NAACP Brief Filed To Bar Bilbo j From Taking Senate Seat i NEW YORK — United States Senators were today given copies of the detailed and comprehensive brief filed with the Special Com mittee zo investigate Senatorial Campaign Expenditures by the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People, cit ing precedent and legal arguments for denying to Senator Theodore G. Bilbo a seat in the 80th Con gre s. on the basis of the conduct of his primary campaign in the state of Mississippi last spring. Prepared by Charle Houston, and Thurgnod Marshall, counsel for the MAACP, and the legal staff I of the -Association, the brief is witten to show that “Senator elect Bilb i was guilty of acts and ; conduct v - icli were contrary to sound public policy, harmful to the dignity and honor of the Sen- i ate, da at nus to the perpetuity of free government, and of such a 1 tf tut jag to taint with fraud I and corrupt.oh the credentials for a scat in the -Senate presented by him; and, that based thereon *' • • Be wise!

Tine brief states that the State Democratic Committee had de clared that Negroes had such a ight of participation prior' to 3enator-e!ect Bilbo's active cam paign in which he advocated sup pression of the Negro vote in the primary and admitted that if he could have '‘legally” prevented it lot one Negro would have voted, ■tating that the ‘ testimony (in •_1 c Senate headings) shows a late-wide condition of intimida tion not merely of individual Ne groes ’ t of large blocks of Ne rroes,” the brief continues, “ti i 'vt - conclusively demonstrate chat Senator Bilbo did not receive (le nomination by an erpre - roor. : a to .iority of the cualified De* I end u ,der Mississippi law was ' po~0-c-ly on the ticket.his n i therefore irregular and void " a.the brief state". “State! courts have clearly established the l principle that where qualified dec- . orp. sufficient in rumber to have | changed the result of the election, j were corruptly and fraudulently lepriveu f an op citunity to vote, i iie eh Cion is void.Senator Bil bo merely claims a primary ma- 1 iority of 3.831 votes, but when I 'V ’urge Negro population and ’8,972 discharged Negro veterans I in Mississippi are considered it is j olain his majority vanishes.” The ! brief asserts, therefore, that since it has been established by the courts that “The right to vote in the primary in Mississippi without discrimfnation because of race or color is protected by the Federal Constitution.there cannot be a lawful ‘white Democratic Pri mary' in Mississippi as alleged by Senator Bilbo in his testimony.” The brief further states: "We have just recently concluded a life and death struggle with nations dedicated to the principle of ra cial superiority. We found this to talitarian concept so dangerous to our own democratic existence as to warrant the sacrifice of the lives of thousands of American ci tizens to conclude and eradicate these evil forces.Senator Bilbo has shown by his campaign state ments that he does not believe ‘that the right of citizens of the United States to vote.should .not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or pre vious condition of servitude. “The American republic form of government is based upon and depends for its continued exist ence upon the free and untrammel ed exercise of the elective fran chise by all of its citizens. If men who sit in the Senate of the Unit ed States do not subscribe to this basic principle the ultimate result will be the same as though this government were overthrown by military force. Every republican form of democracy is founded up on the right cf the free exercise of citizenship in the casting of the ballot. If this is destroyed or taken away, whatever be the means, the government fails; be cause the very fundamental prin ciple of its establishment is vio lated and taken away.” In conclusion, stating that the Senate itself is on trial before the bar of world opinion, the brief submits that “.failure to meet j the issues here presented head on and fairly may yet result in dras tic and most serious consequences to our entire nation in world af fairs." 24th & I ake Sts.

At St. Louis, Detroit, Indianapolis, Jackson, Miss., Dallas, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Jacksonville, Fla., New York City, JFort W^orth, Cleveland, and many other cities, skilled Negro professional workers work unceasingly to combat the crippl ing effects of polio.
