RACE CANDIDATES SHOULD ATTRACT VOTERS - THREE NAMED BY REPUBLICANS - RECORD OF PARTY IN LOUISVILLE AND JEFFERSON COUNTY DURING RECENT YEARS TOLD IN PART - AN EDITORIAL In the opinion of the Republican leaders in Louisville and Jefferson County, the over-all platform offered by the party in the forth-coming election should appeal to all voters interested in good and better government in the Louisville area without regard to race, color or creed--and they add, that the ticket should be of particular interest to the colored voters--Republicans and Democrats and independents alike.
It is pointed out that for the first time in the history of Louisville and Jefferson County politics, three Negroes are placed on a regular ticket as candidates for important places in the administrative affairs of government as it affects all citizens, especially colored people, who as a minority group often suffer the denial of the rights and privileges due them because they do not have friends at "Court". And it is emphasized that the three Negro candidates are on the Republican ticket, that they were named in the primary, were voted for by both white and colored citizens, and that they are on the regular Republican ballot to be voted for on Tuesday, November 8.
The three colored Republicans are Eugene Clayton, candidate for alderman from the 10th Ward; Charles W. Anderson, candidate for Magistrate from the Second District, and Jesse H. Lawrence, candidate for the State Legislature from the 42nd District.
It is also explained that in recent years the Republican party in Louisville and Jefferson County, has not held to the worn-out idea that Negroes should vote the straight Republican party ticket because Abraham Lincoln, the father of the party, freed 4,000,000 slaves back in 1863, and should continue to  vote that way whatever the policy of the party or the attitude of the candidates on the ticket in 1963, or whether in 1949 the Republican party leaders, believing in fair play, named among the candidates on the ticket three colored men.
But we are reminded that it was back in the twenties when (Continued on page 4)
HOLD AUTOPSY IN LEXINGTON
Lexington, Oct. 6--Attorneys representing Patrolmen William Lewis and William Foster, being held to the grand jury in connection with the fatal shooting of David Hanley, a colored youth of 17 on September 1, protested the autopsy which was held on the body of the youth last Thursday. The attorneys said that the body of Hanley was exhumed without notice of the time and place to the city manager, the police department or other defendants.
The autopsy was performed at the Cunningham Funeral Home by Drs. Marshall Jones and Henry Sweets, Jr., who reported they did not find the bullet which killed the youth who was shot when he ran from the officers who were on search for a reported prowler.
Following the autopsy, James A. Crumlin, Louisville attorney for the State NAACP, who is assisting in the prosecution of the case against Officers Lewis and Foster, asked Manager J. Pelman Johnston to have the two patrolmen to turn in their weapons.

Henderson-Winstead Reception One of Season's Most Beautiful
One of the most decorative wedding receptions of the fall season was that of Miss Cora Laine Henderson, daughter of Attorney and Mrs. Dennis Henderson and Mr. Calvin Roy Winstead, brother of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Beckett, popular morticians of the city. The reception was held Saturday evening at the beautifully appointed home of the bride's parents at 734 S. 21st Street. White gladioli mixed with white chrysanthemums and fern in a white corneicopia shaped vase flanked by silver candlesticks holding tall white tapers decorated the lovely dining table, which was adorned with an exquisite white Madeira tablecloth. At one end of the table was a crystal punch bowl filled with iced fruit frappe and was presided over by Mrs. Fred Dooley and Miss Mildred Williams. Promptly at seven o'clock the receiving line was formed. The bride was a vision of rare loveliness in her lustrous ice-blue satin gown fashioned off-the-shoulder with a fitted bodice trimmed in cuff bands of cascade at the sides. She pinned a double white orchid on her shoulder and wore an ice-blue nylon stole. Her mitts were ice-blue satin. The bride's mother was attractive in desert rose metallic brocade fashioned with a flared skirt with a fitted bodice and a flange collar with button trimming and mitts to match.

"INCURABLE CANCER" STOPS 10-YEAR PENALTY The fact that Mrs. Katie Mae Cissell, of 400 block S. Eighth, has an incurable cancer as reported  by General Hospital doctors, resulted in her 10-year penitentiary sentence being suspended Wednesday, that she might "die in peace and privacy." Mrs. Cissell was found guilty on a voluntary manslaughter charge by a criminal court jury on July 2,  being found guilty of fatally stabbing her husband with an ice pick during an argument December 18.
