Organized for Work.

The Executive Committee appointed by
Central Committee, met at The Rennert, Bal
timore, on Wednesday, and elected ExGov.
Z. Z. jackson, chairman. The other mem
bers are Ex. Governors Frank Brown and John
Walter Smith, Gen. L. Victor Baughman,
Frank A. Furst, Congressman Talbot, James
r. Wheeler, S. S. Field, Henry Keidel, Col
Buchanan Schley, Hon. Joshua w. Miles, W.
Mitchell, W. Cook Sanderson, Henry Clark,
John j. Hoffman, J. Lewis Cough and Oliver
l.. Rhodes.
The committee is particularly strong and
will have their own headquarters at The
Rennert Work will be begun at once, and
prosecuted with vigor. While the interest of
the State and Legislative tickets will be looked
after, the supreme efforts of the committee
will be directed toward carrying the franchise
amendment.
1t would be well for the committee to or
ganize the business men of Baltimore in behalf
of the amendment. Baltimore merchants
want Southern trade. Theatre parties and
excursions down the Chesapeake for visiting
merchants are well enough, but movement
for white supremacy would have a far greater
effect upon the South. With the Baltimore
press either favoring negro suffrage or silent,
the impression is going abroad that Baltimore
is either Indifferent to white supremacy or
actually favorable to keeping The negro in the
electorate The Southern people have prac-
tically eliminated the negro as political
factor. They would like an endorsement of
their action by similar action in Maryland.

Think About It
Frnm the oecn nemocral-

from tlle NRcA HeiHtlfAA
Are you in favor OF the negro having the
/ right TO vote
That is the sole question contained in the
proposed suffrage Amendment.
If you want the negro TO have the privilege
Of walking ap to the polls With you and exer.
eising juss as much political power-theR vote
against the Amendment, and you will con.
tinue 10 enjoy youi degradation.
Ii you are OF the opinion that after forty
years of freedom and thirty i've years Of vot-
ing privilege. during which lime the Stale OF
Maryland-that is the white people Of the
State-haye spent many hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars upon his education. the negro
Is qualified 10 exercise the right of suffrage
then vote against Amendment, and continue
him in mis- sngzisl privilege as your equal.
IT yon tSSiiilk. that after all that has been
done for him he is q worthy and eminentiy
desirable social aud political element, then
encourage him by voting to continue his priv-
ileges.
If. on the other hand you do not want the
negro to have the right TO walk up to the polls
with you and kill your vote with his-rofs
FOR he 4B,e,idmenf.
II you think that he is ignorant of the prin.
eiples Of government. does not understand
what he is voting for, but simply iha: he is TO
vote the Republican ticket that be pays no
tax and should not have the right 10 say how
or by whom your money shall be expended
then vote for the Amendment.
If you believe that the negro at present con.
stItutes menace TO society, IS indoleni, inso-
lent aud altogether undesirable, and that the
political privileges now accorded him in this
State will have tendency to increase the
number and make them more impudent and
disagreeable then rote fer the amendment and
put check upon it..
If you believe that this is aud should be a
white mans State, that the time has come
when the negro should be forced to the rear
and that his political power should be cur.
tailed-then pote for the amendment.
In short, if you are opposed to the negro
voting. help to stop him by voting for the
Amendment. Do more than that, talk for it
and get others to vote for it, and help Mary
land to put the negro in his place and keep
him there-and that place is not equal to
yours or alongside of You at the ballot box.

No More Negroes for Army.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE Government
does not want any more negro soldiers, and
has 50 advised the country, The only way a
negro can get into the army from now on is in
the event of war, and that at present is a re.
mote possibility.
For several years large number of negroes
have been enlisted. and all the regiments of
cavalry and infantry are full, aud no more are
wanted, according to the special notification
received by the local recruiting officers here
The order received is from Captain George
stations in this district, and is direct from the
War Department.

win the News Answer 2

The Baltimore News of Wednesday had an
editorial on the Amendment. The basis oi
its opposition TO the measure is that il is OPP
posed TO the elimination of the negro from
the body OF voters. That is known to all lis
readers. But it processes to give other rea-
sons One is thai it viii put in jeopardy the
voting privilege of persons, ''bora and IA
born," coming of age after 1906, whether Of
native or foreign-born parentage.
Well, suppose, for sake of argument, son
born of native parentage becomes of age in
1907 or after. What is the use ofspending mil.
lions to educate the people if they cannot ex-
plain any section of the Constitution when
grown to manhood ? What are the primary.
graded, high schools and colleges for If not to
give public education
In great cities, generally, and in Baltimore,
attendance at school between certain ages is
compulsory. Where parents are Indifferent
the law steps in and requires children to go
to school. Of foreign pareniage and native.
The State owes the people nothing, except
protection of life, liberty and property. 1t
has been thought wise and prudent to estab-
lish and maintain a system Of public educa
ton. Government will not rise above its
souree-the people. The government viii be
good or bad as the people are intelligent or
ignorant.
After this policy has been pursued for forty
years, at least, has not the State a right to
have an intelligent electorate No one. not
even the News, viii dispute this This being
granted how would the intelligence Of apph-
cants for registration be discovered? The
ability to read is not always proof. A per
son may be able to read, but not always to
understand. It's understanding that indicates
intelligence.
A certificate from a school teacher that the
applicant for registration had attended school
a specified period would not do. A boy has
several in the course of study, going from
grade to grade, and principals and assistants
are frequently changing.
The News does not believe in an educa.
tiona qualification, or processes not to. 1t
says if the purpose is 10 get rid of the negro
vote. 90 at it straight Well that is the pur
purpose. And now let it tell its readers how
it can be done. Let it frame and publish an
amendment that would accomplish that pur-
pose and not conflict with the Federal Con
stitution aud not disfranchise white men.
The proposed amendment is designed to
disfranchise every negro possible and to allow
every white man, native and foreign, to vote,
and thus maintain and continue white supre-
macy.
That was the meaning of the election of
1908, when the Democratic State ticket re-
ceived more than 1900 majority and more
than three-6fths ofboth branches ofthe Legis.
tnre was made Democratic.
Now let the News show the Democrats of
Maryland and the Republicans who voted
with them the way to carry out the verdict of
1908.

Now for the Whole Ticket and the
Amendment.

The Democrats of Baltimore held primaries
J last Monday. Unusual interest was manifest
ed. Some candidates were chosen by direct
vote; Others will be nominated by conventions.
and ward executives, constituting the City
Committee. were also chosen by direct vote.
There were some surprises. and Of course
some disappointments, but no uniairness.
All unsuccessful candidates must now submit
to the verdict Of the majority and work with
zeal, energy and enthusiasm for the whole
ticket
The local conventions viii soon be held
and the State convention will be held next
Thursday. The whole preliminary to the
campaign will have been completed, and wig.
orous work should be begun aud kept up until
the polls close on November :.
The same interest, the same energy put into
the campaign as characterized the primaries
and the whole ticket viii be elected in Bali.
more aud a good majority given for the pro.
posed amendment and white supremacy.
The Democracy of the counties will render
q good account of themselves. There is some
discord in several counties, but there Is also
some discord in Republican ranks.
