1t is thought probable ,l:at al
extra session Of the legislature v il
be called in M;;ryland ~ provide fo!
an educational test for the suffrage
The test proposed is that contained
IN the constitution Of Massachusetts
and Connecticut. AS fellows: Every
person shall BE able to read the
English language ana any article OF
the constitution Or any section Of
.ne statutes Of The State before being
admitted rs an eicctor. Similar
educational qualifications now pre-
vail in the two Northern States,
Mississippi Louisiana, North and
South Carolina. Three others, Ala.
bama, Georgia and Virginia have
taken the first steps towards provid-
ing such a test and if Maryland falls
into line there will probably soon be
ten States standing together on this
matter, If i. gains this added
strength it is likely that it will
spread further. In Maryland it will
give the rHjority assuredly 10 the
Democracy for many years 10 come,
as it is estimated that it viii! result
in DISTINGUISHING 81, 600 negro voters.
This safeguard should b. adopted in
every State in the Union. Ignoran.
voting is the greatest menace 10 oar

Now it is said that the Supreme

contrary to law. This will be a
