wife and children against him. in some cases

church will publicly abuse him and tell him that
he VIII have no hope of heaven. All this be-
cause he desires 10 exercise his constitutional
right OF selecting his own candidate
II he has sufficient moral courage to withstand
these attacks. he must procure the assistance OF
some white man in whom he has confidence to
see that he gets the right ticket and to protect
him until he can deposit it, otherwise it would
be taken from him
