MARYLAND VOTING
LAW CHANGE ASKED
G. O. P. Head Would Abolish
"DecIaration of Intention"
Feature.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, October 2O.-Galen l..
TAFT, chairman of the Republican
State central committee, would abol-
ish for all time the declaration of in
tention" law for voters, which makes
it mandatory for one to appear before
n clerk of a court one year before be-
ing permitted to vote to declare his
intention of becoming a citizen of the
State.
This law has caused more ill feeling
during the past % years than any
having to do with elections, TAFT feels.
In a letter to Gov. Ritchie and J.
Enos Ray. chairman Of the Demo
cratic State central committee, TAFT
suggests both chairmen get together
and attempt to have both conventions
adopt resolutions asking the law be
rescinded by the next Legislature.
But along that line Chairman TAFT
is likely to strike a hitch. it is be-
lieved. The law, which has been in sf-
feet since 1902. was drawn up by the
late John p. Poe at the reuqest of the
Democratic party.
There was no secret at the time
that this particular piece of legisla-
ton was aimed at the G.. o. p. to pre-
vent negroes being imported from
Washington to Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties and even to Bal
timore during an election.
Whether the Democrats still fear
such an influx would determine in
large measure their readiness to adopt
the suggestion of Chairman TAFT or to
turn it down.
