a corrupt ring; that the publ,
monies have been diverted from
their legitimate channels and in {
manner that has tended to keep il
power the ring Democracy Of Mary
land; that the people have beer
groaning under the tyranny o
Gormanism for the past thirty year
and we hail with delight the brigh
prospect before them of riddln,
themselves of this form Of politica
slavery.

when they took charge; that tn
schools have been used for politica
purposes and to further the politica
fortunes of the Democratic rim
without regard to the interests q
the people and the education of on
