Now that Mr. Bryan has added the

conservative, but Mr.. Bryan is re-
garded as radical to degree. IL Is
necessary, therefore, to place him
upon a sound and plat

among those instructed for Mr..
Bryan who, while they will vote for

Objectionable heresies. such. for ex-

this is done, and good, strong and

Democracy ought to triumph. Taft
is unpopular with labor and with
the negroes who hold the balance OF
power in many of the States. Vir-

Bryan, but it can WELD a powerful

THE POLL TAX DECISION

The Norfolk Landmark, discussing
she poll tax decision, corrects some
errors in an article appearing in the
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. Among
Others, was a statement shat Section
Be OF the Constitution contained the
provision as to personal payment.
Oh course, this section. which refers
to the treasurer's lists, does not con
tain this word, but Sections 20 and
II, respectively, provide that no
person shall register or vote unless
he has personally paid, etc. 1t is
clear, therefore, that under Section
3S the treasurer, in making uD his
list, should only include those who
have personally" paid their poll
tax, as assessed by Law, because such
list is conclusive as to voting, and
unless the above were true. men
would be allowed to vote In viola
tion OF Section 81, which expressly
makes personal payment" IA pre-rc-
quisite.
The Court OF Appeals has, there
fore, In our humble Judgment, render
ed a most proper decision, holding
that the names OF no persons shall
appear on the treasurer's certified
lists unless such persons personally
paid" their poll tax or taxes. The
court decides this point absolutely. |
but leaves to some other time. when
the question is brought before it, the
definition oi,and decision as to what. !
constitutes a personal payment as
required by Sections 20 and 2l ofl
Article ?. AS TO this, the treasurers
In the meantime must use their own /
Judgment and a grain OF common /
sense.
