The regulation of the suffrage in the present constitution does not alone affect the negro. It affects a large number in New Orleans who have emigrated to the State since the civil war. The controlling motive in the adoption of the constitutional provision was to eliminate an impersonal mass from the electoratea mass tha exists in all large cities as well as in the fields of Louisiana. It is a dangerous power. one which has been a potent factor in the overthrow of governments and the destruction of nations.
