baltimore, Nd, Oct 30,--At a Demo-
cratic mass meeting held tonight at the
close OF the campaign, speeches were
made by Edwin Wariield, the candidate
for governor, and a nupber OF leading
Democrats, including United States
Senator Arthur p, German. An inn
mense crowd was present, and the
speaking was preceded by stereopticon
views Illustrating the association Of
whites and negroes at the late Repub-
llcan state convention. The most JIM
portant address OF the evening was that
OF Senator German who, In addition to
his advocacy OF the state ticket and his
excoriation of the Republicans, referred
10 President Roosevelt and the race is
sue as follows.
"Ordnarly the result Of the state
election concerns the people Of the state
alone. It's only bearing upon national
politics Is the fact that the legislature
10 be elected will elect a senator TO rep
resent this state In the senate OF the
United States. But circumstances and
occurrences which have been forced
upon us make the result this year of
more than local import.
THE extraordinary unusual, and,
think you viii agree with me, unfortu-
nate activity and interest displayed by
the president OF the United States in
participating In his partys councils by
calling TO Washington the prominent
Republicans of this state is such an un-
called for Interference In our domestic
affairs that it must be met with no
uncertain protest by our people.
81 have great respect for the presi-
dent. He ought not to be lightly or I'M
justly criticized. But lovers Of liberty
must enter their earnest protest when
ever high officers of the government ex-
eTcise powers or commit acts which
tend TO restrict the rights Of the people
or unduly interfere In matters OF state
concern.
president Roosevelt Is a man OF fine
attachments and of honest convictions.
He Is young In years impulsve, ambl-
tious, Is partisan and believes In his
party. In his anxiety for its success he
is liable to make mistakes, and in my
judgment he has committed most
grieyous error in forcing to the front
an issue which must be deplored by
all the conservative men OF the coun-
try

sue has arisen Il has always carried in
It's wake lamentable results; II has been
attended by evil consequences. / trust
his earnestness and impetuosty may be
restrained ana that he may be pre-
vailed upon to accept wiser council In
his treatment OF the negro problem
From the day a cargo of Africans
was landed and sold as slaves until this
hour, the burden of the white man OF
this country has been more than that
borne by any people known to history.
II was one Of the causes which led 10
Il most gigantic war, which drenched
the country in blood, destroying many
homes and impoyerishing gallant
people.
Immediately after the close Of the
war came the adoption of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments which
enfranchised the blacks Tor party pur-
poses alone, and thus injected into the
body polite a people unprepared and
united for self-government.
The Ango-Saxon has never and will
never tolerate the social equality or the
political domination o. the negro race,

constantly doing something, has made a
