LET US GET BACK TO STRAIGHT
ELECTION LAWS.

In the recent election, MARYLAND
presented to the country the queer
spectacle of an election law which
permitted trick ballots in some coun-
ties and forbade them in others, The
election turned out to be so close that
a much smaller difference than that
which this manipulation of the law
was calculated to make would be suf-
ficient to reverse the result. If the
election in the country at large had
been close likewise, attention of this
spectacle in Maryland, with conse-
quences by DO means pleasing for
Marylanders to contemplate Even
as it is, the matter is not unlikely to
be made nationally conspicuous
through contest in Congress by Mr..
William II. Jackson, Republican can
dldate in the First district. The New
York Tribune discusses the subject
IN a leading editorial this morning
IN the course of which it says: "If
the Maryland managers had been
honest in their purpose to punish IL
hteracy and improve the suffrage,
they would have passed a general law
and enforced it in every Congress dis
trict. But their aim was neither Iegit
innate not honest, their single pur-
pose being to prescribe a section of
the State which, formerly Democratic
has in recent years become more and
more surely Republican. No meaner
or more despicable trick could have
been played by the Maryland Legis-
lature than this raid on the ballots in
these two offending Congress districts.
We trust that a Republican Congress
will make short work of the Demo
cratic victory won by this sort of
'sneak-thief politics." Is it worth
while for Maryland to make herself
a target for this kind of criticism?
is it worth while for the Demo
cratic party in MARYLAND to bear
the odium which responsibility
lNi VI lSh DdlIOlS anu Slllllldf per
formances carries with it? Is it not
clear that the best chance for the
Democratic party to retain it's hold
on the State is to be had by spurning
from itself utterly all alliance with
crookedness and trickery in election
matters? The Democratic party in
this State naturally contains a pre-
ponderance of the best elements in
our citizenship; but it is precisely
these elements that are alienated bv
offences against the principles of fair
play in elections. To make itself
solid with the people of Maryland.
the Democratic party has only to
make Itself clean and straight-to es-
chew the miserable trickery with the
suffrage that has occupied so much
of the attention of its so-called leaders
in the past few years.

MARYLAMD'S HONOR AT STAKE

There is no doubt in any honest
mans mind of the election of the Re-
publican national ticket in MARYLAND.
The miserable, petty pilfering which
occurred in large majority of the
election 'precincts will not deceive
anyone. That is precisely what the
election law was intended to do. In
stead OF ruffianism, which REQUIRES
courage and other devices which call
for certain amount of skill, the law
was, with brazen audacity, framed to
furnish basis for action to the most
stupid officials. 1t was put in their
powerful throw out enough ballots to
secure majority, provided they had
sufficient nerve to trample on the
rights of the citizens of this state.
That they had no idea of the magni-
tude of their task on Tuesday, or that
it would involve the Acknowledgement
OF some thousands of their own party
in evident from the uncomfortable
time that they have been engaged in
making up the returns.
An honest count of an honest vote
is soon made in the most remote con-
stituencies, but the Democratic mana
gers in this state have undertaken,
perhaps, the hardest job in their var
iegated political experience. With
the thousands of ballots cast ont uDon
one or another trivial pretext, and in
many instances without any pretext
at all, they are stilLholding back the
returns in more, than, one county.
They should be made to understand
at once that that sort of thing will
not be tolerated. The voters of Mary
land have rights which must be re-
garded. 1t should be made clear that
it is unsafe to attempt to suppress
the popular will. There are certain

Dawson's Majority 1922.

Republican headquarters at Par
kei sburg has complete returns from
every county in the state. Boone was
the last county to send in its vote.
The complete returns show Dawson's
majority is 10, 1872.
1t will remain at that unless chang
ed by the official count. Some of the
Democratic papers in West Virginia
still print the ridiculous claim that
Dawson's majority will not be over
5000. What earthly use they have
for persistently attempting to deceive
their readers is hard to understand.

The latter can appoint day for a

in the power of the Republican cleo
tors to meet and cast their votes for
the Republican candidates. They
can then follow the forms prescribed
by the federal statute, and their
votes will be in the custody of the
Senate until the count of all the cleo

The fatal illness of General Lew
Wallace will be learned with a feeling
of sadness throughout the country.
The author of Ben Hur and other
books, though mp in years, had been
looked upon as one who was likely to
be among us for some time to come.
His genius has left its impress upon
history through several volumes, and
his valorohs deeds in the war of the
rebellion have placed him among the
heroes of that period. Indiana has
furnished many notable characters in
the literary world, but none shone

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

POPULAR MAJORITY
NEARLY 100000.

President Roosevelt Beats Parker BY
aVote Altogether Unprecedent.
The official returns from a few
states and unofficial returns and esti-

than twice as great of any other can
didate for the Presidency ever receiv-

The official returns, in nearly every
instance, have given Roosevelt larg-
er plurality than was estimated. If
the increase keeps up, he may have
1000, 900 more votes than Parker The
latest piuralities of the states are as
follows:
