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 COOKS, PORTERS AND WAITERS CLUB BLACK AND TAN, 4041/, 121 a!
