THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND

The frantic efforts of the Ring
Democracy to divert the attention of
the people from the true issues of this
campaign will fail of their purpose.
/ These real issues are fully compre-
hended by the people, and they have
time and again demonstrated that
they can be depended upon for a
proper verdict at the polls.
All these boasts of lofty and honor
able purpose in the call of the extra
session of the legislature which. with
the useless and partisan census, cost
the taxpayers over one hundred
dollars, simply serve to disgust the
people because they know so well why
the legislature was convened in extra
session. These repeated frantic ap-
peals from Vandiyer, Schley g. Co. for
approval only excite in the mind of
every sensible man the query: "If the
old non-partisan election law was such
menace to the liberties of the people,
If there was such grave danger, under
this law, in the illiteracy of the State,
and in the universal suffrage, why did
not this same German ring have this
self same legislature enact the present
election at the regular session in 1900?
The membership at the regular ses-
sion was the same, this same notorious
political combination, German, Van
diver, Rasin, Schley, Baughman and
20. were in absolute control then as
now, the peril, lift existed atall existed
then as now, we were then on the eve
OF a great national election, if the
danger was imminent the time was
propitious, why, therefore, did they
not at this regular session frame their
DISTINGUISHING and purifying propo-
sition into an election law?
Does any sane man believe that
Messrs. German and Co. would have
called the extra session and forced the
enactment of this election law and the
taking of this census at the expense
of the people, if this State had gone
democratic last fall and there would
be no United States Senator to elect
next winter?
Partnership, arbitrary partizanship
of the most disgusting, dangerous and
inexcusable type inspired the whole
movement and its sole design is to Sc
cure, by an infamous election law,
control of the next Legislature, the
election OF German to the Senate and
the restoration of the notorious Cor
man ring to power in this State.
This is the issue:
Shall German be elected to the
Senate and shall German, Vandiver,
Raisin and their followers be again
given control of the State?
And no cajolement however fiatter-
ing, no fawning however servile, no
appeals however eloquent, no promi-
ses however multiplied will disturb
the good sense of the people of Mary
land or divert their minds from the
actual political situation.

VOTE YOUR OWN TICKET.

Let no Republican vote for any
Democratic nominee for the House of
Delegates, it matters not how well
you know them. 1t will not be vote
for them personally, but a vote for
German for the United States Senate
and vote, should the Democ rats be
successful in carrying the Legislature,
toward the passage of law at the
next session of the Legislature that
will disfranchise all who cannot read
or write, be they taxpayers or not.
A Republican vote for any Demo-
cratic nominee for the House of Dele
gates means vote to put the entire
election machinery in the hands of
the Gorman-Baughman ring gang,
to again perpetuate the outrages, the
frauds, crimes and scandals which in
1875 cheated the people of their YER
dict, and which yearly were practiced
by this ruffian ring until cast out
overwhelmingly by the people in 1895
when Lowndes was elected Governor.
If single Republican votes for any
one of the Democratic nominees you
help to fortify the same German
Baughman ring in absolute power
for generation to come. Vote to de-
feat these extra session conspirators.

COLONEL KILGORE INDISCREET.
Admits That Democrats Intend To Further
COmplicate the Ballot.

Colonel William Kilgore, the Dem
ocratic spell from Montgomery
county, who has been touring the
State in the interest of the Demo
cratic candidates, made some admis-
sions in Wicomico county recently
which have been reduced to the form
of an affidavit by two well-known
citizens of the county and which
should certainly result in the recall
of Colonel Kilgore by the Democratic
committee. In a conversation which
occurred at the Peninsula Hotel in
Salisbury about 8 o'clock last Sunday
morning, Colonel Kilgore said:
1T is our intention" said Mr.. Kill
gore, IF successful, to further fix the
qualifications to entitle a man to
vote, and make it more difficult by
adding property qualification to the
already educational qualification, and
| assure you that we will place it suf-
ficiently high and strong to get rid of
thls raDble and negro vote. We must
get rid of them, and if we are success
full this fall we will so thoroughly en-
trench ourselves that they will never
again be able to get us out. We must
win. 1t is very essential that we
should have the legislative part of
the ticket
To this statement Mr.. Isaac H.
White and Mr.. Jesse H. Bratton, two
well-known citizens, made affidavit
before f. G. Fulton, a Notary Public.
In differentiating between the ne
gro and the ''rabble," it is claimed
that in abiding to the ''rabble" Col.
kilgore meant the poor whites who
own no property. The affidavit has
been largely circulated through the
lower part of the State.

REPUDIATE THE SCHEME,

The Democrats by their extra SEES
sion, which cost the taxpayers of
Maryland 1925, 900, spent for the so lie
purpose of passing law that is
hoped to guarantee the election of
the entire Democratic ticket, have
given us Chinese puzzle of a ticket,
a low and shabby piece of despicable
work to deprive honest voters of the
right to vote, the fundamental right
of every citizen of Maryland. Let
every Republican come out to the
polls on election day and repudiate
this nefarious scheme and vote the
full Republican ticket by making
this x mark exactly in the square op.
posite the word Republican wherever
it appears ON the ballot.

GORMAN GORMAN GORMAN
RASIN RASINt RASINs


The above desire to be known and
designated as the White Mans
Party" Farmers, mechanics, labor
ers, ministers, lawyers, everybody,
young and old, rich and poor, before
voting, just recall what you will be
voting for if you vote the Democratic
ticket.
Remember the fraudulent elections
prior to the Republican law of 1896
Remember the $60,0OO,OOO worth of
stocks and bonds the Republicans
had placed on the tax books.
Remember the 100000 of cold cash
the Republicans compelled, by suit
at law, to be paid into the State
treasury, which sum had long been
withheld under Democratic admin
istration.
Remember the liberal exemption
that the Republicans gave the farmer.
Remember how the State debt was
refunded ct a lower rate of interest
and almost paid off entirely by the
Republicans who recommend large
reduction in the tax rate; but the
Democrats came into power and saw
fit to make large expenditures for an
extra session of the Legislature cost
ing thousands OF dollars to the tax
payers.

"RASCALITY REIGN

The State House at Annapolis
seething with corruption, rottenness
unparalleled distinguishes the pres
ent session. General interest of the
people forgotten in the scramble for
extra money And the conclusion
says, if the people of Maryland would
be brought to realizing sense of the
state of affairs existing here, they
would come to Annapolis in crowds
and drive the entire gang into the
bay
Other accounts of the same session
were equally emphatic, and the re
form session OF Governor Smith was
noted as the most scandalous in the
history of the State.
To give even a partial account of
that disgraceful session would take
columns of space, for, from the first
day until the closing hours, the whole
Assembly was one wild, turbulent,
and dishonorable scramble for Doodle
and spoils. Corporations were
plugged" members openly held
up legitimate bills for pay and the
lobby was enriched as it had not been
for years.
So outrageous and scandalous was
the conduct of the majority during
the session that a leading Democratic
Senator, Mr.. DIN Bryan, of Balti-
more City, said that it was a disgrace
to the State, and that every private
and corporate interest was considered
in preference to the general public in
terest. Mr.. Bryan also characte rized
the General Assembly as corporation
ridden and corrupt to an extraor-
binary degree. And the men who
were in control then are asking the
people to entrust them with the con-
troll again; so that they may continue
to ply their nefarious trade in the
State House.
The question for the people to de-
eide at the polls is, will they trust
them? Do they wish the same old
system to be continued so that Mary
land politics may become once more
byword of scorn and reproach?'

NEARLY a thousand years ago Magma
Charta was wrested from King John
on the plain of Runnymede by the
liberty loving people of old England,
and it now looks as if the people
of Maryland would have to demand a
new charter of liberty from German,
Rasin & Company. When this is done
as it will be done under God on
election day-the spirit of our Consti-
tuition will shine forever and ever like
a star, and the great principle of the
equality of all men before the law
will again be proclaimed. And John
Walter Smith, who has been truly
characterized as weak, plant and
ambitious" will go down to his politi-
cal grave in ignomy and shame.

WE DO most earnestly plead with
the Republican workers in the var
ious districts to see to it that every
Republican is instructed how to mark
his ticket before he goes into the
booth to vote. The well educated as
well as the man who unfortunately
can't read or write, will unquestion-
ably make a blunder unless he stud
les his ticket before he goes into
the booth on election day. Let
each district have some one with sam
pie ballots at the polls all day, so that
each and every Republican can have
an opportunity to look at the ballot
before he goes in to vote.

HOW THEY TREAT UNEDUCATED
VOTERS.

Have you father who cannot read
and write? Have you brother who
cannot read and write? Have you a
son or cousin or an uncle or a
nephew who cannot read and write
Ifyou have don't vote the Democratic
ticket.
The last Democratic Legislature
passed an infamous ballot law to take
away the right to vote from people
who cannot read: Wjter0teS the Dem
ocrets call them. The Democratic
party says if your relatives are not
educated they have no business to
vote. Will you stand it? Will you
submit to it? 1t is an outrage that a
man should not be allowed to vote
simply because his father or mother
were too poor to send him to school
There are in this county a number
of people who cannot read, who own
property and pay taxes and help to
support the State and county, but
the Democratic bosses say such peo-
pie are not fit to vote.
Rise in your might, honest voters;
give your support to the Republica n
candidates, and let the German
Baughman ring understand that a
man shall not be denied the right to
vote simply because he is not edu-
Gated

If you wish to vote the full Repub-
lican ticket you must make an X
mark in the square opposite the name
of each Republican candidate, and if
this mark is not exactly in the bl ank
space left for it the ballot will be

which voter with a single mark can
cast his ballot for the entire ticket.

Don't Moisten Your Pencil.

The pencil to be used in marking
the ballot on Tuesday next will be an
indellible one and entirely different
from the kind in use formerly. Great
care will have to be taken by the voter
not to wet the lead when making his
Y marks. If the lead is moistened the
y marks become blurred when the
ballot is folded and will make another
mark on the opposite fold such as
would cause the ballot TO be thrown
out as defective

LET all Republican, remember that
we are now back again in the dismal
state Of having to fight, not so much
for or against any man or any policy,
as for the right to have fair and de-
cent election. If the Democrats win
the next Legislature they will wholly
disfranchise all who haye not had the
advantages of a good education. If
Democrats win the people of Mary
land will be put back into the mire of
the days before Lowndes was elected
Governor.

paper of 1000 copies have been
printed and distributed to the voters
of the county. Thousands of circu-

The sample ballot is now being
studied by the voter. Just how a
man who cannot read is to cast his
vote by this ballot we cannot under
stand. Yet the German crowd who
made the law that produced this bal
lot still contend that they are for
equal rights and an untrammeled
ballot. Such deceit and hypocrisy
should be relegated to private life for
ever, and we believe the voters will
so declare on election day.

Elk Garden Rehabilitated.

Elk Garden, w. Va, has taken a
new lease of life. Recently many
houses were empty and sold at auction
from $40 to $25 each, torn down and
moved elsewhere. Since the West
Virginia Central railway has begun
work opening new coal mines there
every house is full, and some families
live in warerooms. Over 100000
shingles have been used the past few
weeks reroofing tenement houses
owned by the railroad company. The
coal miners have all the work they
can do, and make good pay.
