1t was apparent beyond doubt that the

THE war Of the people against their
political bosses IS spreading all
along the line in the counties of the
State as well as in the City Of B lltimore.
The Baltimore SIN of Monday in
advising Democrats of that city to sup
port the Independent Democratic
nominees who are being supported by
Republicans, pertinently says. "There
is no doubt that the dissatisfaction
with the ways and methods of the
bosses and with the bosses them
selves, is both deep and widespread in
the democratic ranks. 1t is not, rs we
have already said, and as the character
of the independent nominations abun-
dainty demonstrates, the dissatisfaction
of 'soreheads,' Of men who have failed
to secure the favor of the managers, or
who, having served the managers and
Oeeh served by them IN turn, nave been
discarded as of no further use. 1t is
the dissatisfaction of the PLAIN people,
of the honest masses of the party, who
have grown sick and weary OF the greed
and selfshness OF the party leaders and
of the corrupt methods by which they
have sought TO enrich themselves and
retain their power"
That is just the political condition
now existing in this county. The
honest masses of the Democratic party
are IN revolt against the greed and
selfshness of their party leaders.

Yet the journal ofwhich Capt. Purnell
