12pp. Caption title, as issued. Three punch-holes in blank margins, original staples as issued [a couple of leaves separating]. Ink marks in blank margins of first page. At head of title: "Please read carefully and hand to some intelligent friend." At foot of title: "NOT YET BUT SOON." Except as noted, Very Good. Favoring suffrage for women. Chief Justice Clark allays fears that women suffrage will enhance the political power of Negroes. "There are those who assert that in the South to allow the women to vote will bring out the negro women and overwhelm us. The truth is that in North Carolina the white population is 70% and the negro 30%, hence there are 50,000 more white women than all the negro men and negro women put together, and their admission to the suffrage could not possibly jeopardize White Supremacy." Unapologetically urging suppression of Black votes, Clark says, "Besides, if the white men are able to prevent the colored cook's husband from voting they ought to be able to prevent the cook from voting." The Chief Justice, a veteran of the Confederate Army, asserts, "I am a native North Carolinian, an Eastern North Carolinian, born and raised in Halifax County, just above here. I know your problem, and could advocate nothing that would jeopardize White Supremacy. Equal suffrage will strengthen it." The pamphlet was also printed in a 16-page edition. OCLC 910918065 [1- WI Hist Soc]. See Thornton 2288 for the 16-page printing.
