Change Voting Rule

Negroes were allowed to regis
ter for the primary election here,
but according to James M. Hin
ton, chairman of the NAACP ex-
ecutive committee, it was an emp
ty gesture, since under the ruling
of the Democratic party, Negro
must be at least 81 years old to
vote.
Appearing before the board of
elections, April %, the delega-
ton crowded the court room of
the county courthouse where its
spokesman DR.. X. W. Nance, read
a statement which called on the
Democratic party of South Caro-
lima to meet the challenge Of the
times and allow Negroes in the
state to vote.
Mr.. Hinton said that Negroes
burst into applause and whites
were astounded when r. Herbert
Beverly, outstanding white attor,
ney, speaking as an interested
citizen, declared that the board
should ask the state Democratic
committee to revise its rules and
put in clauses allowing Negroes to
vote because, ITO deny the Negro
the right to vote is denying him
suffrage and is therefore uncon-
stitutional."
