The Negro registered vote of the Fifth Ju-
diciaI Circuit is, taking the figures for 1900,
1924, as follows:
In Anne Arundel 3,477
In Howard l,OOo
In Carroll 539-5,024
Tn order to elect the Democratic nominee
for Judge the party must poll 5,O24 votes 70
offset the black vote before the white Repub-
licans can be met. Does any white man pre-
tend to say that these 5,O24 Negroes are in
any manner competent to judge of the quail
fcations necessary for the bench? have they
the slightest conception of what judge should
be? Every candid white person must an
swer in the negative, and yet every one OF Inc
more than five thousand Negroes will vote on
November 9th for an associate judge. Should
their party be successful, it will be because OF
their votes They number more than the
white Republicans in the circuit, and without
their votes the Republicans would be IN the
minority fully 5000. The party could not be
able to induce any competent lawyer 70 &C.
cept nomination, with majority OF 6,oVo
against him. And the Negroes having aided
in nominating candidate and furnishing
more than half of the votes to elect him,
should he be elected, are not likely to stand
quietly and see the white Republicans occupy
the nositions of baiiffs and court officers.
These positions are not difficult jobs, ana
they are likely to request division OF them.
It is probable, too. that they would like 10
serve as jurors Every year the Court has
the appointment of twenty-one court Offices,
or 3l5 in a term of fifteen years. The Court
draws 1863 regularjurymen every year, or 1850
in a term of fifteen years.
A party that is so dependent upon Negroes
for success cannot afford to offend them.
They cannot be told they are unfit for balll1s
and Jurors; and, besides, most men have
gratitude towards those who help them TO
places Of honor and profit. The Negroes,
too, are not the unassuming voters they once
we're They are more selfasserllng Feel
ing that Republican government gives them
unusual license, during the Lowndes admin
istraton they fairly ran away with the State.
The assaults upon white men, women and
children by Negroes were fully thirty per cent.
greater than before, and in Baltimore they
carried matters with high hand. Negro in
science and rowdyism was disgrace to the
city. The Negroes threatened policemen
with removal if they interfered with them, and
the police force allowed many acts OF lawless-
ness to pass unnoticed for fear Of being dis
missed. Since President Roosevelt dined
Negro at the White House every Negro feels
foot taller, and should the Republicans car
nv their State, legislative and judicial tickets
next month there Is no telling to what lengths
the Negroes will go in demanding public po-
sitons or in defiance of law and order.
The only safe way 10 keep the Negroes out
Of jury boxes and other public places, and
have them observe the laws and rights Of 9TH
ers, is for the white men to vote for Demo-
Gratis. Democrats, at least, should stand as
solidy together as the Negroes do.

Republican Party and Trusts.

at (the Republican partly is ready by law
to curb and defeat organized trusts.
The above is part of the Republican State
platform To show its sincerity in the decla
ration the party nominated Herman S. Plat,
the head of the Oyster Trust and a cousin of
the Immaculate McComas, who spoke and
voted for the Force Bill, measure designed
to put State registrations and elections under
the control of Federal judges and Federal
marshals, which was defeated by Senator
German.
Republican legislation made Trusts poss-
BILE and that party has ever fostered and nur-
tured them. The last two Presidential cleo
tons were bought by money contributed by
the Trusts, and no harm can come to the
Trusts so long as the Republican party is in
power.

Do Not Forget Your spectacles.

Democrats who use spectacles should not
neglect to take them to the polls on cleo
ton day, in order that they can use them
to properly mark their ballots.
And it would be well for the Democratic
ballot clerk at each precinct to be supplied
with several pairs, in order to loan them
to any Democrat who may neglect to have
his spectacles with them.

From 1862 to 1867 the Republicans in
creased the State debt about three and a halt
millions of dollars. During Lowndes' ad-
ministration, 1896-190O, the State debt was
increased $559, 259.77, not counting debt

ment.
The Democrats have reduced the State debt
nearly FIVE millions of dollars, and a contin-

the navment of the balance.
