substantial reasons for being dissatisfied
with their State government. Their
State Treasurer, who was also chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, has

prison. The census bulletins show that
Maryland has made litsbe grvgress. Real
estate, and particularly farm land. has
steadily deprecated in value. The Bal
tmore American charges thst the bad
management Of county officers irf many
ecu 1ties has caused capitalists to look
with disfavor upon ne u estate collateral,
aad in consequence there have been no
home influences to- cause development,
while Northern capital has flowed past
Maryland into Virginia, Georgia, Tenn
essee and other more Southern States.
While it is true that Northern capital
has been attracted to these States by the
wealth Of the natural resources ia cesg

eheaply and which will support many
thousands more people than the pl esem

capable local government and effieien*
State gov ;rnment could undoubtedly do
much for Maryland. The Site Democ-

the State. It's only purpose has bees to
have the State do for the Democratic
