easy.
The Washington Times, (Deln.)
The members of the North Caro-
lima delegation in Congress are re-
ceiving great deal of mail, and
answering a great many questions
about the meeting of the Democratic
State Committee. which will be held
at Raleigh on December II
The principal matter to come up
for consideration before that COM
mittee will be the constitutional
amendment which, it is alleged, is
designed to disfranchise many thous-
ands of colored voters.
The amendment WAS framed by
the North Carolina Legislature at
its last session, but has not been
submitted to the people. 1t was the
belief of the Democrats at the time
the amendment was framed that it
would receive the support of the
Populist, but in this, it is said, the
Democrats have been disappointed,
the Populists in large measure
having joined with the Republicans
in opposition to the amendment.
One of the leading Democratic dallies
in the State au,agouizes the measure
and it is said that several local Dem.
ocratic leaders in the western coun-
ties have assumed hostile attitude.
The Republicans say that thousands
of white Democrats, especially among
the illiterstes of the western coun.
ties, will vote against the amend.
