Republican Sees Avalanche of Negro Votes on Segregation Issue
Rep Richard M Simpson chairman of the GOP Congressional Campaign Committee predicted a big upswing in the northern Negro vote for Republicans this year. He and two Democratic campaign members disagreed with Rep Powell who said many Negroes will desert the Democratic Party unless civil rights programs return. Powell warned Eisenhower has not been strong on civil rights. Simpson cited a swing toward Republicans in northern cities and said by fall it may be evenly split, aiding GOP seats including Philadelphia and St Louis. Madden doubted a third party will emerge and said Negroes know Democrats fight for civil rights. Monroney predicted Democrats will close ranks by mid August and defeat Eisenhower by blaming farm prices and other administration mistakes. Bennett, a manifesto signer, said any party stand on civil rights could draw votes.
