the amendment claimed it was
necessary to safeguard tn pri-
mary ballot. Opponents argued
that it would conflict with a US
supreme court decision that Ne.
groes cannot be barred from state

The bill seeks to evade the
supreme court decision by estab-
fishing the party primaries as
club affairs. Democratic party
adopted at the state convention
last August, will be limited to
white Democrats.
The National Association for

People called a meeting in Atlanta

a court attack upon the bill.
"The law will plunge Negroes
into political slavery" said G. L.

Hate Circulars TO Blanket All OF The SoUt
Jury Indicts Two
In Attack On Youth

Washington d C = The JUS
tice Department announced last
Wednesday that federal grand
jury sitting at Athens, Georgia,
has returned point indictment a
gainst James Werner and Tom
Werner of Monroe, Georgia, charg
ing them with assulting and in
| juring Golden Lamar Howard, a
II year old youth.
The two brothers are charged
with violating a federal statute
by conspiring to injury Howard
because of his appearance before
the grand jury which inquired in
to the lyching of four persons
in Walton County, Georgia, last
summer. Each man was held in
bond Of $4,000, the Justice De-
partment said.
The Indictment charged that
James and Tom Werner assaulted
and beat Howard around Jan l,
after the federal grand jury re-
ported it had been unable to i'd
entity any members of the Wal
ton County lynch mob.
Howard showed up in Atlanta
the day after he fas beaten. c. A
Scott, publisher of the Atlanta
World, and several other promin-
ent colored persons accompanied
him to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation there weber he gave
a detailed account of the beat
ing The two men were arrested
on complaint sworn out by
E Folz, agent in charge of the
F'BI office in Atlanta.
A ccording to Howard, the two
brothers, whom he knew, came to
the Monroe ice plant where he
wrked, late in the afternoon of
January 1. One asked him what
he told the grand jury and when
he replied nothing, the man &C
cused him of lying and started
hitting him in the face with his
fists.
One of the men drew a pistol
and they marched Howard into
COW stall at the rear of the plant
where they beat him with their

Mississippi Called Ideal Place For
Launching Hate Campaign; Circulars
Appearing In Miss. and La.

I New Orleans, La, - Circulars,
viciously antl-negro, anti-Semetic
and anti-labor, have been flooding
| New Orleans and the State of
Mississippi for the past month.
Mississippi, the circular screams,
sis the ideal battle ground" for
launching the race-hate campaign.
1.-THE movement will spread to
surrounding states" the circular
adds, making quite plain that it
means the other backward states
of the dep South.
LIKE G. L. K. Smith
Unsigned and unidentified, the
circulars, filled with lies Vituper-
alton and SANDER, read very much
like the hate propaganda demogo-
gically proclaimed since the end
of the war by Gerald L. K. Smith,
who attempted, thus far unsucces-
fully, to make Los Angles his ma
tional headquarters.
There are but two Choices"
shouts tire circular. "Jew-Commun-
ist-negro rule, or American free
DOM" And again, "The negro is
10000 years behind the white man
in the scale of evolution and he
can never catch up"
1t is significant that the ap-
pearance of these leaflets occurs
simultaneously with the quiet but
widespread payment of poll taxes
by negroes in Mississippi.
An all-time record for the pay
ment Of these taxes there mas
been set during the past few weeks
and the white Democratic Pri-
mary Advocates are pleading with
Governor Fielding Wright to con-
woke a special session of the Legis-
lature to enact white primary
election laws.
NEGROES AS TOOLS
The circular j sdirected to the
"Mississippians! Southerners! and
Americans!" and declares that the
"Jew-directed CLOS and Commu-
nists are determined to force ne
gro equality and union dictator
ship upon us!"
Main emphasis is directed again
st the Jews. The negroes are pic
tured as being used by the Jews
as tools to bring about the degen-
Grafton of white GenT1les. "Jewry's
aim," the vituperation continues,
sis the dumping of the inferior
blood of 100000 negroes in our
white veins. This would stultify
white mentality half a thousand
years.
1.-THE infamous FEPC was de-
signed by the Jews as aid to the
above. Proximity, that's it! The
working of negro men and women
on the same jobs with white men,
and women. familiarity, get them
