Knollenberg, of El Paso, Texas, the attorney who laid the groundwork for the celebrated White Primary Case victory lx-fore the U. S Supreme Court, to fight the newest form of disfranchisement o f Negroes in Texas. When the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the Texas law harring colored voters from the state Demo cratic primaries, wbife people sought to accomplish the same end by a taw placing in the hands of the state com mittees the power to determine who shall have the privilege o f voting in the primaries. Thus, instead of a law harring voters from the primaries the Democratic State Committee en acted a rule that no Negro should vote. This new dodge it bring challenged by the N. A. A. C. P-, precisely as was *8e White Primary Law. Dr. L A. Nixon offered himself aa a fully qualified Democratic voter and was refused a ballot. The N. A. A. C.
