THEltE are six white men to
every black one in Maryland.
Il The former constitute the lanl
and property owning class of the
State. They hold its wealth. control its
industries. manage its commerce. direct
its business. In all affairs. fiscal tinan-
cial and political, they compose ahso-
lutcIy the controlling and dominant clr-
mcnt of our population and must con
tinuc to be such.
Yet in the face of these facts, the Dent
ocratic POSSES. have raised the negro
domination cry in this campaign
The absurlity of il. must be too APP
parent TO decline even the most obtusc
voter.
The simple question before the people
of Maryland, is whether they are willing
to continue in power the Democratic
"Machinc." which having gained control
of the State. has adopted the most DIES
pcratc as we'll rs dishonest methods. to
prevent the disaster which wrecked it IN
1898.

VERY reflective and conserva-
r tive citizen of Cecil county,
- should see, i'll the dcspicab!e
trickcry rcsoltcd to by the fol
lowers of the Democratic Ring. to de
feat the will of the people in nearly
every county of the State. I'll sufficient
reason for voting against it.
Til" simple fact. that in 50 many count
les of the State, the names of indcprnd-
"nt candidates have been attempted to
be placed upon the ballot. intended by
tn" Democratic Managers only to con
fuse voters. shows conclusivrly how easy
the ballot can he manipulated under the
present Election Law.
Democratic orators may attempt n
defend this iniuutous law. and cndeavor
to convince honest voters that il is an
honest measure. Int the frequency of the
attempts to load til" ticket with tn"
names of so-rallcd independent candi-
dates. prepared 10y agents of the Demo
'IHlI' MdlllE'IS, SHOWS tldl II Is MS

passed solely to secure their continuance"
in power. Voters in all sections of the
State are hccomim" convinced Of the
outrageous work done nj the extra scs-
sion of the Legislature. and all signs
point to q ..sna' triumph for honest
election methods. and that the n"farious
schemes of the Democratic Managers
will receive an emphatic rcbukc on No.

The simple issue to be settled then. is
that of honest elections and good govern

every honest voter in the Stat". must
know how he wants to cast his ballot.

WATCH YOUR BALLOT.

HE Republican party in 1896,
gave the people of Maryland mn
election law under which every
voter of the State could easily
honestly counted.
Under this just and equitable law, the
Democratic Managers saw power pass.
| ing from them, by the untrammclled
| votes of the people of Maryland. and an
extra session of the Legislature was
| called. to pass an Election Law. that
would exclude enough Republican voters
to give the coveted continuance of polit-
ical power to the Democratic Bosses.
After four years, under the Reform
League Election Law, passed by the Re
publicans, during which period elections
in the State We're conducted honestly,
decently and orderly, the people of Mary

Y /OU all we'll know what am
about to say is true. The Dem
ocrats in Baltimore and in this
State have their share of the
negro vote. The census reveals the rcd-
tive decline in numbers of the black
vote. The influence of that vote de-
iatcS with the criminal CLASSES in city or
town where the police are Democratic,
that negro becomes II Democrat. If h"
he II crap shooter, if he be Il policy run
n"r, if he be II bar-room loafcr that

idle, the disSolutc and the drprHvcd of
the colUrcd race vote the Gorman-RaSin
