The Nomination of Page.

To the Editor of The Baltimore American:
As Republican voter and worker Of the
Second congressional district, permit me
space to record my protest against the methods
used to bring about the nomination of Will
liam Tyler Page, as well as against the nomi
nation ITSELF The district was made Repub-
lican and has been kept so by the nomination
of representative men-men known 10 the
voters, known to stand for something and able
to command the confidence of the constitu-
ency.
We went to Westminster Tuesday prepared
to nominate that sort of man for Congress.
1t coud not be Blakeney for number of
reasons; but for one thing only it might have
been john B. Hanna, s. A. Williams or
Richard Dallam, of Hartford; DIR. j. j. Weaver
or Judge Reifsnider. of Carroll. or any good,
representative man from Baltimore county or
the city wards. The delegates were ready to
nominate such man, but to every suggestion
looking to that end the word came back that
Senator McComas wanted Page nominated.
Nobody in the convention knew Page, but
McComas was able from afar to boss the Job,
and his candidate was literally showed down
the throat of the conventional had to accept
him whether or no, because McComas COM
manded.
Needless to say, the Second district, which
heretofore has helped destroy D0SSlSm IN the
Republican party, does not relish such
methods as prevailed at Westminster on Tues
day.
Now, so far as the nomination is concerned,
there is little to say. The nominee is -un-
known to the voters of the district. They
never heard of him until their delegates were
called upon to vote for him. Since his nomi-
nation We have learned that for score of
years he has been holding Office at the capital,
trimming his sails to catch each passing politi-
cal breeze, so as to hold on to his job under
Democrats as well as Republicans.
Why such nomination when we might
have had Hanna, Dallam, Williams, Ref
snider or any one of host of other repre-
sentative men?
Why was the Westminster convention so
manipulated as to virtually make Fred Tai
bott a present of the Second congressional
district?
Considering the freedom with which Sena-
tor McComas' name was used by his recog-
nized lieutenants in forcing the nomination of
Page. it would seem to be up to him to explain.

Republicans of the First District
Not Harmonious.
From the crisaeld Leader. Republican


From the Crisfeld Leader, Republican.
There is no Disgusting of the fact that the
Republicans of the First Congressional Dis
trict are by no means united and as solid as
they should be- OF course the large delega-
tions to the Ocean City convention had the
tendency to make our Congressional nominee
feel that all was well all along the line, yet,
the fact remains that there were men in the
delegations from over half the counties of the
district who we're displeased with the local
management in their respective counties, and
who will show their lukewarmness throughout
the campaign ifsome step is not taken to bring
about genuine harmony. If Congressman
jackson would acquaint himself with the sit
uaton he would not put too much dependence
in the soothing syrup given him by certain
leaders, who are responsible for the present
state of affairs There has never been a time
in the history of the party of this district when
the outlook could have been more hopeful
than in the present campaign, and it would
be too bad for the nominee to suffer defeat for
the selfish attitude of certain selfconstituted
leaders. There is a lack of liberality. The
people will not tolerate bossism. And why
any man after securing fat plum for himself
should take upon himself the arrogance to
dictate the bestowal of other patronage we
cannot understand.
1t is certainly not for the good of the party.
The sole aim is TO rule or ruin, and il this
spirit continues, the ruin is sure to come.

Mr.. Benjamin Harris Camalier, Of st.
Mary's county, was nominated for Congress
by the Democrats ofthe fifth district on Thurs
day. Mr.. Camalier made the race against
Hon. Sydney Mudd two years ago and polled
over II, 900 votes, though defeated by Mudd
by about 5000. He is entitled to the cordial
support Of the Democracy of the district this
year. And if given earnest and undivided sup
port and an active campaign is made in his
behalf, he may redeem the district. The
natural Republican majority in the district
should not deter the Democracy. Larger
majorities have been overcome, and certainly
Mr.. Camalier deserves well at the hands of
the Democracy of the district. Mr.. Mudd,
by his autocratic sway has alienated many
Republicans, who will not regret a defeat for
him, and Senator McComas will shed no tears
if his name is eliminated from the roll-call of
the next House Of Representatives. Take
courage, then. Democrats of the fifth district.
Be vigilant and active and victory may crown
your efforts.

This is what President Roosevelt said in
speech at Asheville, North Carolina, on
Tuesday
good American is a good American, and don't
care a snap of my finger whether he comes from the
North or the South or the East or the West. If he
is straight and decent man am for him. and If
he isn't, am not,
When making up bis Cabinet and in filling
general positions the President did not see
any good Americans in the South. Perhaps
he did not look in that direction. In action
he is very narrow. In seeking the Presiden-
cy he is very broad-in words. Everything
in the South is beautiful and grand and the
people are 10 be admired for their courage in
war and energy in upbuilding their country.

Mimic War.

The most ridiculous business government
ever engaged in was that of the United States
government in its mimic war on the New
England Coast. The navy was supposed to be
foreign feet attacking the coast, and the
army was defending it. thousands upon
thousands of dollars in ammunition were
wasted and the benefit the performance was
nil and the whole thing was worse than child's
play. 1t was one ofthe plans fthe Strenuous
President, and of course was ridiculous, as well
as expensive. Three lives were also lost
by the explosion of gun, as one of the
results of this farce of attack and defense, and
a cruiser was injured by running upon rock

His First Appearance in Politics.

The first appearance OF MT Page in Baltimore
county politics was when he came as delegate
from the 18th district to the convention held here
Mr.. Page, then, has not won the nomination
for Congress by distinguished party service.
In fact he has not been in the district more
than six months, the 18th district of Balti-
more county having been included in the fifth
congressional district until the legislature last
March changed congressional district lines.
Until about three years ago, we believe, Mr..
Page lived in Baltimore City, and then moved
to ST. Denis, so as to be convenient TO his
work in Washington, where he has been in
Office for about twenty one years.

Pleased with Lead Mines.

Messrs. Ed E. Reindollar aud George d..
Birnie, of Taneytown. and William B. Thomas
and John H. Cunningham, of Westminster,
who in company with j. II. Watts aud David
Hanway, Of Belair, Md, recently went to
Southeast Missouri to look at some lead min
ing property, returned home last Saturday
They were more than pleased, and have is
sued statement in which they say
ssWe were greatly surprised at the extent
and approximate value of the properties, and
much more at the certain value of the I'M
mense and inexhaustible deposits of mineral
which are fully in sight.
The property is owned by the Mine La
Motto Lead and Smelling Company, and is
located in ST. Francois and Madison counties.
1t embraces 1854 acres, and 1854 are
known to be heavily mineralized. At present
three shafts are worked, producing daily 500
pigs Of 81 pounds each. Eight thousand acres
are under cultivation, divided into about 100
farms, which are rented for cash or on shares,
and the company cultivates about 2. 500 acres,
making specially of fine horses, mules, cat
tie, hogs and sheep. Thus the company has
large revenue independent of its mining
operations. There are 80 farm houses on the
property, 223 tenant houses, school houses,
4 churches aud stores. With the exception
of the churches, schools and stores, the build
ings are rented, affording another source of
revenue.
The capital stock of the Company is 49,
600, 900, divided into shares of $1,000. The
company offer about half of the stock for sale,
and expect to pay at least 8 per cent. annual
dividends, in quarterly payments. The pres
emf earnings of the Company, it is claimed,
warrant this statement. With increased cap
ital the earnings can be greatly increased.
Two new mills have been ordered.
The Company state that the stock will be
non -assessable, and that there will be no pre-
ferred stock nor bonded indebtedness. The
capital is only about $500 to the acre, and
the capitalization seems quite moderate.
All of those who went to inspect the prop
critics will invest in the stock of the Company,
thus showing their faith in the prospects of
the property.
