Not for many months has Marlboro
seen such an outpouring of people. Demo
Gratis were here from all over Prince
George'e county and many others from
Howard and Charles counties. In ad
dition there were number of Republi
cans including large percentage of
negroes, as Congressman Mudd and mem
bers of his iieutenats were on hand. Din
ner was provided at big booth for the
colored men, it is said, at the expense of
Mr.. Mudd.
This was Governor Wartield's first ap-
pearance on the hustings, and he met
with splendid ovation. In fact the
crowd was worked up to high pitch OF
enthusiasm and greeted ali of the spea-
kers with cheers and applause.

Mr.. Fillmore Beall, the Prince Georges
member of the State Central Committee,
opened the notification meeting, and in a
few words Introduced Mr.. German.
Mr. German paid high tribute to DR..
Hill, and referred to the excellent record
made by him in the House of Delegates
last winter. Mr.. German devoted the
greater part of his remarks to the race
issue, and dwelt upon the "black pall''
that hangs over the district. "This is
known as the Black District in the State"
he said, but l believe that now is the
time for the Democrats to win, and Dr.
Hill is the man to lead us to victory.
The people have willed that Mudd shall
be set aside"
DR.. Hill in his speech of acceptance at
tackled President Roosevelt's policy of
reckless extravagancies in expenditures
Ia his speech, Governor Warfield, re-
ferring to his presence at the meeting
said:
Il am here today, not as your Chief
Magistrate, not officially, but as a plain
citizen of the State, who has a veice in
the choosing of Congressman from the
Fifth district of Maryland am of the
same constituency that you are and like,
you 1 am personally Interested in the
selection of good man as our represen-
tative in the next Congress.
''My party has named as its candidate
such a man, son of this old and historic
county. heartily indorse that choice,
and I have come to tell you what I know
of Colonel Hills fitness for the place and
his worth as man."
mo better candidate could have been
selected. He is honest, he is capable,
he is safe, and in the arena of
national service he will prove useful and
successful, and will reflect credit upon
his native State.
"When in the past the votes of our
intelligent, thoughtful, thrifty citizens
prevailed in this district, they sent to
represent US at Washington men of such
ability, character, substance-such men
as Judge VIM. M. Merrick, Gen. Andrew
G. Chapman and Barnes Compton-in-
corruptible, true representatives of the
best spirit of our people.
Let us go back again to those good
old days and the good old ways, polit-
ically, of those days. We can so do by the
election of Colonel Hill. No Democrat
can give excuse for not voting for him.
Let every Democrat face the foe, with his
eye on the target. This is uot the time
for faltering, especially in Southern
Maryland. The election of Roosevelt
will be calamity to this section of our
State"
The Governor referred in glowing
terms to the Democratic National ticket
and to the platform of the party. Speak
ing of the tariff question, he refuted the
idea that the prosperous condition of our
country is due to the high protective
tariff of the Republican party. He claim
ed that the material advancement of the
United States is due to the country's
natural resources and to the development
of her water and railroad transportation
facilities. He continued
1.-The protection Of special interests by
the tariff is a perversion of the principle
of the taxation which produces a ftful
and feverish existence, subject to con-
slant fluctuations and frequent failures.
Whilst the tariff may not be the mother
Of all trusts, it is the mother Of many of
them, and the foster mother of nearly all
the others. 1t ties the hands of the
American consumer, while the trusts pick
his pockets"
