Z Raleigh, n. c., June 4.-The North
Carolina delegation to Congress natur-
ally takes much interest in the resolu-
tion, affecting Southern representation
In Congress, which Is intended to act
as a. scarecrow to brighten the, timid or
thouehtless.
1t is generally believed to be especial
~ designed for campaign purposes in
the State this summer. Mr.. Kluttz, re-
spending to an inquiry by The Morning
Post correspondent, though much hur-
FLED with business in the House. said:
In my opinion the resolution report
ed by senator Chandler. which is but n
re-Vamp of the Pritchard and Hoar res
olution. amounts practically to nothing
except as harmless campaign thunder.
1t Is calculated and designed only as
an excuse for instItuting a partisan in
vestigation, the results of which, it is
horcd. can be utilized for campaign
purposes
SO far as the proposed constitutional
amendment in North Carolina is con-
cerncd. 1t Is in no wise affected by this
resolution. North Carolina does not
propose to confer the right TO vote up
on any of Its citizens because of their
descent from certain persons or classes
OF persons nor does 1t exclude other
citizen because they are not descended
from such persons or classes of per-
SON."
Nor Is the amendment capable of any
such construction. 1t enables certain
persons to vote because they are de-
seconded from persons who could vote
prior to 1867, but excludes no one be-
cause he is not so descended. 1t IS an
enabling act, and the Chandler rcsolu-
lion is mere brutem-f ulmen. 1t is
doubtless inspired by Senator Pritch-
ard certainly 1t is the outcome of the
resolution introduced ny him, in the
vain hope that it may deter the people
OF North Carolina from voting for the
amendment for fear some thing terrible
may happen. The people of North Caro-
lima are too intelligent and patriotic
to be fooled or frightened by any such
means"
