Stale Chairman Linney fell dowa before them in. surrender to their demands will hardly be denied by those who were present at the bearing before tne sun committee ef the 8enate judiciary eom mittee. To be fair with the people of North Carolina, the judiciary committee should make the testimony to the pub lic, for it would, prove most illumln ting reading. In fact, I hold it to be due to JJorth Carolina that it be made public, for if Mr. Linney is confirmed the people with whom, he is to deal should know, the pledges he has made under oath, as well as the pledges that were made over his signature by Mee kina-Holton-Grissom snd Company. Here ire -things I feel certain the tee tlmony sets forth. Did "Crwflh" Act. Linney did the ''crawfish" act in de aying the authorship of the letter sent out by 'the Republican state committee ott . his signature addressed . to the white women of North Carolina. He admits that he saw it before the elee tion and that he had given authority to sign his name to any document sent nut by the Bepubliean state committee, but he sidesteps as to the letter with , ai belief that there was no thought of eliminating the negro voter, but-th negro issue; that then was no in tentioa to deprive any legally qualified voter pf the ballot, 'And the ethers of the company swear by him in his ."thought"-JLd at the hearing Linney took pains to boast that he opposed on the stump the constitutional amendment of 1900 in North Carolina which dis fraaehiscd the ignorant 'voter, basing his opposition upon his belief that the amendment violated the fourteeenth nd fifteenth amendments to the Con titution. . . CUes Father's Speech Not alone does Sir. Iinney boast of his own fight against ridding the Bute ef negro domination, but he harks back to the record of his father, R. Z. Linney, boasting .to the committee that his father when in Congresa in 1901 do livered the adoption of aa act forcing Urging-the adoption of an aet forcing the South to let all the negroes vote, this speech calling for the strict en foreement ef the fourteenth amend ment. That he- favors aa educational qualification for all voters he says, and further that if the illiterate negro voters are to "be disfranchised he would also dismraaehis the illiterate white voters,'. thus doing away with the pre Visions, for voting given under the grandfather clause of the Intendment, Be denounced the men who in the days of stress In North Carolina, under the organization of Bed- Shirts, fighting for white"! supremacy in the campaign ef 1898, gave baer to the State a decent white government, and his denouncement of the white men who did this thing for North Carolina, was ta bitter words with purring notes in behalf of the negro. Not a word of the excessive sees of negro domination which had forced the white men ef the State to protect it in its hour ef supreme need. He admits that there was negro demi- oaJa-Korth Carolina, and tskea the position now that he belives th negro anouia i nave pouinu - mo pvnooai rights, " ' ": .-;.' - - " Xtpoite Correct .
