SHALL GERMANY BE SOCIALISTIC /?
tuesday General Election the Most important Test of Public Sentiment
Since the War Of 187f-The Growth of the So
cial Democratic Party.

The overshadowing issue in the Ger
man general elections Tuesday was not
agrarianism or the tariff. or war and
naval expenditures. though all of these
entered into consideration. but the
question whether Germany shall be
Conservative or Socialistic.
1t is a bitter fight. The Conservative
factions brand the Social Democrats as

1898 polled 1885, 900 votes. the Emperor.

army OF men that they were "a band ot
fellows not worthy TO bear the name OF
Germans"
Again. after the death of Herr Krupp
the Emperor made IL evident that he
regarded the Social Democrats as IN
worthy malcontents: and so recently as
the great Frankfort Saengerfest, week
ago, his presence was taken TO mean In
part an electioneering effort for the
benefit Of the Conservative factions.
A great increase in the Social Demo-
cratic vote will therefore be taken as
a personal affront by the Emperor and
by the people at large as sign OF
want of confidence" in the ''militaris-
tic" regime.
The Social Democratic party has with
in the present generation. against many
drawbacks and endless prosecutions. be-
come the most powerful single political
organization in Germany. Yet, whereas
in France, the Socialists are practically
in control, sobered by responsibility TO
reasonably workable liberalism, In
Germany they are still regarded by their
opponents as political outcasts and are
correspondingly more embittered.
In 1874 Bismarck's famous repressive
laws were passed They were followed
by the suppression OF over hundred
periodicals, by 500 convictions for Ma

by an unprovoked assault Of soldiers and

Keep cheerful. work hard, gain

The Field of Politics
Williams to Head Ticket.

The Hon s. A. Williams. who former
ly represented Hartford county in the
State senate has finally decided TO be-
come a candidate for governor of Mary
land. subject to the action Of the forth
coming State convention. For several
weeks. Mr.. Williams friends have been
urging him TO consent to allow his name
to be used. and he has now yielded to the
request. There is little doubt that he
will be nominated by acclamation. as
there are practically no candidates
against him. The name OF the Hon.
Lloyd Lowndes. the only Republican
governor Maryland has had for many
years. was recently mentioned as a possi-
bic candidate. but as he is a warm per-
sonal and political friend of ex-senator
Williams. 1t is safe to say that he will
not oppose him for the nomination; in
fact. IT is said that there are positive
assurances that he will not. While the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
has not exactly gone begging this year.
still there has not been rush of appli-
cations for the place at the head of the
ticket. and 1t has only been after much
solicitation that Mr.. Williams has agreed
to make the contest.
Although Maryland was Republican by
several thousand on the basis of the
Congressional elections last year the
prospects for the election OF Republi-
can governor this year are not especial
ly bright. yet that party has a fighting
cnance. and with such a candidate as
ex-senator Williams, the chance is i'm
proved. rather than diminished. Should
he be named. as he doubtless will be. he
viii probably be able 10 unite the two
factions OF the party on the State ticket,
as both Senator McComas who leads one
wing OF the party and Representative
Mudd who commands the other are said
to be heartily in favor OF Mr. Williams.
He has a clean record. and is perhaps as
strong a man as the party could select
for the gubernatorial nomination.
The indications are that his Demo
cratic opponent will be the Hon. Edwin
Warfield. Of Baltimore. and in that event
an interesting campaign may be expect
ed In Maryland this fall. Both men are
able and have practically the solid sup
port OF their respective parties. 1t would
seem that the advantage is in favor OF
Mr.. Warfeld for the reason that when
the Democrats Of Maryland are united
upon their ticket they are generally able
to carry the State.
The contest is Of especial national i'm
portance for the reason that the result
is likely to have an important bearing
upon the Presidential election next year
II the Democrats carry the State next
November their chances for winning the
electoral vote in 1904 will be greatly i'm
proved, while. IL they lose their hope
Of placing the eight votes of the State
in the Democratic column next year will
be correspondingly diminished.
