Judge PeaTce on the
New Election Law.

Judge James Alfred Pearce has
filed written opinion in the ballot
case recently heard by him in Tai
bot county calculating more fully
the oral opinion be gave in dismiss
ing the petition of the complainant.
In the written opinion he sustains
the Talbot Election Supervisors in
every point and shows that the Tai
bot official ballots were in every par
ticular in strict conformity with the
law. Among other things Judge
Pearce says:
1T is apparent that while the law
does not make, or attempt TO make.
the inability TO read the test of the
right TO vote, il does not require the
voter, although unable to read, TO
acquire in some manner, before his
ballot can be counted, a sufficient
knowledge of and familiarity with
some one or more of the letters used
in printing the ballot to enable him
to mark the ballot in accordance with
his wishes That the presence in
many of the counties of this State of
large bodies of ignorant colored vo-
tiers, welded into solid mass by the
race instinct and too often controlled
by men intent upon nothing but the
acquisition of Office by themselves,
; from which they shrewdly exclude
their colored allies, is q menace to
the welfare and prosperity of these
communities intelligent and candid
men cannot deny, and justifies my
conviction that the Act of 1901, in so
far as it seeks by fair means to min
imize, as far as may be, the influence
of this ignorant and too generally
corrupt and purchasable vote, is
sound and iustifiable Legislation.
The constitutionality of the act was
not attacked in the argument, but If
it had been should not have hest
tated TO uphold it.
THE fundamental error in the ar
gument of the plaintiffs i'm this case
is found in the contention that be-
cause the law does not declare that
those who cannot read shall not vote
il follows that the ballot was design
