For admittanoa to this, whites bought regular tickets, but Negroes could be admitted only if they used their poll tax receipts as tickets. When election time, came around, Negroes accordingly found that they could not vote, as they could not show their poll tax receipts.

In recent years, therefore, we And increased activity at keeping ellglbl? colored voters from registering taa Democrats and voting in the primaries, for; as the Democratic Primary goes, so goes ths Southern election. While the, Democrats have been active in these moves, from the present political state of affairs, it is safe to say that Republicans would take the same steps, if it were to their advantage to do so, just as they hve set out to make their party lily white. Republican caucuses, conventions, Negroes excluded.

Tha Texas Cases By legislative enactment (as tried in Texas) or by party regulation, Oklahoma, Texas. Virginia, North Carolina. Arkansas and Florida have tried to prevent Negroes having a vole in the primaries. Tha first Texas primary fight began in 101S when Negroes of Waco went into ths Courts to get an injunction to prevent the holding of a "white man's In Issuing the injunction. Judge E.

T. Clarke ruled that "keeping Negroes from voting in the hits' primarieii was a violation of Federal of the State constitution, and also ooxitrary to ths Terrel (State) Election Law. Negro Tear Book, 1931 19S2; page 99. In 1822 the Texas Supreme Court reversed this decision and ruled that "any political Party had tha right in Texas to prescribe the qualifications for persons voting in its primaries and that therefore, ths Democratic party had a right to hold a 'White Man's Desplto this ruling Negroes continued their attempts to abolish a primary in which they could not participate. In Houston in 1821 a group of Negroes, being barred from th Primaries applied for a court order to restrain tha Houston Democratlo executive committee and the election judges from holding a "white" Primary, and to compel Texas Cases In But the Texas Democrats would not bo beaten and soon after the Supremo Court's decision, the Texas legislature enacted a new statute giving to the executive committee of the Democratlo party "the power to fix membership Negroes were as persevering sls tho white Democrats and they again sought injunctions to prevent elecUon officials from barring them from the Primaries.

They were unsuccessful in both state and lower federal courts, the two U. S. courts in Tevas and 'the Circuit Court of Appeals holding that the Democratic organization in Texas had the right to bar Negroes from the Democratic Primary, if it so desired; and that "judges and inspectors of Primary elections who acted under party resolutions which prohibited Negroes from participating in Democratic Primaries, were not officials or agents of the state of Texas, and their act was not contrary, to the state or federal constitution.

"All Republican" them to permit all electors, regardless of race or creed, to vote in the party Primary. The district court, however, held that under the election statutes question of voting in the Primaries was political, aid not legal, and that the court was "without Jurisdiction to Interfere with the action of the executive committee." The complainants' appealed to the First Court of Civil Appeals, but this also dismissed the suit; and ths State Supreme Court, without rendering an opinion, claimed that It had no jurisdiction when it was petitioned for a writ of error. Later this same case was carried to the United States Supreme Court, and this highest tribunal of the land ruled the case out a the ground that the "cause of action had ceased to exist," and an injuncUon is only issued to prevent some act which is yet to take place.

Not satisfied with the results of the order to exclude Negroes from tha Primaries Issued by the state executive committee, it was recommended at the State Democratic convention in 1822 that In view of the fact that certain counties had not excluded Negroes from participating in ths Primary elections, it direct the incoming legislature to "so amend the law as to forever exclude Negroes from participating In any Democratlo Primary elecUon held in any county in thts state." (5) Negro Tear Book 1831 32. page 99. In 1923 the state legislature passed the law as requested. The law was enforced throughout the state, but at El Paso. Dr.

A. Nixon, a regular Democrat of many years' standing who bad voted in previous Democratlo primaries, brought suit for $3,000 when he was prevented from casting his ballot. The courts of Texas upheld the legislative enactment, and the case bad to be taken to the United States Supreme Court, which In 1927, at one of those rare times when its opinion is unanimous, "declared the Texas law barring Negroes from voting in the Democratlo Primary election to be (6) Ibid (page 100). Political Limelight second Texas Primary Case) is now on the docket of the current term of the United States Supreme Court, and its outcome will affect 4,500.000 Negroes.

"Only duly qualified white democratlo it ruled "are declared to be and are held as members of the Democratlo party in Pensacola. and are therefore entitled to vote in the Primary election." When Henry A. Gocde. a Negro, was denied the privilege of voting, he filed a suit for $5,000 against the election officials (Goods vs. Johnson).

The lower courts have held that the barring of Negroes from the Primaries was not in violation of the constitution ot either the State of Florida or the United States. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Floridan and heard in October, 1929. but no decision hss yet been handed down. The Florida Jurists are probably waiting to see what decision the United States Supreme Court will make in the Texas Case. Cases Attract Notice don) did tot apply.

(page 19). The Virginia Case The contest over the Primary in Virginia, (BiUey vs. West) is most Interesting because here a federal court has gone fartheit in declaring illegal party rules which, in their actual working, bar Negroes from the Democratlo Primaries. 'In 1928 Judge Crump in the Law and Equity Court of Richmond ruled that Negro Democrat were not eligible to vote in the Democratlo Primary, and be denied the petition filed by James O. West for a writ of mandamus requiring election judges to permit him to vote.

This decision was appealed and the following year Judge D. i I I I I IT JdjCWLl Li' Says Negro Soldiers 1 Healthier Than Whites WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (By ANP) According' to a report to the secretary of wa, by the surgeon general of the United States army, Major General Robert U. Patterson, 'there was more sickness among the white, men in the United States than among colored" for the year 1930, in spite of the fact that the health rate for the army was the third lowest in history. Much of the hospitalization among white troops was due to misconduct, the report stated. tawreocs Groner.

in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia reversed it and in his decision ruled unconstitutional the Virginia Primary Law enabling political parties to set forth the re quirements for participation in Pri maries whlcn would permit the Democratlo party of Virginia to ex cluoe Negroes from Primaries solely on the basis of color. Since neither the State nor the Democratic party of Virginia has appealed to the South Candid About In regard to the Primaries then, the case to be decided Is whether Democratlo parties can maks rules defining their membership and thus bar Negroes from the Primaries; or whether because these parties get their power from the State, they Registrars Disqualify Negroes Registration tion, made and signed by the applicant in his own handwriting in the presence ot the registrar, without aid, suggestion or memorandum, and addressed to the proper officer, gives substantially the information which the Constitution. secUon 20, requires, disclosed nothing for which the Constitution provides that a person shall be excluded from registering and voting, and is sufficient in law, although not in good form, and shows that the applicant has comparatively little education. "2., The questions which the registrar 'may propound to an applicant for registration, under the Constitution, section 20, are limited to 'questions affecting his qualification as an elector as prescribed by the Constitution. The Constitution has prescribed as a qualification for an elec Wlde latitude of registrars.

Case of North Carolina's Political Study Club composed of School Teachers. The subterfuges used by registrars in finding Negroes ineligible for registration as voters, received two dis tinct blows this year In one case, before a State Court and in the other before a Federal Court. Tou will remember that registrars have had rather wide laUtude in the questions they ask Negroes and which Negroes must answer correctly in order to be registered. The Supreme Court of Appeals of the State of Virginia (In the ease of Davis vs. Allen) re versed an opinion of the Lower Court which upheld the questioning of a registrar in Hampton.

Among the questions asked Mr. Davis by the registrar were: 1. "What is meant by legal resi dence in Virginia," "When is the payment of poll tax not required." and a "What are the requisites to en able one to register In Virginia?" The Court in its decision, among other things, said: "1. The application for registra tor no test of knowledge or under standing or educational requirement other than that the applicant shall be able to make In his own handwriting, without aid, suggestions or memorandum the required application, and answer in writing the questions above referred to. "3.

Perhaps the first question pro pounded to the applicant in the case at bar may be sustained as a permissible question and the answer given by him, while showing his lack of education, is a substantially cor rect answer tnereto: but the second and third questions elicit no information from the applicant with refer ence to any qualification which he is required by the Constitution to have to register and vote, or with reference toj the existence of any cause from which the Constitution 6,500,000 Negroes of The spiritual inhibitions which dis franchisement has Imposed upon the Negro have been no less detrimental to our general welfare than the po litical and civil disabilities. Of the 6.500,000 Negroes of voUng ags In the United States approximately 4.500,000 are in the South. Ot this number at least 500,000 could qualify to vote under the present laws and the subterfuges, which in many places, have the force and effect of law. But the long seige of political repression and intimidation which the Negro has undergone has dons something to his morals that seems to give him a feeling of futility when the subject of the exercise of the suffrage is approached. It is this condition that challenges the utmost political acumen of our leadership.

It is a tremendous task to restors Want to Ut a Itarial. lBlal EARN la All United States Supreme Court, exclusion of Negroes from Democratlo Primaries in Virginia by party resolution is now unconstitutional. (10) 21st Annual Report (page 19). Significant of both the United States Supreme Court's decision in the first Texas Primary Case and the decision in the Virginia case. Is the rather even temper with which they were received by the Southern Press.

None were surprised at the decision and very" few peeved. Motives Behind Laws are therefore agents 'of the State, and their ruling as to race in violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. This the case of Nixon vs. Condon (the second Texas case) before the Supreme Court will de cide. provides that he shall be excluded from registering and voUng.

Neither his knowledge nor lack of knowledge of these subjects nor his proficiency or deficiency in education as disclosed by his answer to these questions has any bearing; on whether he is, or is not, entitled to register and vote; and the registrar erred in refusing to register him." This decision sets a precedent which may be used in other states, and it has rendered less vicious the elecUon registrars who, on the command of political committees higher up, have sought to prevent Negroes from casting the ballot. During the October, .1931 term ot the United States District Court at Salisbury, N. S. R. Sechrest, a white Democratic election official was charged with violating the fed eral laws in the presidential elecUon of 1S23.

in that he refused to register six Negroes on account of their race and color, despite the fact that they were able to pass the educational tests prescribed by the state constitu tion, in this case, federal operatives were sent to Investigate the charges ana. to tne surprise of all. they rave their tesUmony. Judge J. Hayes, who presided, found the elecUon official guilty of six counts, fined Mm (150 eacn on three, and on the other three placed him on probation for a period of three years.

Further more, ac cording to press dispatches, the Judge ordered the marshal to arrest Sechrest if hs failed to pay the fine: and he also cautioned him "if he or any of his friends or sympathizers auemptea to visit reprisals upon any of the colored people of his community whom they suspected of being responsible for his trial and conviction, his probation would end by a term of imprisonment in the Fed eral penitentiary in Atlanta." (11) Journal A 'Guide, November 7. 1931. warning to Registrars Issued by Greensboro Dally News In these matters of disfranchisement the Negro has been, making gains within the past several ye both as regards the matter of filtration and the powers ot the regis trars, and in connection with his participation in party Primaries. A maiier ox importance is lor our people to pay their poll taxes, keep their eyes open, investigate their political situation, club their resources, and carry cases ot illegal disfranchisement to the courts. Then.

too, they must look for subterfuges: for instance, it is reported that In one Virginia city this year no tax bill were sent out to Negroes in time for them to pay their poll taxes, and in another, persons owing for back years are being told at the city hail to pay for this last year only, which, if they follow such advice, will pre vent their voting in councllmanio and State elections six months away. Voting Age In U. S. political consciousness te the average man and woman, and It Is even a difficult task to develop politically minded leadership where it is sorely needed. The South Is as steadfast as ever la its determination to restrict the suffrage and these restrictions are not' confined to the black race but there are visible on the political horizon signs of change.

It la taking a great deal of patience, tolerance and political sagacity to bring about what every one recognizes as an approaching, modification of political sentiment and practices. These modifications have been delayed, in some instances, by Negroes themselves. In most places In the South it la still the rankest sort of racial heresy for a Negro to vote any other than a Republican, ticket. The white South is, of course, human Uakc SonQ tlczsy?

B. as weU as predominantly Democratic The South does not react so wen to the political strategy 'which seems to impel the Negro to vote against the best Interests, or at least against the most ardent hopes of his employer, his creditor, and many times his best friend spiritually and economically. Even to be violently east out and disowned iby the white Republican organizations in some places In the South has not cooled the ardor of most members of the race for a one party principle, regardless of the issues involved. There Is a growth of liberalism in the South which is more tolerant of the Negro as a potential voter, more tolerant of a broader axsreise of the suffrage by all the people, although it ia by no means ready for unrestricted exercise of the ballot. This increasing body of liberals In the South is responsible for the relaxa tion of resistance to Negro participation in politics that is evident la some quarters.

Ths growth. of this sentiment among the liberals will depend largely upon the trends of Ns gro voters themselves they gradually acquire, by tedious stages, freedom from disfranchisement. LOANS ON DIAMONDS. WATCHES, JEWELRY cost Uo per Dontfs. costs VSa per tnoatX eoste per month.
