The representatives of the democracy of
Bladensburg district. In primary meeting
assembled. voice the sentiment OF all dem
ocrats in Prince George county when we
declare that the paramount issue IN the
campaign OF 1903 was the declaration MADE
in the party platform. That our political
destinies should be shaped and controlled
by the white people of the state.
Upon that issue Edwin Warfield and the
other state officers were triumphantly
ffths of all the members of the general as
sembly. Faithful to the trust imposed in
them, every democrat in the senate and
house of delegates voted for an amendment
to the constitution. which we heartily APP
prove and for which we invoke the support
of all who desire to prevent this state from
being coloniZed by the ignorant negro, who
has been denied the right of suffrage in the
District OF Columbia and by the states
south of US The enforcement of similar
provisions in the states of Virginia and
North Carolina has demonstrated Its fair
ness and efficiency
It's adoption by this state will prevent
the influx of ignorant and vicious negroes
ard secure the untrammeled right of the
white men of the state to control its affairs.
and thus give opportunity for the increased
welfare and, above all, greater security to
the social order of the commonwealth
The convention Monday will make no
nominations. but will adjourn after select
ing five delegates to represent the county
in the state convention. and adopting reso
lutions tndorsing Governor Warfield's add
ministration and the so-called Poe amend
