Re
publican for Congress respectively
48. 51 and 59 percent, and Mr. Roose
velt won the election in November.

“THE NEGRO
DISILLUSIONED”.
i
The great liberals of the white
South-Lillian Smith, Frank Graham,
Virgmius Dabney, Mark Ethridge,
Jonathan Daniels, Ralph Gill and
others have a mighty task cut out
for them in convincing the rest of
their fellow whites that true dern j
ocracv does not lie in subjugation of
his black brother. They have a
monumental job in changing whole
viewpoints to raise the millions of
Negroes throughout the South to a
level where they are considered as
and treated ljke men and women, e
qual with the whites save for their
color.
This almost impossible task which
the Smiths, Grahams, Dabneys, Eth
ridges and others have asumed is
made whit it is by the evil work of
a comparative few whites who are
thoroughly convinced that White
Supremacy is the key to the white
man's dominance of the world and}
particularly of the Negro.
AN ALTERNATIVE—
LEAVE SOUTH.
When millions of minds are sus
sceptible to vicious, insidious anti
Negro hate propaganda as are the
average whites of the South, the
situation appears hopeless and gives
rise to suggestions that the Negro
leave the South enmasse for other
sections of the country where at
least he might he regarded as a hu
man being. The constant preaching
of doctrines that portray the Negro
as sub-human, as more or less a
ward of the white man has its ef
fect on every white man, regardless
of his intellect or his understanding.
“Birth -of a Nation”, "The Clans
man” and other books and moving
pictures perpetuating the theory of
white supremacy have influenced
millions in their attitude toward the
Negro, thus making the position of
the Smiths, the Grahams, Dabneys,
Ethridges and Gills all the more dif
ficult.
As an example of this, I am quot
ing from the latest diatribe that is
designed to create more disunity,
hatred and confusion among Amer
ican people. Issued by the Crusader
Publishing Co., at Childersburg, Al
abama, the four page pamphlet is
entitled, “The Negro Disillusioned”
and is "By A Southern White
Friend.”
It has been reported that thous
ands upon thousands of the pamph
lets have been scattered through out
the South. The result can be seen
in the current yelps of the Negro
haters.

Nebraska Building Lags
(Continued from page 1)
in these cities on January 1, 1944. Of
these 7,828, or 8.3%, figures made a
vailahle by Investors Syndicate show,
were built since January 1, 1930.
"Post war home building and re
modeling in these cities appears prom
ising,” said Mr. Ryan. “Although
these cities in 14 years have built 7,
groes (and some white people) to
the actual status of the Negro race
in America; to acquaint them with
that lace’s lack of intellectual back
ground. and to pour oil on the troubl
ed waters of racial discord—disturb
ed by claims of equality that have no
factual support and exist only as the
hollow mockery of politics.
ONLY NEGRO ASHAMED
OF RACE ....
“Of the five races with which the
Earth is peopled,” says our Southern
White Friend.” only one, the Negro
is ashamed of hjs race and tries to
be something oth'r than what GOD
made him. Neither the Red, Yellow
nor Brown races (want to be white,
as the Negro ever -strives to become.
Instead of having .that pride-of-race
attached to the white, red, yellow
and brown races, the black race is
wholly lacking in that attribute: a
shamed of his ancestry, and always
trying to get as far from it as pos
sible-deluding himself with claims
of equality with the white race that
are not borne out by his appearance,
his present attainments nor his back
ground in recorded history. The Ne
gro attempts to conceal his identity
by sidestepping his racial name, NE
GRO, and classifying himself with
the ‘colored’ races, red, yellow and
brown, none of whom are Negroid
racially; are distinct in racial type,
and bear little resemblance to one an
other. The Negro’s claim to kinship
with them lies in the absurb logic
that, since they are not white, and he
is not white ; ergo, he is the same as
they.
“It continues our good Southern
White Friend,’- as the Negro claims,
his race is as good as the white race,
why does he not content himself with
Negro association ? Does not his
preference for white associates prove
his own claims to be ridiculous in
the tyes of the other races ? If the
Negro possesses all the intellectual,
inventive and administrative abilities
of the white race, why not prove his
contention by establishing a govern
ment cf, for and by Negroes and
demonstrating his equality with the
ruling races, white and yellow? Why
such scant attention to that Negro
proving ground, Liberia? Would ev
en the Negroes, themselves, feel se
cure with our coasts guarded by a
fleet manned exclusively by Negroes;
by a.i air force staffed and operated
by Negroes; by an army composed
wholly of Negroes? If not why
not?
DOES BANG UP JOB .
Oar good “Southern White Friend
has done a bang up job of spreading
racial confusion, disunity and hatred
with hsi, “The Negro Disillusioned"
He builds up a lot of phony logic to
support his premise that Negroes
smellolike horses and camels; that
the Negro’s best bet is to accept a
sub-human status of non-citizen,
ward-of-his-good Southern White
Friends believe that Abe Lincoln com
mitted a cardinal error in granting
freedom to the slave, and to hope in
some nebulous future when all the
whites are in their grave as the test
time for im to ask for the ballot and
the chance to ride on a southern
street car seated by a white person.
For every good gesture or word be
the great liberals of today—the Lil
lian Smiths, the Dabneys, the Eth
ridges, or the Gills, there is one vic
ious, evil white man who ctn reach
more “uninstructed-’ whites than they
can. This is seen in “The Negro
Disillusioned”. No telling how
manv copies of this drivel have been
distributed throughout the South. I
got it through the mail. Mavbe a
"•hole lot of white oeoole down
South and elsewhere did also.

828 new dwelling units, furnishing |
new homes for 31,312 people, at an
aggregate cost of $29,779,327, or an
average per person cost of $951.05,
there seems to bb an unsatisfied hous
ing demand, because 91.7 percent of
the families in these cities reside in
houses tanding for 14 years or more.
Volmic Off .',0.7% IN YEAR
“These Nebraska cities provided
new homes in 1943 for 916 people, a
drop ct 628, or 40.7 percent under
1942, when new homes were built for
1,544 people. Last year new housing
was provided for 308 fewer people,
(25.2%), than the 1,274 total in 1930
which the building industry considers
a 'normal' year.
“Population of these cities on April
1, 1940, according to latest U. S.
Bureau of Census figures' was 305,
738.
"These Nebraska cities, in point of
1943 new home volume ranked thirty

gions contain 310 cities. This survey
excludes: Idaho, Mississippi, Nevada

Mr. Ryan explained, "ranked thirty
