STATE GROUP

CONTINUED from page one.)
mar elections held for the purpose
OF nominating state, county and dist
riot officers, and by its terms could
not be construed rs authorizing the
passage Of the resolution involved.
"The power given is to prescribe
the qualifications Of those who vote
or otherwise participate in the
activities Of the party and no power
is granted to prescribe an additional
test for those who are qualified
voters"
The purpose Of the existing law
empowering the executive committee
to prescribe qualifications for party
members was to supplant the former
law expressly barring negro voting,
and which was held unconstitutional
BY the United States supreme court,
. Mr.. Pollard said. He continued:
"The previous laws Of which the
present one under consideration is
the outgrowth, did not relate or at
tempt TO regulate the action Of pre-
cinct or county conventions IN Sc
iecting delegates TO a national con
vention but dealt with the qualifica-
tions only of voters within the party
in those elections at which state.
county and district officers were
nominated. that is to say, elections
confined to the boundaries OF the
state.
when national affairs are to be
disposed Of, a quite different situa-
tion is presented. Under such reso-
buttons as that we are considering,
a voter would be denied the full and
free participation in the nomination
Of candidates for his party for ma
tional offices BY reason of a dis
criminatory regulation Of the state
executive committee Of his own
state.
Il think the legislature did not
intend To confer any such powers
upon the executive committee. The
members Of the party in other states
may or may not oe subjected to the
same test as il imposed By this
pledge. IL not. the democratic voters
in Texas. who are in every other
way qualified 70 participate in the
national affairs OF the party, would
