Wiley A. Harman on the Amendment.
Editor Democrat:
My attention has been call.
ed to An editorial III your pa
per that says: "The propos-
ed constitutional amendment
will not disfranchise any
white man, he he ever so illit
crate"
Now, J wish to call atten.
tion to the fact that Sec. 4
saws: every person present
ing himself for registra ton
shall be able to read any
section of the Constitution in
the English language" If
Sec. 4 does not mean any
thing, why is it in there? Do
not put such stuff in print to
mislead the people. 1t is full
of deception. There never has
been in the history of the
State of North Carolina such
an Infamous crime commit.
ted by any Legislature.
Sec. 4 qualities every man
for registration. If you can't
read and write, sir, you can't
vote. Some ignorant white
men will vote for the propos
ed amendment under the i'm
preston that the 5th section
Of it will protect them from
disfranchisenent. This bogus
section is a snare and n fraud
upon them. After 1908 every
white man in the State who
cannot read and write will be
disfranchiSed under section
S. This | cay without t h e
fear of successful contradic
tion..Was it for the good of
State that this Internal thing
was set up in Raleigh? Was
it to free the people from ne
gro domination. No. If it is
adopted it will intrench the
democratic party in unlimit
power.
Is the grandfather clause
to the amendment unconsti
tutional? Here is what the
18th amendment to the Con
stitution Of the United States
says: The right of the clti
zen of the United States to
vote shall not be- denied or
abridged by tho U. s. or by
any State on account of race
color or former condition OF
servitude." Hence it il plain
to any man that the grandfa
ther clause of the amendment
is unconstitutional.
Again, our Legislature that
passed the constitutional a.
mendment recognized t h e
fact that it would be n diff.
cult measure to pass; that it
could not rely upon the white
men of the State, who are in
vast majority, to give it the
rquired vote is proved by the
passage of our election law
that placed all the election
machinery of the Staten the
hands OF five men appointed
by a biased Legislature.
In conclusion | will say that
I am not in favor of the Con-
stitutional amendment, how
ever | am no Office seeker, nei
ther am | al aspirant for
the Office of brandy gauger.
