1t is never safe to put much faith in the
first election returns. The Republicans
always claim everything and concede moth
ing. while the Democrats never claim what
they have not obtained. The first returns
and Republican claims on Tuesday night
and Wednesday indicated that the Repub-
cans had swept the country, but the official
vote and full returns changed the whole
phase of the matter and showed great
Democratic triumph.

Fair Elections.

At 9Rery election in Baltimore city the
public ear is vexed with allegations of fraud,
banst-box stuhing, pudding tickets, and an
unfair count. These alleged abuses are
complained of by the defeated party not
withstanding the safeguards thrown around
the ballot by every reasonable device for its
fairness and purity. The Baltimore Sun,
of Tuesday enumerated the precautions usu-
uallv taken to insure fair election. In
reference to the election of that day, that
journal said:
at must be admitted that whatever may
have been the apprehensions Of many voters
in advance in regard to the fairness of the
count, the knowledge that in today's contest
the people have at command $50 supervisors
appointed by the United States court and 900
special deputies by the United States marshal
for service at the polls in this city, ought GER
tainly to give the most encouraging assurance
that the right of every citizen to cast his ballot
and have it correctly counted will be fully
protected. Besides these ,260 federal guar
dams of the purity of the ballot box, we have
OOO pOllCenell, ifo-OJ " say q
of the 900 sworn officers of the State appoint
ed as judges and clerks to conduct the cleo
ton honestly, or the representatives of the
candidates, two at least for each party in the
field, who will be present to insure the fair
count of the ballots when the voting is done. )"
In addition to the foregoing precaution-
airy measures, the courts were actively en-
gagged in purifying the registration lists,
while the Reform League lent its superser-
viceable and offensive efforts in the same
direction. After all these efforts to guard
the purity of the ballot, it is incredible that
these allegations of fraud have any other
foundation than the distempered imagina-
lions of those who so loudly proclaim them.

In other states there were no very great
changes, and in the most of them only Con-

light everywhere. The Democrats elected
their candidates in the first five districts, and
Baughman nearly wiped out the 1910 majority
McComas had two years ago.
The first district, composed of all the coun-
ties of the Eastern Shore, except Cecil, re-
turned Gibson, Democrat, by LOOP majority
over Hodson, Republican, Nelson, Prohi-
bitionist, got great vote.
In the second district Hon. Frank I. Shaw
was opposed by Marine, Republican, and

Measure For Measure. !"

Measure for Measure" one OF
Shakspear's most interesting and
witty plays will be presented to-
morrow evening with no less per-
sons that Celia Alsberg, Sheridan,
and Morrison in the cast. This Is
certainly the strongest Shakspear-
ian combination that has ever visi-
ted Carson.
The play we believe has never
before been given in Carson. The
plot hinges on the fact that a high
official in a city in Austria found
that the very stringent laws
against immortality were not being
enforced. He accordingly left his
Office temporarily and turned over
the expounding of the law to a colo
blooded heartless man whom he
knew would execute them without
mercy.
Presently a seduction case comes
up and the culprit is sentenced to
death, much to the aston1sEment
of the people, as the laws against
bad morals had been a dead letter
for hundred years. The Duke
disguised as monk lays about the
Court to see if his substitute is
carrying out the law as laid down
in the books, and is asked to in
tercede with him. Several of his
friends who do not penetrate his
disguise assure him that if the
Duke was only there the accused
would be safe aud one of them
makes this assertion on the ground
that the Duke was thai kind Of a
man himself and had infrinsed on
that very law more than anybody
in the province. The ruined girl
pleads for the life of her betrayer,
and the Duke finds public opinion
so thoroughly against the execu-
ton of such a law that he is
obliged to get back on the bench to
save the mans life.
The play is very broad in places
and good deal of the broadness
has been eliminated by Gully Glib
Der in the acting version but what
is left is so spiced with Shakspear's
subtle wit as to make it present
able to an audience.
The play illustrates the heroic
forgiveness of a woman s heart and
the difficulty Of enforcing stringent
laws in favor of morality which
community does not especially
break its neck to practice. In the
hands Of three such finished artists
the event Of Wednesday evening
will be one to be remembered in
Carson.

charges having been made publicly
they were disposed Of publicly
The report of Sunday morning con.
tanned only the partial facts and in
justice to all parties the APPEAL
publishes all it knows relative to
the matter. Gov. Kinkea had
made strenuous efforts to secure
white help and had written to four
different places in California for
such help. He is at present stuff
erng from indisposition so much so
as to be unable tc dress himself and
had kept his Chinese servant from
sheer necessity.
Gen Clark had been applied to
By a Chinaman for food. 1t was
one he had frequently fed before
and he gave him the food as mat
ter OF charity. In return the Chi
naman cut some wood for him.
Mrs, John G. Fox some time ago
engaged a Chinamau to put down
some carpets. He did not begin
until the last of March and fin
nlshed a few days after the LIST. As
the Covenant did not effect "exist-
Ing contract" there was nothing out
of the way in this. The Chinaman
has not since worked there.
A Chlnaman recently employed
at a neighbor's house came to
Fox's yard to borrow tools, which
probably gave rise to the story that
Fox was employing Cinnamon.
The Olcoviches in replying to
the affidavit state that the offense
alleged to have been committed by
them was in January, and that
they had not dealt with Cinnamon
since the 1st except to collect bills.
Dozens of charges similar to the
above have been reported from
time to time to the Committee,
which have all been privately in
vestigated. In most instances
they were susceptible of some such
as the above, and fur
