BALLOTS FOR BOTH [caption title]. An address by Chief Justice Walter Clark at Greenville, N. C., 8 December 1916 by CLARK, Walter - 1916

NP: np, 1916. One of two 1916 editions. 8vo. 12 pp. An appeal for support of women's suffrage, tinged with bigotries of the period: "There are 50,000 more white women than all the negro men and negro women put together. The admission of women to suffrage therefore could not possibly jeopardize White Supremacy, but would make it more secure." Clark (1846-1924), an 1864 graduate of UNC, served as an officer in the Confederate army during the Civil War, edited a 5-volume history of the state's regiments in that conflict, served on the N. C. Supreme court 1889-1924, the final 21 years as its Chief Justice. Original printed self-wrappers, stapled; marginal ink markings to paragraphs on first page, hole-punched in left margin, else very good.
