Three weeks from next Tuesday will be
election day. The campaign is now in full
blast in Baltimore county and both parties are
holding meetings nightly. Some think these
accomplish good for those holding them, while
others believe the opposite. 1t is the quiet
vote that tells the tale in the end.
AL the efforts go far exerted to get Mr..
Charles H. Knox to withdraw from the field as
an Independent candidate for County Com
missioner have proved abortive. He still
insists that he is in the field to stay and in
consequence there is an evident uneasiness on
the part of his former political friends

that their names-where they are qualified
voters-may be restored TO the lists.
ITO those readers of THE UNION who dis

apology. Our effort is not to say anything Of

| campaign matter that is published in these

that the campaign will not last much longer.

well.
->Some people entertain queer ideas about
voting with the ballot in use now. They
think, for example, if seven names instead of
six be marked for the House of Delegates that
only the vote for those candidates would be
| thrown out. This is wrong. The voting for
too many candidates for any Office Initiates the
entire ballot. See Pointers How to Vote" in

pa voter cannot have assistance in an

swears that he is either blind or physically

made the law endeavored to make it so that as

not an outrage what would you call it?
Should the Democrats win in Baltimore
county next month how in the world are they
going to fulfill the hundreds of promises that,
il is said, are being made for places 1t is GER

from that are being so lavishly promised ?
There are undoubtedly many disappointments
ahead, no matter how things go.
- That was a very pleasant gathering,
called Baltimore county Sunday school con-
vention, that met in Towson NJ. E. Church on
Wednesday. AS an Offset to the political
gatherings that yearly meet here this one was
an example Of harmony and good feeling that
must impress all favorably. If it were not for
the. good men and women who freely give
their time to such noble works what would be-
come of the body polite anyway? Such as
semblages are the safety valve that keeps under

US have more of them.
Fowble is Again in Trouble and is Shot
by His Son.-When Oliver p. Fowble, 9Th
district farmer, returned from the Democratic
barbecue at Mt. Carmel last Saturday evening
he INDUCED in family diversion by breaking
household furniture and using abusive Ian.
guage to his wife and children. A son, aged
16, demonstrated with his father, when the lat
ter left the house with threat that he would
get an ak and kill whoever interfered with
him.
When the father left the house the boy went
to his room in the second story of their dwell
ling and got his revolver, returning as the
father re.entered the house. Instead Of an ak
the elder Fowble had heavy bar of iron,
with which he assaulted his son. The boy
then fired at his father. The ball struck
large campaign button on the fathers coat i'm
medately over his heart, glanced and did no
harm. The boy fired three more shots, each of
which took effect in his fathers breast the
bullets lodging in the bone.
DIR. Frank Resi-, of Beckleysville, was sum-
moned, who located the Embedded bullets,
but Fowble would not permit an operation
for their removal. He suffered intensely and
DIR. James H. Preston, of Manchester was
called in consultation with DIR. Resi-. In his
present condition the surgeons fear blood
poison may set in and result fatally.
Several years ago Fowble attempted to muir
der his wife by cutting her throat. By strenu-
GUS effort she succeeded in freeing herself from
his grasp and escaped with serious though
not fatal wound.
Democratic Bulldozing of Voters.-The
Baltimore Herald of Thursday said: Three
officers from Baltimore county were at Spar
rows Point on Tuesday and arrested Clemens
Holcomh, John A. Murray, Joseph Crawson,
John H. Fowler, w. B. Babbitt and David
Blackwell, all colored, on the charge of illegal
registration. Inquiries at the Point by the
HerGlds correspondent shows that some of
these men have been at the Point since 1901.
It has been practice Of the Democratic Of
ficials to make arrests of this kind. The men
would be locked up until the grand jury could
attend to their cases, which would be after
election, when they would he released, and the
charge Of illegal registration dropped. In the
meantime the men would be away from their
colored men, who have been arrested at Spar
rows Point are locked up at Towson awaiting
hearing, which they will not get until after
November 3d."
The same paper. in its issue of Friday, 9th
inst, said 1.-THE Republicans say that it has
come to their ears from reliable Towson sources
that other arrests will follow in the next few
days, the motive being to incarcerate negroes
who are known to be Republicans until after
election day, in order that they may not have
the privilege of voting. Steps will be taken
by the Republicans to block the alleged
tricksters, and lively scene is promised when
the negroes are arraigned at the county seat"
County Commissioners and Mr.. Crosby
Have Little Tilt.-At the meeting of the
County Commissioners on Tuesday there &C.
Cured little tilt between the Board and Roads
Engineer Crosby. 1t came up over an order
of the Board directing that 81 800 should be
expended in repairing the Joppa road from
| Sherwood to Towson. Mr.. Crosby was of the
opinion that other roads were more in need Of
repair, and cited that 81, 800 had been already
expended this year on the Joppa road east
of Towson.
