      His point is that other priorities exist first which was a common sentiment at the time for poor suffrage vote, it was pretty common to want the wealthy to gain suffrage votes but not the poor.

      It’s fucked up yes but given the other positions at the time it’s certainly the lesser evil but not free of sin if that makes sense.
