All proper diligence has been used TO make
our registration accurate and complete. In
the counties you have proved your appre-
citation of the significance and Importance Of
the coming election by turning out In your
strength and registering your fun vote. And
in Baltimore City IL Ii believed that the regis-
tratlon indicates great awakening of the De-
mocracy and n resolute purpose to do their
whole duty 20 thei. party and their State.
Democrats who. have neglected 10 register
cannot help ms with their votes, but they can
be of service by devoting at least some part of
election day In doing everything in their pow
er TO bring our voters 20 the polls. This SER
vice earnestly urge them to render.
Maryland Is Democratic State Tho i'd
min'stration Of It's affairs ought not to be In
tile hands Of the Republicans. But ale can
not be redeem. ed without vigorous, systematic
and enthusiastic wo-k. nor without the hearty
and generous cooperation Of all who ere anx-
ious 20 put her where she really be.ongs-in
the Democratic column.
Our registered voters should therefore feel
the necessity Of being at the polls in full force
and 40 early on the morning Of election day az
reasonably practicable.
Subcommittee In each precinct should pro-
vide themselves with a full list OF the voters,
and see that none Of our friends neglect to
vote. This requires Equalization. and 10 means
labor and vigilance. But the stake Is worth
all the time-all the labor-all the energy &c
shall cost to win it.
Two years ago the Republicans elected the
Governor and Comptroller and a large majori-
ty Of the House of delegates. But our major
ity I'm the Senate enabled us not only to check
vicious legislation. but TO impress our views
upoa the measures which were enacted.
The consentof the Republican mouse and Of
the Democratic Senate being equally necessa-
~ to the passage of every law. we must take
our full share OF responsibility for errors and
shortcomings and are fully entitled with the
Republicans 20 credit for whatever good was
accomplished I'm the way Of legislation.
Their majority on joint ballot enasled them,
however. TO send Republican TO the United
States Sesate and TO EJECT State Treasurer
and two members Of tho Board OF Police Com
mIssioners OF Baltimore City.
The election Of our stete ticket this year
will give Us one member OF the Board Of Pub
lie Works; and q majority ON Joint ballot in
the Legislature vii. restore 20 us control Of the
Board of Public Works by giving us the State
Treasurer and put 10 In our power also to elect
a United States Senator.
Itisof the utmost Importance. therefore, that
our full registered vote shall be cast. The re-
ports which come 20 us from all parts OF the
state are full OF encouragement. and all that
is needed TO secure a most gratifying triumph
is harmonious and well-orRanized effort
should we be 30 unfortunate as 10 lose our
STATE ticket and both branches of the Lerisla-
ture. the power OF the Republicans win be alb
solute. We may In such event look for the
calling of Convention 20 remodel and reyo-
lutionize our Constitution and the people OF
baltimore City viii have put upon them n
"New Charter" framed with a view to the
perpetuation OF Republican control Of their
municipal affairs.
These considerations, 50 obvious 20 oil who
are nc MI acquainted with the plans and pur-
poses OF the Republican party OF Maryland,
should stir you to q deep determination 20 re-
gain your political control Of the State. You
can do this IL you win heartily and harmonl-
eusiy address yourself etbe work Put aside.
