Any proposition involving change of the fundamental law of the state so important as the proposed amendment should have had the strong light of prudent consideration and calm and dis passionate discussion, and should have been voted on at a regular election. which election will take place in Mo- vember, 1910. Does any true Alabamian believe that any great body of it's cit- izens for any reason whatsoever should be deprived of the right to vote upon such an important question as the pro- posed amendment, one which seeks to waive the Bill of Rights in section 5, and permit by police statute the in- vasion of the privacy and the sancitity of the home?

The men who wrote the constitution of Alabama did not believe that so many white men would disfranchise themselves. they aimed at the highest and best purposes for the state in the disfranchisement of the negro. The poll tax was one of the bars placed against the negro as a voter.
