the drastic decrease came. IL is seen
between 1900 and 1909. when l31.4Ol
voters disappeared. The explanation
is quite simple. II was in that period
that the Virginia Constitutional Con.
vention met and largely changed the
complexion OF the electorate by sur
rounding the exercise OF the suffrage
with multifold new restrictions and
stricter safeguards The result has
been the practical disfranchisement OF
the colored man, tho illitcrate white
and the nontaNpayor Voting under
the former Constitution was entirely
too easy matter. Residence was
practically the only qualification re-
CURED. Payment OF the poll tax was
not IA prerequisite TO voting under IT,
while under the new Constitution it Is.
The bars have been put UP and the
fences mended The Republican party
has become comparatively impotent
and negligible in the vocing OF pub
lie opinion as to the affairs of State
and nation. The absence OF II strong
opposition party in the State leads
10 an inevitable result in the small
increase In the electorate under new
conditions, The fact stands. however
that the tremendous reduction of the
popular vote in Virginia is due, not to
general apathy as TO the right of suf-
frage, but to the radical restrictions
imposed upon the electorate by the
people themselves.
