MICHELET ATTACKS ELEC-
TION LAWS IN SECOND
STATE SURVEY

Washington, Jan. H. Simon
Michelet, president of the National
Get-Out-Vote club, today attacked
the election laws of Alabama for
unconstitutional limitations on the
voting rights of the citizens of
that state and for permitting on
the head of the election ballots
Democratic emblem bearing the
words "White Supremacy"
The summary of Alabama laws
is the second state survey made by
Michelet in a campaign to mod
ernize election laws in all the
states. Michelet is former Min
nesotan, one-time secretary to Sen
ator Knute Nelson and for many
years a student of American poll
tics. He has a law practice in
Washington.
Michelet's indictment of Ala
bama's laws is severe. He protests
that these statutes define voting
as a privilege and not as the
fright" defined in the Constitution.
He asserts that twenty sections
of the Alabama constitution re-
strict and abridge the voting "priv-
ilege"; that it is one of ten states
making poll tax a prerequisite to
the right to vote and the only one
to establish this restriction in it's
constitution.
It is complained that citizens
may be disqualified for unemploy-
ment and that their names may be
taken from the polling lists by
party bosses. These restrictions
have largely grown up to bar the
colored vote, according to Michelet's
analysis.
Michelet cites three features of
the Alabama laws as Outstanding"
in limitations on suffrage. He
points out sections of the statutes
enfranchising q "ruling Glass;" the
descendants of certain grand
fathers; sections making miscege-
nation grounds for disenfranchise-
ment; and provisions empowering
the state executive committee to
elk and prescribe and declare and
determine who shall be entitled to
VOTE"
Laxity in the compilation of the
states election laws and the pub
locations of returns is also pro-
tested.
Michelet recommended a series
of amendments to Minnesota cleo
ton laws as the first move in his
campaign for reform of the ballot
and of the election laws of the sew
eral states.

Crowd Jams Station.

A crowd estimated at $500 or
more damned close to the gates at
the Milwaukee station as Joe and
his party more or less guarded by
police wended it's way through the
yelling crowd of all races which
pushed and showed for a chance to
touch Louis.
Several women and children in
the crush were slightly injured
when the crowd got out of control
of the police detail. Joe meanwhile
moved slowly through the hubbub
seemingly unperturbed over the
crowds with whom he has to deal
with upon every public appearance.

of sports writer's, boxing and wres-

of the Tribune as hosts.

were made of Louis, the reception

Joe Louis Smile
Wins Minneapolis
By Staff Writer

Joe Louis was asleep when he ar
rived in the Twin Cities Wednesday
night! When a Minneapolis well
coming committee and several
newspapermen boarded the Mil
waukee's crack flyer at the st. Paul
Union Station they were met by
Julian Black, co-manager of Louis
who told them Joe was taking his
rest!
Very soon, however, Joe was up
and dressed and busy talking to
George Barton, sports editor of the
Minneapolis Tribune and others
who formed the welcoming COM
mittee.

Nothing Bashful About Joe.

Louis, looking for all the world
like a big overgrown kid of IS
years of age, while not vociferous,
exploded the myth that he doesn't
talk much. On the train going
from st. Paul to Minneapolis he
chatted with newspapermen and the
welcomers readily and obligingly
gave autographs to those who re-
quested them.

with George Barton and Irwin Ru-

there, too. And, being penniless, he
got a painting Job as workman on

thus combined painting with archi-

1t is, however, Of historical impor-
tance that Hitler was rejected as an
artist, and took to se-painting.
Because II he had been successful In
getting into the academy. he prob
ably would never have been heard
from again. AS 1t was, the embittered
youth became enraged against the
politics of his proletarian associates,
and developed hostility against So
cial democracy which became an OBJ
session.
Also, he encountered in Vienna, in
those days, some Polish Jews, who,
living in more or less segregated
part OF the Austrian capital, still
chung to the long black caftans and
the curling ear-locks which are
the costume Of ghetto Jewry. They
seemed strange to Adolph Hitler, and
to seem strange was to seem sus-

So whether he was a paper hanger
or not, the fact Of his Austrian origin
Is important. Actually, the whole

could only gather strength in coun-
tries like Austria, and its German
neighbor, Bavaria, where the Catho-
lie Church really was all-powerful.
Many otherwise pious Catholics
were outspoken against the priests,
whom they called the blackies," be-
cause of the high church taxes and
the rigid control which the church
exercised over society and politics
