...income whites as it will with the colored electorate." Even if race does cease to be a political issue, (which seems unlikely, since it has remained an issue in the "emancipated" North for a century) Negroes identified overwhelmingly with the Democratic Party in 1964, and their loyalties will not fade quickly. Negroes should not be anxious to forsake the party which gave them the Civil Rights Act for the party whose presidential candidate voted against the act in the United States Senate.

...Adetokunbo Ademola sped off to Ibadan to try to hammer a coalition government under Akintola together. For Awolowo's cheated followers, coalition left much to be desired, but it would at least be better than nothing. "Any region that does not ally itself with the North will surely fade," said one realistic loser last week. "If we remain in the opposition for five more years, we shall be relegated to the burying grounds...
