Ti s Policy of Eis Administration
Clsariy and roroibly Defined,
A STATESMAN'S UTTERANCES,
At the inauguration of Governor Ay
vrock in Italeigh on January 15th, he
delivered ths f)Ilowing address :
G-uitietren of tbe General Assembly,
Ladles unl Fellow Citizens :
Evrry four yecrs brings us a change
o' adminisirfl'.lon but not alwaj's a
change of policy. Thi3 year wo meet
irder extraordinary circumstances-on
;iriy goes out of power and another
tomes in ; one pulley ends and a new
one begins; one century passes away
snd a new century claims our service ; a
iew constitution greats the new century.
For thirty years of the nineteenth cec-
nry we struggled in every way againet
the e?Is of a suffrage based on man
hood only. We found in the first-days
of that struggle that theory hid out
run practice and that reality had yielded
lilacs to sentiment. At that time 'we
had just emerged from an unsuccessful
A il disastrous war. Onr property had
ben swept away, our institutions had
baan destroyed, the foundation of our
social fabric had been overturned, we
were helpless. A victorious but un
generous political enemy had crushed
.13 to the earth ; they had forced upon

uew could not be reduced to success

lefeated. Ve"aec:ptad Ihesituation.'"'
Wo did oik best to prove the falsity of
nr convictions. v7e endeavored with
-U'.caiity to bring the negroes to areal
.zalion oi the true dignity of full citi
zenship.' We urgently strove to instill
:nto their minds that there true inier

5 rent sjlicitude and with much sari-:i-?3
of toil and capital to convince them
that p.uties were the servants and not

we spent ior our own children. W

schools f'r tlia education of their afflict
ol and for the cara and tuition of those

ho iace oi repeated evidence of their
uoitihty and abated noc our puprose
vhen they repeated their follies. We4
iii Lopei that they would follow the
xarnpie of the whites and divide their
vote along the lines ol governmental,
ndustrial and moral issues. The re
ads was a. disappointment. The negro
vas always to be counted upon and our
ppcuents did not hesitate at any ex--e-s
because they knew they had 120
000 voters who could be relieL upon to
rapport any policy howeverffruinous,

With this vote as a certainty our ad
versaries when they came to power af

than the song oi the mockingbird the
-creams of women fleeing from pursu
ing brutes closed the gates of our hearts
with a shoclc. Our opponents unmind
ful of the sturdy determination of our
people to have eats, good government
at all hazards became indifferent to or
incapable of enforcing law or j re ervlii ;

this ignorant mass ol negro voters the

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AM END
MEN r.
When the Legislature of 1599 mst it
was confronted with these facts and
was sincerely anxious to save the good
and suppress the evil of those forces
which had made our history. They,
therefore, submitted to the people for
their action an amendment to the con
stitution which forbids any man to vote
who cannot read and write, but excepts
from the operation of this respective
clause all those who could vote in any
State on January 1st, 1337 or at any
time prior thereto or who are descend
ed from any such yoter. This provis
ion excludes no while man except per
sons of foreign birth not yet familiar
with our institutions, and excludes no
negro who can read and write, and no
negro whether he can read and write
or not who could vote prior to Janu
ary 1st, 1867 or. who is descended from
one who could vote at any time prior
to said date. This amendment to our
constitution eliminates no capable ne
gro. Indeed it sets free those negroes
who, believing in certain principles ot
government, have been restrained by
loyalty to the mass Irom voting their
convictions. It does no injustice to the
aegro. It really benefitshim. It
Joes recognize the necessity for having
some test of capacity and it prescribes
two rules of evidence by which this
capacity may be ascertained and de
clares that any man capable of meeting
either test shall vote. If a white mii
.an read and write he can vole ; if a
aegro can read and write he can vote.
If a white man cannot read and write
but is descended from one who could
vote on January 1st, 1867, or at any
time prior thereto, or if be himself
.jould vote before that time, he can
yote. If a negro cannot read and
wite but ia descended from a person
who could vote on January 1st, 1SG7
or at any vime prior thereto, or if he
jould himself vote before that time, he
can vote. There is, therefore, in our
tmendtrf no taint ot that inequality
: ainst in the 15th amend-
"onstiSution of the United
States; and in order that the question
oiight not even be suggested and real
izing the importance of educating the
white and the black alike, our amend
ment requires every boy of whatever
color now 13 years of age to learn to
read and write under penalty of losing
his vote. Interpreted on this fashioo
ve may with complacency accept the
declaration of the republican national
olatform that our amendment is revo
utionary. So was the war for Inde
pendence distinctly known as tbe
revolution and our liberties are found
ed upon it. Our amendment may be
revolutionary but it is a revolution of
advancement. It takes no step back
ward, it distinctly looks to the future ;
it sees the day of universal suffrage but
ess that day not in the obscurity of
ignorance but in tbe light of universal
education. The twilight will grow
into the perfect day with the sun cf
intelligence shining in the sky. That
is our hope and promise. We shall
not fail.
1JETTEE. PUPLIO SCHOOL FACILI
TIES. On a hundred platforms, to half the
voters of tbe State, in the lat9 cam.
paign, I pledged the State, its strength,
its heart, its wealth, to universal edu
cation. I promised the illiterate poor
man bound to a life of toil and strug
gle and poverty that life should be
brighter for his boy and girl than it
had teen for him and the partner of
his sorrows and joys- I pledged the
wealth of the State to the education of
his children. Men of wealth,- repres
entatives of great corporations, applaud
ed eagerly my declaration. I then
realized that the strong dstdsro which
dominated me for tbe uplifting of the
whole people moved not only my heart
but was likewise the hope and aspir
ation of thOoe upon whom fortune had
smiled. I had loved the North Caro
lina people before that time but 1
never knew and appreciated the best
qualities of many of our citizens until
I saw the owners of man thousands at
eager for the w hole people as I was
myself. Then I "knew that the hope
a od task before u?, gentlemen of tne
legislature, was not an impossible one.
Wo are prospering as never before-our
wealth increases, our industries mul
tiply, our commerce extends and
among tho owners of this wealth, this
multiplying industry, this extending
commerce, I have found no man who
is unwilling to make the State stronger
and better by liberal aid to ihe cause
of education.
. Gentlemen of the general assembly,
yon will not have aught to fear when
you make ample provision for the edu
cation of the whole people. Rich and
poor alike are bound by promise and
necessity to approve your utmost ef
forts in this direction, 'ihe platforms

of all the parlies declare in favor of a
liberal policy towards the education ot
the masses ; notably the democratic
platform says, "we heartily commend
tho action of the genera! assembly ol
1899 for appropriating one hundred
thousand dollars for the benefit- of the
public schools of the State, and pledge
ourselves to increase tbe school fund
so as to make at least a four months
term eacbyearjin yery school district in
the State, and in the campaign which
was conducted throughout the Stale
with so much energy and earnestness
that platform pledge wa3 made the
basis of the promises which we all
made to the people. Poor and un
lettered men anxious about the
privileges of their children and hesi
tating to vote for tbe amendment were
finally persuaded to accept our prom
ise and place their children in a posi
tion in which thay can never vote un
less the pledges which we made are re
deemed to the fullest extent. For my
part I daclare to you that it shall be my
constant aim and effort during the
tour years that. I shall endeavor to
serve the reople of this State to re
deem this most solemn ot all our
pledges. If the taxes are required to
carry out this promise to the people,
more taxes must be levied. If prop
erty has escaped taxation theretofore
which ought to have been taxed,
means must be devised by whieh that
property can be reached and put upon
the tax list. I rejoice in prosperiiy ,
and take delight ia th9 material prog
ress of the State. I would cripple no in
dustries ; but I would hi' just and equal
laws require from every owner of prop
erty his just contribution, to the end
that all the children may secure the
right to select their servants. There
are many important matters which
will claim your attention. The prob
lems bafore os are of tbe gravest na
ture, but among them all there is
none that approach in importance the
necessity for making ample provision
for the education of the whole people.
UNIVERSAL EDUCATION,
Appropriations alone cannot remove
tiliieracy from our State. With the
appropriations must com"! also au in
creased interest in this cause which
shall not cease until every chiid can
read and write. The preachers, the
newspapers and the mothers of North
Carolina mast be unceasing in their
efforts to arouse the indifferent, and
compal by the force of public opinion
the attendance of every chill upon the
schools. It is easier to accomplish
this since the amendment to our con
stitution raises its solemn voice and de
clares that the child who arrives at age
after 1908 cannot share in the glorious
privilege of governing his State nor
participating m the policies of the na
tion unless he can read and write. This
is, therefore, the opportune moment
for a revival of educational interest
throughout the length and breaith of
tbe State. We shall not accomplish
this work in a day nor can it be done
by many speeches. It is a work of
years, to be done day by day with a full
realization of its importance and with
that anxious interest on our part which
will stimulate the careless an! will
make all our people eager to attain the
end which we seek. Our statesmen
have always favored the education of
the masse3, but heretofore interest in
the matter has not approached univer
sality ; henceforth in every home there
will be tbe knowledge that no child
can attain the true dignity of citizen
ship without learning at least to real
and writ 3. . This simple tact alone
justifies the adoption of the amend
ment tor it was its passage that first
brought home to ail onr people the ne
cessity for universal education. We
enter an era of industrial development.
Growth in that direction u dependent

in their first constituli ; ) .:.-;d li s
that time to the present our coa-siuu-tions
and legislative acts have .-.Si look
ed towards this end ; but U12 whol
people have never before bea awaken
ed to ii3 advocacy. From this time
forth opposition to education will
mark a man as opposed to the theory
of our government wiiich Is founded
upon the consent of the governed, and
our constitution proyides that this con
sent in the not distant future can be
given only by thos9 who 3an read and
write. Wo need have nothing to fear,
then, from any party or any politician
wEen we make ll' cr&i nrovfsiou for ed

commerce will expand ; our railroads
will do a larger business when we sha'l
haye educated all the children of the
State. . It is, therefore, of the utmost
importance from a material point ol
yiew that our whole people should be
educated. Care must bs taken on
your part, gentlemen of the legislature,
to bring the schools iu the remotest
districts up to the standard of the con
stitution which solemnly admonishes
you, as it did me but a moment ago
when I took the oath to support it,
that at teasl four months of school
must be carried on in every school dis
trict in each year. Our party platform
follows the constitution and we caunot
afford to violate either. If there are
distric.s which are weak they must be
strengthened by those who are strong.
The good book tells us tha ; the strong
should bear tbe infirmities ot the weak
and the lessons of that great authority
are of utility iu our political life.
mere nas grown up an idea among
strenuous inei that only the strong
arc to bo considered and benefitted ;
that the poor and the weak are the
burden bearers who deserve no aid and
are weak because cf their tollies. A
great State can never act on this theo
ry, but will always recognize that the
strong can care for themselves while
the true aim of the State is to provide
equal and just law3y giving to the weak
opportunity to grow strong and re
straining the powerful from oppressing
the less fortunate. It will be a glori
ous day for us if our people in the
hour of their prosperity and wonderful
growth and development can realize
that men can never grow higher and
better by rising on the weakness and
ignorance of their fellow3, but only by
aiding their lellow men and lifting
them to the same high plain which
they themselves occupy. It may re
quire sacrifice to accomplish the prom
ises which we have made and men
may be compelled to bear additonal
burdens, but I am psrsuaded that the
sacrifice will bo made and the burdens
borne with that cheerlulness wiiich has
ever characterized 113 when we were
doing a righteous thing. Our fathers
have done weli their work. They have
sought this day through many diill
cuities; illiterate or learned they have
ever striven to do their duty by the
state and they have laid Ler founda
tions so strong and deep that we have
but to build thereon the splendid
home which they only saw in antici
pation. Let that home bo brightened
with the shining of the 10,000 lights
emanating from as many tch; ols.
Some of these lights will shine but fee
bly, mayhap with but four candle pow
er, while others shall shine with sixty
four and some few with the radiance oi
a thousand, but let them all shine to
gether to brighten life and make the
stats more giorious and may they all
have as their source that God who
first said: "Let there be light." I
pledge you, gentlemen of the legisla
ture, such power as tne constitution
vests in tbe governor and all the en
ergy of my soul and heart to the edu
cation of the people, and I rely with
entire confidence upon you and the
promises which each of you has made.
With these promises kept there will
break upon us a day such has never
before dawned upon our state. Our
government is founded upon intelli
gence and virtue. We shall provide for
intelligence by a system of schools
which is designed to reach every citi
zen. The school looks to the prepara
tion of the voter for the use of the bal
lot. We adaiit to the elective fran
chise every man capable ot intelligent
ly exercL-ing that right and so auxious
are we to approach ag near as may be,
universal suffrage that we haye made
the test of intelligence, simply ability
to read and write, an accomplishment
which can be acquired in a few mouth 3.
A FAIR AND JUST ELECTION
LAW.
Having thus provided for tbe right
to voti the further duty devolves upou
you, gentlemen of the legislature, to
pass a law by which that right may be
mada t-if motive, a law by which every
voter qualified under our constitution
ana!i have the power to cast one vote
counted as cast. The safety of the
state and tbe liberty of the citizens de
pend up a action on this question,
fhe adoption of the amendment not
only furnishes the occasion, but ren
ders indispensable the adoption of an
election law which lihall be so fair that
no just man can oppose u and requires
an administration of that law in such
spirit that no man will doubt that the
popular will has been rightly express
ed and recorded. From the foundation
of our state to tbe day when the negro
was given the elective franchise tbe
fairnec-s oi our elections was never ques
tioned. Whwa tne ballot was given
to the negro tbe firs t election there
after was known to be a farce and a
fraud. That election was held under
military dictatorship, lasted three days

and the vote was counted in Charleston,
South Carolina. We have denounced
and ever will denounce that election
as fradnSetit. , When we oaaaa 10 pow
er in 1570 we changed tha election
law of the state an 1 from that time
down to iS9i all' elections were held
under law9 passed by us. Oir adver
saries charged that these elections were
carried by force and fraud. When tfcey
caaie to power. In 1893 they adopted
a law which we denounced as provid
ing means lor the registration and vot
ing of minors, dead, imported and con
victed negro3s. They carried ihe
state under that law in 1S9G. We beat
them in 18S8 despite their law and then
we passed a now election law which
they denounced as designed to thwart
the will of the people. We held tho
election ot 1900 under that law. By
the result of that election we hnve
eliminated the ignorant nsgro horn
those entitled to vote. If what has
bean charged by the opposing parties
be true and elections have been fraud
ulent and elections laws unfair eyer
since tbe negro came to be a power in
the state, it certainly ought to follow
that with the disqualification of the
ignorant negro the stale should return
to her ancient ways when no man
questioned her integrity. Ilenceiorlli
our laws and their adminstrutioa must
be so fair that the civilize! world shall
recognize the high purpose viilh which
we have wrought to see this day. Let
history record of us that we have fought
our great flbt and won our notable
victory with no view to perpetuate
ourselves iu power but honestly to se
cure good government founded on in
telligence worked out through a per
fectly fair election law administered as
a sacred trust to be held fcrever inviol
able. Good men go to var only for
tho sake of peace ad the patriotic cit
tizens of ourrtate have won llr.s vic
tory only for the sake ot good govern- j
merit and not for party aggrandize- j
ment.
Oa every platform in the late cam
paign I declared our purpose to bo tu
secure good government, s?.foty and
peace to educate all the children, and
to bring about thst day when even
axlremest partisanship should not be
able to ry out against our laws or our
methods. Thousands of republicans
und populist joined with 113 in secur
ing our more than sixty thousand ma
jority. I shall, therefore, confidently
expect you, gentlemen of tbe legisla
ture, without regard to party, o frame
an election law fair in every purpose,
clear in every detail, and to provide
machinery by which every man quali
fied under our constitution shall be
able to vote and shall know that bis
vote is effective. We can have safety,
security aud intergrity on no other ba
sis. I now pledge you the whole power
of my administration to secure this
end. I declared in my speech of ac
ceptance that I should enter upon the
discharge of my duties if elected with
great fear lest I should fail to inter
pret adequately the true spirit unaer
lyine our change in the constitution ;
but I ha"e never for one moment ques
tioned that the ultimate aim of our
people was to secure u constitution un
der which security for life, liberty and
property could D3 found undar tho
forms of law and not in violation of
them.
Our opponents have denounced the
movement which we inaugurated to
amend the constitution, aud which
will be carried out in the spirit just sug
gested, as revolutionary. They sought
to prevent its success by threats before
the election and in the first moments
of passionate disappointment after the
election thev began prosecutions
against certain officers of tne state
for alleged wrong doing in connection
with the August election. This move
ment of ours was carried out with
such deliberate high purpose and such
noble earnestness that thousands of
our political opponents joined Lands
with us in an effort to forever settle a
question which had distressed us for
thirty years. It was the uprising of
almost- an entire people. Tiitro was
about it, indeed, in its spontaocoos
ness, in its enthusiasm, in its determi
nation and sturdiness of purpose and
in its high aims, something of the
revolutionary spirit of 177G. That
