Adoption of the Amendment Means
White Supremacy, No Matter
Which Party Wins.

The Sentinel's effort to show inconsistency
upon the part of The ADVOCATE in regard to
the franchise amendment was the result Of a
misconception. Should the amendment be
adopted, the commonly called grandfather
clause will enable every white man 10 regis
Ter in 1906 who voted in 1869 or prior upon
merely establishing the fact. aud every son
and grandson of such white man can register
and vote.
The negro, not having been a voter IN 1869,
will have to read and give reasonable expla-
nation of section of the Constitutions, or give
such explanation when read to him, before he
can register next year.
In 1907 and thereafter every voter will have
to be able to give a reasonable explanation OF
a section of the Constitution before he can
Register.
In 1906 ninety-n nine out of every one hun
dred white men will be able to register and
vote because his father or grandfather voted IN
this or some other State in the Union IN 1863
or prior. Two-thirds of the Negroes will not
be able to pass the educational test The re-
suit. therefore, so far as judgment can guage
it. one white man out of hundred will have
TO pass the educational test, and sixty six on
of every hundred negroes will not be qualified
to register.
To make it plaiuer-one 'chite man in a
hundred may possibly fail to give reasonable
explanation of a section of the Constitution o.
MARYLAND. Sirty si1 negroes in every one
hundred is reasonably sure to fail.
For few years-no one can predict how
loug-the Democrats will have full domination
of public affairs in Maryland, Just as the party
has had since 1867, with the exception of foul
years. But suppose that in time the Repub
The Democratic advocate., 1905-10-07

lican party grows stronger, from any cause,
aud should succeed to power, ice lcould hare
a ichite mans g0UerrmeRt.
The supremacy of the white people in the
affairs of Maryland is the object Of the amend
ment
The talk about entreuching Mr.. German
and Mr.. Raisin in power is simply nonsensical
aud absurd, aud every ne'oSpdper that so talks
kno1cs it, Mr.. Raisin is y years old and Mr..
German &C. No one pretendS, not even the
negro suffrage organs. that the passage of the
amendment will prolong the lives of either
Democrats or Republicans.
After 1906 should the Democrats retain
control of the Legislature there will be no new
registration of voters for some years, so that
white people who register next year will not
have to register again for certainly ten years.
There was an entire new registration in Mary
land in 1882, aud the next was in 1896, after
period of fourteen years. Next year is ten
years after the last registration, and the next,
should the Democrats retain control OF the
Legislature, will not be before 1916.
Thus, white men who register next year
will be secure in the voting privilege for ten
or more years.

Dear Sir: The easiest business in this
world is dry.goodS; the reason is your Gus
toners want your stuff as much as you want to
sell it; they eome-in; you show it aud sell 1t.
That's the whole business, except your buy

Devoe comes next. It saves money, and
people like money. They like somebody
else's more than their own; they like to make

perhaps as well as TO make IL.

paint is the same Devoe is the means Of

The Sentinel should refresh its memory on
''The Glorious Nineteen" Instead of their
efforts proving failure the amendments to
the Constitution in 1887 is ample proof to the
contrary. They stood for popular govern
ment, like the present Committee of Nineteen
stands for popular government of white men.

lively fight between Postmaster Butt
anu former postmaster, Samuel l..
Burroughs. on the ferry wharf in
Portsmouth this morning.
Both Postmaster Butt and Former
Postmaster Burroughs were coming
to Norfolk and met on the fcrryboat
just as the steamer was about To leave
the Portsmouth side of the river for
Norfolk.
Only = few words passed between
the two men before the blows began
To fell thick and fast.
Mr.. Burroughs is said to have come
ont of the scrap with black eye and
somewhat bloody. Mr.. Butt is sail
to have lost no blood.
The fight was the outgrowth of
political trouble, which is ALLEGED to
have its origin in things said about
Butt by Burroughs, jenkins and
others
