Since his nomination, the Locofoco
papers of the State have been fruitful in
encomiums upon his talents, his eloquence
and his vast popularity in his own coun-
ty. He has been represented as a mod
ern Demosthenes, able at all times to
sway the feelings Of the people, at. will,
by his soul-strring appeals. If all this
be true, why was it that Talbot county
was found, in 1914, among those who
refused to obey the laws ofthe State, in
falling to appoint collectors of the direct
tax? Why was it that so many of his
personal and political friends in that
county were found taking part in public
meetings gotten up for the avowed oh
jcct Of multiplying the whole tax system!
Why was not then heard his soul-stirring
appeals rebuking their conduct, and re-
Winding them of their duties? In the
midst Of such proceedings,-the mere 81
ience of man of such Influence and prom
inence was acquiescence and appreciation
But he was not shtt. Let Mr.. Thomas
deny if he can, that in various CONVEX
sations with respectable gentlemen of
Easton, he advocated the doctrines set
forth in the resolutions published in chap
ter 3!

counties in May 1913, in which so many
prominent members of the Lorotoco party
had participated, produced call for mee'.
