THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

This the Democratic platform de-
clares TO be the main and vital is
sue at the coming election, and this
has been emphasized by all the Demo-
cratic papers and speakers during the
campaign. The Democratic party be-
lieves that the best thing that could
occur to the negroes OF Maryland
would be the adoption Of the proposed
amendment, taking them out Of poll
tics.
OF course. the Republicans do not
want to give him up, because In almost
every county OF the state, and in the
city OF Baltimore, the negro is their
main reliance without him they
could not carry single county in the
state. except perhaps Garret and Al
legany
SO that for purely partisan reasons
the Republican party is fighting this
amendment, And they are not doing
II directly and squarely. They do not
come out and say that the negro is a
good voter. except as he votes the Re
publican ticket, But when the Demo-
cratic party attacks his competency
as voter, no Republican attempts TO
defend him.
All present indications point TO the
adoption OF the amendment at the
coming election Now, Carroll county
must do It's duty. And then we have
not only the amendment, but one OF
our own citizens is the candidate for
Comptroller, which should excite some
county pride. And then we have our
principal county officers to elect This
county has too long been Democratic
to permit any part OF It to be turned
over to the Republican party. And
this will not be done. II every Demo.
crat will do his duty.
The Democratic advocate., 1909-10-22
OBJECT OF AMENDMENT.

As is well known. the object Of
this amendment is 10 get rid of one
of the growing evils in our social
order. The people Of this county
who pay the taxes and bear all
other burdens of public expense
know without telling them they
should have the controlling voice
in the selection of public servants
and the decision of public ques-
tions. With few exceptions, pub
licists now agree that the mis- use
and abuse of the ballot by the il
literate negro is a constant peril
TO our form Of popular govern
ment. The reasons for this abom-
Unable blunder are to be sought
in the yindictiye selfishness OF the
Republican party, which is rcspon-
sible for the wholesale enfranchise-
ment Of this Totally unfit mass OF
unfortunate people. Now the
Democratic party, in this amend
ment, requires nothing unreason-
able Of the negro TO vote. II sim
ly requires that he have some
small degree Of intelligence, or in
other words it seeks to refuse the
ballot to him while he blindly re-
fuses to qualify himself for its use
When it is borne in mind that
this State appropriates nearly $25,.
600 a year for negro schools, il
certainly does not seem unreason,
able to insist that he should avail
himself of the advantages afford
ed by such generosity or abstain
from voting.
The position of the Democratic
party upon the amendment is con
sistent and entirely fair. 1t SEEK
an intelligent ballot as opposed t.
an ignorant one. by reading thu
I Amendment it will be seen tina
4 any man who himself pays taxei
on $500, or whose wife pays taxel
on the same amount, can vote ir
respective of his color and withou
making the writtcn application t
register.
All good citizens should there
\ fore favor the prompt passage o
law like this, which is designed
/ ia the interest Of the whole com
unity. Vote for the Amend
ment and for substantial and in
A telligent electorate.

NO DOUBT ABOUT 1T.
Suffrage Given TO Negro TO Boost Re.
publican Party.


In a speech, by oliver p. Merton.
delivered TO his constituents at Rich
mond, Ind, on the 29th OF September,
1865, on bestowing political power on
the negro, he said among other things
Can you conceive that body OF
men, white or black, who as well as
their ancestors, have been In this
condition Il. e., slavery. are qualified
to be lifted Immediately from their
present state into the full exercise OF
political power? To say
that such men. just emerging from
slavery are qualified for the exercise
of political power is to make the
strongest pro-slayery argument ! ever
heard This is to pay the highest
compliment to the institution of slay-
cry. We not only exclude
them from voting, we exclude them
from our public schools, and make
IL unlawful and criminal for them to
come into the State. No negro who has
come into Indiana since 1850 can
make a valid contract. He cannot
acquire title to a piece Of land, be-
cause the law makes the deed void and
every man, who gives him employment
Is liable to prosecution and fine.
.. With what face can Indiana go TO
Congress and insist upon giving the
right of suffrage to negroes in the
South?
In elections In the State OF Kan
sas, preceding the year 1871, negro
suffrage had been defeated by $1,000
majority. In the state of Ohio the
majority. against negro suffrage was
$4,000 In the State OF Michigan, the
people refuse to give suffrage tothe me-
groes by a majority of $4,000. These
popular edicts came up for discussion
in the United States Senate, and Gen.
Frank Blair, OF Missouri, replying to
Senator Morton, OF Indiana, said: The
Senator has gone somewhat into the
history of the Fifteenth Amendment
the rightful adoption OF which is con-
tr0verted by his State In the concur
rent resolution passed by the Legis-
Iature OF Indiana. The Senator from
Indiana we'll says, 1T is political
necessity to his party at this crisis. 7
ID. H. Chamberlain, once reconstruc-
tion Governor of South Carolina, had
right to speak by authority on this
subject and in the Atlantic Monthly
for April, 1901, writes: Under ali
the ayowed motives for this policy
lay deeper cause than all others

rarity ascendancy and control at the

When a man is whipped in fair
fight, it does not become him nor
his friends to pout and sulk over
his defeat, and attempt to "get
even" with his victorious opponent
by methods not recognized in hon
orable warfare. A boy once said
to his playmate, "If / can't lick
you, | can make faces at your sis
ter. !" This was not creditable to
the boy, and it is certainly not the
part a full-grown man could take
without bringing down upon him

THE ELECTION.

AS the election is approaching,
every citizen of Carroll county
should consider the question Of
voting. No single citizen or tax
payer can afford to shirk the duty
of voting, or depend upon his
neighbors and friends to fulfil it
for him
Every voter, whatever may be
his political feeling, should bear in
mind constantly three significant
facts, viz
That Carroll County is entirely
free of debt; that 1t has the lowest
tax rate Of any county in Mary
land; and that it has built and
maintained more public schools
to the square mile than any other
county in the state.
But this is not all AT present
the county has to its credit sub
stantial bank account and assets
amounting to thousands of dollars
III uncollected taxes. This thriv-
ing and enviablc condition has been
reached and at the same time a
liberal and progressive policy has
been followed in the administra-
tion of all the county business.
Our public roads are as good tax
ing all things into consideration,
as the public roads elsewhere. At
considerable expense, and grad
ually MS the resources permitted,
new and substantial iron and con
crete bridges have been built 10
replace the old wooden ones and
accommodated Unnecessary demands
of the public. The public school
system has been rapidly growing,
| in consequence Of which growth
more money is annually required.
To illustrate, in 1887 the public
schools cost this county $2l 900 and
last year about $50 200.
This and more has been accom-
plished, in addition to paying OF
the entire public debt Of $64 709.6l
and interest left by the Republican
party in 1867
The credit for such efficient
economical and progressive man
agemcBt must necessarily b.
awarded to the Democratic party
! for that party has been in contro

publican party may attempt Il
