The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1904-12-15
NO CONTEST FOR MARYLAND VOTE
Republicans Will Make No Effort in
the Electoral College.

Republicans Will Make No Effort in
the Electoral College.
1t has been settled that there will be
no contest made by the Republicans
for the electoral vote of Maryland.
Within a few Gays Chairman Han
ma will issue a statement practically
in the form of an address to the peo-
pie of Maryland. This address will
recite the partisan character and IN
fairness of the present election laws,
and particularly of the Wilson ballot
law, which applies only to certain
counties, and was admittedly passed
by the Democrats in order to virtually
dIsfranchise illiterates in Southern
Maryland and in parts of the Eastern
Shore.
MIR. Hanna : statement will include
the result of the Investigations made
by him and the Republican advisory
board since the last election. This
will be based on reports made by pre-
cinct watchers and challengers from
about 50 per cent. OF the precincts of
the State, those from the Eastern
Shore being especially full, because
a more thorough inquiry was MADE
there to get grounds for a contest on
the part of Congressman William II.
Jackson. This will be largely a re-
capitulation, with more detail of state
ments which have appearedfrom time
to time in the newspapers. The trick
ballots used in some of the Wilson
bill counties will be reviewed, and
statementsfrom other counties show
ing the number of instances in which
the intentions of voters were evi dent-
ly defeated through technicalities
which caused the rejection of their
ballots will be tabulated 1t is eX-
pected to show that if all ballots in
tended to have been cast for the Re
publican candidates had been so
counted the whole eight Republican
electoral candidates and Congressman
Jackson would have been returned
elected.
The conclusion will be shat the on
ly way in which to get fair ballot
law will be to elect Republican Leg
stature next fall While the Republi-
cans may gain the House of Delega-
ties, and are practically certain to
do so ifthe Poe DISTINGUISHING amend
ment be pushed by the Democrats, it
will be more difficult for them to CON
/ troll the Senate, as there will be so
many hOldoyer Democrats in that
body. They clingto the hope, though,
that there may be enough fair minded
Democrats to join with them in re-
moving the abuses now existing.
/ This course, the Republican leaders
believe, will be more practical and
will result in more real benefit 70
/ them than a contest, which could
| gain them nothing and could. at best,
be only academic in it's nature.

When one of the contestants in q
game of skill or chance rises to his
feet, geSticulateS eXcitedly, SWears
hard, and begins to pound the table
the bystanders naturally conclude that
the game has taken a turn not at all
to his liking, and that he is impelled
perhaps in spite of his better judg-
ment to resort to means other than
the ordinary eXpedients of play to re-
store his fortunes. So too, when in
war one of the belligerents poisons
the wells in the neighborhood where
the enemy is encamped, that forbidden
and abhorrent act is accepted as an
Indication that those who resort to II
distrust their ability to overcome the
foe in honorable strife, and so employ
the coWardly and infra-human meth
DDS of the assassin.
Such thoughts as these have been
suggested in many minds by the pc
havior of the Republicans during the
past week On Monday, members OF
that party who were not absolutely
lost in the blindness of partisanship
spoke in generous praise OF Judge
Parker's manly gold standard tele-
gram. BY Tuesday praise of Judge
Parker was rarely heard from Re
publican lips, and by Wednesday all
Republicans seemed suddenly to have
got cross. Practically all Republi-
cans who have held office or who ex-
pect to, all who are in active relations
with the party organization, and Re-
publican newspaper organs almost
without exception, have begun as
through a common impulse and with
a common purpose to asSail Judge
Parker. They act as if they hope to
drown him in floods of detraction, to
burn him up in the hot fires of calum-
ny, to blow him away with the breath
of thousands of slanderous mouths.
We can imagine but one
reason for their sudden conclusion
that Judge Parker, whom all fair
minded men regard as a pure and up
right jurist and a rather unusually

abuse him. The gold-standard tele-

people. They applaud it, they admire

DRY ever started off in quite this way.
Unable to measure the strength or
depth of the current which upon the
surface is so visibly moving toward
the Democratic side, where all the
gold Democrats and great numbers of
independents have taken their place,
and really alarmed by the possibility
of disaster involved in this unprece-
denied campaign incident, the Repub-
icans all along the line have opened
fire on Judge Parker. They want the
American people to stop admiring
him, stop praising him, stop trusting
him, and to that end they calumniate
him. The excitement of their manner
and the violence of their language are
indicative of fright

SPECTACULAR TRUsT-BUsTING.

A special from New York to the
World says that for political effect
President Roosevelt has ordered the
Department of Justice, through Attor-
ney-General Moody, to advance the
Beef Trust case on the calendar of the
United States Supreme Court, in or
der that it may be tried early in the
October term. Months ago, the Presi-
dent declared that the beef trust was
''the most Ubiquitous illegal combina-
ton in existence he has permitted it
to go on robbing the people until such
a time when he thought his political
fortunes would be advanced by en-
force. Three government experts have
been investigating the Beef Trust and
their report shows:
First-That the Beef Trust is liable
under the law for contempt of court
in disregarding the injunction granted
by Judge Grosscup.
Second-That the Beef Trust is an
illegal combination existing in re-
straint of interstate trade.
Third-That the Beef Trust is or
ganized and controlled by a holding
company, similar to the Northern
Securities Company, known as the
National Packing Company, CAPT.
talized at $50, 100000 and organized
under the laws of New Jersey.
Fourth-That the Beef Trust alb
solutely controls the price of dressed
beef and arbitrarily fixes the price to
be paid for beef on the hoof.
These facts have been known to the
public for year, and demand after
demand has been made for the en-
forcement of the law. To all these de-
E.ands, the administration has turned
q deaf ear while the trust has been
putting up the price of beef and meat
and refusing to increase the pay of
their employees.
Are we to have a repetition of the
sensational political ''trust-busting" of
last year, which did not restrain a
single trust in operation?

DEPEND ON THE NEGRO VOTE.

The last Republican National Con-
vention made a stronger bid for the
negro vote than any of it's predeces-
sors. 1t not only opened the way to
reduce Southern representation in
Congress, thus delighting the negroes
who opposed the new suffrage amend
ment, but also gave a great ovation to
a negro boy and negro girl who were
put on the chairmans desk when
Roosevelt was nominated That was
Il scene that showed how far toward
social equality Roosevelt's action has
carried Repubicanism!
Why this new appeal to the negro
vote? 1t is because the Republicans
know they are absolutely dependent
upon the negro vote for success in No
vember. In a speech before the Dem
ocratc State Convention of West Vir-
ginia, Hon. Henry G.. Davis, not then
nominated for Vice-President, made
all this clear in the following state
ment:
I'm the coming election the Demo-
Gratis would be sure to elect a PreSi-
dent were it not for the negro vote, as

men.
In answer to a question of the New
York Herald as to the effect of a pres
idential election year on business, Mr..
+ c. Ogden, of Wanamaker's, made
the following sensible answer:
THE menace, so called, of the pres
idential election year to business in
general, it seems to me, is greatly eX-
aggerated. The condition of the coun-
try at the base is sound and our pros
perity is not likely to be upset in any
such way. 1 speak for the general
movement in merchandise, which is,
after all, the test of real conditions.
In Wall street, of course, a great many
fictitious values are perhaps disturbed !;
a great many bubbles are pricked, and
much sawdust has run out of the dolls.

Of the country is not SO easily dis
turbed.
81 can remember a great many
presidential years since L have been
actively engaged in business, and my
experience tells me that the country
at large has little to fear. There are,
OF course, times of great excitement
which we all recall, but even at such
times our government is so happily ar
ranged that precipitate action on any
one point is impossible. l have such
confidence in the power of our coun-
try to withstand all such disturbing
factors that l greatly question the eX
pedient of frightening the term of the
president"
The only argument for lengthening
the presidential term is to give the
president one term of six years, and
make him ineligible for reelection
That would putran end to the election
eering in the White House which, al
ways evil, has reached it's climax in
the present occupant of the White
House. Before he got the presidential
bee in his bonnet, he was a Civil Ser
vice Reformer of the first magnitude.
The buzzing of the bee has caused
linn to use patronage as shamelessly
az any of his spoils-loving predeces-
scrs, causing him even to reward Adj

"NANIE YOUR MAN."

The trend of the independent vote
the past ten days has alarmed the
Roosevelts and the Riis, and others
who thought a few weeks ago that
Roosevelt was child of destiny and
immune to opposition One of the
best evidences of. the fight they are
experiencing in this item from Oyster
Bay in the Sunday Tribune:
''In the last few days Mr.. Roose-
welt has received a number of letters
from Democrats in various parts of
the country, who are big men in
their party and who pledge him
&heir support. When the proper time
comes these letters may be made pub
lic."
Now this is a fake that will fool
nobody experienced in politics. When
any depth of water, goes over to
Roosevelt he is not apt to confide the
knowledge only to Oyster Bay clerks.
His detection is soon known in his
own State and alert reporters make
it known.
Democrats who pledge him their sup
port" are the sort who either have
made their connection with the pie
counter or are anxious to do so. There
is no reason why any Democrat who
believes in any single Democratic prin-
ciple should vote for Roosevelt. There
are Democrats who may not wholly
agree with Judge Parker but they
will follow the good example of Judge
Parker, who always votes the straight
Democratic ticket. whether he en-
dorses every line in the platform or
not.
The Oyster Bay man is hereby call
ed upon to name your man." If
you can't put up" it is proper to

A FORCED ADMISSION.

In his speech at st. Louis, Mr.. John
Sharpe Williams attributed the in
crease in the gold circulation to Prov
idence. He did not credit the Repub-
lican party with putting the gold in
the Klondyke, or with taking it out
shocked at this proclamation, for they
claim credit for everything that the
Almighty has done since 1896. Now
here comes United States Treasurer
Roberts, who gives past of the credit
to Providence, for he says:
Il think Mr.. Parker is entirely right
in saying that the gold standard is
firmly, irrevocably fixed. 1t is no
thanks to him that this is SO, but is
rather due to the policies of the Re-
publican party, aided by a Providence
which has uncovered large gold sup
plies"
Mr.. Roberts is in great danger of be-
ing communicated for giving Provi-
dence any share of the credit. He
will no doubt plead that it was a
forced admission, made because he
thought all the world knew that the
is responsible for the great
gold deposit, and he thought it would
help his party more to claim to be in
partnership with the Almighty. The
difference between Mr.. Roberts and
the other Republican orators and writ
ers is that they claim the credit for
everything good, leaving to Providence
only for cyclones, strikes
and disasters by food and field.
