To my mind, although it be in its infancy, the Constitutional Amendment is not and should not be a political question, for tress we have undergone for the two decades has been result of politics. To say th least, we have had too much politics in North Carolina. The present legislature of the is theoretically and practical a representative body represent log all classes and conditions, both white black, State and when Ibis grave question came lo the they submitted this amendment to the referendum so to speak.
