(ANPj. The Pulaski county democratic party ran up against a precedent making decision handed down by Federal Judge Thomas C. Trimble here last week on the right of a Negro to make a bid for election to a municipal office. The decision, which struck at the county’s attempt to continue a pattern of denial of right to first-class citizenship, centered around the case of the Rev. J. H. Gatlin who sought to have his name on the ballot as aldermanic candidate of Little Rock’s second ward. m The minister had instituted a suit in federal court charging that the county democratic party had denied him a place on the ballot. I He contended that his rights under the 14th and 15th amendments, which prohibit denial of equal protection of the law and the right to vote and participate in elections, had been abridged. Atty. J. R. Booker, representing the plaintiff, read sections of the county unit’s rules which provide that Negroes may vote, but may not become members of the party. He said, however, the right to vote j “cannot be dissociated from the right to become a candidate.” Backing his argument was Atty. U. Simpson Tate of Dallas, who said the party did not have the right to restrict its membership in the same manner as a club or private lodge, since the party is subject to and operated under state laws. For the defense, June P. Woo ten, secretary of the county com mittee, argued no federal office was involved in the primary elec tion for which Rev. Gatlin sought to run. He held that statutes of the federal government do not govern the conduct of municipal elections. At variance with the Pulaski democratic group was the situa tion in Jefferson county. At Pine Bluff, the county committee had approved weeks ago the candidacy of M. J. Trotter as aldermanic can didate for the first ward. Trotter is running against a white in cumbent, Aid.
