'eady TO make available the ben
eft of its experience and give legal
advice in fights against the white
primary system. Clearcut cases
of denial of the right to register
and vote will be fought out in the
federal courts if the gruond work
is carefully laid by the parties
concerned.
The Association cited its VIC
tory in Wilkesboro, N. c., follow
ing the 1884 congressional election
in that state. A white registrar
who had refused to register four
teen Negro citizens, eleven of
whom were college graduates, on
the ground that they had not full
filled the educational requirements
of the North Carolina law, was
tried in the federal court, found
guilty, fined $500 and given a sus-
pended sentence of three years.
This is the type of legal action the
N.A.A.C.P. will undertake in cases
where the evidence warrants ac-
ton.
