Assembly Constitutional Amendment
No. g. relative to right of suffrage
The amendment was debated at length
| by Bledsoe, Clark, Murphy, Sturtevant,
Martin, Dibble and Galbraith.
Mr.. Galbraith said: After an expert
ence of twenty years in the schools and
colleges of this country, if had the power
to impose a restriction upon the right of
franchise, would place property quail
fication upon that right, rather than an
educational one, because the man who
has property is interested in the legisla-
ton of the country and he will be careful
how he exercises his suffrage privilege.
| Where you show me one man who cannot
read and write who is dangerous to the
institutions Of this country, l will show
you twenty who can read and write who
are individually far more dangerous.
| [Great applause.1 That is my opinion.
Mr.. Bledsoe moved caA of the House,
which motion prevailed. The roll was
| called and but one member being absent
| without leave, on motion of Mr.. Dibble,

Renfro, Hail and Galbraith.
Mr.. Hail said: l am the editor of a little
newspaper, and 1 believe in the liberty of
the press. But do not believe that dur
ing the progress of trial the press should
be privileged to make all kinds of attacks

the decision of that court and jury. But
after the trial is concluded l believe
newspaper or any person should have
perfect liberty to criticize the action of the
court and jury. [Applause.l
