White Supremacy clubs in the different
precincts of the township. He then call
| ed npsn Mr.. f. d. Winston to address the
| club.
Mr.. Winston spoke in very compliment
tary terms of Mr.. Jones and the able man
ner in which he had conducted the af-
| fairs of Wake County Democracy. He
| then explained the necessity for organi
cation, and told of the different depart
! ments of campaign work. When he spoke
| of the Registration Committee, he said:
| 1T is just here we may have trouble
understand that our Lieutenant Governor
who, at the last Legislature was so mild
calm, serene and sunny, has announced
that the aid of the Federal authorities
will be invoked. He should know there is
no law for this. But he seems to know
| less of the temper of the people of this
State than he does of the law governing
| the registration. This may be attributed
| to ignorance in both cases. In the last
| he has simply not read the law; in the
former instance, he is so blinded by his
zeal to secure office that he forgets the
| character of the citizens of this great
| State
Mr.. Winston spoke of the amount OF
work that had been done by the cl,ibs
| He said there are only nine counties N
| which there are no clubs Three of these
counties go Republican, and six go Demo-
cratic without clubs. There have been III
| clugs organized up to date.
