Mr.. Mccullough said in part If
til" signs of the times do not fail he will
b" the next Senator from Cecil county
That he would stay, if elected. on the
floor of the Senate halls until death
came before he would cast his ballot 10
take any mans vote away from him.
Would vot" and work for lower State
taxes, better public schools and better
public roads"
State Senator Williams in part said =
There is an effort being made to make
this State Il onc-party State. Such ar
fairs would be bad for amy state or
county. When one party has such Il
majority as To make II state II one party
state, people fail 10 take an interest in
politics because. they say. there is no
use of them going to the polls to vote,
as the election will surely 90 the way
the Onicc-ScckcrS wish it. One party
power worked bad in Maryland. prior to
1899, and works bad in Pennsylvania and
New York CITY now. When the Mary
land Democratic leaders saw themselves
in danger. they began to tamper with the
ballot and suffrage. In the last State
campaign the Democrats could find no
fault with Republican administration for
tn" fOUr years beginning in lS9I. and
I'll" Democratic leaders promised to he as
good aS the Republican party. if the pco-
pl" would restore them to power The
Democrats tampcrcd with the school
boards of the State. and their promised
reforms proved To be only Il sham. BY
the State going Republican last Presi-
DENTAL election. showed the Democratic
BOSSES that they could not control the
people. and therefore they got the Flee
tion Law passed ut the extra session of
the legislature. They combined the in
trlpStS of all otiice-Sceking classes in
order to get this law passed EX-Senn-
tor GormHu WAS one of the most inter
cSted in having the Election Law passed.
If any amendment was offered To the
Election Law by the Republicans which
was thought to be substantial, the Dem
ocratS would vote it down. and then
adopt il later after Il Democratic Senator
had offered tn" same amendments in
probably little different shape. Tn"
Republican party compelled RaSin to
put back into the Treasury $4,000.
which he had wrongfully kept from the
people of Maryland. The Republican
Hon. Thomas Parran spoke of the
Democratic negro bugaboo. and the in
famous work of the extra session of the
Maryland Legislature.
