THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTION LAW.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, Oct. Goth, 1903.
Editors Of The Union I'm 1896 the Republi-
cans gave to us plain, straightforward election
law, reducing election frauds to minimum, and
under it we got ballot that was easily voted by
any man of common sense. The Democrats
were not satisfied and undertook to improve it
by giving us law that has been taken into the
courts time and again to determine what it
means, is susceptible of the grossest frauds, and
under which we have ballot that Is per cent
of our white men cannot vote so as to have his
vote counted. In few words the law has prac-
tically DISTINGUISHED over % 600 of our good cti-
zens for other offense than being insufficient
they have to vote. Is not this enough to make
well-meaning people vote for another Republ-
can Legislature?
But another view of it is the cost of the thing
One court in Baltimore has been engaged for
months in settling contest over the mayoralty
growing out of the loopholes for fraud and the
complexity of the ballot under the Democratic
law. This is at the cost of the taxpayers Here
in Baltimore county neither the election Off
master the complications of the law. They fix
ed upon one form of ballot, had it printed at
heavy expense, found it was wrong and had the
second one printed. An outside lawyer took it
up and showed how it was wrong, so that the
third ballot had to be printed and all this at the
taxpayers expense. Is not this greater ques-
ton to us than that of NEGRO domination ~
If the election officials, lawyers and courts
disagree about getting up ballot that the av-
erage farmer must understand before his vote
can be counted and we taxpayers have to foot
the bills for all these mistakes, will it not be
better to elect Republican Governor and
Republican legislature and get back the honest
and simple law the Democrats have taken
from us? INDEPENDENT.

MR.. VIM. P. COLE AND TALBOT.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, October 49, 1903.
MeSS7S. Editors The opposition to Mr.. Talbot
being so pronounced a number of the candidates
on his ticket are striving make it appear that
Jney are under no Obligations to him for their
WITH bis ends are ry these Id is ae xR
that he forced his nomination on Mr.. Talbot.
This presupposes great deal of ignorance on
the part of voters and is amusing to those who
are familiar with the long standing and close
political relations between the two gentlemen.
To show the folly of any such claim it is only
necessary to look at the complexion of the CON
vention that Endorsed the ticket now before the
people and called Democratic. Mr.. Talbot had
the ID 4th 18th, Sth, 10th. 1lth 12th 18th and 4th
districts, total of 45 votes out of the IS votes
that made up the convention, and as 45 votes
will beat 30 all the time he had no need of any
help from Cole, who had but votes that he
could control for all purposes. He may have
had some hold on the votes of the 1st Sd, 9th,
9th and 18th districts, but it was a very slight
hold after Col. Offutt lost the I'd district. Mr..
TalbOtt's hold on the Sd, 9th and 18th districts
was stronger than that of Cole and he, Cole,
could not have kept them from Talbot. 1t is
worse than idle to talk about Cole forcing his
nomination on Talbot in the face of this
showing.
The truth is that Mr.. Talbott's friends could
not induce him to cast aside his friend Cole he
was cajoled and threatened to induce him to
give Mr.. Cole the go-by, but he stood by and
nominated his friend and former close ally. In
the primary he refused to aid the opposition to
Cole and when the nomination was to be made
he would not listen to opposition to him, but de-
clared he should be nominated, as he was.
OF all the men on the ticket no one is more
thoroughly TalbOtt's nominee than VIM. p. Cole.

Missionary Services-Travels in the
Holy Land.-On Sunday, October 18th, mis-
sionary services were held at st. Peters Luth-
eran Church, near Putty HILL Belair road, of
which Rev. John Heinzelman is pastor. In

risburg. Pa.
Hetzenthin spoke in the same church to large
audience on his tour through the Holy Land
in 1898, when he and about two hundred other
Protestant ministers accompanied the German
Emperor and Empress to witness the dedication
of the great church at Jerusalem. He gave a
full description of most of the important places
visited, including Jerusalem, Golgotha, Geth-
semane, Dead Sea, etc.

F. Dwelling and Outbuildings Burned
The frame dwelling and several outbuildiIgs
of Mr.. G. f. Brochat, on the Hartford road,
near Hamilton avenue, were destroyed by fire
at an early hour on Sunday morning. The
estimated loss is about So, 600, and it is only
partially covered by insurance. Hamilton
Volunteer Fire Company responded promptly
to the alarm, but when they reached the fire
the flames had spread to such an extent that
very little could be accomplished. The fire.
men, however, did save two children who were
asleep in an upper room. They also rendered
good service in preventing the flames spread
ing to nearby property. The fire started in
the kitchen, but what caused it is not known.
The stable of Mr.. George Standenmayer, which
stood some distance off, caught fire and was
destroyed, causing loss of $500.

HAVE YOU heard a Democratic newspaper in
Baltimore county say word against the Spar
rows Point outrages? Not much. This was
a deep laid scheme that should put to shame
any honest party, but the cheeks of adamant
of the men who planned it arenot even blanch-
ed. Perhaps the honest voters will have some
thing to say about this next Tuesday.
THE REPUBLICAN party of Baltimore county
has no bosses, no dctators. Its ticket is COM
posed of new men, most of them of the younger
element. Give them a chance and see what
they will do. This is only fair and to the
average mind it must seem right.

The Republicans will hold rally at Butler,
on Saturday, October 31st, which promises to
be big affair. Their speakers have presented
the issues before the people in clear and
forcible way and no doubt the speeches on
Saturday will convince many honest Demo-
Gratis that the negro domination question is a
damaging one to their party. They talk like
the colored man is not human and that there
is no salvation for him. Mr.. Warfield weak
ened his chances when he took up the race
question. Messrs. Editors we are glad that
YOU have met so keenly with your editorials
the attacks of the Democratic party against
the lettering of the condition of the colored
man and have met the false issues the party
has raised. Every intelligent voter should cast
his ballot next Tuesday for the Republican
nominees to prove that he is above race preju-
dice and for the enlightenment of all classes.

Reform League distinguishing Steps
to Insure a Fair Election.-The Reform
League of Baltimore county held its regular
meeting on Monday night at the office of Mr..
John Hiltz, in Highlandtown. 1t was decided,
in view of rumors that the Democrats of the
18th district were going to employ questiona-
BILE tactics to carry the election, to procure the
services of a corps of watchers for each of the
seven precincts of the district on election day.
Letters were received from various sections
of the county indorsing the action of the league,
among which was a communication from
Mr. Charles ]. Bonaparte pledging his personal
support to the movement to purify Baltimore
county politics. Mr.. Bonaparte, in his charac-
teristic style, closed his letter by saying;
Baltimore county is an admirable field for
such league to work in and do not think
you need fear running short of business"
Mr. Hiltz president of the league, will per-
sonally supervise the disposition of the watch
ers on the day of election, five of whom will
be assigned to each precinct.

What Good Roads Will Do.-The Belair
-LEqis oflast week said: "Mr. N. ]. Hutchins,
of Darlington, recently hauled from Belair to
ChurchviIle two tons of fertilizer with two
horses. He was able to do this because of the
excellent condition of the highway which has
been macadamized through the beneficence of
the late William Woolsey. 1t illustrates what
good roads mean for the farmer and the saw
ing that could be effected should the proper
steps be taken by the next Legislature to
enact road law which would have for its
purpose the proper improvement of the princi-
pal highways in the different counties of the
State"
Mr.. Hutchins was formerly resident of My
Lady's Manor. He recently purchased fine
farm at Darlington that belonged to the estate
of the late William Woolsey.
