Montgomery. March 29.-Negro voters will not be allowed to participate in the Alabama democratic primary to be held May Ii, according to a ruling made to- day by w. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the state democratic executive committee.
 In support of his ruling Mir. Nesbitt quoted the following resolution adopted by the committee at it's meeting in Bir- mngham January 30, 1920:
 That, whereas, there are large mum Der of citizens in Alabama who will be qualified for the first time to partici- pate in the coming primary election, many of whom have but recently of fered their lives in the service of their country, ard that whereas the democratic party of Alabama wishes to invite with in its fold all of these new voters and any others who may become qualified before the date of holding primary election, therefore we hereby extend an invitation to all qualified white voters in the state of Alabama, and those who may become qualified by that time, who believe in the principles of the demo- cratic party. and who will support the nominee in said primary"
 This ruling, it was explained does not prevent negro voters from exercising the right of suffrage in the general election to be held in November.
