MR.. MASTER ENDORSED.

On the recent occasion of the presenta-
ton to the Young Mems Republican Club,
of Baltimore, of life-size portrait of Mr..
Malster by the Columbian Club of that
city, Mr.. Henry Brunt, a member of the
well-known Baltimore firm of Bennett x
Company, of that city, made forcible
address. Mr.. Brunt said in part:
Mr.. President and Fellow Members of
the Young Mems Republican Club:
1t may look little presumptuous on my
part being recent addition to the ranks
of the Republican party in Baltimore to
bring before you the name of candidate
for the position of Governor of your State.
There are men around me tonight whose
hair has grown grey while in the Republi-
can ranks and they can no doubt speak
with more experience than can, but if we
expect to win at the next election, it must
be by making new additions to our ranks
and as one of the recent additions, we sub
nit to you to night the name of VIM. T.
Malster, for Governor of Maryland. We do
so because we believe that if elected Cover
nor he will serve his party and his State
better than any other man that is now
before you.
We believe that if ever the Republican
party had chance to be successful in Mary
LAID it will have it at the next election, so
that it is very necessary that the best men
of the party should be chosen for the highest
positions. 1t was in these club rooms that
the name of Mr.. Malster was first mentioned
in connection with the gubernatorial nomi
nation so that it may be safely said that the
Young Mems Republican Club first gave
birth to the Malster boom. This is quite
right and proper for he has done the party
good service in the past. He has in my
short experience led forlorn hope in
gallant fight for the mayorality of this city,
and though know there is no such thing
as political gratitude, yet from the fact that
he made such a noble fight under such
adverse circumstances should entitle him
to some consideration at your hands He
has proved himself true Republican and
a good fighter He has buckled on the
armor and gone into the fray when Re-
publicanism was at the lowest ebb it has
been in this country for nearly thirty year..
He has led your hosts to battle when defeat
was almost foregone conclusion, and who
so likely to lead the great army that will
flock under the glorious banner of Re-
publicansm and march to victory? APP
plause.
Can you wonder then that we ask you to
nominate manufactures for your Governor
The manufacturers want man that will
develope the industries of the State and
especially of Baltimore. We want a man
land | speak now as IA member of a firm
employing the largest number of hands east
of the Falls that understands the Industrial
problems that we have to face during the
next few years, from practical experience
4 man who can bring common sense to the
solution of these difficulties because he has
met with them in his own business We
want man that we can take before the
hungry workman, who is tired in look
will bring millions of dollars to Baltimore.
Who has paid hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars in wages to our laborers and me-
chanics.' We want to be able to say to
the business man and the property owner:
Here is man who pays thousands Of
dollars to his workmen who spend it in
your stores, and who rent your home to
live in. Elect him Governor and he will
bring more business and more work to
Baltimore and help to make the city and
State prosperous.
The workingmen of the city of Baltimore
want him because he is identified with the
manufacturing industries. They are tired
of having your coupon cutters, your pro-
fessional and your commercial men foisted
upon them. They want change They
want man who can give them employ
ment; who can bring work into the city so
that they may have chance at employ
ment because they know that with employ
ment they can enjoy the comforts of life
while without it they must starve.
The future wealth of America is buried
beneath the soil of the Southern States. and
Baltimore should play an important part
in developing it. The future of Maryland
is bright, politically and industrally As
the southern states become more and more
manufacturing states they will become
more and more republican states Mary
land should be ready to take her natural
position at the head of the Southern states.
She should lead in the political revolution
of the South as she has done in the manu-
featuring revolution, and while the candid
ate for President will undoubtedly be
selected from the East OF the West, there is
no reason why the vice President should
not be selected from the South, and if from
the South surely from Maryland. But to
put us in a position to urge our claim we
must put the Republican party in power at
the next election in both city and State
and we who are here to night from the
Columbian Club feel sure, that nothing will
contribute so much to the success of the
