The Norfolk Landmark, in a we'll
considered editorial bearing upon con-
ditions in North Carolina. shows its
appreciation of the nature of the con-
test in this state between the real
friends of law and order and progress
and the tricksters and rascals who
seek to restore negro power in full
force, and TO return the white men
to savage rule, as Governor Russell
would describe 1t, and to the bitter
experiences Of the past We make a
quotation that reveals a correct I'M
Outstanding OF the actual conflict,
raging in our own state:
The white man is determined that
his vote shall not be thrown away by
being offset by that of an elector who
knows nothing of the responsibilities
of the franchise, and the white man
is equally determined that the once
necessary method of resisting this in
fuence by doubtful measures shall
not be perpetuated to the disadvant-
age of h intelligent and patriotic
voter. We wish the good people of
North Carolina success in their effort
to assert themselves, Just as we wish
success to every Caucasian people
which is held down by the weight of
the colored vote. We hope that Vir-
ginia will SOC have occasion to con-
graduate herself upon similar relief
from a state of affairs that has grown
intolerable."
