Mr.. Aycoek says that if the amend

get an education before 1908, and

HIS PLEDaE.
GAS we understand it, Represen-
tative Reinhardt, In his campaign
in 1898, told his people, some Of
whom were afraid of disfr.nchise-
ment. that If he were elected he
would not vote for any measure the
purpose Of which was to disfran-
chise any man. As to the judi
ciousness of this pledge we have no.
hing to say, but Mr.. Reinhardt
made it and he was right in living
up to it. We had no sympathy
with the attacks made upon him at
the recently adjourned session Of
the legislature, and 10 honest man
sh0uld.-Charlotte Observer.
The above is true. Reinhardt in
the campaign of 1898 promised just
what every other Democratic can
didate and speaker did. Even
Chairman Simmons and the Demo-
cratic papers promised that the
Democrats, il given control of the
legislature they would not vote for
nything that would tend to dis
franchise any man. So if Rein
hardt is honest in keeping his
pledge, then all the other Demo-
cratic speakers and papers are dis
honest in not keeping their pledges.
Take the case.

AND ExTRAvGANCE
AS the voters Of the State already
know, the present Legislature not on-
ly made more grave blunders, bnt
also passed more unconstitutional
laws than any other legislature since
the foundation of the State.
But this is not all. The records
show that it has also outstripped all
others in excessive and extravagant
use of tho peoples money.
The official records show that du,
ring the last eighteen months of the
present Democratic government, up
to may 3lst 1900, there has been ap-
proprlated and misappropriated, the
enormous sum Of So, $40, 1865. This
Is an INCREASE over the expendi.

the proceeding corresponding eigh-
teen months of the preceding two
years of SOL, 235, 80. This is a sud
den increase of over thirty per cent;

islatnre, the present Democratic gov
eminent has spent and mispent S go

WHITE MEN IN 1892.
1t is fresh in the minds of ali the
farmers of this State that in the cleo
ton OF 1892 Simmons, who vas then
Chairman of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, sent out "secret
circular" the sole purpose of which
was to disfranchise thousands of yo
ters.
he endeavOred, by the use of his
secret circular, to prevent every man
who did not have his FULL name on
The registration books, from voting.
Let us illustrates: If n man N 1892
was registered John D. Brown, ne
would not have been pernttt.d to

bad been carried out; for SIMMONS

tended that the voter should have

That feature OF the amendment
which provides that every boy, IL
years old or under, must be able TO
read and write sitter 1908, will op-
crate to disfranchise Thousands OF
honest, poor boys, because these
boys, through no fault Of their own,
will not be able to obtain an educa-
ton. Every farmer and operative
In the factory will hesitate before
he will vote for an Infamous scheme
that will put his boy politically be-
meath the town "nigger" dude.
Suppose that the father, who
works in the factory, and whose
boys are compelled to work also,
should die. his sons would grow up
In ignorance because they would
have to work to make living, and
no opportunity would be afforded
for them to get an education. Is
there a father who would vote now
to put his boy In such position?
Is there a father who Is 80 lost to
q sense Of justice and righteous
ness that he would SO act and put
his sons greatest political privilege
In danger? Mr.. Aycock says that
white men will always be allowed
to vote because they "inherit" it.
If there be any force or truth In
this argument, then why do not all
white boys inherit the right to
vote after 1908"
| If the father "inherits" the right
to vote because he is white, then in
the name of common sense and
common honesty, why cannot the
father transmit to his son forever
the right to vote?
Fellow countrymen, freemen, this
amendment was not brought for
ward SOLELY for the purpose o
eliminating the negro from pol
tics, but to remove thousands 0
honest, independent, liberty-lovin,
white men, who will not obey thu
behest Of the Simmons machine.

to disfranchise white men, the,
