Hush-a-By Land is beautiful place
For sleepy small people to go.
And the Rock-a-By Route is the favor
lite one
With certain wee laddie know.
The track lies on sleepers of feather
and down,
No accidents ever take place;
Though there's only one track. there
is only one train,
But 1t runs at a wonderful pace.
There are beautiful things to be seen
on this route,
If you're good you may take just a
peep;
But strange as 1t seems, they are seen
best in dreams;
So be sure that you soon go to sleep.
Say good night to the sun, for he's
of to bed, too
He can't hear you, so just wave
your hand;
The Moon and Stars they will light
up the cars
As you travel to Hush-a-By Land.
So. quick. jump aboard. it is time to
be off,
You have nothing to pay, you young
elf:
Just think of the luxury, laddie, yos'n
have
A whole sleeping car to yourself!

"DEFEAT JACKSON"

Mr.. Lynn r. Meekins, editor
of the Baltimore Erening Herald,
is a Republican. yet under the
above caption he came out in a
manly and forcible editorial
last Tuesday denouncing Will
lam H. Jackson as unfit for re-
election. The editorial is as
follows:
eff there is one duty above an
other in Maryland this year it is
to defeat William HI. Jackson
for Congress in the First dis
trict
There the issue is clear and
above board. Jackson stands
for a purchased election, for the
corruption of the ballot box in
a way that is open, fragrant and
unashamed He bought his
election before and he has Civ
en- to the people of the Eastern
Shore no record in public life
worthy of an honest mans re-
spect. He ispursuing the same
tactics as in his previous
campaign. His workers and
his few spokesman, whom he
has bought with his money,
have produced no argument to
show why a respectable citizen
should vote for him.
The continuance of Jackson
ism on the Eastern Shore means
more tragedy for Maryland citi-
Zenship than Addicksism does
in Delaware. In Delaware the
people have heroically kept Adj
dicks from his one ambition.
On the Eastern Shore they have
allowed Jackson to win. In the
name of justice and honor they
should not permit him to win
again"
