Sand Cure Debate Roils Senate Over North Carolina Voter Violence
In Washington May 2, the Senate heatedly debated a claim of a “sand cure” used by Democrats in North Carolina to intimidate Republican voters. Senator Pritchard accused Red Shirts of crushing faces in sand to silence cries, while Senator Simmons denied any such outrages and defended Red Shirts as a voter organization rather than violent actors. The Rosebud reservation bill and sundry civil bill were reviewed, and the House passed the anti conspiracy bill as well as a Cuba diplomatic and consular officer measure.
