inquiry among Republican and DEM
ocratlc leaders indicates, however. that
the La Toilette bill has practically no
chance whatever Of being enacted into
law. At best, 1t could only request the
States to hold such referendum or
primary vote. Congress does not have
the power TO compel the States to en-
gage in such referendum. other pro-
posals have been made in the past to
bring about Nationwide presidential
preferential primary, among them one
by Senator George w. Norris of Ne
braska. To be effective, however, it Is
held that the electoral college must be
done away with and the Constitution
amended. Anything short of such ac-
tion would leave the States in a posi-
ton not to take part in q referendum
on such a question unless they desired
to do so. Many Of the States still pick
their delegates to national political
conventions in party conventions. 1t
would be impossible for Congress to
legislate these party conventions out Of
existence or to compel the conventions
to accept the verdict of referendum held
under Federal law.

1.-THE three States-Michigan South
Carolina and Rhode Island-which Gov.
Ritchie and his friends have visited In
the past two weeks have all shown
tremendous enthusiasm for him, and we
have confidence that he may look for
support from these localities In the Chi

ALABAMA CA Sc
STERSCOURTS

Decision of the Supreme Court
setting aside conviction of the
seven Scottsboro (Ala) negroes
may have a profound effect on
criminal procedure in the
country, many court observers de-
clared today.
Conviction of the seven negroes,
charged with assaulting two
white girls, was reversed because
proper counsel was not provided
by the court. This, the high
tribunal held, is a denial of the
due process of law guaranteed by
the Federal Constitution.
Application of the decision, in
the opinion of some observers,
may affect scores of pending
labor cases where sentences have
been meted out by the courts
speedily, sometimes before the
accused had obtained lawyers.

total vote cast in the city.
Representative Howard w.
Smith, of the Eighth District,
who, with other Virginia Con-

was expected to lead the ticket
by about 200 votes as his Repub-
lican friends in the city outnum-
ber the extreme dryS who were
voting against him on account of
his vote on resubmitting the
Eighteenth Amendment last win

Two Hours For Count
