The Nominee for Associate Judge.

No Democrat should hesitate for moment
in deciding to cast his ballot for William II.
Thomas, ESQ.,, for Associate Judge. In the
first place he is the regularly nominated can
didate of the party. and all party men should
support him. And especially should all those
who took part in the judgeship primaries feel
in honor bound to do so. Majority rule is
the cornerstone of Democracy, and those
who do not propose to abide by the decision
of the majority have no right to participate in
primaries, nor can they conscentiously call
themselves party men. The very object of
primary meetings is to ascertain the will of
the majority, and if the sense of the majority
is not to be respected, then primaries are use
less and party organization fails.
Beyond these considerations no Democrat,
and indeed no citizen, can err in voting for
Mr.. Thomas He is learned in the law, con-
sefvative and Conscientious, and will make an
upright Judge Being in his 41st year, he is
FIVE years older than the late Judge Smith
when he was elevated to the bench; eight
years older than the late Judge Stump when
he was elected in 1867; several years older
than Judge Briscoe of the Court of Appeals
when he entered that Court, and three years
older than D. N. Henning when he was NOM
mated for Associate Judge in 1882
Mr.. Thomas is in the very yigor of man
hood, mature in judgment and capable of
performing promptly and well the duties of
the bench.
He will neither be found biased toward
friends nor harsh to strangers. Between liti-
gants he will know nothing but the law. In
criminal cases justice will be tempered with
mercy
All in all Mr. Thomas will make an ideal
Judge. His extended knowledge of law and
the practice of the courts, his equitable and
conservative temperament, his moral sound
ness, his honesty, his freedom from blasting or
corrupting influences, commend him to all
voters who would have the courts temples of
justice, fairness and mpartiality.

Important to Democrats.

On past election days very many Democrats
deferred voting until the afternoon, some 60
ing to the polls barely in time to vote before
the hour of closing, at o'clock.
Voting will be much slower this year than
heretofore. In the past ten years or more
one X mark at the top of the ballot meant a
vote for the whole ticket. Under the amend
ed law a X mark must be placed opposite the
name of each Democratic candidate, and in
stead of one mark. eleven will have to be
made.
The marking of ballots is no more difficult
to voters than the marking of former ballots,
except to illiterates. But it will take longer
to make eleven x marks than one, therefore
we urge that all Democrats who can do so to
go to the polls in the morning. Those who
cannot do so should go and vote as early in
the afternoon as possible.
The election next month is the most i'm
portant since the Radicals were driven from
power in 1867. Every Democrat should do
his duty by voting the whole ticket, and no
Democrat should give his Republican neigh
Dor on the Republican ticket even a compli-
mentary vote. This is not the year for com
pIiments. The contest in Carroll many be close
and two or three votes might decide the fate
of candidate.
This is the time that proves mans De-
mocracy and his devotion to principles and
party. The true Democrat will not be found
voting for Republicans this fall, either as a
compliment to the Republican, or because OF
some fancied grievance.
The Democratic advocate., 1901-10-19
Still Begging.

Two years ago the Republican State Exc
to all postmasters throughout the country and
to Federal officeholders at Washington, ask
ing contributions to the Republican campaign
fund of that State, saying that money was
needed to keep the State from going Demo
cratic, which would be construed as rebuke
to Mckinley.
This year they have not asked contributions
directly, for the Committee was severely criti
cised for its circular two years ago. Instead,
however, they have had reprinted an editorial
from the Ohio State journal, which alludes
to the circular of two years ago, the criticism
of the same, and states that the Committee
will not issue circulars this year to Federal
officeholders. The editorial winds up thus:
Realizing the importance of this years
campaign, we feel sure that Republicans all
over the country will gladly render their as
sistance without waiting for the formality of
a letter from our committee. 1t only neces-
sary they they should know that we will be
glad of their help"
The Committee is not sending out direct
appeals to the Federal officeholders, but in
stead is mailing copies of the editorial of
which the above is the closing part. 1t is just
as bad, and as much violation of the Civil
Service law as the begging letter of two years
ago.
The ADVOCATE received copy from an ex-
postmaster of Carroll, the Committee not
knowing that sixty five postofices of Carroll
were abolished when the free rural system was
established and mailed the Journals article
to the former as well as present postmasters.

Falsehoods Won't Win.

The Baltimore News between October II
and Is published reports that the Democrats
we're attempting wholesale disfranchisement
of Republicans in Baltimore, and in some
wards had practically the whole Negro vote
placed on the suspected lists. In speaking of
the matter the Baltimore Sun of Wednesday
said the whole number stricken from the
books by both parties was l40-94 white and
46 colored. The Sun said further
"In the city the charges that the Democrats
would attempt wholesale disfranchisement
of the colored voters proved unfounded and Il
comparatively small number of names were
removed. In the Fifth ward, where the Re-
publicans charged that the Democratic "sus-
pect" lists contained large numbers of names,
there were eight white and seven colored
names stricken off. "
The people are too intelligent to believe any
such stories the News has been publishing and
Republican politicians have been proclaim
ing. Besides, with registrars representing
both parties, it would be impossible to prac-
tice fraud, and the law, too, is very exacting
in requiring proper evidence before names Of
registered persons can be removed from the
hooks
The Democratic advocate., 1901-10-19


The day of election, November s, is draw.
ing near. It is but two weeks off from next
Tuesday. The registration books are closed
for this year, and it is time now to begin work
preparatory to having the full Democratic
vote polled. Every Democratic voter must
be seen and have the new ballot explained to
him and shown how to mark it. Any Demo-
crat, no matter if he cannot read English, can
learn to do it in FIVE minutes, and after he
learns he should be told that the present cleo
ton is the most important since 1867 and be
urged to go to the polls and vote for every
Democratic nominee. He should be warned
against giving complimentary vote to
neighbor who may be on the Republican
ticket, for this is no time for compliments of
that kind. The coming election is serious
influence If the Democrats win there will
be good economical management OF State
and county affairs. The virtue and inteili-
gence of the State will be in control. Tax
rates viii be guarded, public debts avoided,
public schools fostered and the general well
fare of all the people conserved.
Should the Republicans win incompetency
will reign as it did from 1861 to 1867 and
from 1896 to 1900. The party, being under
obligations to some 10000 Negroes, will of
necessity have to cater to that ignorant class
Already have the Republican managers de-
creed the repeal of the present ballot law, SO
that the Negroes of Washington City can vote
in Maryland, and also the hcrdes of illiterate
Negroes from the South who have been COM
ing to Maryland the past two years.
People who believe in the ascendancy of
the white race-who desire the virtue and in
telligence to govern the State, should be up
and doing. There is no time for delay, but
at once begin plans to get out every Demo
cratic vote on election day and try to induce
the respectable white Republican taxpayers
to vote for the Democratic nominees. Hun
dreds of them oppose Negro domination, OPP
pose public debts and excessive taxation.
Tell them the safest way to avoid all these is
to vote for Democrats. IF they support Re-
publicans they run risk of having all these
evils.
To work, then, Democrats. See your neigh
bors and arrange to get them to the polls on
election day. Take them with You in your
carriages or loan them horses to ride, and go
to the polls in the morning.

Defaulter's Neely's Case.

HAVANA, October 15.-The indictments in
the Havana Postoffice fraud cases, sent yes
terday by the Fiscal to the Audencia, impli-
cate Estes G. Rathbone jointly with c. F, w.
Nicely and w. Fl. Reeves in defrauding the
government, his completely being based on
the contention that he permitted-.and, there
fore, consented to and tacitly auhorized-the
fraudulent transactions.
The whole amount of the alleged embezzle-
ment on all counts in the indictments is esti-
mated at $l50,O0O. The Fiscal has recon-
mended that each of the accused be fined in
this amount and also that Rathbone be sen
fenced to Imprisonment for % years, Nicely
for 25 years and months, and Reeves for "a
years and 6 months. The Fiscal has further
recommended that Moyla and Mascere, stamp
clerks, be sentenced to Imprisonment for six
months and one year respectively.
Regarding the destruction of surcharged
stamps, the Fiscal says the amount sent to
Havana was $552, 900, and the amount sold
1928, TAO. leaving S299, ,260 as the balance to
be destroyed. Nicely reported that he had
destroyed stamps to the value of $392. 500,
leaving 500, ,249, which was used to make up
the deficit of actual money stolen from the
receipts

New Men.

With the exception of Daniel J. Hesson,
who very acceptably represented in partCarroll
county in the Legislature of 1898, M. Theo.
Yeiser, very competent county surveyor, and
John E. Masenhimer, the very efficient and
careful county treasurer, every nominee on
the Democratic ticket is a new man before the
people as a candidate Not one, with the
exceptions noted, was ever before nominee
for public office. They are fresh from the
people and know the peoples needs. They
are not party hacks, nor chronic Office seek
ers. In most instances they were sought
out, and did not seek preferment. All were
nominated by regularly chosen convention,
and should receive the votes of all Democrats
in the county. Besides the regularity of their
nominations, all are conspicuously competent
for the places TO which they have been nomi-
mated, and will no doubt receive willing
endorsement at the polls on November 5th

Meeting of Democratic Candidates
and the Central Committee "A
Vigorous Campaign to be
Waged.

In response TO a call by Chairman Fink, of
the Democratic County Central Committee,
a majority of the members of that Committee
and all the nominees except one on the
Democratic ticket, including Comptroller
Herring and VIM. H. Thomas, Esq, met in
the grand jury room at the Court House last
Monday. All the districts were represented
bv committeeman except Mt. Airy. The
meeting was full of enthusiasm and all the
speeches ELECTED applause. After an inter-
change of views, and the pledging of earnest
work from all, a plan ofcampaign was mapped
out and a number public meetings arranged.
If the work is accomplished as agreed upon
there can be no doubt as to the success of the
local ticket and good majority for the State
and judicial candidates given. And we have
no doubt that the campaign as mapped out
will be vigously prosecuted.
Chairman Fink is intensely in earnest III
directing the campaign and his speech al
the meeting infused new energy into the
work and inspired hope of successful
issue-in fact, it aroused feeling of conf
dence that the whole Democratic ticket would
be elected.
The committee and candidates separated
with bouyant feelings and resolved upon en-
ergetic and systematic work from that moment
until the polls close on November 5.

The Democratic Party and the Negro

Hon. Murray vandiver in Baltimore Sun.
The Democratic party does not intend
and would not, under any circumstances
deal uniustly with the colored population, but
the fact is that the enfranchisement of this
race. so little prepared for citizenship. has re-
suited in all the States from Mary land south
in disturbing the peaceand good order OF every
community in which they hold the balance OF
power and where they regard themselves as
factors in controlling the policies OF State gov
ernment.
Thirty years ago they were enfranchised
without our consent and against our wishes,
For purely political purposes they haze been
consoIidated taught and coerced to Uote an
solid pltdlanr against the Democratic party,
thus making for purely partisan purposes
race issue 1t has resulted, as was inevitable,
in inducing the ignorant and vicious elements
of this race to believe that the political sue
cess of the party to which they are attached
means license to disregard all the rules which
are necessary for the peace and order OF the
community.
This condition is recognized everywhere
where they exist in large numbers, and the
States south of us have been compelled, with
the approval of the best thought of the country,
to eliminate them as factors until such time
as they shall have reached the point where
they can exercise their citizenship with dis
cretion and prudence and without race pre-
iudice. In other teords, the Anglo Sdrons an
Maryland, as an Virginia, 1oiU control and
shane the destiaies of the Commonwealth. 10
those of us in Maryland this condition appeals
with peculiar force. 1t must be met and dis
posed of in such manner as to prevent the
control of the State from passing out OF the
| hands of the white population.

From the Littlestown, Pa Jeffersonian;
The Westminster Advocate is doing splen-
did service for the Democratic party in Car
roll county particularly and in the state as
well. The election this year is most inn
portant one for the Democrats in both Car
roll county and in the state. A United States
Senator is the stake. 1t is, therefore, imper-
atiyely necessary for every Democrat to be up
and doing and watch for tricks by the Repub-
licans, who can defeat the Democratic nomi-
nees only by trickery. The Democratic nom-
inees are all good men.
Every Democrat in Carroll county should
be fully alive to the urgent necessity of voting
for every candidate on their ticket this fall.
But especially important is it that every can
didate on their ticket for House of Delegates
is voted for The United States Senatorship
may depend upon the loyalty of the Carroll
county Democrats. The Republicans are
making tremendous efforts to elect Repub-
licau TO the Senatorship. So be up and do

A Negro Dimes with Roosevelt.

Negro influence is Democratic bugbear,
say Republican organs and orators. Presi-
dent Roosevelt entertained Booker T. Wash
iugton, Southern Negro, at dinner at the
White House Wednesday night. This is not
only an evidence of Negro influence in the
Republican party, but it is an entering wedge
to social equality when the head of the re-
public entertains Negro at dinner.

Begging Votes.

Republican candidates are around begging
votes. Not one can win except by obtaining
Democratic support. When one comes TO a
Democrat the Democrat should ask him in
what respect is he better fitted than the DEM
ocratic nominee. Ask him, also, how long he
has been in love with Democrats.

The Republican Party's Existence.

The Republican party in Maryland would
have no existence were it not for the solid
colored VOTE Being thus absolutely depen-
dent on that vote the managers of the party
must of necessity be more or less subservient
to their colored allies, and it is manifest.
therefore, that they cannot exercise that
wholesome restraint over the lawless and dis
orderly element of their party, which is ne
cessary for the peace and good order of the
State.
