(Received October 14,11.30 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, October 14.
The House has approved a Bill to outlaw poll taxes and give voting rights to millions of negroes in the eight southern States. Governor Dixon, of Alabama, and Governor Jefferies, of South Carolina, denounced the Bill as an attempt to concentrate more power in Washington and as an invasion of the States’ rights. Senator Pepper, who sponsored the measure, said: “If we are going to fight for democracy' abroad, we should practice it nt home.”
