LEGAL GIANTS T0PROBE ELECTION
Determined Fight Will Be Made to
Gain Control of the State.

Determined Fight Will Be Made to
Gain Control of the State.
With the state election nearly
year off the Republicans are prepar-
ing for the fight and are mapping out
plan by which they hope to defeat
the Democrats in those counties
wherein the Wilson bill is operative.
Under the provisions of that act the
names of the candidates for office in
certain black belt counties must APP
pear on the ballots without party des-
ignatiOns. The act is operative in
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Fred
erick, Garrett, Kent, Prince George.
St.Mary, Somerset, Talbot and Wor-
cester counties, and in each of these
the ballots next year will contain the
names of the candidates for state Of
fees, for the Legislature and for the
various county offices.
At the last election but two marks
were required on the ballot-one after
the names of the Presidential candi-
dates and one after the congressional
cardidate-and the illiterate were
easily taught to make these two
marks. To vote for full Republican
ticket at the next election it will be
necessary to make from six to twenty
marks on the ticket-varyipg in the
different counties according to the
number of local officials to be chosen.
The constitutional amendment will
also be placed on the tickets and will
require an additional mark "for' or
against
To circumvent the apparent effort
to confuse the illiterate vote the Re
publicans have been discussing vari-
Gus methods, and plan has been for
mulated to nominate only one man
on the ticket in counties heavily pop
ulared with negroes, so that they can
be taught to vote for that nominee
and against the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ing only two marks, the same number
required at the election of last week.
This will not be done in Frederick
and Garrett counties, which have hold
over Republican senators, but the
plan will be used in the other Wilson
bill counties. Successors are to be
chosen for Senators Gray, of Char les;
Wilson, of Prince George; Greenwell,
of st. Mary,s: Dixon, of Talbot, and
Moore, of Worcester.
In each of these counties the meth
cd to be used by the Republicans will
be to name only candidate for the
state Senate, and teach the illiterate
to place marks after his name. Three
of the retiring senators are Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans. but by
this method the Republicans hope to
return five of their party to the up
per house of the Legislature. Four
of the holdover senators are Republi-
cans, and with the five from the Will
son bill counties the leaders hope to
have nine sure members of the
body.

this was the final step in the organiza-

Gustaf Esmann, the author, who to-

cupied quarters in the Central Hotel
in Copenhagen was found dead on the
afternoon of Sept. with revolver
shot in his neck. In the adjoining
room his sweetheart was found lying
in her bed, the blood flowing freely
from a wound in her breast. AS near
as can be ascertained Miss Hammerich
first shot Esmann and then herself.
The woman died within a few hours
at the city hospital, but never regained
consciousness. Esmann had been sep
aratpd from his wife number of
years, but it is thought that he and
his wife had made up again and that
this was the reason why Miss Ham
merich shot herself and her lover. Miss
Hammerich was woman of culture
and education and had completed a
medical course in the University Of
Copenhagen.
