Amendments to Be Voted On

There will be three amendments to the
Constitution to be voted upon in Nov
ember. Two will be for increased repre-
sentation for Baltimore city in the Legis-
lature. If the amendments are ratified
by the voters of the State, the city will
have six members of the Senate and 80
members OF the House of Delegates. Its
present representation is four members
of the Senate and "a members of the
House. The other amendment is the
so-called Digges Suffrage bill. Its OBJ
ject is to disfranchise illiterate and un-
thrifty negroes of the State.
When this amendment was passed by
the last Legislature, number of bills
changing the registration laws were
also passed. All designed to work
in harmony. The bills were vetoed by
Governor Crothers. The Governor did
not have the power to veto a proposed
amendment to the Constitution. When
passed by three-fifths vote of the Leg
islature, such amendments must be sub
mitted to the voters.

"At the Democratic convention of
1909 the party promised to enact a law
proposing an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the State, granting to the peo-

General Assembly of 1910 did provide
for the submission to the voters of the
State at the State election to be held in
November. 1911, such an amendment to
the Constitution. The Democratic par

1--WE also declare that the city of
Baltimore should be permitted to enjoy
the highest possible degree of local

as finally recommended by the Charter
Revision Committee.
Baltimore city, the metropolis of
the State, is in the midst of great inn
provement along the lines of better

and we pledge the party to the passage
of such enabling acts as may be requir-

ed improvements, all of which we sub

Although owing to the growth of
the operations of the State Govern

Assembly, an increase in administrative
and legislative expenses has been nec-
essarily entailed, the Democratic party
hereby pledges itself earnestly and
fairly to use all means to reduce the
cost and expenses of administration

Offices and by limiting the number of
departmental and legislative employees
to the lowest number which may be
able to discharge the actual needs of the
various administrative departments and
Offices.

ment of an employers liability act,
under which justice shall be done to the

the passage of such legislation as may
be constitutionally feasible for the due

Human Bodies Exhumed.

Notification to the general

of the Johnson-Porter Clay Com
pany that in clearing the ground
of the pits located at Henry Sta
tion, the workmen exhumed a
human body created quite stir
both here and around Henry,
near the scene. The workmen
continued work, awaiting the ar
rival of an investigating commit
tee, and to their horror found
several other bodies. lnvestiga-
tion revealed the fact that the
spot was family burying ground
of George Patterson, years ago.
As the last interment occurred q
score or more years ago, and the
the place had been in disuse and
was not kept up, there was moth
ing to mark it as the resting
place of the dead, and the grue-
some find was as much a surprise
to the workmen and all concern
ed in the company as it was to
the public generally. Work
stopped Immediately, pending
the investigation just cited, and
will probably be discontinued at
that particular point.
