The judges tried TO abide by the printed
laws furnished for their guidance. and after
careful reading. IL was clearly opinion
that negroes and Republicans had right to
vote, and still believe it. They were only
permitted to vote after stating that they voted
Democratic ticket at last election and would
support the nominee of the primary.
No noise made about the white Re-
pubcans who voted for Mr.. Tnbuli, how
ever, I committed a great crime by inform
ing Henry Jackson, a well educated and most
respectable negro. that he had right TO vote.
] had not heard Of any expressions from
either of the candidates in reference to negroes
voting, and simply reminded Jackson Of his
right to vote, not knowing for whom he would
vote. and he voted an open ticket for Mr..
Watson.
As it was unusual for voters to vote twice
the same day. the judges did not regard 1t
wrong To call attention 10 the fact when they
