Maryland voters face threat to white political power
The writer argues that colored voters in Maryland counties, including Baltimore and Caroline, are loyal to the Republican machine and will grow in power as Southern African Americans relocate. A constitutional amendment, backed by governors in the South, offers a remedy, though opposition comes from black voters, white leaders, and some Democrats who prefer the current machine. The piece urges conservative citizens of all parties to act to protect the state’s democracy.

OUR BALTIMORE LETTER Dems Split Over Maryland Constitutional Amendment
The State Central Committee met with prominent Maryland Democrats from across the state to discuss opposition to a constitutional amendment in Baltimore. While most expect a close fight, Black voters and many foreigners are expected to vote as a bloc, and white women are being urged to influence ballots for the first time in years. Senator Rayner pivots to oppose the amendment, shaking free supporters but likely to limit damage to the measure. Campaign energy remains high as 1907 politics shift with Colonel Buchanan Schley’s gubernatorial candidacy and other figures in play.
