ALL STAND ALIKE.

Hence if it is constitutional to
enact that there shall be an Off
cial ballot aud that it shall have
a party emblem printed upon it at
the top of each of the columns
containing the names of the party
candidates, it aS>uredly cannot
be unconstitutional to omit such
enblems altogether.
If it be constitutional to print
the names OF the candidates in
parallel columns. giving TO each
party separate column. it surely
cannot be unconstitutional to print
i'll one and the same column or in
two columns. if necessary, the
names OF several candidates ar.
ranged alphabetically or other
wise under the designated offices
for which they are candidates.
Ii 1t was constitutional between
1867 and 1890 TO make no pro-
vision at all for the preparation
J of the ba lots, but to leave that
TO political organizations or TO
the individual voter without
State aid, and to leave the voter
without amy legal means whatever
to assist him i'll reaching the polls
and i'll preparing and casting his
1 ballot, and ii it was constitutional
between 1890 and 1900 TO provide
! clerks who were to aid voters
when called Oh in marking their
ballots and thus destroy the
secrecy of their ballots. surely it
cannot be unconstitutional now to
enact that hereafter all voters
shall tndtheir way umaided to
the polls and shall there in the
voting booths mark their ballots
themselves without assistance
and thus insure absolute secrecy.
There is no hardship or Unequal
ity in this. 1t applies to all
voters alike, without distinction
or discrimination.
1t does moi deprive any regis
tered voter of his legal right to
vote. 1t does not abridge the
right OF any registered voter.
Every voter will still have the
absolute right to 80 to the polls
as now aud to mark his ballot
there and deposit it i'll the ballot
box ii he sees tit.
Hence it is difficult to under.
stand how law that requires a
voter to know the names of the
candidates for whom he wishes to
/ vote and to know how TO prepare
his ballot can be contrary TO our
Constitution, which leaves the
Legislature absolutely tree to
regulate the mode and method of
voting as 1t shall deem eXpedieut
and which, as the representative
Of the sovereignty OF the people,
possesses all legislative power
not clearly denied to it in the
Constitution, either by express
terms OF 10y necessary implication.
There is, therefore, III my opin.
ion, 10 valid constitutional Oh
lection to the proposed amend
ments TO our election law, and
maniiestly the sooner 50 etfectual
d check upon bribery, ilhteracy
and fraud Is put upon our statute
book the better it VIII be for the
freedom and purity of our cleo

POE ON NEW ALlO
LAW.
Says it is Constitutional, Wig,
orously Defends it and Calls
it Just and Fair.

Hon. John Prentiss Poe. ex-
Acknowledgement of Mary land
and one of the highest author
tiles on constitutional law in the
State, has written a letter to the
Sun in which he explains the
new ballot law proposed for en-
actment at the extra session of
the Legislature and defends its
constitutionality. He says it is
just and fair and is demanded
by the eXigencies of the situation:
The letter in full, follows:
hesSrS. Editors:
Our present law requires the
official ballot 10 contain the names
of the candidates in separate col
umns with party emblem at the
head OF each column. 1t also
provides that the election clerks
may be called on to aid voters
who cannot read in marking their
ballots. The proposed changes
are:
First. TO require the Super
vi>orS of Elections to cause the
official ballots to be printed with
out party emblemS and without
separate and distinctive columns
for each party'S candidates.
Second. To require the voter
to put his cross mark opposite
the name Of each candidate for
whom he desires to vote.
Third. To authorize assistance
to be given by the clerks only to
registered voters who are bin d
or who from loss Of their hands
are unable to mark theil ballots
without aid.

fore, no violation of the fifteenth
amendment to our Federal Con.
stitutiOn.
They do not touch in any way
whatever the qualifications of

of Article l Of our State ConSti-
tuition, as modified by the ff.

well known, gave the rjght to
vote to rhjte adult males only.
but the fifteenth amendment nee.
eSSary struck out the word
"White," and accordingly since
1870 every duly registered adult
male, whether white or colored.
has been entitled to vote in Mary.
land
The proposed amendment does
not contemplate any alteration
of the present method of regis
terlng adult males, both white
and colorrd, who possess the
qualifications prescribed by our
State Constitution and the fiji
teenth amendment.
Nor does it make or suggest
the slightest change in or viola
ton OF the provisions of either
Federal or State Constitution
relating to the qualifications of
voters.
Every qualified adult male.
whether white or colored, is TO
continue to be entitled to be REG
lStered as now provided, and be.

registered.

The only changes proposed are
in the method Of printing and
marking the official ballot and
in requiring voters to mark their
ballots themselves without aSsis-
lance from the clerks of election.
except as to the blind and phys.
ically disabled.
NOT IN CONFLICT WITH CONSTR
TUITION.
These changes IRE not at all in
conflict arjH the letter or spirit Of
the Constitution.
The Constitution contains no
provisions or directions as to the
mode of voting, except that it
shall be by ballot.
1t says nothing as to the form,
size, color or description of the
ballot.
Nor whether the ballot shall
be furnished to the voter by 40.
liticaI organizations or by the
State, or be provided by the
voter himself.
Nor whether it shall be printed
or written.
Nor whether it may be partly
written or partly printed.
Nor in what order the names
Of the candidates snail be arrang-
ed and printed on the ballot.
Nor whether the ballot shall
have a pictorial party emblem
upon it, or whether it shall be
without any picture or illustra
tion whatever.
Nor whether it shall be marked
before being deposited in the bal.
lot box or shall be deposited
without being marked.
Nor how, when deposited, the
ballots, shall be counted and the

THE NEW APPOINTMENTS.

The appointments made by the new
City Council at their special meeting last
night have given general satisfaction 10
both parties, TO the Democrats as well
as to the Republicans. The men named
for important positions OF city service are
all good men,-who will do the Republi-
can party credit, and men who will con-
slider a party honor. public trust The
election in all the departments Of city
government from the city collector and
treasurer to the city commissioner, mar
ket master and patrolmen, meets with
general approval.
The election of Mr.. Samuel Jones as
collector and treasurer of the city is par
excellence. Mr.. Jones is a business man
of honesty and integrity, and worthy OF
the citys trust and confidence. The
position OF city treasurer is a most re-
sponsible one, but it is safe in the hands
OF a man like Samuel Jones who has the
respect and honor OF the entire commu-
nifty regardless of politics.
All OF the officers elected last night are
along this line and are men who will give
general satisfaction. Their selection re-
fleets credit alike on Mayor Dubois who
will doubtless give general satisfaction as
the city's chief executive. and will direct
municipal affairs with an eye single to the
city's best interest. as we'll as upon the
appointing power he represents.

the Academy from Maryland. He passed

rejection on account OF his physical
characteristics. He was considerable
more than six feet in height and weighed
but o5 pounds. Senator McComas, who
beiriended him in his dire extremity
found that young Turner'S father, hale,
hearty and robust man, was of similar
physique in his youth and there was
every reason to believe that the naval
cadet would develop into a strong man.
