GALLUP POLL SAYS:
G. O. P. Efforts To Win
Colored Vote Of Nation
Lagging,Survey Indica tes
Tabulation Shows Racial Lines Secondary
To Economic Thought Of Negroes In
Most States; Democrats Favored
One of a series of news reports on the trends of political senti
_ment today. .
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute of Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J., February 15.—Recent Republican efforts on
behalf of F. E. P. C. legislation in the Senate once again highlight the
longstanding Republican Party problem of winning the colored vote
Mlt VJI . v» X * 1U1U>
These efforts are naturally con
centrated upon colored voters out
fide the Southern states, since the
vast majority of Negroes in the
South do not cast ballots.
There is no evidence today to
indicate that Republican efforts
are winning over any great pro
portion of colored voters in the
states outside the South.
Three to Two
In fact, a poll just completed
throughout the nation, which in
cluded a cross-section of Negro
Voters, finds the colored voters
favoring the Democratic party to
day over the Republican party by
a vote of three to two.
The fact that colored voters con
tinue to prefer the Democratic to
the Republican party can be ex
plained in large part by economic
factors.
Here are the figures of Negro
voters and white voters in com
parable occupation groups.
Question Asked
The figures are based on the
question:
“If a presidential election were
being held today, which party
would you vote for—the Demo
cratic or Republican?”
Demo- Repub
cratic lican
Colored voters -60% 40%
White voters in
same occupation-58 42
The figures above are of those
with opinions on the subject. Three
out of every ten colored voters,
about two out of ten white voters
in the comparable group, had no
opinion.
In All Classes .
As was mentioned earlier, the
above figure of 58% Democratic
for white voters in the same oc
cupation groups as the Negro vot
ers represents the opinion of white
voters in the skilled, semi-skilled,
and unskilled occupation cate
gories. The Republican party is
preferred by a majority 6t white
voters in business and professional
and farm groups, outside the South
and the two parties are about
equally strong among the white
collar workers.
This is not to say that race will

National Geographic Color

Shrunken Japan, stripped to vir

when Commodore Perry sailed in
to Tokyo Bay in 1853, is shown on
the National Geographic Society s
newest war map, Japan and Ko

supplement to the National Geo
graphic Magazine for December.
In his announcement of the map’s
release, Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor,
President of the Society, explained
that the 47 prefectures or pro
vinces of Japan are in contrasting
colors so that they may be clearly
delineated. Railroads and mair
highways are shown.

not at times be more important as
a determining factor than eco
nomic status, but the evidence does
indicate that until the present eco
nomic cleavages give way, or un
til the Republican party can con
vince voters in the middle and
lower economic income groups
that it represents their best in
terests, little headway in winning
the colored vote is likely to be
made.
One In Ten
At the present time, Institute
surveys find, only about one out of
every ten in the lower economic
groups think that the Republican
party represents his best inter
ests.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCHES, SOCIETIES
STUDY “SOUL” TOPIC
“SOUL” was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies on
Sunday, February 17.
The Golden Text was from Isaiah
60: 19. “The sun shall be no more
thy light by day; neither for
brightness shall the moon give light
unto thee: but the Lord shall be
unto thee an everlasting light, and
thy God, thy glory.”
Citations
Among the citations comprising
the lesson-sermon were the fol
lowing from the Bible: “The soul
that sinneth, it shall die. . . Cast
away from you all your transgres
sions, whereby ye have trans
gressed; %and make you a new
heart and a new spirit; for why
will ye die, O House of Israel? For
I have no pleasure in the death of
him that dieth, saith the Lord God:
wherefore turn yourselves, and live
ye” (Ezekiel 18: 20 to 31, 32).
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, “Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“We are commonly taught that
there is . a human soul which sins
and is spiritually lost.—that soul
may be lost, and yet be im
mortal. . . It is a sense of sin, and
not a sinful soul, which is lost.
Evil is destroyed by the sense of
good.
Understanding
. . So long as we believe that soul
can sin or that immortal Soul is
in mortal body, we can never un
derstand the science of being.
When humanity does understand
this science, it will become the
law of life to man^even the high
er law of Soul, which prevails over
material sense through harmony
and immortality” (Page 311.)
