Unices we mistake the temper of the people of Noth Carolina they wiil rebuke this most scandalous breach of faith, and stamp out 'his second attempt to nullify the nation al 0 rstitution.

This cannot be without the existence of separate political organizations. This election law, and the prop 39 id cuiiatitiitional amendment, control-l-d solely by one political party, woi'ld destroy forevor the possibility cf fie i x stenco of more than one pel 1 iical party in the State of North (,'arolni, This necessarily resuRs from i.h'1 control of tbe election mnehii 'iry by one party.

In South Carolina 58,689 votes weie given in ail s ven congressional dis t'i' tp, and only 7,475 votes given for the Republican ticket. Trese figures show that there is practi cally only one political organiz ition in the Sttttja of South Carolina and Mil's ssippi.
