A reproduction of an editorial page of the Lighthouse and Informer, Columbia Negro news paper which is the mouthpiece for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is being circulated behind Timmerman's back. It falsely accuses Timmerman of advocating mixed schools in South Carolina. THAT is the BIG LIE. e Here ore the facts: April 17—Tha Lighthouse and Informer, edited by Mo- jeska Simkins, state secretary of tke NAACP, printed an editorial condemning George Bell Timmerman, Jr. The editorial ridiculed his plan to keep separate schools in South Carolina. April 24—The Lighthouse and Informer again attacked Timmerman and his plan for separata schools and praised his opponent, Mr. Bates. April 26—Speaking at Kingstree, Timmerman denounced the NAACP and displayed copies of the Lighthouse and Informer in which he was ridiculed and Bates praised. Timmerman cited tke NAACP block vote in Ward 9 in Columbia, which is 90 per cent Negro, showing that in the 1950 Governor’s race Bates received 1176 votes against a total of only 132 for his three opponents. Timmerman declared publicly and in the'presence of Bates that the NAACP and the Lighthouse and Informer are supporting Bates. This Bates did not deny. April 27, 28, 29—Timmerman again denounced the NAACP and publicly in the presence of Bates stated that Bates hes the support of the NAACP and the lighthouse and Informer. This Bates did not deny. April 30—In an editorial postdated May 1 the Light house and Informer, with Comntunistic cunning, pre tended that Timmerman favored mixed schools. Speaking in Charleston that night, Timmerman de nounced this editorial as tke "big lie of the cam paign." Ha emphatically stated his opposition to mix ed schools. Ha declared that "the NAACP has de* generated into a subversive organization in South Caroliha and lives and breathes the big tie." And be again publicly and in the presence of Bates stated that Bates has the support of the NAACP and the Lighthouse end Informer. This Bates did not deny. May 1—James M. Hinton, state president of the NAACP, attacked Timmerman's statement and said he would ask the U. S. Attorney General to investigate the charges against the NAACP. . * ‘ s. May 3—Timmerman, at a news conference in Colum bia, issued a statement supporting his charges against the NAACP. He refuted Hie charge of Mojeska Sim kins, acting aditor of the Lighthouse and Informer, that he advocated mixed schools. He stated: “The editor knew that was a lie. People of South Carolina who have heard me speak day after day knew it was a lie. I knew, however, that a little later ceoies of that falsehood would be circulated. I described these tactics then and describe them now as subversive." "Mojeska Simkins is known in Communist circles as Mrs. Andrew W. Simkins ... has been investigated the Committee on Un-American Activities ef the nitod States House of Representatives. This is a matter of public record which can be ascertained by communicating with the Congressmen from South Carolina. ... She has been connected with many organizations which have been branded by the Con gressional Committee and by the Attorney General of the United States as subversive and communistic." "For my part, I do not want the support of the Lighthouse and Informer, Mojeska Simkins, J. M. Hinton or the NAACP. I expect to be Governor and I woe Id net want to be under obligation to them." ir, May 12, 13, 14—Timmerman danouncad the n again NAACP and publicly and in the presence of Batoa stated that Bates hin the support of the NAACP and the Lighthoese and Informer. This Bates did net deny. May 15—The smear sheet which has been circulated widely over the Statu Made its appearanct. It ia a fun reproduction of the editorial page of the Light house and Informer of May 1 with the editorial pre tending to praise Timmerman. This smaar sheet does not show who reproduced it or who circulated it. STOP AND THINK. You know this smear sheet is not circulated by Mr. Timmerman's support ers. So it must be circulated by supporters of. Mr. Bates who are trying to deceive the people end split the white vote. as they want d Informer, James M. Hinton or the NAACP? Mr. Timmerman has publicly said he does not want the support of any of them. He has repeated^ denounced and repudiated them. This Bates has not daaa. Is Bates ashamed to admit NAACt support or afraid to deny it? MU»il ai paU far to tori.
