Gibson Of Maryland Turned Down at
His Own Home.

His Opposition to the Wilson Tariff
Bill Turns a Large Part of His Com
stituents Against Him-They Refuse
to Allow Him to Be Made Chairman
Of mass Meeting of the Party.
Easton, Nd. Oct. Ex-senator Gibson did
not preside over the democratic mass
meeting in Music hail yesterday. As Unit
ted States senator he would now be the
best man in his party at his own home
Yet he was not even given a seat on the
platform in front Of the people he was sent
TO Washington to represent.
The central committee was plainly told
several days ago by a member OF the
anti-Gibson democrats that II he should
be made chairman of the meeting at
least one hundred prominent democrats
would leave the han in a body. Their
animosity towards the senator is based
on that gentleman's course in the senate
regarding the tariff bill. Several other
candidates were named for chairman by
Senator Gibson's friends, but they were
all objected to by the "antis."
Finally the central committee decided to
run the meeting officially and so Charlie
X. Wooters, chairman OF the committee,
was made chairman of the meeting. More
than one half Of the vice-presidents se-
leeted are pronounced anti-Gibson men.
Not satisfied with capturing the organi-
zaton of the meeting the anti-Gibsonites
proceeded to make 1t moro unpleasant for
the senator Two questions were submit
ted In writing to the two congressional
candidates for the short and long term.
The questions were these:
DO you approve of the course Of those
United States senators, who though elect
ed as democrats, failed to support the
Wilson tariff bill until modified in the in
terest of protection and trusts, and who
thus dehed their own constituents, as well
as democratic president and a demo-
cratic House of Representatives elected by
an overwhelming majority of the country,

ence an interested listener. These gentle

| land senator was attacked, though not a
