official patronage corruptly dispensed, and
grown audacious by the long possession of
political power has for nearly three decades
past, compelled US to pay unwilling tribute
to its supremacy. 1t has made subservient to
the personal uses of its managers, a large
element Of the Democratic party of the State,
and by corrupt and fraudulent means has,
maintained its dominance over the Republic
can party in Maryland, until to-day, when
the manhood of Maryland regardless OF party.
is resisting its unwholesome oppression, and
is clamoring for its downfall.
"NIy fellow citizens, the ono paramount
and underlying issue of this campaign, is

people to select their own rulers, against the
attempt OF one man to select them-the right
of free ballot and fair count.
SIN this great struggle between the bosses
and the people, we ask the cooperation
and support at the polls of every voter who
believes in popular government, and the
inalienaJ!e right of the people TO rule"
