THE BILL PASSED.
Thousands DisiraacIlised by Law in Mary
i8rd


ANNAPOLIS, MD, March 20-The new
election bill. having for its object the
practical diSfra nChiSement of most OF the
$4,000 illiterate voters OF the State, passed
the Senate shortly after midday. 1t
was Immediately sent to the House, where
all the amendments made by the Senate
were concurred III and the bill passed.
1t is now ready for the Governors sigma
ture.
The most important change in existing
methods accomplished by the enactment
of the new law lies in deprving illiterate
voters of the assistance Of ballot clerks III
preparing their ballots. The arrangement
of the names has been altered SO that the
candidates for each office are grouped
and party emb!ems are abolished.
The effect OF the law is largely mat
ter of conjecture. The Democrats expect
that it viii disfranchise about $4,000
negroes and perhaps 10000 white voters
who cannot read or write.
With these out of the way it
is claimed the State will be safely
Democratic for years, and the immediate
result will be the election of a Demo-
cratic Legislature next fail, and OF
Democrat to :-ucceed United States Sena
tor Wellington in 1902.
The active interest taken by Senator
German in the passage of the bill leaves
no doubt of his candidacy for the Senator
ship.
