Men were given the right to vote even if they didn't own property.
In order to get more settlers, the government employed its one of the most important strategy of manhood suffrage. According to this policy, the government began giving suffrage to all white men. Moreover, it fixed the prices of land at very low, making it possible for settlers to move in the territory and buy a huge tract of land with a less amount of money. Therefore, to encourage people to move and settle, the government even granted voting rights to those who had no land.
