ANTI-NEGRO LAW
GEORGIA'S DECISION (10a.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 30.

He disregarded warnings that the action might cause the establishment of negro political parties in the State democratic primaries in the southern States, which predominantly support the Democratic Party. It will mean that the virtual election of a successful candidate at the actual poll is regarded as a formality.
