rae MESSAGE

President Roosevelt's message is
not characteristic Of the man in many
respects, and he is careful TO
say nothing that will be calculated to
injure him with the trusts. At the
same time be tries to make those who
oppose the power Of the monopolies
believe that be is with them He is
outspoken in denunciation of the
men who have robbed the postoftice
department, bat the precedent he
when be turned Rathbone, the Cuban
pOstottice swindler loose, Is evidence
10 the accused that If convicted, they
may look for executive clemency.
That is the custom aud there is no
reason to believe that the president
will depart from it,
Western people will be interested
in that part of the message dealing
with the land frauds, and the change
proposed TO be made ia the land laws.
The president does IOt seem TO be
certain of his ground on this question
and passed it over without any
definite plan for settlement
The greater portion of his message
Is devoted to defence of his action
on the Panama question and his
efforts to explain why it is right tc
Immediately recognize a seeding
state that has quit South American
republic, Immediately after IL
mad established a defacto govern
ment, while we have not yet ceased
landing the men who saved this unioI
from disruption by secession, ar'

that portion of the message dealing
with this question one is impressed
with the idea that he feel
guilty Of wrong doing and is attempt
ing to explain his position for tn
purpose Of avoiding criticism
This trimming is not natural TO
Roosevelt and shows that the desir

diplomacy in couciliating those wh'

Where there is no very material con

course the partisan admirers of tn
president may not see these things 5
clearly bat II they will read tn
message over carefully without pre-

subjects will be apparent. Huma

command the respect and confidence of
his fellow men.
The local and Legislative portions of
the Ticket alike. are made up of well
known citizens of the county, who are
popularity recognized as men of eminent
fitness for the places Of trust for which
they have been selected.
With this excellent ticket. and strong
declaration Of principles, the Republicans
of the county propose to make an aggres-
sive campaign, in which they ask the
cooperation of every conservative and
independent taxpaying citizen of the
county.

WACHTER TAKES SIMILAR
VIEW.

Congressman Frank c. Wachter agrees
thoroughly with Mr. Mudd's view of the
case. He said =
Il do not think Senator McComas can
be reelected, for the counties which are
likely to send Republicans to Annapolis,
with the exception of those in Western
Maryland. are all against him. Nor do
believe that McComas can control the
State Convention. My information from
people in The counties. who are we'll post
ed, is that there will be many surprises
in the Convention. and that the Nc
Comas--Stone combination will find itself
sadly left when it comes to count noses.
I'm the city here our fight against the
organization is progressing finely, and
we firmly believe that we have them
whipped. | should say that three dis
tricts will certainly 90 against the or

we carry the three districts, there will

back seat"

Republican have either sent uninstructed
delegates to Annapolis or else have de-
