A DK9UL THAT DOES MOT DKMT.
Last Sanday'i Newa and Observer
contains a card from Hon C. B. Ay
cock, Democratic candidate for Gov
emor, in which he at last pretends
to deny what the M-rning Post quo
ted him the first dy of last March as
saying at Sqow Hill, that is, that he
wanted to be elected by lawful
means if he could, but if not that be
was determined to be elected by
fraud or force! It will be remem
bered that the Pust farther quoted
that he boasted that the Democratic
Machine had In the past ruled by
force and it could do it again.
The whole State was shocked at
this audacious and lawless utterance
from the hps of a candidate for the
high office of Governor of a gnat
State composed of Christian and law
abiding citizens. The Caucasian
was loath to believe it was possible
for Mr. Aycock to have given utter
ance to such shocking words as this.
Week after week The Caucasian
stated that it did not wish to believe
it and called up n Mr. Aycock for a
denial. Nearly four months have
passed aDd it was only last Sunday
that be made the people an ineffec
tual (Sort at denial. It seems clear
that Mr. Aycock'must have stated
practica'ly what the Post reported
him as sayiBg. It stems that Mr.
Aycock thought, when he made that
speech, that he bad appealed suffi
ciently to the passions and prejudi
ces of the people and gotten them
so excited tbat they would not resent
such shocking utterances, even from
the lips of a candidate for the high
office of Governor. And it now seem1
that he has waked up to the fact that
the people condemn such revolution
ary, lawless and incendiary utteran
ces. Hence the belated denial which
does not deny.
As to further evidences to the fact
that Mr. Aycock did use such ex
pressions and that he still is holdiog
to the same lawless designs, we call
attention to the report of Mr. Ay
c ck's speech at Statesville on last
Saturday, as published in the Char
the tax-payer I lotte Observer Sunday morning, in
serted in quotation points. The re
porter for the Charlotte Observer re
ports Mr. Aycock as saying, "If we
can not prevent it by ballot, we will
prevent it by force." What does tni

Mr. Aycock says that he Is op

mon and the whole ballot stuffing

to organize and fasten upon the
people of the State the most odious
and dangerous political trust the
State ever saw. An industrial
trust may rob you of some dollars
and cents by high prices, etc., but a
political trust strikes at the very
government. It robs you of your
liberties, which is more dear than
all the filthy lucre in the world,
besides the only power that the
citizen has with which to fight the
industrial trust is his ballot. There
fore when Mr. Simmons and Ay
cock, by means of their political
trust, robs the poor man of his
ballot, his hands are tied so that
anybody and everybody may rob

liberty while he stands helpless.

hWK.ARI JiG TO GET OFFICE.
Mr. Aycock has realized that the
people do not believe what he has
been saying about the amendment
not disfranchising any white man,
s.i he has gone to swearing about it.
Why, Mr. Aycock is a good Christian
ana as eucn nis word ougnt to be as
g od as his bond or sworn state'
mnt. Ha said once that if the
people woulo vote for Cleveland and
he did not give free silver, he would
leave the Democratic party. Cleve
iana whs eiectea ana aid not give
tree silver. Aycock did not leav
the Democratic party. In 1898, Ay
cock said, and he would have sworn
to it, that the Democrats If the;
carried the election, would not sub
mit the pr. sent amendment. But
they did. Wbat went with Aycock's
word and Pen's oatbf He is swear
mg to get people to vote for. him.
While he is swearing it will not du
franchise any white man, the Lum-
berton (Democratic) Kobegonian, is
saying editorially, that Mr. Aycock
is mistaken ; for "every boy in the
State now thirteen years old has, of
course, eight years until he is
twenty-one years of age. That
year, 1908, the amendment to the
constitution, which will then be the
law, will say to him unless you have
learned to read and write you can
not vote."'

at the treatment of their candidate

The outrage was committed not on

The above admits that the poll
tax feature will diefrancuise white
men. And a little further on, the
Mascot says men who do not pay
poll tax should not be allowed to
vote (meaning by the 1st of March.)
Here is a case where the Mascot
admits tbat the amendment will
disfranchise white men and they
oueht to be disfranchised while
the Mascot's candidate for Governor
is going around pretending to swear
that "no white man" will be diafran
cnised under it. Pot' swore that no

ADOTHXI ATTEMPT TO FOOL TBI
raoPLK.
When that wise lawyer legisla
ture of 1899 submitted the amend
ment, all other lawyers who hoped
for pie, said It waa constitutional
and that the fifth and fourth
tlona must stand or fall together.
The Democratic convention, in all
its wisdom, endorsed the amend
ment as it was, and made IT the
only issue. They nominated a state
ticket and the candidates each
endorsed the amendment as the
only issue and declared it was per
fect. These candidates proceeded
at once and canvassed the State
and taught the people that It was
constitutional and that If the fifth
section is declared unconstitutional
the whole will fall. These candi
dates and the Democratic speakers
and papers reported every day that
the people were endorsing It, and
that at least 75,000 majority of the
people white people had endors
ed it and had decided to vote for it,
and that it was gaining recruits
every day. Notwithstanding all
this, yet when the "iump" legisla
ture met last week it changed that
perfect (!) legal document. They
made several changes. They put
put the 4th and 5th sections togeth
er, so that if one falls, both will bv
rfure to fall as they claim. And for
fear the court would not
know how to construe - it,
they added the following section,
instructing the Supreme Court how
to render its decision -
(Sections) That this Amendment
to the Constitution is presented and
adopted as one indivisible plan for the
regulation ol tne sullrage, with the in
tent and purpo e to so connect the dif
ferent parts, and to make them s de
pendent upon each oth r, ihat the
whole shall stand or fall together.
Now as regards to the Legislature
instructing the court, we will say that
is a usurpation of its powers, and is al
so a violation of the State constitution.
For by reference to section 12, Article
4, of the State constitution, we find tbe
following :
"The General Assembly shall have
no power to deprive the Judiciary De
partment oi anj power or jurisdiction
wDich rightly belongs to it as a co or
dinate department of the government. '
If the Legislature can do as they
have said, then we can't see why tr
Legislature could not interpret and
pass upon all its laws and do as a gen
tlejnan paid they came to do on tbe
12th. viz : ,4To abolish the Supreme
Court "
In Bank vs. Dudley (2 Peters. 492),
decision rendered in 1829. Chirf Jus
tice Marshall rendered the decision of
the court in that case, in whirh ho
aaid:
"If any parts of an act be unonsti
tutiooal, the provisions of tbat part
may be disregarded, while full effect
will be given to such as are not repug
nant to, the Constitution of tbe United
States or to the ordinance of 1787."

and change their election law and
amendment with tbe hope of fool
ing the people in the country. The
session, from first to last, was a
regular burlesque on civilization
and below the dignity of a tentb-
rate-old field school debating club.
There were some good men, but
they either feared the bosses, or re
alizedthat they were greatly in tbe
minority. It was depicted on their
faces, and in their sighs.
In another column we publish
what they did. They railroaded
through twenty bills and ten reso
lutions. Six or seven of them were
correcting their mistakes of 1899,
and one the laws of 1895. They
passed four dispensary and prohi
bition laws. At least seven of the
twenty bills enacted were for pie.
Two or three were to take pie from
some Republican. Thev only en
acted one law in favor of public
schools, and Senator Smith and oth
ers voted against it, because there
were no political significance in it.
In fact they said repeatedly thai

Then Isaac Smith, who doubtless
had been prompted, arose and
spoke to the great applause of the
lawyers and Democrats. lie said
many things be had no right to
say. He said negroes helped to
elect Populists to office, and hence
bad no right to say they should

which was offered in the Senate,
was to correct their Journal in ref

ter of Kinston which passed the
wise session of 1899. It seems they
wanted the right to issue bonds and
they could not sell the bonds, be
cause the Senate Journal was very
