WHITE PRIMARY.
LAW ILLEGAL

The Texas white primary" law,
which prohibits negroes from voting
in a Democratic primary election.
was held unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court today.
The courts decision was rendered
on the appeal Of DIR. L. A. Nixon, an
Ell Paso negro, who sued C. c. Hern.
don and Charles Perras, election Of.
ficials, for $4,000 damages after being
refused the right to vote.
Nixon alleged that the act of the
Texas legislature Of 1923 violated
the State constitution and the
fifteenth and fourteenth amend.
ments to the Federal constitution
giving negroes equal rights.
Attorneys for Texas contended
that primary election was not an
election within the meaning of the
Federal constitution and that the
high court was without Jurisdiction
because the matter was political.
Justice Holmes delivered the
opinion.
The court neld that the law was
a direct violation of the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution.
