THE NJ. AIRY KEYNOTE.
The Democratic Notification
Meeting

meeting at Mt. Airy, the Democratic
campaign struck its stride. and from
now on there will be no let up in the
battle.
Mr. Warfield and his running mates
on the State ticket will go into every
county and endeavor to address as
many people as possible between now
and Election Day. Chairman Murray
Vandiver has about completed the
itinery of the candidates, and the
list of speaking places be publish
ed this week.
Nearly all the thousands of en-
thusiastic Dem 0crats who gathered
at Mt. Airy know Mr.. Warfield per
sonally, but it was the first time that
many of them had met Mr.. William
$. Bryan, the candidate for Attorney
General. and DIR. Gordon Il. Atkinson
the nominee for Comptroller.
Both these gentlemen made ve.y
favorable impression.
Mr. Bryan is full of fire and vigor
that marks the man with a well
trained, active mind He is not new
to the stump, and his campaigning
methods are forceful and direct. He
is the type of the man who knows
what he wants, and takes the most
direct route of securing it. The i'm
preston made on a stranger is that
Mr.. Bryan is manly mana good
sort of man to tie to. He will make
friends wherever he goes.
DIR. Atkinson is type of the warm
hearted, genial country gentleman.
He is quiet in manner and devotes a
great deal of careful thought to any
subject in hand. One feels that the
finances and business interests Of the
State will be safe with him.
Democrats of the whole State, and
especially Baltimore City, are deeply
interested in the entrance of Mr..
Isidor Rayner in the Senatorial race,
and the fact that lie will canvass the
State in behalf of the ticket. His
logic and oratory will help to make
the campaign memorable one
Whatever views Democrats may have
regarding the United States Senator
ship all are glad of any help in the
matter of electing the State ticket,
and with Governor Smith, Elk. Gov
ernor Jackson and Mr.. Isidor Rayner
all valliantly working for the success
of the party victory is just that much
nearer.
The Republican leaders are greatly
worried because of the unsatisfactory
conditions in their ranks. The party
is badly split and it certainly does
not look now as if the factions will
get together.
A well known Southern Maryland
Republican to-day told friend that
Prince Georges County will give 500
Democratic majority. Reports dis
tressing to the managers of that party
come from other parts of the State.
While Congressman Wachter was
talking with some friends on the
street the other day a Republican
ward leader came up and said Frank,
you ought to come down our way and
get our people Strengthened out.
They are taking no interest in the
campaign and decline to register
"They are constantly coming to me
with appeals of that kind. remarked
Mr.. Wachter. Il can do nothing.
If the dissatisfaction was among the
office holding class we would have a
club to hold over them. These people
do not hold office, nor are they after
Office. They feel independentan free
to do as they please. If they are
sore and do not feel like registering
they will not do it, and nobody can
make them do it."
Then Mr.. Wachter told about a
local party worker in South Balti-
more, who on the last day of regis
tration passed registration Office
with a kettle of beer in his hand. He
went in to have his name enrolled.
What is your party utilization" he
was asked. "You may put me down
as a Prohibitionist this time" said
the Republican, and so standing
there with kettle of beer he was
duly recorded as temperance man.
If the Democrats do not win this
fall, they scarcely deserve to continue
longer as party. But to win means
hard work. The party in the City is
united, hopeful and full of fight.
The city ticket is excellent, and the
candidates are hustling. The Democ-
racy in Baltimore is looking for great
things from their county brethren.
Every vote made means that much
greater majority for Warfield and his
colleagues. Mr.. Warfield will make a
splendid fight himself but he cannot
do it all He looks for enthusiastic
work on the part of the Democrats of
your county.
A Purgative Pleasure.
