WHO j. j. MARSHALL Is.

Recently one J. j. Marshall sign
ing himself as Chairman Of the
Peoples Party township commit
tee of Vienna township, Forsyth
county, addressed an open letter to
Senator Butler. This open letter
was published with much ado, and
q great flourish of trumpets by all
~ tho rod shi~t o-r,~ {, - 49, c-~A~
Mr.. Marshall In his letter claimed
to be Chairman Of the Populist
Committee of his township and
claimed to speak for the Populists
of the township. He declared that
he, as Chairman. and that the rank
and file of the party endorsed Sim
mons baliot-box stutflng election
law, and also favored the disfran-
chisement scheme.
In another column is q letter
from Mr.: J. w. Spears, one OF the
most prominent Populists and one
of the most reliable and respected
citizens of Forsyth county, in which
he tells who Marshall is. He de.
clares that Marshall has no right
to speak for the Populists, and be.
sides, Is not himself a Populist
that he is simply tool in the
hands Of certain Democratic politi.
clans of Winston. The Chairman
Of the Peoples Party COMMITTEES
OF Vienna township is Mr.. J. A
Transom Of Pfafftown.
The fraud that Mr.. Marshall at.
tempted to perpstrate by claiming
to be township chairman is In
keeping with the ballot box stuff
ing methods of the Simmons ma
chine. Now will q single Demo
cratic paper in the State have thu
fairness and honesty to publish
these facts and let their readers
know who Marshall is? We will
see.

GORMAN ON BRYAN.

Just after the adjournment OF the
meeting OF the National Commit
tee in Washington, In which Cor
man succeeded in defeating Bry-
ans wishes and fixing the date Of
the Convention for July 4th, he gave
out the following interview:
am just as much opposed to the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan to-day as
was In 1896 He is the same man.
standIngon the same platform and
the same reasons against his NOM
ination apply with even more force
today than then. / do not think
his nomination would be wise and
I have not said that nothing can
prevent it. On the contrary, while
/ realize that he has the support OF
the people to remarkable degree
| believe his nomination could be
prevented il those who believe ii
unwise would get together and
unite their efforts. Every now and
hen / hear an influential man In
the Democratic party say that he
does not think we onght to nomi
nate Mr.. Bryan but that he does
not see how it can be prevented
The united action of people wht
feel that way can prevent it. MI
Mr.. Bryan has great many unwil
ling supporters"
The above shows the whole
SCH me that Mr.. German had II
mind when he managed to fix tn
date of the convention for July 4th
Notice that he says that he believe
the nomination of Bryan could b

advantage tolhim and his allies i

THE GREAT CRIM9 Ao INST FREE

See the article from the Wash
ington ID. c. Star In another col
umn on the Kentucky election law.
That law Is 80 odious In Kentucky
that many Democrats, including
Senator Blackburn, are demanding
It's repeal or amendment. No hon.

ded to be- Ex-senator George F
Edmunds. Even the redshirt or
gans In this State admit that he
stands at the head of the list. W hat

he says that section 5 Is clearly
unconstitutional, and he saws fur

A DEMOCR At STATES THE FACvs.

A DEMOCR At STATES THE EACFs. /
Congressman Underwood Of Ala
bama has offered q resolution In
Congress to repeal the 18th amend
ment to the Constitution OF the
United States. A few days ago he
made a speech In support OF his
re- olution. He began by stating
that he was in favor Of limiting
negro suffrage, but that 1t was per-
fectly clear that this could not be
done without at the same time linn
iting white suffrage to the same ex
tent, that Is, by the same qualifica-
lions, as long as the 10Th amend
ment stood. He stated that the
only honest, manly and safe course
to pursue on the part Of those who
favored limiting negro suffrage
was to repeal the 18th amendment.
He stated that attempted discrimi-
nation or a straight out-and-out
educational qualification would not
work. Continuing, he said:
Some may say you can accomplish
this fully by an educational quail
fl alton, but say you can not &C
complish the result in this way In
the South. l have known many
young negroes In the South who
could read and write az a parrot
can talk, who had no conception Of
the rights of others or the neces.
sity Of good government and prob
ably never will have. On the Other
hand, have known honest, law
abiding, property-holdiDg white
men, who have not had the ben
eits of an educati and could no
read and write, who understood thu
theory of our government as vel
as you or l, whose votes are abso
lutely above any price, and who ar
far more capable of exercising tn
right Of suffrage than many mel
who have had an education.
The above extracfs from Con
/. gresham Underwood's speech state
the position ju as THE CAUcAs
, IAN has frequently stated it. Tn
, negro child, parrot-like, can easil
learn to read and write; and whe
he can read and write it does nc
show that he possesses like quail
i fications with the white child VIII
can read and write. Besides, thol
|. sands of white boys and girls al
. forced to work in the fields to SUI
r port themselves and their father
, and mothers and are denied an o.
portunity to 60 to school, while tn
negro child always goes to schoo
: Besides, as Congressman Under
wood points out, und such educ'
tional qualification the town negl
a dude would not only vote, but tt
Z number of such voters would IL
a Increase each year more rapid
than the white votes, while man
o white voters would not be above
q to vote at all.

sUPPREssI NC THE TRUTH,

There are many voters In North
Carolina who to-day 70 doubt be-
lirv. that they have read full and
complete copy Of senator Moneys
speech In the Sen to on the prop s.
ed Constitutional Amendment But
they have not. They have been
fooled by one OF their own party
n wspap, rs. The Raleigh News &
Observer published what 1t claimed
to he the full speech OF Senator
Money Rut the News and Obser
yer suppressed that part Of the
speech which it did not want Its
readers to So.
When Sen tor Money, while de-
llvcring his speech. cited two au-
thorities one supreme Court de-
clsion and the other State decis-
lon, to prove that IL section was
unconstitutional the whole amend
ment would fall, Senator Butler
who sat near Senator Money when
he was delivering this speech,
asked permission OF Senator Mon
cy t. interrupt him. Having Sc
cured this permission, Senator But
Ter proceeded to call Senator Mon
ey's attention to the fact that the
authorities he had cited did not
apply to the case In point, and then
proceeded further to call his atten-
tlon to the fact that even II the two
authorities did a ply that there
Nere dozens Of authorities to the
contrary which would make the
overw helming weight Of authority
against Senator Moneys conten
ton. Senator Butler had q dozen
or more of these Supreme Court re-
ports piled upon his desk and star
ted to read from these decisions
when Sena'or Money objected Il
h wing citation from these decis
ions - Ls- ---~-.-I o.. -
Butler then stated that II Senator
Money objected to extracts from
those decisions going into hi
speech he certainly should permit
a citation of the names of the de
cisions to 60 In his speech 80 tina
those who read the speech ant
wanted to know the truth Nigh
look up the cases for themselves
Senator Butler then started to rea,
the names Of the cases and agail
senator Money obje ted to even tn
titles OF the cases going into hi
speech. Senator Butler then pre-
ceeded o say that II Senator Mon
ey was afraid for these decisions +
20 into his speech that he woul,
cite them all In a speech which b
would make later, AID that he In
viteA Senator Money or any othe
Senator to reply to those decision
or to cite authority to the contra
ry.
Now let the reader remembe
that all OF the above was publishe
In the congressional Record as
part OF Senator Moneys speech
But whe, the News and Observe
pretended to publish the speech
the editor Of that paper cut all tn,
matter out and did not even put
star or an explanation Of any SOL
In his paper to show that sue
matter was left out.
1t Is a bad cause that must
SUPP orted by such unfair method
indeed by suppressing the trut
and fooling the voters.

DEAR SIR: Ga the occasion of

R-dshirt Waddell of Wilmington and

they heard it was report d that Sem
ator Butler would PROBABLY come to
North Carolina with Mr.. Bryan,
that they telegraphed Mr. Bryan
saying it would not do for Senator
Butler to come with hlm,-that it
would cost the party ten thousand
votes, etc. I have looked in the
CAUCASIAN each week since then to
see some statement about the matter
and to learn the facts and the truth;
