women will not be in jeopardy every
hour.
I'VE must retain the control of local
affairs, particularly in the counties. in
white hands, else your county and mine
will be uninhabitable.
"And want to see the women of
Maryland rise up in their might and
fight for the ratification of this amend
ment for the elimination Of the criminal,
superstitious, idle and ignorant class
from pernicious activity in politics,
which means more to the white women
of Maryland than to any other class.
"You know in this county that before
you white taxpayers can say who shall
levy and collect your taxas, or who
shall distribute your funds, or who shall
represent the county's interests at An
napolis and safeguard her welfare that
on the morning of election day you are
met by more than 1000 negro votes.
"You know you must poll 1900 white
votes to cancel these unthinking black
votes, and that 1900 white men in this
county are virtually disfranchised be-
cause their voting strength is necessary
to counterbalance the makeweight Of
the colored vote.
Each of your 600 white Republicans
in Wicomico virtually casts on an aver
age three votes at every election-his
own and two negro votes.
mo one can say that is fair; and of
all partisan political results it seems to
me the most heinous for each white Re-
publican to boast and use three times
the voting influence of each Democrat
in Wicomico and Worcester County
elections.
"And l want to close with this predic-
tion: That our great metropolis, Balti-
more city, will, stand by the counties in
this hour of need and be one with them
for the ratification of this amendment
which wilIafter November I'd. insure the
destinies of Maryland for all time in the
keeping of men able to appreciate the
blessings and responsibilities of citizen
ship and determined to faithfully dis
charge their obligations without coer-
cion. guided by the light of reason and
love of their country's welfare"
The speech made by Senator Smith is
conceded to be the best speech in behalf
of the amendment heard in this section
of the State.
The night meeting was attended by a
crowd of enthusiastic voters. Many out
of-town folk remained over for the even
ing meeting. Mr.. James E. Ellegood
presided and delivered a forceful address
in behalf of the amendment and the
local ticket. Among other things Mr..
Ellegood said he did not support the
Poe amendment, but had given consider
able study to the proposed measure and
as lawyer he found that every white
mans right of franchise was assured.
He then introduced Comptroller Herring.

The Worcester Ballot.

These are the days when we hear the
Republicans crying aloud about fake
tickets, trick ballots, etc. From all the
Wilson ballot law counties the cry has
been heard this year. The Democratic
party has always been opposed to what
is called the Australian ballot law and
believes in the kind of ballot used thirty
or forty years ago when a man could
make out his ticket at home and vote
Tor whom he pleased and in such manner
as he desired; but the Republicans and
so-called Independents of Baltimore
were not satisfied until they forced the
Australian ballot law upon the people
of this State and then attempted to get
control of affairs by making voters as
sistants, whereby the assistant could
see that the bought vote was properly
delivered. Immediately after the
Lowndes' administration the Democrats
had this part of the law repealed. but
the fact remains that the Republican
party is responsible for the immense
ballots that are now being voted in this
State, and for all of the ingenuity
brought to bear to make it possible to
vote such ticket.
A howl has gone up from this county
that the ballot was not properly adopted.
The full Board of Supervisors, the coun-
sci to the Board and at least one other
person were present when the ballot was
adopted and it was adopted OH the same
day as has been the custom for the past
ten or fifteen years. All the tickets
presented would be acknowledged as
good, clean ballots without a semblance
of trickery, and on election day it will
be seen that there are no distinguishing
lines and that it will be no trouble to
vote the ticket. Precaution, however.
has been taken to prevent repetition
of the doings of last fall when sample
ticket was obtained by Republican brib-
cry and every negro in the county had
sample of the official ballot before the
Democrats even knew what it was.
We do not believe it will be the case
this year. All of this talk about man
damuses and court proceedings is done
to affect the public but the public is wise
enough to understand that when the Re-
publican party was in power in the
State of Maryland it used bayonettes
to keep white Democrats from voting,
and now they care more for the negro
than they do for the white voter.

SEN. SMITHS
GREAT SPEECH.
Addressed Immense Audience In
Salisbury Last Saturday
Afternoon.

United States Senator John Walter
Smith, Governor Crothers and Comp
troller Herring addressed an immense
assemblage of Democrats in Salisbury
last Saturday. Senator Smith said /:
II want to bring you good news from
Baltimore city. Unless all signs fail,
Il. 0o0 white men in the city of Baltimore
who fought the Poe amendment four
years ago are heart and soul with us for
the present amendment.
'Ten days ago had the honor to ad-
dress meeting, with Senator Rayner,
at the Princess Theatre. The tremend-
GUS audience was made up largely of
foreign born voters, and more atten-
tive, appreciative and enthusiastic
audience have never faced, with every
man there for the amendment.
"And while they needed no conversa-
tion themselves, they were anxious to
hear and learn and secure facts and argu-
ments to combat the persistent and
systematic misstatements made by Re-
publican speakers and Republican papers
about the amendment.
"And things were said at that meet
ing the Republicans cannot explain away
cannot contradict.
murray vandiver paid me the COM
pliment of publishing my remarks in
The SUN in full. and while said moth
ing novel, nothing new, nothing in
genious, the plain-spoken truths ! told
have confounded the Republican hosts.
1--WE have been spending somewhere in
the neighborhood of 1886, 600 year on
negro education in Maryland. Last
year you people of Wicomico spent over
So, 200 on colored schools, and we in Wor-
cester got hit little harder and spent
over Sc. 900 on them.
"But in spite of all we have done and
all we can do, the negro has remained
with us several hundred years an unas-
simulated, shiftless mass, with more
than one-third of the race as benighted
and ignorant as their forefathers were
in Africa.
"Mr. George r. Gather and that late
distinguished member of Roosevelt s
Cabinet, Attorney General Charles j.
Bonaparte. with lot of so-called inde-
pendent Democrats, people who invari-
ably vote the Republican ticket, have
all discussed this amendment, and have
yet to hear any of these gentlemen
named and their associates tell you of
any legitimate benefit whatever accru-
ing to the negro from voting or the
slightest benefit to the State or society
by reason Of the negro vote of over
so. 600 in Maryland.
1--WE cannot turn the 237, 900 negroes
in Maryland loose to prey upon the tax
payers, to squander the money wrung
by taxation from our farmers and pro-
perty owners to support the schools for
the negroes as we'll as the whites, to
build roads, to keep up public property,
to maintain proper police protection
SO that our lives and the safety of our
