Three More Suffrage Schemes At Alabama Convention
At Montgomery June 4 three new suffrage amendments were presented by delegates Captain Frank White of Jefferson Cecil Brown of Talladega and O Jenkins of Wilcox. White’s plan links registration with broader state policy and is seen as testing the value of registration to reduce black voting. Jenkins proposes the old soldier or descendant provisions with other limits to broaden white participation. Brown favors an educational qualification aligning whites’ protection with grandfather clauses. A Limestone County member Sanders withdrew a clause restricting fathers from office for constitutional conflict. Pyny Balsam stops the tickling and soothes throat irritation.
