the charges, argueing that Rev
Gatlin had not been denied his
constitutional rights in that he
has the right to vote. He also
argued that Rev. Gatlin was not
denied the right to run for alder
man but merely denied the right
to run on the Democratic party
ticket since the party is a "pri-
vate organization"
U. Simpson Tate, of Dallas and

that the democratic party Is not
