1t shall be my highest and I'M

favor or affection in respect to

The evils of bribery in its vari-
Gus forms at elections are, in my
judgment, the most serious with
which we have to deal. No effort
should be spared to stamp out
this species of corruption.
l desire. in the next place, to
specifically emphasize the strong
necessity for "a law which Will
afford the fullest and freest OPP
portunity to the people of the
whole state to express by direct

of candidates for elective offices.
Another high and momentous
obligation which the election by
which the people called us to Of

elimination of the illiterate and
irresponsible negro voters rom
the electorate OF the state.

and safeguard the suffrage in the hands
of our white citizens, both native and
naturalized. and to avoid the objections
which were urged by democrats TO the
suffrage amendment proposed in 1904 and
rejected by the people in 1905. In respect
to the objections to'the amendment last
proposed, / beg to recall that it was al
legged by many democrats that the meas
ure failed to protect the suffrage rights
of our foreign-born citizens. vested and
underlined. and arbitrary discretion in the
registration officers, failed to expressly
furnish a remedy in the courts for any
abuse in its administration. and was
wanting in definite provisions respecting
the character and quantity of proof re-
quired to establish the right of the citizen
to register. These objections. together.
possibly. with one or two others of sub
sidiary Importance. should be met in any
draft of a proposed amendment which the
general assembly may submit to the peo-
pie in conformance with the pledge Of the
democratic party on the subject and in
obedience to the mandate of the people
delivered unequivocally in the state cleo
tlonS of 1903 and 1907. 1t IS for us now
to bow to the peoples will upon this SUBJ
Ject, and to obey their sovereign bidding
Let us execute unfiinchingly the purpose
of the democratic pledge by all lawful and
constitutional means to maintain the po-
ntlcal supremacy of the white race in
Maryland. Let us not fail or falter with
this pledge. Let it be carried firmly and
fearlessly into effect. so that our state
may be rid of the negro voter as a politi-
cal factor and an element of power within
our borders. To accomplish this it will
of course. be necessary for three ffths Of
the members of each branch of the gem
eral assembly to agree upon an amend
ment to the state constitution and to sub
nit the same to the people, and it is my
confident belief that e an amendment is
framed as proposed. in accordance with
the terms of our pledge as above indicat-
ed. it will be triumphantly approved by
an overwhelming majority of our people
at the polls.

The Election Laws.

One of the gratifying results of the
adoption of such a constitutional amend
ment would be the probability, amounting
practically to a certainty. of an ensu-
ing change in the election laws of the
state, by which we would dispense with
features which they now contain, solely
for the purpose of restricting. as far as
is now feasible. the evils of the large
body of illiterate and unrefectinp negro
voters in Maryland. These provisions
have, unfortunately. entailed much in
convenience to many of our white voters
and it will be a welcome state of affairs
when the illiterate negro vote is so
minimiZed that the features of our cleo
ton law in question may be safely dis
pensed with In the meantime there are
some features of the present law which
in respect to those sections of the state
where the negro vote is not dangerously
large. may well be modified The pro-
vision that a slight extension of the cross
mark beyond the side of the square upon
the ballot shall invalidate the ballot
should be modified so as to prevent the
rejection of ballots in the count to the
extent which has existed in the recent
elections. In Baltimore city better con-
veniences should be provided for mark
ing the ballot than now exist and other
notifications indicated as desirable by
puPhc opinion through the enlightened
press of the state might be safely made
at this juncture.
