"Mi vote was changed to the rejection side, observers noted. In the tense atmosphere that hung over the senate in anticipation of the coup to end the poll tax repeal fight, the senate disposed of routine business of introduction of bills and passage of bills on second reading. The report of the committee on privilege and elections was sub "We re just kidding ourselves if we think we have a true democracy when we put a tax on voting. And if we continue to trample the people like this we will cause them to be blinded to democracy and the decent things of life," the Nashville senator declared. CITES CASES He cited cases of other southern states who abolished the poll tax and who "seem to be having just as good a government even if all the so-called rif-raff do vote." "In Louisiana, Florida and North Carolina this tax has been abolished within recent years and the people in those states seem to like the new set-up," he said.

He warned, the other senators that if they didn't pass the repeal DEAF? to permit Senator White to discuss the remaining bills.

Speaker Maxwell ruled the motion livered the two main addresses, branded the action of the senate to table was not debatable.

He caustically reminded the senators that some of them, who had been elected on platforms giving allegiance to the repealers, were still opposing their passage. "Heaven help you when you get back home and run for office again after breaking a campaign promise on such a vital issue," he said. MORGAN REJECTION SPEAKER 'Following White's speech, Senator Morgan spoke for rejection.

He explained his stand mainly by saying that "the scbbols are helped out a lot by the revenue obtained from the poll tax." Morgan also said that "if a fellow isn't good enough to pay $2 regardless of who he is, then he should not be allowed that great American privilege of voting." He added that he thought the proposed bills were unconstitutional. White took the floor again and said that this bill, No. 7, was constitutional since the legislature had levied the poll tax in primaries and could therefore take it off. Speaker Maxwell then ordered a roll call for voting' and the bill was rejected by 21 to 11. Senator Headden then moved that Senate Bill No.

Then Dossett, reminded of his error by Harton, asked the consent of the Senate, which was granted, to change his vote against rejection on Bill No. 9 to one for rejection. He also voted against the two others speakers.

Senator MaWoney, who had refused to vote on the same bill, asked that his voted be recorded as against rejection. The vote on Bill No. 9 then stood at 21 to 11, the same as for the other two measures. The whole session lasted slightly more than an hour and rt was only White's speech in favor of his bills that caused the senators to spend that much time in deciding the most vital issue of the 1941 General Assembly. but was also ruled out of order.

Sen. Taylor Crawford of Lincoln was reported absent because of illness. Senator White said after the bills had been rejected that he "had waged the best fight I knew, and will study the question immediately to determine if any other action might be brought to effect at least partial relief from the poll tax restriction on voting." BILLS USELESS IN HOUSE Frank S. Hall, sponsor of the house bills on the same subject, said the senate action made useless any consideration of the same bills In the lower house. "Whether any consideration is feasible remains to be seen," he added.

"I am confident that the house would have voted for repeal," Hall said. Senator White sought to stem the tide of defeat on his measures at the start on a motion that the repeal bills be re-referred to the senate committee on education. On this motion the vote stood 18 to 11, with three not voting, against -re-reference. The administration forces picked up Lyon and Mitchell after this vote to make their 20 votes for rejection, and as soon as Treasurer Harton reached Senator Dossett and gasped in a stage whisper, the Dossett vote was added to the anti repeal vote. The Shelby-Cooper forces thereby made good earlier declarations of the 21 votes to reject the bills.

HICKERSON STRAIGHT 'NO' Floor Leader Hickerson's vote attracted particular interest until he cast it straight down the Una with the Shelby-Cooper forces. HJcker-son had earlier declared he was of an open mind, and would make his decision only after discussing the poll tax question with the governor. His vote was interpreted as the clinching decision of the chief executive. The complete roll call reflected the strict administration majority in the senate. Sen.

W. N. McKinney failed in his ruse to delay final action on the bills by at least three days after rejection was certain. The Cheatham county senator changed his vote from "No" to "Aye" and asked that a motion to reconsider be entered on the journal. Such a motion, under the rules, would give the senator custody of the bills for three days, during which time he is privileged to move reconsideration.

However, Speaker Maxwell ruled McKinney's motion out of order under senate rules, and later privately cited the rules to Senator McKinney. DEFENDS RULING McKinney then took the floor to say that Speaker Maxwell had ruled properly, and asked that he be permitted to change his vote again to the losing side against rejection. Senator Mahoney, who bad failed to vote during a controversy with Speaker Maxwell over whether his motion to table the rejection motion had been heard and recognized by the speaker, was later also allowed to cast his vote against rejection. And Senator Dossett was then permitted to change his first vote against rejection to the Cooper-Shelby list of votes for rejection. Senator Dossett said that he had not understood the question and had intended to vote for rejection straight through.

Speaker Maxwell, however, finished the roll call by voting for rejection himself.
