DEMOCRATIC SCHEME

Republicans are charging that the ac-
ton of DR.. Joseph Fl. Chandler in filing
a protest to Clerk of the Peace Quigley
placing the name of Preston Lea on the
Republican ticket was a Democratic
scheme. There is considerable evidence
to bear out these charges. They are an
xious to do all in their power to iniure
Mr.. Lea and place him in false light in
the community.
"The impression is general that the
filing of the petition Monday did not
strengthen DR.. Chandler but on the other
hand weakened him. The feeling is that
the protest filed at this late day could not
do any good. The only hope was that it
would injure the State ticket. However,
it is claimed that it acted as a boomrang
and that DR.. Chandler will feel the bad
effect.
"a well-known Republican, who was
one Of the original DR.. Chandler men
said Monday in talking about the matter:
II think that DR.. Chandler has made a
mistake. After careful consideration,
am convinced that the State committee
did the proper thing for the party in re-
moving him from the ticket. The State
convention which nominated DR.. Chand-
Ter delegated to the State Committee the
power to change the ticket. On account
Of the unpleasant charges made as a re-
suit of the Luke-Allee- Chandler matter
many persons thought that it was best
for him to retire.
"Much depends upon the Republicans
getting the governor of the State and
many of the friends OF DR.. Chandler were
panied to see him connected with move
ment calculated to embarrass the party"

REV. ELw00D BREAKS OUT AGAIN

Since his trial for preaching
the sermon just before the lynch
ing of George White, a little more
than a year age, the Rev. R. A.
Elwood has maintained until re-
Gently a more or less discreet
silence. But last Sunday he
undertook to give the Demo
cratic candidate for governor a
character of being in favor Of
local option. In response to a
letter from the Rev. Elwood, Mr..
Penniwell lodged the issue by
referring to his friends of Kent
County, and on the strength of
this Rev. Elwood says he believes
that Mr.. Penniwell will sign a
local option measure if the Cen
eral Assembly should pass one.
This is sure a maine statement.
1t is well known that Mr.. Penni-
wells election as Governor would
insure Democratic Legislature.
Does any one can any one be-
lieve that the Democratic candi-
dates from New Castle County
will vote for such a measure!
Will David G. Rose, the candi-
date for Senator from the Sixth
District do SO? His record an
swers, no. Will John B. Ma
loney the candidate for Repre-
sentative from the Eleventh
District do SO? He has refused
to say that he would. Will
Franklin J. Pennington, the
candidate from the District do
so? He also has refused to say
that he would. Will Edward
Hart, the candidate from the
Fourteenth District or Andrew
J. Wright, the candidate from
the Fifteenth District do soi
Like Mr.. Rose, their record
speaks for itself. No.
In addition to the impossibility
of securing action by o Demo
cratic Legislature, the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Penniwell owes
his nomination to the aid extend.

MARYLAND HUNTING LAWS

ELKToN, Mo-, October 3lst.-The law
prohibiting the shooting Of game in most
counties Of Maryland will expire to-mor-
row. "The Constable will get you if You
don't watch out ~ This is the refrain
that the Maryland Game and Fish Pro-
tective Association is trying to din into
the ears Of all the hunters. There seems
to exist in various quarters decided
misunderstanding of the fish and game
laws, particularly the game laws. Her.
bert Wilson, member Of the Executive
Committee Of the association, gives the
following summary of the law:
"a great many hunters go out into the
counties to hunt without having the
slightest conception of the obligation they
incur under the law. They seem to be
of the opinion thatif armed with a license
for nonresident hunters that all OF the
counties now enioin they have the free
right to trespass over the property of any
one without his permission. In this, of
course, they are wrong. A license to
hunt never conveys a right to trespass.
In every county, however, license must
be obtained by q nonresident. The
stringency of the existing laws is as much
for the protection of the landowner as for
that of the game. 1t tends to prevent
vandalism such as has been prevalent in
years. At present any Constable or Dep
uty Game Warden has the power of ar
resting hunters without a warrant il be
finds they are in violation OF the law.
Where the law exempts man from OBJ
tanning license upon securing the per-
mission of the owner such permission is
construed as written permission. With
out it the hunter is liable to be locked
up"
The following is summary of the
game laws In every county of the State
nonresident must secure license, ex.
cept that the landowner may in other
than the following counties give permis-
sion to shoot on the premises. Such per-
mission cannot be accorded In the follow
ing counties AlIegany. Caroline, Dor
chester, Garrett, Kent, Talbot, Somerset,
Worchester and Wicomico |; in all Of these
license being an absolute necessity to-the
nonresident hunter. In this county the
landowner may give nonresident per-
mission to hunt on his premises without
a license, but this does not give authority
to hunt on the premises OF others. And
in case the landowner or occupant OF O
farm does give nonresident permission
TO hunt on his premises it should be in
writing or the person hunting may be
arrested. Even il nonresident has q
license 1t does not give him the authority
to hunt on the premises OF any one with
out permission. =

that much the increase in value

aud pass some resolutions with
reference to our cotton, and as
coone has called a meeting for

in our interest. We must act
