Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1903-10-17

Leaders,
Pleased wi,
Of Mr.. Wa
Associates.
That the Republics
ly scared over the situa
is evident from the fact

President Roosevelt has

campaign, and is using eve

ranks.
Last week he sent worS
Stevenson A. Williams to G

source is usually considered aVnr

the President summoned Ex-GoverE
Lowndes and Mr.. James A. Garry t
Washington, and sent out calls 70
later visits to Congressman Mudd ant
Wachter.

them next year. But every so-calld
border State that goes Democratic thi.
year will be a blow to his pride an0
prestige. as indicating a revulsion of
feeling among the people, and resent.
ment of his high handed and incon-
siderate treatment of the self respect
ing white people of the South. who
have dared to object to his policy of
coddling the negro and forcing him
down the threats of long suffering
white communities.
A great deal can be learned Of the
sentiment of the people by following
the course Of the State candidates as
they move from county to county. Mr..
Williams already bears the air of q man
upon whom the premonition of defeat
hangs heavily. Mr.. Whitelock's usual
buoyancy of spirit has largely departed,
while Mr.. Dennis has practically re-
tired to contemplate in shady back
ground the uncertainties of political
ambitions when the structure Of his
faith is founded upon the sands. TF
Democratic candidates on the 9th
hand are cheered and encouraged{
every hand by the warmth of
greeting, the size and enthus;sF
their meetings. and che spirit
and victory that is in the alf@

The Baltimore NeaCs, which is inclined
to regard anything Democratic with
the affectionate veneration His Satanic
Majesty is supposed to hold for holy
water, sent a representative with
Messrs. Warfield, Bryan and Atkinson
on their recent tour through Southern
Maryland. Here are some Of his obser-
vations:
"Another feature which pleased tho
candidates with Southern Maryland
was the seemingly entire absence of
discord among the Democrats there. In
not one of the counties visited was
there any complaint of disaffection,
while on the other hand there were
evidences of discussions among the Re-
publicans in ali the counties except
Calvert. These dissensions may -
appear before election day, but th
certainly exist at present, and they are
largely the result of the quarrel between
Senator McComas and Congressman
Mudd."
''Throughout all the trip it was
noticed that the meetings were attend
ed by groups of negroes who were
quiet and attentive listeners to- the
speeches. Curiosity to know what views
the colored men took of the race issue
as presented by Mr.. Warfield led the
News representative to interview Will
liam F. Brown and John r. Brooks, two
negro leaders of Prince Georges Coz
ty, who attended the meeting at Ur
Marlboro.
1--WE are Republicans said Bro
sand have no intention of voting al
other ticket, but am very much please,
with Mr.. Warfield's speech. There
was nothing in it to hurt my feelings,
and nothing that should in any way
offend any colored man. Mr.. Warfield
is perfectly right in advising the negro
to educate himself, and to work hard
and to attend to business"

observations, and said he believed Mr..
Wardeld was a true friend to the
negro.
The fact is the sincere, able campaign
that Mr.. Warfield and his colleagues
are waging is having its effect all over
the State Mr. Warfield gains the re.
spect and confidence of his hearers
everywhere. He does not shirk any
issues, and does not employ ambiguous
language. He talks plainly and to the
point.as business man he presents i'm
portant business considerations to his
fellow men. His natural courtesy and
comradeship makes him friends daily,
and the feeling Is growing that the
Democratic party has an ideal standard
bearer. an intelligent. manly, affable
gentleman of the old school, who was
nurtured on farm, won his way to
success through his own efforts, and
who never feels that his pnblic career
is on surer basis than when he is in
closest touch with the people.
