amendment to the state constitution
received an immense ma Ority, more
than nine-tenths OF the voters giving
it their approval. According to the
latest returns there were Al ,O05 ayes
and only 1850 noes. Every town in the
state voted in the affirmative. The
amendment provides that Every per-
sou shs1 be able to read in the En-
glish language any article of the con
stitution or any section Of the statutes
of this state before being admitted an
elector." Heretofore electors in Con-
necticut have been required only to
read in their own language, ard a test
of those who all ged that they could
read in Russian, Turkish, BIZ emian or
Polish was necessarily difficult. A
considerable knowledge of the English
language will hereafter be essential
in the Connecticut voter. The era
when political questions could be de-
cided in that commonwealth by men
totally ignorant of the language OF the
country has gone by.
