Anti-Negro Marylanders.
Senator Germans anti-negro policy
has the firm support Of ex-Gov Frank
Brown, of Maryland. who is organizing
Democratic Parker and Davis League,
with branches throughout the State The
negro is to be made the issue At a con-
ference Of Eastern Shore Democrats Mr..
Brown said:
The shotgun policy may not be pos
sible for us in Maryland. No man wants
to resort to 1t. but We must concede
that something has got TO be done, If
we want 10 maintain the supremacy Of
the white race I'm Maryland
over in Southern Maryland the ne
groes can completely dominate the situa-
ton whenever they wish. They can
elect negro legislators and any other Of
ficcrs they want. They have the votes.
In Baltimore city there are more ne
groes than in any other city "a the
world. Some ask why Baltimore does
not go ahead. IL is because one-Ifth
Of its population Is negro. and the city
would be better off If that much Of it's
population was not I'm existence. Mary

Third Parties Useless.
The futiIity of Tom Watson's Popu-
lstic propaganda of abuse. directed al
most equally against President Roose-
welt and Candidate Parker. has been
pointed out by Henry George, the wide
Unknown labor advocate Of New York
Since his fathers mantle fell upon his
shoulders after the first Seth Low Flu
sionis- campaign in New York city, in
which the elder George sacrificed his
life to the stress Of the campaign. the
present Henry George has been an aC-
tive participant in all civic and political
affairs Of his city and State.
Thousands Of voters with less time
and capability for investigating political
questions look 10 him Tor guidance. so
that his remarks may have a good deal
OF effect in helping Parker toward a vic
tory in the Empire State. The efforts
OF both parties TO corral the labor vote
in New York lend additional interest TO
a letter Mr.. George has written TO John
Dewitt Warner, coming out for the
election OF Judge Parker to the Presi-
dCncy and urging the nomination OF
Edward NJ Shepard for governor as a
means TO strengthen the Democratic
party in the State.
Views of Henry George.
Mr.. Georges letter, dated at Merriwold
Park. Sullivan county, is in part, as
follows:

and party Importance that Edward NJ
Shepard should be nominated for the
governorship by the Democratic con
vention at Saratoga on the 10Th inst.
His strong moral qualities. high
clear principles, splendid attachments,
and long training In public and legal
affairs fit him peculiarly 10 Al with
profit and honor to the State OF New
York and with distinction to himself an
office which for years has been degraded
70 the lowest standards.
Watson a Negative Evil.
TO men thinking as do there is not
only no good result to be obtained by
voting for Mr. Watson. the Peoples
party candidate for the Presidency
there is negative evil. While. despite
his opposing action. he IS a good Jeffer
sOnian Democrat, and while there Is
much progressive democracy I'm his plat
form. he has little chance even of max
ing a good showing at the polls. not &c
speak Of being elected.
The election lies between President
Roosevelt and Judge Parker and what
one or the other stands for must gov
ern the admiuiStra tive branch Of the
United States Government for the next
four years. In ms judgment. the cleo
ton OF Judge Parker is needed TO save
the Republic from imminent danger"
