EDITORIAL: \u201cTomorrow\u2019s Primary\u201d
\u201cDr. Coles, to the best of our knowledge, has many of the qualities of a good public official. We know of not one thing that can be said against him. . . . Until the time comes when a Negro can seek office not as a Negro but simply on his merits\u2014and if that time is ever to come it certainly is far in the future\u2014a Negro candidate cannot hope to be successful. . . . Dr. Coles\u2019 candidacy is an interesting experiment but in our judgement a very unwise one.\u201d

   \u201c. . . It was, therefore, shocking and disappointing to learn from the lead editorial which appeared in The Daily Progress on April 1, that Dr. Coles is not acceptable to you simply because he is a Negro.
   \u201cSuch a passionate outburst of race prejudice is to be expected from the ignorant and misinformed among us, but it hardly appears reasonable to find it in the columns of any American newspaper that fully comprehends the grave responsibility that the traditional freedom of the press implies. . . .\u201d
