Curious among States is Rhode Island.
Although Il State with a complete or
ganizatioH, senators, etc, her vote is less
than one-third of that of the single city
of Philadelphia. Various other cities
are likewise stronger than Rhode Island.
4 fact that has drawn renewed atten-
ton to her suffrage laws is that at the
late election out of a male population of
10000 over twenty one years old, her
total vote was only 10000. Until 1910
she had no constitution, having con-
timed until that date under the old
colonial charter of 1868. Under the old
system the voters included only the
owners of real estate to the amount of
S13l, and their eldest sons. So far RS it
concerned natives this provision was
abrogated in 1s43, but in the case Of
aliens the real estate qualification was
continued. With the future develop
ment of our States, cities and towns,
the anomaly will become very singular
