Republican for Amendment
Benjamin Stansbury, Hampstead,
Supports 1t.

Il am in favor of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment because / be-
lieve irrespective OF party fealty or
sentiment that It's adoption is the only
method open to the State OF MARYLAND
for checking the political injustice
done when the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution was adopt
ed" said Mr.. Stansbury, who practices
law In Baltimore and lives at Hamp-
stead, where he actively supports the
Republican candidates.
Experience has proved that the In
itial fear OF general negro uprising
on account OF the Fifteenth Federal
Amendment In sections where they 80
far outnumbered the white, was a
groundless fear. On the other hand,
the effect has been slow, but the result
very far-reaching and the conse-
quences unexpected Instead OF Inn
proving politically, the succeeding
generation has found out, through cor
rupting Influences. the power OF the
ballot, which power and knowledge,
| believe, has been a hinderance, rath-
er than a help TO the negroes as a
race. II is my honest conviction that
the passage Of this proposed amend
ment, and the consequent OF the az
tention of the negroes from political
channels, and getting their efforts To-
eused on their own industrial and
economic betterment. would prove 10
be more valuable 10 the negroes than
anything else they have ever received
from the State OF Maryland"

The Educational Test Is not for White
Voters.

The persisteney OF the opponents OF
tue amendment In misrepreBenting It's
meaning renders Il necessary for us
To reiterate the efact. which ia plain
To all who take the trouble 10 read Il !.
F1rRt-Thnt II the amendment Ia
ratified Il will deprive no white voter
In the State OF his vote.
Socond--That Il will deprlye mo
naturalized citizen nor the Descendant
OF a natnraiiZed citizen OF his vote
Third--That the educational test Is
Intended for colored voters only, and
no white voter now In the State will
be required 10 take H.
Fourth--That the qualification OF
owning $500 OF property IL Intended
only To apply To the colored voters in
this state. and not to any Esfite voter.
No white voter will IosesNs vote be-
cause he cannot read or write.
The opponents Of the amendment
have asserted that the Annapolis law,
which is somewhat similar In ita terms
TO the franchise amendment, has dis
franchised white voters. This Is not
true, and the statement has been made
by those who know or ought TO know
that II is not true.
There have been many assertions
In opposition papers that this or that
white man was unablBe to take the
educational test In the amendment.
II does not make any difference wheth-
CT they can stand that test OF not.
White voters will NOT be required to
stand II or take II, and those who are
making trials at II are simply wasting
their time.
President Taft understood the intent
OF the amendment, and he wrote let
ter In which he said
The amendment is deliberately
drawn to impose educational and 9th
er educational qualifications upon ne
groes and exempt everybody else from
such qualifications.
This is fair and true statement OF
the intent and effect OF the amendment
The opposition has been trying to get
away from 1t. but cannot. The very
terms Of the amendment show this
clearly
No white citizen In this State need
to fear TO vote for the amendment, for
II will make his right to vote even
safer than It IL now--Baltimore Sun.

NEGRO ELECTION OFFICERS.
Republican Organization Has 20 Col
ored Judges and Clerks In Baltimore.

The part that negroes play In Re-
publican politics in Baltimore, especial.
ly in the wards where the negro vote
is exceptionally heavy, Is shown by
the fact that 20 negroes have been
named by the Republican organization
as judges and clerks of election this
year AS such they also served as
registration officials.
In the Seventeenth ward there are
about 1000 more negro than white vot-
ers, and largely because OF this fact
the ward is represented by Harry
8. Cummings, coIored, In the First
Branch City Council.
Eighteen Of the election oficials OF
the ward are negroes. and in some
precincts the Republican party is ex-
clusively represented by negroes in
the polling places. In the Fifth ward
there is one negro judge Of election
and one negro clerk.
