Views of UNC and Governor Blanchard on Suffrage
A letter from Governor Newton C. Blanchard of Louisiana, addressed to Murray Vandiver, chair of Maryland’s Democratic State Central Committee, argues for a proposed constitutional amendment limiting suffrage. He hails the Louisiana experience since 1895, claiming the suffrage restriction reduced ignorant and vicious voting, stabilized government, lowered political agitation among Negroes, and attracted investment. He urges Maryland to adopt the amendment, asserting it safeguards reform and progress.

The Labor Situation On the Eastern Shore
For ten days farmers across Queen Annes Kent Caroline Cecil and Talbot counties have pressed city labor agencies to hire workers for heavy corn and upcoming wheat fields. City men cost $1 a day plus board, yet much of the rural workforce remains idle. Some city negro labor is fair but much is unfit and refuses to work or lacks the know how. The labor squeeze pushes farmers to small towns where workers drift away as soon as they save a few dollars, worsening domestic relations and labor turmoil.
