How the Judicial Combine
Works Things in Allegany.
Traffic inJurors and Par
dons Condemned by
the People.
CUMBERLAND, MD.

-
.Mes*rs. Editors, of the Citizen"
In recent issue of your paper.
you, in measure, point out some
of the difficulties we have had to
conSend with i'm this county
through the PARTISAN action of the
''JWdicial Combine" by which the
now political Judiciary. so called,
of Cumberland, regulated the
political affairs of this county.
For years our people and the
members of the Cumberland Bar
were forced to submit to this out.
rageOus interference with one of
the most sacred nights of the peo-
pie. During campaigns Republi.
can candidates did not hesitate to
traverse the cOumty seeking voters
on the plea that if they would
vote for this or that man thew
would be put on the jury. Others
were offered pardons, if they were
interested i'll or convicted of crime.
nj they would do likewise. At
: times when we had no campaigns
the jurors were parceled out i'm
such a way by this combine that
the members, of the bar appointed
committee to visit Annapolis to
get the Legislature to appoint a
jury commission who would take
the appointment of jurors out of
the hands of the judges. Lown-
DIES, Wellington, Sloan and other
Republican leaders were openly
accused Of being in this combine.
1t is only question of time
when the people will rise up in
condemnation of judges allowing
their representatives to run poll.
tics from the judicial bench. In
Cumberland the people have ex.
perienced what it means for a
! judge on the bench to take part
in political primaries dictate,
nominees in political conventions
or run to political campaigns
after nominations have been
made. This applies to Demo
cratic as we'll as Republican
judges. The talk of a non -parti
san or political judiciary in
Baltimore is something attracting
the attention of the people of the
entire State. You will find thai
the masses will insist that theil
judiciary keep out of politics
They must be free and untram
meled and for this reason a wis,
provision was made for the term.
of the judiciary to be for fifteer
years and a competent salary
given. If the question has mo-
already come up in your county
1T will, from all accounts, make it
self known, and felt for free an(
independent judiciary is the safe
guard of the people, as their lives
their property and their liberties
| are i'll the hands of our judges.

The Frederick correspondent of the
Washington Post has rosy-tinted ar

election ofthe Republican ticket and
the Republican State's-Attorney in

REPORTS from Montgomery County
indicate handsome majority for John
Walter Smith, the Democratic candi.
date for Governor. A party from this
city recently passed through several
districts in that county, and says that
the feeling among the Republicans
whom he met, are very bitter against
Lowndes, especially on account of that
trip he made to Crisfield with George
Wellington Bryant, the negro whom
he pardoned from the penitentiary.
They say thai he will lose many Re-
publican votes, as the white citizens
consider it rather beneath the dignity
OF the Governor of the State of Mary
land to travel on equality with a negro,
even for political purposes. Lowndes
has stopped to some very low things in
this campaign, but this is perhaps the
lowest.

Republicans Said to be Dissatisfied

Those who want good county roads,
low taX's and an economical county
administration will all the Democratic
party this fall in electing the Demo-
cratic ticket. Great dissatisfaction en-
lists all through the county as to the
manner in which the Republican man
aters nominated their ticket. A large
ana respectable element of the party
was completely ignored and not one
single nom nation made from any but
the Mottcr faction. This was REGARDED
as most unfair as well as unwise. II is
hardly fair t. expect men who were so
compile ely ignored to feel much inter
est III tick nominated in that way.
80 long as Republicans submit to this
KIND OF politics, 81 long will the boss
run Republican politics in this county.
The ienedy is in the hands of the Re-
publican voters.

JOSEPH CHEW, the "Boy Orator"
says his silver boys are all o. X. this
fall and he will have them in line with
the gold chaps for Smith for Governor.
Next year he will be shouting for his
national leader, but this year "Teddy"
Roosevelt, with his expansion policy,
can't pull the wool over the eyes of the
Maryland people. Joe says its all
right--see?

THE echoes of the Roosevelt meeting
are still heard throughout the land.
After all the people are wondering why
he was brought into Maryland to
preach reform, when he was silent on
needed reforms in New York. 1t
made even Republicans wonder that
Teddy should be willing to be such a
ready too of the sly old Plat, who
still runs the New York machine.

Every Ballot is a Secret Ballot

Let it be borne in mind that the slip
on the ballot, bearing the voters name
does not go in the box with the ballot
and that no one can tell for whom a
voter casts his ballot. The Republi-
cans Il trying to bulldoZe their voters
by telling them that they will know
how each man votes. This is not 80
and ~ voter need fear that his ballot
will declare for whom he has voted.
This is simply one of the many tricks
used by Republicans TO scare their
voters 1t is like trying to scare men
on railroads or who work OIL corpora
tons by telling them they will be
turned off if they do not vote the Re
publican ticket. Democrats be true
this time. Lots of Independent Re
publicans are re3dy to help you to win
this fight.

Good Impression At Emmitsburg

one Of The most gratifying results of
the Emmitsburg meet ny was the fact
thaI all the Democratic candidates who
were present were able to get up be-
fore the splendid audience and express
themselves in an Intelligent and forci-
bic way. 1t was generally admitted
that seldom, if ever, Lad such an in
teillgent set ofmen been nominated for
county offices. The speeches were all
OF strong and convincing character
ana not one word said to wound the
feelings of any who differed with the
Democracy on State or county matters.
1t is gratifying to state that MANY of
the best Republicans of the county
freely declare their intentions of voting
Tor many on the Democratic ticket

CONSERVATIVE estimates from re-
liable sources put the Democratic ma
jority i'll Baltimore City at from 5000
to 10000. In the State no figures can
be given, as for the last five years no
track could be kept on party lines.
But it will be Smith by big majority
and Baltimore and Southern Maryland
will do the trick. Western Maryland
will give good returns, but unless u
landslide occurs it is conceded to the
Republicans. The exceptions to this
are Washington and Frederick couu-
ties, where the parties are. fighting
hard for supremacy. Adviees from
the former county state that the Dem
ocrats will win there and we know
that in Frederick, with all the advan-
tages of national, State, county and mu-
nicipal patronage and TIE control of
the machinery, that if the Republicans
gain victory (Which can only be by
small majority if they do), they will
know "they have been to horse FACE. !"
Our party is well organized in every
district and is prepared to give our en-
emies the best it has in the shop. May
success crown our efforts is the wish of
every true Democrat.

Pleasant, Tenn. Phillips Offense against

his wife, formerly Lonella G. McMilllon. The
couple met In Nashville where the ranger s
shooting prowess won first Miss Million {
admiration and then her heart and hand
So great was the girls confidence in Phillips
shooting that at exhibitions she used to
hold in her hand small cards for him TO
pierce with bullets. Once the marksman
was careless and shot away his wife's finger
and thumb, but he did not even diminish
her confidence by so doing, for In future
entertainments she held the targets with
the other hand. The girl shows signs OF
severe handling and says she wants to 90

made a complaint to Phillips. For this

Smelling Works Transfer.

Yesterday was the date on which the local
smelter passed under control and ownership
of the American Smelling and Refining COM
pany and from being purely local concern
becomes the property of the big organization
that now controls the smelling business of
the United States. The formal transfer has
not been filed with the county authorities,
but as no radical changes accompany the
ownership this is regarded as largely
a matter of form. E. w. Nash, who with
Guy C. Barton has been at the head of the
plant, will remain in New York where his
headquarters as president of the consoli-
dated company are located, and Mr.. Barton
retires to devote his entire time TO the nu-
