Savannah. Ga July 4. Former U S senator Thomas M Norwood writes an open letter debunking Hoke Smith’s call to disfranchise the negro. He argues constitutional and federal limits block any state or convention from removing rights, asserts the fifteenth amendment cannot be repealed without federal action, and defends Georgia’s primary as protection that keeps white influence dominant. He scorns talk of disfranchisement as dangerous rhetoric while urging caution amid political uproar.
