Are Permitted to Vote in Any Democratic

Wlnfcton-Sideiu, Jf. 0., April 11.
V
.. Writing to ft gntlnuui in Kslrigh with refwwic to tha rt
port that certain Diwto were inducing or wniiittinK ungrotm
to register as PemooinU in order to Vote in the Perooorstio primary,
Hou. A. II. EIW, of JrYiMtpn-flalem, Ouirmin of the Stato lhnu-
' or-ratio Kxerutire (Committee, wrote the following letter:
' IWr Sir:
Apropos the municipal eWfltkmi being held in Ralyigh ami
other town and citiea of the State it haa been suggested to mo that
in tho real of randidatea or their f rienda nogroe hare been encour
aged or permitted to jregiater or to taks part in. that municipal pri
maries of tlie Democratic party. I trust thia in not the raws in Raleigh.
The spirit, aa well aa the letter of the plan of organization of
the Democratic prty of North rarolba, is that none Hut Demo
crat dull take port in a Democratic Ptime-rr. While there may
be now and then a negTO who ia a Democrat, yet in my judgment
it ia tho duty of the primary officers to prevent the participation of
negroes in Democratic primaries. I am advined that, before I was
elected Chairman of tho Bute Democ ratio Executive Committee, a
rule wa adopted by the Jtemooratio Bute ExecutiTe Committee bj
which the primaries of the Democratic- party were declared opoa
only to wWu Democrats.
The Democratic party of North Carolina did not accomplish
White Supremacy to this State for great and far-reaching purposes
with the thought that any Democrats, no matter how great their
r.esl, would fritter away this great achievement in an VfTort to influ
ence some local contest over effice. It is not only the duty of our
primary election officers, but it is the duty of all Democrats U see
to it that none but DemocraU take part, and that iu Democrat le
allowed to feel that he ha either been elected or defeated by negro
vote".
Any Democrat who permits, aids or encourages
a negro to register or to take part in any Democratic
primary, is an enemy to the Democratic party. The
man who doe it is trying to destroy White Suprema
cy in the house of its friends.
Let Chairman Eller's
rule be adhered to in every
