Wilej A on tlio Amendment Again
Editor Democi at:
In reply to your criticisms
of ray views on the amend
ment recently published in
your paper, I wish to say
that this great question now
confronting the American
people upon this vital ques
tion hangs the political des
tiny of the i literate white
men of the Old North State
who cannot read and write
any section of the Constitu
tion in the English language.
The advocates of this a-
mendmnt have failed to
turn their light on Sec. 4
Gentlemen, turn on the light.
Don't be afraid to tell t h p
people what Sec. 4 means
1 consider the amendment to
the Constitution the most
important question that has
ever been presented to th
people of this State. The
right to vote is a privilege
very much prized by the A
merican people. It is a fact
those who have once enjoyed
the high privilege of voting
are loth to give it up with
out a heavy struggle.
GentlcMnen, you can vote
to perpetuate this crime of
conspiracy against the illitcr
ate white men of our Sfate if
you wish. This is a highly es
teemed privilege that v o u
have, but I will say to you
when you do this you violate
that solemn pledge you took
to support the Constitution
of the United States, for the
proposed amendment is tin
constitutional to the 15th
amendment, as I understand
it.
1 take the liberty tosnv
that the republican party
ought not to let the negroes
dominate in their conven
tions. They ought not to in
vest any power whatever in
the hands of negroes to hold
offlceand to control our State
an 1 county offices in a n v
way. This ought not to be
tolerated by any party, be it
democrats, populist or re
publican. I am for white su
premacy and against negro
domination. Our State and
county government ought to
be administered by our best
men, regardless of political
offilhtions.
as to taking my stand on
the negro side of the question
is but a supposition otvours.
I stand upon the fundarnen
tal principles of Jeffersonian
democracy. I stand where
our fathers stood who fought
bled and died to free the A-
raencan people from the iron
grasp of English domination.
I stand for the rights and
privileges of the great Anglo
Saxon race.
