BALTIMORE. Md. May 1, 1909.
The democratic state central committee
has accepted the gage of battle as laid
down by the republican party leaders and
the Acknowledgement amendment II be
the paramount issue in the fall campaign.
The stand taken by the democratic chair
man and his associates on the committee
is not at all the original plan of cam

ago had agreed TO keep the Straus plan

background had not William +. Stone.
the republican state leader, decided to
bring the issue into the limelight and
keep it before the public until the day Of
election.
Gov. Crothers has already announced
that he is in favor of the amendment. but
he will not take any prominent part in
pushing the measure during the fall cam
paign. He said that he would not make
more than a couple OF speeches. On the
day following the meeting of the state
central committee Gov. Crothers discussed

amount of work entaled on the officers
by the interest shown among all classes
in all parts of the city The series of
lectures and talks which have been held
during the past three months will soon
come to an end. Owing to the various
requests for talks from organizations in
the neighboring towns and counties. the
impression gained ground that open air
meetings would be held. but the officers
deny any such plans.
The only open air work being done by
the suffragettes is the placing of ad-
vertisements urging woman suffrage in
the street cars of the city.

1905. While differing considerably In de-
tail and in language the underlying prin-
ciple and purpose of the amendment is
the same as in the Poe amendment and
1t emanates from the same source-the
democratic machine politicians Of this
state, who desire to strengthen their con-
troll Of affairs and retain their power.
THE amendment Is obviously and pro-
fessedly aimed at the colored voters and
through them at the republican party in
this state. Recognizing that direct

mitting all white men to the franchise.
would be unconstitutional and would be
declared void by the Supreme Court of
the United States. the trainers OF the
amendment have endeavOred substantial
ly to accomplish this result by indirection
1t would not have been difficult to draft
an amendment which would disfranchise
the pauper. the ignorant and the crimi-
nal, irrespective of color. but this, ap-
parently, is not desired and has not been
aimed at. The effort is rather to en-
franchise all white men, no matter how
worthless or ignorant. ard to disfran-
chise the coored race substantially as
whole with sufficient number of excep-
tons to give it an appearance of con-
stitutionality."
Double Primaries.
Democratic city leaders. candidates and
near-candidates are worrying over the
question of providing funds for the two
primaries that the state central commit
tee this week thrust upon the city work
ers. The committee. refusing to listen
to the advice of some of the city men
who are conversant with the situation.
adapted resolutions providing for two
separate and distinct primaries-one for
the selection of candidates for the legis-
lature and the other for nominees for city
ofhces-judges, clerks of courts and sher-
iff. Under the recent appropriation of
the board OF estimates funds were pro-
vided for only one primary. which means
that the leaders or candidates or both
will be compelled to make good for the
other primary. unless some deal can be
entered into with the republicans by
which nominations may be made by ac
clamation. This would be impossible
should any contest develop in any ward
or legislative district in the city. II is
not likely that the republicans would
enter into any such DEAL because II

'As 1 understand it," continued the
governor, Mr.. Gather admits that the
negro as "a race Is not fit to govern, and
if that is true, then the illiterate negro
and the ignorant negro and the negro

that the white people of Maryland needed
G.OOO black votes in the ballot box to

commonwealth had been struck between

from the community. If the white people
of Maryland are not able to govern ,hem-
selves without the qualifying aid of 10000

1T may be that the votes of these ne
groes are desired to prevent the demo-
cratic party from running away with the
state If the democrats should have COM
plete control-basing this on the former
democratic ring rule" was suggested to
the governor.
No" replied Gov. Crothers, 'this is
not necessary. II should be understood
that the problem of negro suffrage is a
great deal deeper than the purely political
problem presented. The question OF ne
gro suffrage is not from the view OF the
white man a question of politics. At all
events 1t should not be. 1t has been shown
by experience that the negro Is far bet
ter worker, better citizen and does more
for his own improvement where he has
not the right of suffrage than where he
votes. The southern states have shown
