I Policy of Laying Low ancj Promoting Democratic Dissension to Prevail Until an Opportune Moment for Attacking the Constitutional Amendment Through the Grandfa thered' ;e-VThe Negro to Be Kept in the Back Ground Until a Favorable Decision is Obtained from the Fed eral Court. I Wahincton. July 2. Special. Chair man Simmons of the Democratic State Committee authorizes j tho following tatemcnt: ! 1 Tor some time past prominent North Carolina Republicans :in Washington bnve.hcen intimating that their party would control the next North Carolina legislature and that . Sepator Pritchard TrunM he returned to the Senate. Demo crat have been unable to understand the gronnds of this hope in the faee'of the fact that that party lot the State in the August election in lfHiO by about sixty thousand maj.-rityj and since that time ha lot. by the educational pro riion of the amendment, between sev enty and eighty thj;?aiil of Its former Titers. The persistency with which this claim was maae aroue" in my mind a suspi cion that it was based upon some secret scheme and led me to fin Investieation wf:h the view of ascertaining what it all meant. As a result i of this investi- gation. I hare discovered a shrewdly d?rie! and well developed conspiracy.. The ehcm briefly stated, is to stir tii and promote dissensions and inde je:idp:itim and. by raising the cry . that the amendment has eliminated fhe negro nd fred the white man. to bring about during the -early stages fcf the campaign a hopeless division 'among. Democrats, and then on the eve of the election have th Federal Court sot .aside the amend- inert. In thi enterpriser and In organis ing the nppnhhn forces.ftbe conspirators are to have unlimited- -itvooey furnished them by the National Jtepubllran Ex ecutive Comm.'tree upon the promise of two. If nt three. Republican Congress men from the State and the retention of the prfeur ItcpnbliVhn "Senator.' In onier b invite the DemneTats. every local dissatisfaction, every local quarrel, every fancieil complaint and grievance azninst the party and State administfa- tion. every disappointment growing ont of the nomination or defeat of candi date. is to be asslduorsfy nnrsed and fanned. Te Dcmocrae party Is to be charged wirh hostility to certain Inter est and with 'nominating men to ofllce , known to be prejndiccil against these interest, and' conservative voters are to b;- appealed to to resent this alleged as- , sanlt and to cast their votes againt thce objectionable candidates. It is ex-! the whole shall stand or fall together, every part. of the amendment is affected by this infirmity. The attack will be made upon the poll tax instead of the educational clause, to. avoid going into court with a negro ns complainant. . By reason of the shortness of the time, it will be ImpoiIble to get the case heaTd on appeal before the election, and. as the judgment will be effective nntil orerrnled on appeal, it is the expecta tion of the conspirators that the election will be held under the law. as thus de clared. If registrars refuse to recognize and act upon this decision, mandamuses will be Hsned by the .thousands, to be followed, if. necessary to carry ont the conspiracy, by Federal Court bench war rants. ' The negro, who is alwavs readr to poey tne oruers or ins party leaders, is to be kept quiet, but secretly organ ized and kept in readiness to rush to the polls when the time is ripe and the way Is clear. It is the calculation of the onspjTatOTS that with .one hundred of the articles of war, the court being convened on an order issued personally by the president. The court's findings,' therefore, go direct to the .president, for review, .not, as in. the Waller case, to General Chaffee. The charge was that General Smith, in giving "Instructions to Major Littleton W. T. Waller of the marine corps, who had been selected for the work of pacifying Samar, told-hnn to kill and burn and make a howling wilderness of the island" and that -when Major Waller asked . him. as. to the age limit for killing he replied: "Everything over ten." CHASED BY A MOB Coal Mine Deputy Has a Close Call for His Life Pittston, July 2. C. A. Brown or Wilkesbaxre, an' acting deputy ' at ' the William A. colliery at Connelfon, had a narrow escape with his life in an ex citing fight with a mob of 3(H) angry 4 Italians at Duryea, within one, mile this city, at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon. Brown left the stockade at the mine and started for a car to go to Wilkes barre.

The mob was soon between the deputy and the stock ade, and Brown realizing his perilous position, started on a run down the main street of Dnryea with a mob closely at his heels, shouting and pelting stones.

The police quickly rescued and twenty thonyind negro votes added ' their man before he had received any to the Republican and dissatisfied "Demo cratic voters, they will be able at. least to carry enough, counties to control the Legislature. - The Vonspirators have thoroughly dis cussed" in connection with this scheme the election law passed by the last Legis lature and are greatly enconraged and comforted in their enterprise by Its fair ness and the large representation it grves to the Opposition party. They expect, before their designs upon the amend ment are discovered, that " the county boards, registrars, judges of election, etc.. will have been appointed and organized. and that they will have secured on these boards all tho representation necessary to proterf their voters and to carry out their conspiracy. . This is the Republican scheme to cap tnre the State, and it is the basis of all i the predictions we hare heard recently of the re-election of the present Repnb-j licau enator. It is not a scheme merely in contemplation, but one which has been d:$cnse"d. matured and agreed upon. In asserting this. I speak not from con jecture, but from positive and reliable information. r Of course tho success .of this scheme required the utmost secrecy, and for this nted that the oppmitinn to J nd ge rea nn but few have been taken into ..i-.. - :n . . t :n .

Kvry detail to this md has Wen carefully arrange! and the con nirstor are confidrt ithere will be no hi:rh cr failnre or delay in carrying out th" projrnm at anv point. Between the lt and ir,th of October a white man, wh-- has len refuspilj reristration be canse h has failed to pay his poll tax, will apply to a Republican Federal judge, who has already been; select,tl. for a mandamus to compel ithe Tetritrar to adrn'.t him to registration. This.judce will hold that it is within the authority of the State to make thf payment of noil taT a condition precedent to the risrht to vote, bnt he will also hold that the grandfather clause is unconstitutional: anl, as the amendment provides that the inner circle. The lieutenants have been given to understand that the party chiefs have a big card" up their sleeves, which It is expected at the richt .ti le wilTbe played and sweep the deck. But so far the scheme is a secret to all ex cent the big leaders. The success of this scheme requires also the prostitu tion of th judiciary for purely partisan purposes, but Republican officialdom in North Carrllna is a close corporation, and this part of the program presents no practical difficulties. . I have felt it my duty to expose this conspiracy to take snap judgment against the white people of the State and bring them a train under the yoke of nesrro domination. Nerer did the old maxim, "forewarned, forearmed." apply with greater force. In the name of the white people of North Carolina I tell these connirat-Ts that never aga!n. under any circumstances, -will nejrro rule he per mitted to ex'st in North Carolina. White supremacy m not only wr:tten In the constitution, but it .is written in the hearts of the white people of the State.
