A CLUMSY FORGERY

to have been written by President-elect

believed to have been concocted IN
Washington, but the purpose Of the for
gerry is not clear, for the reason that no
fund is raised for the inauguration ball,
the expense of that function being met
from the proceeds Of the sale of tickets.

latitude, therefore is located in the most
populous, as well as the most civilized,

point on the North American coast south
of New jersey, is near the Gulf stream,
and, therefore, Influenced by it climatical
" to considerable extent. Consists OF Il
range of sandhiIls some sixty miles long,
resting upon salt marshy seashore of
considerable depth. This subsoil, as well
as the everything sand, is exceedingly por-
Gus. and being surrounded, as it is, on the
west by beautiful bay of salt water,
where there is a tidal rise and fall of sew
eral feet, and upon the east being in direct
contact with the ocean, the waters Of
which frequently wash over and purify the
sandy soil. The foundation of the sea
coast being exceedingly porous, so much
so that the waters of bay and ocean, per
colate and intermingle through and through
if. having she same effect as repeated
washing with antiseptics The prevailing
winds on the coast are easterly, and come
loaded with ozone and zodium chloride,
being easily borne by the most delicate
membranes. and even when there is
westerly breeze it comes sweet and pure
from the spreading forests lying 50 close
to the Sinepuxent Bay, which separates
the coast from the main land There
is no stagnant water anywhere, no
fever breeding pools, no accumulation OF
decayed vegetation, no pollen-loaded air,
but all is sweet and pure.
The history of our seashore for twenty
FIVE wears shows an almost total freedom
from zymotic diseases, and even when,
wears ago. we had malaria upon the East
ern Shore, our sea coast line was almost
entirely free. For all operations and sur
eical work our atmosphere Is perfect
Bright sunshine, pure air. an equable tenn
perature leaves nothing to be desired, and
so it will ever be, if we care for the grand
heritage given us BY nature.
The winter temperature OF our ocean
front is about 40 in winter IS in summer,
with mean average Of 60. We are upon
the same isthermal line as the mountains
of Carolina. Indian Territory, New Mexico
and Lower California, with considerable
greater rainfall, being about thirty inches
annually Our average humidity is much
greater. but as the moisture is from the sea
il comes charged with healing powers.
The lands in the immediate vicinity of
our sea coast are well adapted to the culti-

We must not falter in our fai i that the
work of the campaign, against promises so
puerile and fruition so fetid, will be guided
by that intrepidity that rises above fear,
and fortified by that positiveness that leaves
no shadow of question.
To that end duty is never doubtful.
Practical conditions confront us. Practi-
cal effort will meet them. The American
citizens buckler is his ballot. In such
sign we shall conquer But, to conquer,
we must be alert. We must not sleep on
our arms, or underrate the foe. The
ballot will win, if we use it. adjure you
to use it. Let no Indifference blunt its
force, or delay dull its edge.
Maryland law demands fixed and un-
alterable condition of the voter. He must
be registered or he cannot vote | have
no doubt of the result, if all who agree in
the essentials of our canvass, take time to
register their rights of suffrage, and after.
wards to exercise it.
Register Vote
In such emergency the voters duty
becomes so clear that language must fail to
make it clearer. The ballot is liberty.
Without the ballot we are the victims OF
caprice that ever threatens tyranny Our
rulers change as we vote. IF we do not
vote, they will not change, however dire
the need If we do not vote we are yir-
tually disfranchised. If we neglect to Sc
cure the right to vote we disfranchise our
selves We commit hari-kari. Politi-
cally, we are disemboweled We are as
helpless as the alien. We may complain,
without right, because we have neglected
our duty We may repine without RENE
dy; because we despised opportunity.
Therefore, Register
Keep your mind $ eye on the proper
date Remember there are only two days
of registration-September % and Octo

your franchise. Take care that it is Sc
cured; and then on election day make it
your province to execute the freeman
will, as lightning does the will of God.

1t would blur Maryland $ history-in
suit her traditions ;-enervate her PROV

possibility except the success of the party
whose name, in Maryland, has always
stood for material progress, and political
