self contained and imperturbable manner that characterizes him, dis avows his belief that the recent political revolution in Maryland was rebuke to him or his political methods. Reporters who interview him say that he exhibits no tender ness, much less soreness, since his recent slide" but like the bad boy who was we'll thrashed. felt good when 1t was over.
 The Senator frankly admits that there are more republicans than democrats in his state, and pays pro lection a glowing tribute in the fol- lowing interview.
 The vote in Maryland cannot be regarded as a personal defeat of myself. or as a reflection upon my political record, said he. No per son we'll informed as to Maryland politics can so regard it. l have never thought of apologizing to anybody for anything in the recorp of my political career, and l find no occasion to begin apologiziug now. The verdict delivered at the polls in Maryland on November 5th was in no way personal against me, because there was no democratic revolt of consequence"
 What, Senator German, no dem ocratic revolt or disaffectioni'
 No. none of consequence. The democratic vote boiled in the state was within two thousand of the highest record the party ever made. That, in an off year, certainly shows that the democracy of Maryland was practically unimpaired by in- ternal or factional dissension.

To dc this they have been forced to bring from New England large number of skilled laborers, most of whom are republicans. That condition i' repeated in other counties of Mary land, and this alone is enough to account for a large increase in the republican vote.
 Moreover, there are many demo- crats in Maryland who believe il protection. This has caused S change, because these protection democrats believe that republican control of the government will near permanence to the policy of protec ton. h every class the sentiment in favor of protection has strength ened, and the depression of the last two years has caused many to turn for relief to the party not in power but with a consistent record in favor of protection to home industries There is also to be taken into ac count the Q ,0r Order of American Mechanics. This order is composed mostly Of young men who have never before taken an active part IT politics. It Is estimated that 1T Baltimore alone 17,000 young men cast their first vote this year, and through the influence of this order most of their ballots were thrown against the democratic ticket"
