On rriday, the 13th, much to the surprise of we colored pooplV/c

we find defeated candidate, Sumter Lowry. the most rabid and determined se-
gregationist in the State of :lorida, lined up with and actively supporting Doyle
Carlton. Jr. for Governor. (See Tribune Editorial of criday, May the 13th. )

Can't be any doubt about it because the Tampa Tribune Editor-
lal Page rriday, May 13, 1960 wrote "Sumter Lowry working against candidacy
of arris Bryant for Governor".

Sumter Lowry. defeated candidate for Governor, is a wealthy
insurance man also drawing a government pension at more than $10,000 a year
rutircmcnt military pay for service as head of the National Guard of r lorida.

Sumter Lowry, lilo-ion friend of Carlton's will be a terrific influence for the
next four y.ars. 1: Carlton is elcctcd.

Wu colored people know whore rarris Bryant stands on thu
question of fairness. integration. segregation and civil rights.



The secret agreement between Sumter Lowry. defeated candi-
date for Governor and loridas leading politician for segregation. and Candi-
date for GOVciftOl, Doyle Carlton, Jr. puts the colored people on notice that
some agreement has been made.

Sumter Lowry publicly is the most outstanding opponent of
the NAACP in lorida and has continued to lambastc the NAACP and its mativcs.
practices, It adership and members and how he is a leader in the Doyle
Carlton camp for Governor.

On Election Day. dont be fooled by political promises or by
mislud leadership among our own group.

The :arlton forces have unlimited money. Heads of certain
organisations of our [L'Opld are well financed from tho Carlton slush-fund.

Tampa Tribune reported Carlton spent almost onc-half million
dollars in the :- irst Primary and it is predicted that the spending in the Scoond
Primary to force Jnrlton's way into the Governors not: and the Gowrnor's
chair in Tallahassc-c will be unlimited.

There art.- pcopic in our race who. for five or ten thousand
dollars, closa their eyes to the alliancc bctwccn Sumter Lowry and Doyle
Carlton. Jr. in this Governor's race.

Lowry. bitter enemy of the NAACP will be 3 controlling factor
in the Carlton administration should Carlton sucCccd in the Governor's race.

rurthcr proof. Tampa fribunc- r ridny, May 13th, scvcely
critich carris Bryant for not going along with L-owry on his chlugitiO-
interposition platform.

Ml colored folks buwarc of the Lowry-Carlton combination.
Road carefully the Tampa Eribunc oi rridayoMay l3, 1980. wherein Sill'llicl'
Lowry charges Bryant failed to support Lawry's program for scgrcgation.
Lowry-Carltoa-Tribunc. are blowing hot and cold. They did not expect us to
road the L ridah May l3th editorial.
