G 0 P Says Leader
CHICAGO - Edgar B. Brown.
director of the National Negro
Council, which. he asserted. rep
resents 4.000 000 Negroes, said
today that the Democratic Nt
tional Convention's platform had
cost them the Negro vote.
“The Democratic platform does
note hold out one word of hope
along economic lines to 13.000.-
000 American Negroes," Brown
said. “On the other hand, the;
Republican platform endorsed the?
antl~poll tax and anti-lynching|
legislation and Fair Employment
Practices Committee.
“Although the Negroes ot the
South still are to be denied their
right to vote by the Roosevelt
Democratic administration. the
Negroes of the North will cast in
November their ballots for Gov

PRENTIS I. FRAZIER COMMENTS
ON THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
Now that we have had bothi
the Republican and the Demo-‘
cratic national conventions, and‘
both parties have nominated their]
respective candidates for the‘
highest oitices‘in the land, iti
would be wise for us to pausel
for reflection and study before}
deciding for whom we shall casti
our votes. Especially is this true
for the minority group with‘
which I am identified. The can
dldutes who have been nominated
have been in the public eye [or
many years in various capacities
and we. have had an opportunity
to view, and now we should re
view their administeration, their
munagments, the deeds. commit
ments and acts they have done
both in private and public life
that we may assume our obliga
tions as citizens with intelligence
and integrity.
We have also before us for ourl
consideration the programs set
up by both parties to guide their
administration. After careful
study we must decide what each
program means [or the voters and
the nation at large; for the states
and for the various races that
constitute the citizenry of the‘
states. It should be our concern‘
what the party program means}
for the world both during the
present turmoil and in the post
war period. We have heard the
two parties discussing the vari
ous issues and measures ir- their
platforms and we ought to be
able to draw a conclusion for our
selves as to which of’the parties
will be able to do the most for
