Alexandra Democrats
Oppose Proposals 10
Amend Suffrage Law

Opposition to the proposed
Campbell amendments revising
the Virginia suffrage laws was an
nounced yesterday by the Alex
andria Democratic Committee.
In statement issuel by its
chairman, Bernard M. Fagelson,
the committee called the proposal
a Joker amendment"
The committees action came
as a surprise to many citizens
because the Campbell amend
ments are supported by some
members of the State Democra-
tic organization.
The constitutional amendments,
which would repeal the poll tax
with certain limitations, will be
submitted to voters. in a State
referendum November 8.
In the package deal to be put
before the voters November g."
said the committee, there are
some provisions which infringe on
the rights of practically every one.
Far from making voting easier or
from enlarging the electorate, the
Campbell amendment threatens
to impose even greater restric-
tons on voting in Virginia"
Specifically the committee listed
the following objections to the
proposed vote law changes:
1T purports to abolish the pres
ent poll tax of $1.50, but in eff
feet substitutes a SO poll tax.
ut requires closing registration
four months preceding elections
long before candidates have been
nominated and public interest
aroused.
1T also requires yearly regis
tration without providing any
need for facilitating the process.
sit gives the State Legislature
unlimited authority to alter vot-
ing requirements at will"
The committee said it would
list further objections to the pro-
posal before the referendum.
