Jackson, Miss, April 12-The Perry

sippi evoking the worst provision of
the "grandfatherS clause of the
Southern Reconstruction State ConSti-
tutionS and the so called white Dem
ocratic Primary Laws designed to
keep Negroes in the South from vot-
ing and political participation, which
holds that no person whose grand
father had voted for the Republican
Party, or who themselves had voted
for. the Republican Party in the cleo
ton two years next proceeding an
election could not vote in a Demo-
cratic primary, and despite the fact
that the U. S. Supreme Court, in a
number of recent cases, including the
now famous Texas case has repeatedly
declared all such provisions and de
vices illegal, ruled here last week that
no Negro citizen who voted in the
last state and local elections could
participate in the doingS and affairs

Assuring the craftsmanship of the

with no thought of election procedure,
Miller said, that Mr. Howard had or
dered that one of those who took part
in the recent campaign for the right
OF Negroes to vote in Mississippi, in
the Blbo hearing, and who voted in
the last State and local election would
be allowed to take part in the affairs
of the Republican Party in the state
Miller stated that Howard had given
the order because his organization did
not want to be faced with the charge
of having one time democrats in its
ranks.
W. L. Mhoon, prominent Jackson
attorney, and long time a leader in
politics in the State who
single handed all but defeated
Howard in a contest before the Re-
publican National Committee in COM
on the Howard order said,
hat Millers action and the Howard
order was the best example of why
40 progress had been made with the
Republican Party in Mississippi under

wenty five years.
Atty. Mhoon said that if the right
