The Easton Gazette has the follow
ing: Republicans are beginning to
realize that Congressional action may
be necessary to stop the wholesale dis
franchisement of voters in Southern
States. Senator Burrows, of Michi-
gan, who will be chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, said on the subject: "The
new Maryland ballot law is very likely
to bring to the attention of Congress
various so-called disfranchisement laws
and open up the whole question of rep
resentation in Congress on the basis of
men who are not voters under State
laws. Congress does not wish to dis
cuss this subject, but in my opinion,
the question will be forced upon us for
determination by the unwise action of
some of the States. We have now be-
tore us the example of q great State
endeavOring to disfranchise so, 900 citl-
zens in order to give one party politi-
cal control of the legislature. This is
not the excuse for the law. certain
Democrats seek to control the affairs
of the state and to accomplish this to
disfranchise sufficient number OF the
opposite party. 1t is nothing more
than this" AS Senator Burrows sees
it the question presents three phases:
The effect dlsfranchisement has on the
basis of representation in the lower
House; the propriety of accepting
Senators in Congress who have been
elected by legislatures elected after
large number of voters were disfran-
chised so that the Legislatures would
be favorable to certain men, and the
public policy of permitting political
parties to disfranchise large number
OF their opponents to MAINTAIN their
dominant position in the State"
