Description: Standing before the North Carolina House of Representatives, C.H. Johnson, leader of the Populist Party, delivered a speech regarding an amendment to the Election Law and stated that the Negro should not have gotten the vote, that whites were superior and that he hoped to see the day when "the Anglo-Saxon race will be supreme over all the earth." He was then questioned by Isaac Smith, the black Republican representative from Craven County, who pointed out that many from the Populist Party held office due to the Negro vote and that Johnson was showing ingratitude in offending them.
