Hall The die is cast. This presidential election is now just another phase of history. But we can learn many interesting things as we try to analyze the final results. This column has reached these conclusions set forth below. We are sure that the voter has become more intelligent in casting his ballot. He has lost his feeling of subserverience to a single political party. Especially when that party blandly ignores his desires and his needs as a citizen. He has thrown aside his former blind party loyalty and learned to vote with retaliatory effect toward those whom he realized were no longer worthy of his vote. We think that the results plainly demonstrate the pressing need for a rejuvenation in both Republican and Democratic Parties. The Old Guard of the Republican Party must be replaced by the liberality and progressivism that surely must exist in the young Republicans. The Democratic Party has to clean house completely, according to this electorate. For the voters showed that they feared to place absolute control of our Government into the hands of a Party that nurtures, protects and accepts in silence the slanderous rantings and machina tions against minorities, constantly spewed out by Talmadge, Eastland and others of their anti-racist ilk. The Negro vote has clearly indicated that cleaning house for the Democratic Party must also include firm support and steady imple mentation of the Supreme Court’s Integration Decision; the abolition of the social and economic barriers that attempt to keep the Negro in a second-class citizenship status throughout the South, and a wider and more just dipensation of political patronage to the Negro, where his voting strength is strongest. Futhermore, President Eisenhower, with his popular return to office seems to have been placed on trial by the Negro voter, to see if he will really be as effective in fighting for and pushing for the civil rights of the Negro as his partisans have proclaimed him to be. The verdict of guilty has been brought in from the polls against both parties in this mass political trial. They have been punished nationally, by state and locally, by an informed electorate.

Their nomadic ex istence finally took them to Vosges, France, from which place they immigrated. Here they will begin a new life eagerly await ing the day they can become American citizens.

The child, 12-year-old Carrie Mae McCants, whose mother once worked for Mrs. DaPonte, was taken in by the childless woman when her parents split up six years ago. At first Mobile whites paid little notice to the Negro child when she moved into the widow’s home. They took the position that what Mrs. DaPonte did was her own business. When the white mother and her Negro “daughter” went to Europe for two years, the case was forgotten. While Carrie and Mrs. DaPonte were abroad, the Supreme Court banned segregation in public schools. When the widow read about it she made the decision which has brought the wrath of the South upon her. She decided to enroll Carrie in a white school. This year she asked the Mobile; County school board to admit j Carrie to a white school near her home and the request was denied. Immediately, a band of 100 Ku Klux Klansmen burned a 10-foot cross in her driveway. Mrs. Da Ponte and the child hid in a friend’s home but the Klan hunt ed them down and burned anoth er cross. Threatening phone calls j and letters poured in. Former j friends ostracized her. Some of. her blood relatives stopped speak-1 mg to her. Her father left town.
