Support OF the Nominated Ticket
an Obligation of Party Mem
bershfD

an Obligation of Party Mem
Dership.
A government of the people, such
as ours, for instance, is based on the
rule of majorities. This principle
has been closely adhered to in all
organized bodies, of whatsoever kind,
whether social, religious or political.
The will of the majority, fairly ex-
pressed, is laws to the minority, and
the combined prosperity and main
tenance of order in any organization
is dependent upon the strict observ-
ance of this cardinal principle.
The democratic party of this coun
ty is a component part of one of the
political parties of this State. In
good faith and honor, its members
are bound to each other, (f desiring
continued membership to abide the
decision of the majority, when that
decision has been ascertained in due
form; otherwise order ceases, and
disintergration follows. The indi-
vidual member has no right, whilst
claiming membership, to act indie
pendently and in opposition to ex-
pressed will of the majority.
From this standpoint let us brief
ly consider the political situation in
Anne Arundel County as to the tick
ct presented by the late democratic
convention. AS result of the prima
ry meetings, held under party usage,
with fairness that has yet been un-
questioned, and with unusual unan-
Unity ticket has been named for
the support of members of that par
ty.
On the high ground of justice
and party obligation it is the duty,
the honorable duty of every member
of the democratic organization, to
give his earnest support to the nom
inees of that party.
The voters participation in pri-
mary contest is in honor a virtual
promise to abide the decision of the
meeting. He casts his ballot in be-
half of his individual preference, of
his friend perhaps, or for principles
he desires to see sustained as in his
judgment may be deemed for the
best interests of his organization,
whilst another votes for some other
man, or for opposite principles for
party or State government, but both
voters go as democrats to this pri-
mary meeting, both must cast their
ballots, if honorable men, with the
determination to support that can
didate, or those set of principles
which are sustained by the majority
participating.
To deny this, after consenting to
a test of strength, should not only
forfeit rights of membership, but
must be regarded as sharp practice,
resembling the game of "heads |
win, tails you lose" and cannot be
justified by any one who has the
slightest regard for the observance
of the Sth commandment of the
Mosaic law.
A failure to give this support.
heartily and effectively, cannot be
excused by reason of personal disap-
pointment, or even because the nom
inees may be in whole or in part
personally Objectionable. The voter
should remember that his ballot is
not a personal ballot. A principle
is involyed-hs is amt in the or
ganization By his own act of mem
bership, and having exercised the
