Dr. Cra en Believes The A
mendment Should be voted on
in a Non-Portisan Manner
And the Negro Elim-
inated from Politics.
Editors Progressive Farmer:- Some
time I was interviewed by a reporter
for the Charlotte News and to him I
said that I expected to support the
amendment, etc. His report was
yractically correct. I now propose
to give you the same, with a little
more of the same sort, as I take it.
While I realize that your paper is
not partisan, let me say this: I do
not feel that this matter is a Pupulist
affair, and our concern with, it is to
make the most out of it Wb can for
the best interest of the neoDle of
North Carolina as a whole. It ought
t i
not to make any material difference
with Populists, what political party
it helps or hurts. I am willing to
sink any political party with it, if by
so aomg 1 could do a great good for
the people of North Carolina.
The negro of course there are a
few individual exceptions is and has
always been an incompetent voter.
At the close of the war he was in his
best estate, as a citizen. Uuder the
compulsory training and discipline of
salvery for five or six generations,
he had become something of a citi
zen from habit, not from iiis nature
01 race instinct. During this servi
tude he had the best possible advan
tages for proper training as to good
citizenship, etc He had the best ex
amples of morality, honesty, thrift,
economy, etc., and -was compelled to
make properuse of those advantages,
thereby becoming, to an extent, im
bued with propea: notions and ideas
of manhood, patriotism, religion,
morality, etc.
Since the freedom all ' these helps
have to a great degree receded be
yond his reach,' as he is left out from
the direct influences flowing directly
from the personal interest of the for
mer master. f ;
The national ber.t, the racial ten
dency, of the negro is backward to
savagerv , cannibalism, etc., and with
out clo sest restraints, as salvery nec
essarily threw around aim, he easily
and. surely glides back into the old
ra rial nature, a state that the Cau
casian caunot tolerate. . .

five to ten enemies. If I cnuld
complish so much for my country I
would cheerfully yield the piivilege ,
of my ballot, and I think any other
sane man ought.
The franchise of the negro has
never been of profit to him. He
ought to know this himself; he can
not show wherein" it has ever helped
or added to his racial prosperity " oue
mite. It has been to him a delusion
and a snare.
Contracting - the franchise of a
country would ;it any time be danger
ous if this contraction were indis
criminate. But this is not the prop
osition. On the very face of this a.
mendment it only p-oposcs to elimi
nate the dangerous, vicious,1 fcutical
ly worthless element. To illustt ate:
If you have a barrel of potatoes a
part of which "are rotten, no one can
be hurt by anyone's throwiugout the
worthless or rotten ones. If your
own ranks are somewhat depleted
your emeny is to a great extent demol-
shed. Consequently no harm is
done your ability to cope with the com
mon enemy.
1 do not like the present election
law, and many other things politically
considered, but I see only good in
this constitutional amendment move.
I think with this trouble off hand, the
white people of the State will compel
the breeders of mischief to quit their
wrong doing to a, decree and allow
the real friends of good government
to get in some work.
As to the constitutionality of the a-
mendmeat, that is for Congress and
courts. But I do not disfranchise on
account of-color; previous condition
of servitude, etc., (except it was in A-
frica centuries ago) but on account of
what he now is, a menace to welfare
of country. W. P. Craven.

STATE III
The Journal is a Rcpubli
can Paper. Published
at Raleigh. We
Clip the Follow,
inz from It.
OUR COLOR.
The State Journal, after a short
suspension, is before the public a
gain.. We Lave decided to adrocate
the Amendment; believing it to be
for the best interest of North Caroli
na. We have fully surveyed the
gronnd and realize the tact that we
differ with many of our Republican
friends.,,. -
While the Republican State Con
vention has not yet assembled and
declared ajrainst the Amendment
we are jatisfied from present indicat
ions that it will do so, and wish we
could see our way clear to abide by
its dicision on this question.
As a Western Republican, we carce
to Raleigh In 1897 to accept a posi
tion under the fusion admlnistanioo.
We have had an opportunity to ob
serve and study eastern conditioos
and have become convinced that
there is something radically wrong
m the East. While the Amendment
may tot cure all our ills, it heads in
the right direction and will improve
present conditions.
As a We-long Republican, we take
this course, believing it to be for the
best inteiest of the white people of
North!. Carolina ar.d at the same
time will elevate and improve the ne
gro race. We take this position as a
Republican who has always snpport
ed the Republican ticket and expects
to continue to do so, and believe it
the duty of every true Republican in
the State to do the same. We want
to see conditioos such that men can
meet each other on the stump as gen
tlemen and dircuss principles and the
great economical; educational and
other interests of the State. This
can never be done east of Charlotte
until the black cloud of the East is re
moved. -
From now till election we shall bat
tle f or j what we believe is right, re
gardless of the consequences. This
U a;queation"th"at sohuld be above
party. Settle the question of white
supremacy in XVrth Carolina first re
move the danger and then battle for
white Republican rule y
..Wc.shaU continue to support the
Republican ticket and defend Repub
lican principles, but on the race ques
tion we propose to stand by our own
race.
The Western voter has no" con-
vcpviua 01 iasiern COnaiUOOS. SUCn
things as Democracy and Republi
pocai pnnapies are not
d.scussed, considered or thought oL

cordingly. The white man will never
consider any other question until the
danger of negro domination is icraov
ed-There are no politics in the East.
except white and negro politics.
The wisest course for the Repub-
lican State Convention to pursue
would be to silently pass over the A
mendment question and arraign the
menl of State affairs, its false pledges
deception and reckless revolutionary
lion enacted by .he U Ce,K,
al Assembly. By this course they could
carry ir xegisiaiure and possibly c-
I .
licet the State ticket.

There may or may not be fraud in
the East, bet there is ooe thirg cer
tain; if the while man caooot ou.
vote the negro he mill out count him.
The white man, especial! the Anglo
Saxon race was made to rule and be
is going to do it, and wt tad JuU it
well accept the facts as they are and
remove ill causes and excuses tar
fraud.
The question is col asUd ia Ext
ern North Carolina, are you a Dem
ocrat or Republican? it is, are yo j a

white people do not know vhat Re

ent conditions exist.
Looking back to tie days of Abt
a m m m m
nam Lincoln and coming down to
the present time, should not the tegTt
be satisfied with what he has recti red
at the hands of the KcpnUkaa party?
Is it not enough to satisfy any race
of people with ordinary gratitude?
When asked why we support the
amendment, we answer freely and
proudly, because it m disfranchise
the negTO voters, and lhertby create
Intelligent htte Republicaa vocers.
