I feel that I am voicing the predominant sentiment. not only of the Democracy of North Carolina. but of the entire South. and representing herbest interests regardless of political considerations whenj I appeal to you. gentlemen. to join us in the enactment of some measure to meet this impending danger. I shall not stop to discuss the question as to what specific character of legislation would be most effective to that end. It might be done by a head tax or an educational test or in some of the other ways that have been suggested. Perhaps all of thes6 restrictions could be applied with beneficial results. What needs to be accomplished. however. is t6 arouse Congress and the country to a full consciousness of the fact that something should and must be done. and the .remedy can easily be found.
