understand it. Those fayoring negro suffrage
have been trying to mystify the matter, but
there is no mystery about it. Every person
can read and understand it, particularly if he
will read the explanation oft by Hon Murray
Vandiver, which is published in the Supple
ment to this issue.
In November voters will have the amend
ment submitted to them on the official ballots,
with the words ''For the Amendment aud
Against the Amendment printed after IT.
A simple cross mark Y in the square fol
lowing "For the Amendment or Against
the Amendment, will record your views in
relation to it, just as you pat a cross marx
after the name of candidate for whom you
desire to vote.
The adoption of the amendment will deny
the privilege of voting to ignorant negroes,
who cannot read, or be able to understand
when read to them, any section of the Consti-
tuition. Men who were voters in 1863, can
register and vote next year, as under the
present Constitutional provision and regislra.
ton law. Sons and grandsons Of men who
were voters in 1869 can do the same.
The voting privilege was extended to ne
groes in 1870, by the provisions of the Federal
Constitution, proposed by Republican Con
gress and adoeted by carpet bag and bayonei
rule. The negro, not being voter in 1853,
will have 10 be able to read section Of the
Constitution, or. being unable to read, be able
10 give reasonable explanation OF when
read to him, before be can be registered.
Simply and plainly stated, vote for toe
Amendment is vote against ignorant negroes
having the privilege Of voting.
A vote against the Amendment Is a vote in
favor of all negroes voting.
If the amendment is defeated the negroes
will continue to vote, and worthless and g-
noraut negroes from the South viii flock to
Maryland, in order to have vote for sale at
Republican primaries aud at general elections
The matter Of negro suffrage must be de.
eided at the November election. 1t Is the
one opportunity to do SO, for it is not probable
the question will be presented again. There
fore, every voter should make up his mind
whether or not be desires negroes 10 vote, aud
mark his ballot accordingly.

Wellington Interviewed.

A staff correspondent of the Baltimore News
interviewed ex-senator George L. Wellington
a few days ago, aud most ofthe interview is re.
produced in the ADVOCATE. The Senator says
the Republican party of Maryland has too
many Generals and too few Prvates. Nc
Comas, he says, is dead. Bonaparte lacks
the elements of practical leadership, and there
is no real leader in sight.
Mr.. Wellington, the correspondent reports,
is not taking mach interest in the franchise
amendment, and he further says the people
west of the Blue Ridge are not much inter
ested in it, as there are few negroes in that

Compliment to Maryland.
From the Baltimore News.


MARYLAND is State in which the business
of grating does not flourish, and one proof is
that such cases of petty grating as the one
involving the public printing bill are promptly
exposed and measures taken to correct the
trouble. The chief officials Of Maryland, and
of Baltimore as well, are imbued with the
spirit of opposition to graft, which prevails
among all the people and they are able to pre-
vent it.
The above is not only compliment to Mary
land but a compliment, unconseiously paid by
the News, to Democratic honesty in the ad-
ministration of affairs. 1t was a slip, and the
negro suffragists must excuse the News. That
paper would not deliberately say one word in
favor of Democratic principles. policies or
practices. In mentioning fact it entirely
forgot that the absence of graft was due to
Democratic honesty and vigilance.

The Constitutional Amendments

The ADVOCATE began last week the publ
cation of the proclamation of Gov. Warfeld,
submitting to the voters of the State two pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution, passed
by the Legislature at the January session,
1904.
The first is the one affecting the voting
privilege, and the second permits State aid to
public road improvements. Under the pres
ent provision of the Constitution there was
doubt whether the Legislature had power to
aid such public improvements, and the pro-
posed amendment is to make that power def

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of our beloved son and
brother, JOHN T. ISGELs. who died August 10, 1904
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly
In his lonely silent grave.
One year has come and gone.
Since we were forced to part,
But time and space cannot effRce,
Thy memory from my heart.
BY HIS MOTHER
There are some that still will finger.
Near the spot where he is laid,
And will come and scatter flowers,
Ger the grave that death has made.
We cannot tell who next may fall,
Beneath thy Christening rod,
One must be first but let us all
Prepare to meet our God.
