stead"
REASONS FOR MR.. TALBOTTSELEC-
TON.
The Baltimore County Democrat
gives the following reasons why MIR.
Talbot should be elected.
Because he is a Democrat, and
Democracy now means opposition to
the Trusts, opposition to Imperial
ism, and a reduction of the Tariff tax.
Democracy stands for Government
of the people, by the people and for
the people. 1t is opposed to placing
All arbitrary value on food, that the
Golfers of the Trust magnates may be
filled, and is in favor of a full coal
scuttle, the coal trust to the contrary
notwithstanding. Remember, that
-tenths of the Trust magnates of
the country are Republicans and the
one-tenth who are Democrats, vote
the Republican ticket because they
fear the Democratic prescription for
the treatment of the Trusts.
Because if elected he will be equip
ped and qualified to serve his constit-
uency intelligently from the day he
takes the oath of Office, as his past
service in the House of Representa-
tives makes him familiar with all the
duties of the office and he has an
acquaintance with public men of the
country second to no one.
Because he has an able and brilliant
record in Congress, having been one
of the pioneers in the advocacy Of a
new and modern navy, having advo-
Gated as a leading member of the
naval committee, the building of the
first battle ship, and having originat-
ed the idea of a Government gun
foundry.
because he is one of the best post
ed men in the country today on the
work Of the various Governmental
Departments, and this familiarity
with the intricate machinery of the
Government, which was of so much
Importance to his constituents when
he was a member, will still be ofgrcat
benefit and service to them if elected
this time.
Because ifelected his Congressional
will make him eligible for
the more important committees ofthe
House and he will not be handicapped
as a new member, and the influence
of a member depends largely upon the
of the committees upon
which he serves. MIR. Talbot, with
one exception, is the only Congress
man in recent years in Maryland
who ever served on an appropriation
committee.
Because the Second Congressional
District is one of the most important
in the State, and is entitled to a rep
For eight years the dis
trict has not been represented. 1t is
true we have gone through the form
of electing Congressman, but the only
knowledge we have that they ever
reached Washington was from con-
sulting the Congressional directory.
Elect Mr.. Talbot and he will be
as we'll as Congress
man.
Because he was one Of the most
active and useful members the district
ever had, he was able to accomplish
greater results for his constituents
than those who preceded or followed
him. His successful efforts for the
ofthe Susquehanna and
Elk rivers is but a sample of his eff
,iency as representative.
Because as member of Congress
he will represent all the people Of the
Second Congressional District. On
party measures he will be a Democrat,
out otherwise his time and influence
will be devoted TO his constituents
reference to party. No citi-
zen of the Second Congressional Dis
riot was ever disappointed who |
sought an interview with Mr.. Tai
oott while a member of Congress.
Because Mr.. Talbot is a man of
he people, affable, courteous and
'ainstaking, and always willing to
erve them, and if elected he will be
'eady at any time to render you per-
'onally any service you may require
hat calls for the assistance of MEM
Der of Congress, and to serve you will
De pleasure to him.
because he is Baltimore county
nan and Second Congressional Dis
riot man from birth. Heis one of us;
le knows our needs; he knows our
PEOPLE; we know him. Our interests
