The Disfranchisement
Amendment.
(Albany Herald)
The time may come—and be¬
fore a great while—when the peo¬
ple ot Georgia will rue the day
they ratified the amendment to
the constitution which is now
popularly supposed to be aimed
directly at the negro and the igno
rant and irresponsible negro vot*
er only. Everything depends up¬
on the registrars, and if at any
time in the future they should
become partisan and their selec¬
tion should be made upon parti¬
san lines, wholesale disfanchise
ment of such voters as may not
come up to an arbitrarily impos¬
ed standard will inevitably fol¬
low. Uuder the administration
of partsan and unscrupulous reg¬
istrars this constitutional amend¬
ment could, under such political
conditions as are likely to arise
in the not distant future, be
made an instrument of great in¬
justice and oppre sion. Great
care should be exercised in the
registrars.
