know their rights in the premises.
IT seems, too, to US that a petition
should be addressed to the chairman
of the Democratic Party of the
State asking that the party man
ayers eliminate this resin, Ion so
that the organization can meet new
conditions and adapt itself to mod
ern courses of political procedure.
But why should we interest our
selves in this matter? The Repub-
Ecan Party of this State has adopt
ed much of the uniform and prac-
tees of the bourbon Democrats and
il may be that we shall be required
to move North, where other condi-
tons prevail and where the colored
brother, who wishes to support Re-
publicans may be at liberty so to
do without experiencing sach en-
barrassments as confront I'm, Ia this
State.
The Negro Democrats are having
rough shedding. Certainly If they

nominations for public office.
q The. provisions Of this chapter
shall be literally construed so that
the will of the electors may not be
defeated by an informality.
fn rtf AffN| Gal "a
There is no doubt in the world,
but what Judge Crump has literally
construed this law in favor of the
Party. He evidently takes the posi-
ton that the list of party voters
is in accordance with the constitu-
tional command that legislative
body shall be the judge of the
qualifications Of its own member
Ship and after the committee on
credentials has reported and that
report has been adopted, it becomes
the official roster. No one has
right to force any other names on
it. The judges Of the Democratic
Party become official judges, being
named by the electoral board. These
judges enter upon their duties on
the morning of the primary election
and they take the following oath:
l, A. B., Judge Cor clerk) Of the
election Gas the case may bel do
swear Cor affirm) that I
will perform the duties of judge
Tor clerk Of the election Gas the
case may be) according to law and
the best of my ability, and that I
will studiously endeavor to prevent
fraud, deceit and abuse in conduct
ing this election. So help me God.
This would be all right when it
comes to the roster of the Party,
but there is a provision by which
other persons, aside from those on
the official list may vote in the

Democratic Primary, even though
they may have been Republicans,
independents or what nots and this
is the cause of the present litiga-
ton. The question of race and
color comes to the forefront and
members of the Democratic Party
organization, acting, as the legal Of
ficers of the State deny the right Of
suffrage to Negro Democrats on ac-
count of race and color, which de-
NAL is not in accord with the statutes
of Virginia or those of the United
States. f<lls
Are these legalized officers agents
of the State or has the State be-
come the agent Of the Democratic
Party? With the proper answer to
these questions will come the sols-
ton OF thu. ,..,t .ar-ass - - =
We take It that the citation of po-
lice powers means that the power
will be 'liberally construed" to the
detriment of the Negroes, who are
most anxious to get inside of that
Party that is most DESTROYS Of not
having them inside of the Party
lines.
The hint has gone forth that you
can do what you please so long as
you do not insert it in the written
rules and regulations. This will
constitute a valid retreat for the
Negro-haters. Texas has nullifled
its Primary statute on paper, but
that Negroes in that State are
voting; in Democratic primaries there
has not as yet been heralded over
this country.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1928-04-07
ANOTHER VIEW OF AN INTER
ESTING SITUATION

Whether or, not there will be a
Federal review of the decision OF
the Law and Equity Court with
re$erence to the barring of Negro
Democrats from participating in
Democratic primaries remains to be
seen. 1t is evident that grantlns
that Judge Crump was right in ms
construction of the law, there re-
msins still another point, which was
not fully covered by his opinion and
il will surely merit attention,
AS the Democratic managers end
officials themselves have a right TO
provide the roster of the members
Of the Democratic Party, whether
thst roster was prepared upon a
basis of race OF color or what hot
may be generally conceded without
materially affecting another point ct
issue The Democrats themselves
have provided that any of the. cleo
torate may qualify and vote in the
Democratic primary even though
sueh a person is not affiliated with
th& Democratic Party, provided he
has paid three preceding poll taxes
and he declares his intentions and
pledges himself to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket at the next general
ehction.
he makes this affirmation, not
before he officials of the Demo-
cratic rarity alone, but before the
authorized legal election officers of
TIE State, for they became so, when
they v-c2e named by the electoral
beard took the regular oath of
office. NOW, here comes the rub"
A NEGRO voter comes from the
electorate and announces himself
ready md willing to make the
afirmal:on relative to supporting
the regular nominees of the Demo
crgtic Party under this special pro
vian of that Party.
When he is refused the right to
vote, it is done by legalized agent
of The State in violation of the laws
of the State of Virginia and of the
LT,h ia 18th Amendments -
5ha Cons tuition CT Tie L. s. aai IS
based upon the race and color of
the, elector. BY what species of
legal reasoning can it be granted
thas this course can be followed and
the. elector disfranchised in legal
ly constituted Democratic primary,
wkge the election is being held
under the control and auspices Of
the State for the benefit of the
Democratic Party?
Certainly, it would be well for
the Federal courts to define this
stage of the proceedings and to let
the black men of the Southland and
thss,Yomen, too, for that matter,

Hale Still Proving
 A Persistent HoldOut

Philadelphia. Feb. :3 C9-sammy Hale, third baseman. is proving tho most pronounced holdout the Ath- letics have had in years, according to news received today from the clubs training camp at Fort Myers. Fla. Connie Mack told the scribes that Hale had not signed and that he would either play for the salary offered or remain in the Texas pam handle among his oil wells.
 T want Hale. and I want him to be satisfied with our terms" Mack said. q guess he will be here later. However. If he thinks he can make more money at something else I'm willing for him to try"
 Mack also announced receipt of . long letter from Try Cobb and said he wouldn't be surprised" if the Georgian was with the team again this year. ''It is possible he may fool mx and sign elsewhere" Mack said. but I really think he is going 10 be with us again. I don't care how many games he plays, just so he is on the team. I'm sure Ty wants to play ball another season."
 Seventeen pitchers are in camp and all Were slated to get down to active training today. For the pres ent practice will be limited to morn- ing sessions. with two workout daily beginning next week with the arrival of most of the regulars.

Boston Braves Arc Stiff

Boston. Feb. 23 R,-Ths Braves were stin and sore today after holiday that was . loaf to every one but them at their St. Peters, burg, Fla. ball park. Doc Gautreau worked out at third base apa Ed. Brown at first. Whether the former will be given tho hot corner remains to be seen but indications were that Jack Slattery means to allow him his chance to make good. Browns status is moro doubtful if Burrus shows any sort of form. Moore could probably beat him out while Farrell. it is conceded, could have the job over both of them but just now it looks as if the former Is go ing 10 the outheld and Farrell to short.
 Over in Bradenton the Red sox pulled in and were greeted by . brass band and . healthy delegation of local enthusiasts.

JAPS' TENNIS MEN
 WILL BE CHANGED
Davis Cup Team Likely to Be
 of New Players

New York. Feb. 23 R>-Japan. in the forefront of international ten- his for the past decade with such notables as Icfiiya kumagae, Zenzo Shimixu and Takeichi Harada lead ing its teams. will be dependent to a great extent upon a new group of players in its forthcoming Davis cup engagements.
 Although Harada has been named captain of this years cup team which plays in the American zone, there is some doubt, owing to busi- ness in Japan. whether he will be available. In such contingency the onus of the Japanese teams play in America would fall on the shoulders of Yoshiro Ohta, Teizo Toba, Timio Abe and possibly Thumio Tawara.
 Ohta, Tawara and Toba played with Harada in the Japanese cup teams matches here last year and acquitted themselves creditably. It Is said their technique has improved and that they could present more formidable threat in the approach ing international clashes.
 Abe, a student of Waseda Univer- slty of Tokio. ranked among the leading players of Japan last year. being a member of one of its fore- most doubles combinations. He Is now en voyage to the United States.
 All of these younger Nipopnese give promise of developing into as great stars as their predecessors. Kumage and Shimizu.
 At any rate, the Japanese contin- gent Is coming to the United States this year. with high hopes and certainly with an excellent chance for greater glory~ than in 1927. when Papan defeated Mexico and Canada, only to be beaten by that conquering group from France.
 The greatest approach of Japan to world supremacy in tennis was reached in 1921 when Shimizu and Kumagae threw aside all competi- tors in the preliminary contests but lost to one of ,America's great est teams William Tilden. William M. Johnston. Richard N. Williams and Watson M. Washburn, in the challenge rounds.

 Penn and Princeton continued in a deadlock for second place as the Quakers repulsed Cornell by 2S to 26 while the Tigers whipped Yale. 47 to 24. The Hanoverians have won five games in six starts while Penn and Princeton have taken four out of six each.
 Pennsylvania has withdrawn its protest against Dartmouth's victory in a league game at Philadelphia Feb. IT. in which it was alleged the officai scorers omitted crediting Schaaf with a free try which would have made the count at the end of the regular playing time so-all.
 ''The official score shows Dart mouth to have won the game and we are perfectly willing to let mat ters rest that way" Ernest D. Co., aens, graduate manager of athletics at Penn, advised the Dartmouth au- thorities, thereby ending bickerings which were down for an airing at an executive committee meeting of the league here today.
 We feel that the winning or the losing of any contest is insignificant to cordial relations with sister insti- tutions," Cozens added.
