 On August 16, Dickinson visited the Ionia fair. Ie was big ocasion, designated Governors Day." and a boy scout guardr of honor awaited him at the gates. In the gaurd were two Eagle Scouts, William and Don- aid Eddy, brothers, an dthey wore the scouts reguglation shorts.
 T don't like to see young men in Shorts," Dickinson said to William.
 I'm sorry, sir" William replied. T wear them because they're cool" Dickinson was sai dto have re- ferred then to the boy scouts code of morality and the incident was closed.
 The boys father is Arnold G. Ed dy, clerk in a dry goods store.
 Its peculiar that the governor should have made such state ment," he said. "The boys had no intention of causing offense."
 It was recalled in Lansing, the capital, that Dickinson made his dislike of shorts known to Jack Tor pey, of Toronto, a bicycle tourist, who stopped by to get his auto- graph. Torpey was wearing shorts and Dickinson told him that he thought shorts immodest attire.

Louisville segregation ordinance
unconstitutional in 1917. This or
dinance similar to those in other
cities prohibited whites and Ne
groes from living in the same dis
tricts.
The principle that a trial domi-
mated by mob violence is but a
"mask" and a denial of due pro-
cess was established in 1928 in
several cities growing out of the
Elaine, Arkansas, riots. Twelve
Negro sharecroppers we're senten-
ced to death and ct for long prison
terms at trials dominated by mobs.
These men were freed by this de-
cision and the precedent of due
processes established. This prece-
dent has been used in many later
cases including the famous Scots
boro appeals.
In 1926 the New Orleans segre-
cation ordinance similar to the
Louisville one was declared I'M
constitutional in a memorandum
opinion.
The first Texas primary case in
1927 established the right of Ne
groes to vote in the primary as
well as the general election and
held unconstitutional a Texas sta
tute which excluded Negroes from
the Democratic primaries
