ENTERS SUIT
TO
WHITE PRIMARY

Atlanta, Ga.-Suit filed June
18th in the Federal District Court
here against T. z. Suttles, local
tax collector and registrar for his
refusal to forward the list of Ne
gro electors eligible to vote in
the 1914 democratic primaries,

CPS all out attack on these states
defying the u. s. Supreme Court
decision granting full enfranchise-
ment to Negroes by maintaining
the white Primary" The plain
tiff, Wallace Van Jackson, Negro
registered voter of Georgia, is be-
ing represented by NAACP Spe-
cial Counsel, Thurgood Marshall
and A. t. Walden Of the NAACP
National Legal Committee. The
action in behalf of the plaintiff and
other Negro registered voters in
Georgia is a class suit which seeks
a d~eclaratory judgment and i%njunc-
ton.
The complaint sets out that SUIT
ties in violation of sections 2 and
A of Article | and Amendments IA.
Is and II of the United States
Constitution, kept separate lists
for Negro and White registered
voters; that last year in accord
ance with the state law of Georgia
and at the request Of the execu-
tive committee Of the Georgia dem
ocratic party, he sent only the
white list of voters to the polls
on primary day and refused to
send the names Of the registered
Negro voters.
Commenting on the suit when
the case vas filed, Marshall and
Walden stated hat the state Of
Georgia had refused to abide by
the decision of the ". s. Supreme
Court in the Texas primary case,
and this action was for the purpose
Of destroying the white primary
in Georgia as was done in Texas.

ing primary violations as well
as those to break discriminatory
practices in Alabama and Louisi-
ana, will follow.

me that you can't get Nylon stock
ings, but some people say that
they see a brand new pair on
the glamor girl of Miami Street,
who is if you don't know, is none
other than Mona Mae Robinson.
| wonder where she got the Nylon
Stockings when they are so hard
to get?
1t is also rumored that Mona
Mae has finally got a job! Believe
me the rate she was going l
thought she was going to learn
to mind her own business but it
seems that she has her a little
column in the news paper. Now
she can let people know just how
much she watches them SO she
can write it in the paper. If l
was the public l would watch what
| did because the big ears of Mona
Mae are always on the job to
find out just what you did the
night before, last night, and to-
morrow night. So before you talk
to your friends or even to your
self look around to see if there is
a big ear listing or if two little

bad policy, is watching you.
