For coughs and colds Benson's Porous
Plasters are an incomparably better rem
edy than any other-external or internal.
Their medicinal properties enter the skin
and go straight to the seat Of the disease
They relieve and cure ''seated" cold
without disturbing the system Or upsetting
the stomach. Cough mixtures often nau-

the highest degree, and quickest to act:
Placed on the chest or back or on both

Lung or bronchial affections or kidney
disease, are cured with the least possible
suffering and loss of time.

form. They are also preferable to oint-
ments, liniments and salves.

Mr.. German on Ballot.
FORMER SENATOR JUSTIFIES
WORK OF THE EXTRA
SESSION.

Former Senator Arthur p. German,
interviewed at length at his home in
Washington regarding the legislation
enacted at Annapolis in the extra ses-
sion. wholly justified the work of the
Legislature.
Mr.. German claims:
That the changes made in the sys-
TEN of voting in Maryland do not come
within the purview of Congress be-
cause no right insured under the Con-
stitution TO any voter has been i'm
paired.
That the new State census WAS or
dered for legislative apportionment
purposes because the Federal census
in Mary yland was VIGOROUSLY padded
f'r Republican partisan ends, as con.
fessed by recent arrests.
That the registration law was
amended 50 as to limit the voters to
actual residents of the State. and under
the old law thousands Of non-residents
formerly residents and temporary resi-
dents had voted.
That the reason for amending the
Election law so as to prevent person
from having assistance in marking his
ballot, unless physically disabled, was
because every man who wanted TO sell
his vote claimed to lie an illiterate and
the election official who went into the
booth could tell the vote buyer how
the vote was cast.
That these changes will prevent illit-
crates from voting is boldly admitted,
and this policy is as boldly defended,
Mr.. German laying stress on the fact
that the new Maryland ballot is an
exact counterpart of the Massachusetts
ballot.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1901-04-12
DEFINES THE SITUATION.

Mr.. German said: II am, of course,
aware of the fact that there has been
much uncalled for and unjust criticism
of Governor Smith and the Democratic
majority in the Legislature, either due
to ignorance Of the situation or inspired
10y malignant personal or party feel
ings. But the fact remains that the
legislation enacted was demanded by
the highest considerations of public
policy and is intended to insure more
perfect, honest and economical admin
istration of the affairs of the State.
''To enable those who are unfamiliar
with Maryland affairs to appreciate
the conditions it is necessary to give a
short resume of the situation which
confronted the people of Maryland
prior to the calling of the special ses-
sion.
"On the thirteenth day Of February
Governor Smith issued his proclama-
tion convening the Legislature in ex-
traordinary session, and in that call
clearly set forth the necessity for the
same.
First, that it was evident there
were palpable errors in the Federal
census, either by accident or design,
and that if permitted to stand they
would result in giving certain counties
of the State undue representation in
the General Assembly and enable a
minority to practically control legisla-
tion in the State. This improperly in
creased representation would have
Injured to the benefit Of the Republican
party at the ratio Of six to one.
"The Maryland Constitution fixes
the basis Of representation of counties
in the House of Delegates Of the Gen
eral Assembly as follows:
"Counties with $4,000 souls or less,
two Delegates.
"Counties with $4,000 and less than
$4,000, three Delegates.
"Counties with $4,000 and less than
10000, four Delegates.
"Counties with 10000 and less than
$4,000, five Delegates.
"Counties with 55 900 and upward.
six Delegates.
FRAUDS IN CENSUS.
1T is further provided by tue Con-
stitution (and there is no discretion
given the Governor) that after the
taking and publishing Of the national
census every 10 years the Governor
shall, 10y proclamation, apportion the
representation in the Maryland House
OF Delegates on the basis above given
according to the census figures.
when the Federal census returns
for Maryland were made to Congress
and published in Census Bulletin No.
! %, dated January 3, 1901, it be.ame
the duty If the Governor to adopt
those returns and issue his proclama-
ton, fixing the representation of each
county upon the population as therein
stated. 1t was SO patent, however, to
F.! the Governor and to all others in Mary,
! land who had examined the Federal
! census returns that the lists in St
! Mary's, Charles, Anne Arundel, and
possibly one or two other counties
were fraudulently made up, aad, il
adopted, would be unjust to Other sec
tions of the State, not only because OF
| the increased representation given in

OPPORTUNITY FOR CORRUPTION.
"This provision furnished the oppor-
tunity for the corruption of the voter.
All that it was necessary to do (and
that is what is exactly believed was
done to great extent) was for the vo-
ter at the time of gistraton to say that
he could not read or write. Then on
election day when he had made his
bargain to sell his vote he called upon
the two ballot clerks and they wit
messed The fact he either voted the
Democratic or the Republican ticket,
as the case might be.
"Whle the ballot clerks were sworn

CORRECT REGISTRATION.

"The second matter, equal in i'm
portance and outlined in the Cover
nor's call, was to amend the Registra-
tion and Election law of the State so
as to secure the actual bona fide resi-
dents of the State full, free and fair
opportunity at each recurring election
to control their own affairs and to ex-
clude from the voting lists large num-
bers of persons who do not actually re-
side in the State, but return to vote at
election.
