The Campaign Opened.

The Democratic Club Of Kensington, this
county, opened its campaign on Thursday
night of last week with an open meeting In
the town hall, that place, preceding which
a large Parker and Davis banner was spread
TO the breeze amid cheers and the playing
of 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" by the Ken
slngton Brass Band. The banner floats
across Montgomery avenue between the
town hall and the plaza, and is an Amer.
lean flag, 1s by 90 feet, with the inscription,
"Kensington Democratic Club, Parker and
Davis"
The meeting was well attended, the large
auditorium Of the hall being filed to over
flowing with citizens from this town and
vicinity, as well as number OF ladies.
Walter A. Johnston, the president OF the
club, presided, and among others seated up
on the stage were Isaac Loeb Stratus, Greed
M. Fulton, J. E r. Wood, Edward @. Peter
and Robert G. Hilton.
The president in his opening address out
lined the work Of the club in Its efforts for
State and National success in past cam
paigns aud pledged its energies for the pres.
ent contest. He then introduced Mr.. Greed
M. Fulton, Of Washington, who in logical
man ner spoke of the ideals and aims OF de-
mocracy. The next speaker, Mr.. Isaac Loeb
Straus, OF Baltimore, reviewed much Of the
political history Of the nation and dwelt
upon the struggle OF the founders of democ
racy against the GENERALIZATION of power in
a federal government. He voiced the senti-
ment of the preceding speaker In his denun-
citation OF the tariff.
Mr.. J. 4. Il. Wood, Of Frederick, was the
last speaker, and he confined his remarks TO
issues OF the present campaign, which, he
said, were many. The speaker stated that
he was against the holding Of the Philip.
pines, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the acqu isition
of the Panama canal, and in other ways
differed from the course the present admin
Istration has pursued.
The club will hold four such open meet
ings during the campaign, and has the prom
ise Of Gov. Warield to speak at one of them.

Initiative In Maryland.

The following historical matters Of world
wide fame were pointed out by Gov. War
field In his speech at st. Louis on MARY
land Day" as having their initiative in
Maryland;
Maryland took the initiative in many i'm.
portant matters Of legislation.
She passed the first law to naturalize a
foreign-born citizen.
She was the first State to recognize by
law the possibility of steam navigation.
1t was In the Senate chamber Of the old
capitol, now standing at Annapolis, that
Washington resigned his commission as
commander-in chief of the army.
1t was in that hallowed chamber that the
treaty of peace with England, which ended
the war, was ratified by Congress.
II was In that same historic chamber that
the initial convention was held to promote
the organization Of more permanent gov
eminent.
Maryland was the cradle of the Presbyte-
rian church in America. The first regu.
larly constituted church of the denomina.
ton In the United States was erected at
Rehobeth, Somerset county, now Wicomico
county, with the Rev. Francis Mackenzie as
Its first minister.
1t was in Maryland that the first bishop of
the Episcopal church consecrated in Amer
lea resided-Rt. Rev. Thomas John Clagett,
bishop Of the diocese of Maryland.
1t was In Maryland that the Methodist
Episcopal Church of America was estab-
lished and the first house of worship built
by that now powerful Christian denomina-
ton.
In Maryland Is the Oldest Roman Catholic
diocese In the United States-the archdiocese
of Baltimore. The first archbishop of that
church in this country was q Marylander,
and 1t is fitting that the name Of Archbishop
Carroll should be linked, in State pride,
with that of his kinsman Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, the signer of the Declaration of
Independence.
Maryland to day is the head of the Ro.
man Catholic hierarchy. Representing that
church we have in Baltimore its only Car
dinal 10 the United States-Csrdinal Glib
bons, that man of simple and pure life, true
Americanism and high patriotism.
1t was in Maryland waters that the first
steamboat was floated. 1t was invented by
Marylander, James Rumsey, twenty five
years before Fulton launched the Claremont.
1t was in Maryland that the first steam
railroad In America was built and the first
electric railway in the world was operated
1t was in Maryland that the first iron
plates for shipbuilding were made.
1t was in Maryland that the first tele-
graph line In the world was constructed
and the first water company and the first
gas company were organized.
Maryland is also taking her place in the
front rank Of manufacturing States. Her
output of manufactured goods amounted
last year to $942, 762 800.
The mineral resources Of Maryland are
extensive, and but partly developed. Iron
ore is abundant and of good quality. Lime
stone and marble of fine quality, and gran
lite unequaled, are profusely distributed
throughout the State Her coal mines arr
practically inexhaustible and yield NOR
than 5000 900 annually.
