The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1904-02-06

A corrupt practices bill has been intro
duced into the Legislature. Il Is intended
10 abolish the corrupt use Of money IN
elections. In addition to an attempt to
regulate individual expenditures Of eandl-
dates for Office, ii provides heavy penalties
upon corporations who contribute to secure
the nomination or election Of any person.
While we have an idea that corrupt
practices act will be Intellectual to abate the
corrupt use OF money in primaries and
elections, still the bill should be passed.
It certainly viii not encourage the use OF
money for corrupt purposes, though u
might encourage lying, for no person ear
hold an elective Office without having made
out an itemized statement Of his campaign
expenses and swearing to it.
The use of money is 50 general that
thousands of voters look forward to prima-
mes and conventions as times, not for
s'turniag an honest penny, but for lift
ing a Ege, ten or twenty dollar bill.
We have misgivings as to making men
fair and honest BY legislation. There is
plenty of Law now against bribery, but the
practice is so general, by both parties, no
grand jury will undertake to make indict-
ments, and evidence would be difficult to
obtain. Besides, the man who would sell
his vote would be given little credenee
upon the witness stand.
Still, it may be as well as not to pass a
corrupt practices act. Its efficiency can be
tried. Any act tending TO lessen the cor
rupt use of money at primaries and cleo
tons should be welcomed by all upright
man

Mr.. Rayner Chosen.

Hon. Isidor Rayner was elected United
States Senator by the Legislature on Thurs
day to succeed Senator McComas, whose
term expires on March 4, 1905.
The election was in accordance with the
decision of the Democratic caucus the
night previous
The greatest satisfaction over the result
is that the contest is ended. We have
always believed, and still believe, that the
majority of the thinking, conservative and
working Democrats of Maryland were for
Elk Governor Smith, and we still believe
that the former Governor would make a
more valuable representative in the Senate
than Mr.. Rayner,
Mr.. Rayner's selection in caucus was
the result of combination of a number OF
politicians Raisin, jackson and Miles
the cowardice of certain Democrats, who
did not vote as their judgment dictated,
and the bulldozing and coercive course OF
the Baltimore Sun, paper that did not
turn hand for the election of the Demo
cratic legislative ticket, but stood neutral
in order to get both parties to use Its col
umns fc, political articles at twenty-five
cents a line That paper this year may
support the Democratic ticket, but in 1905
it will be standing pat for twenty-five cents
a line
Money-somebody s-played a part in
the election of Rayner also, and instead Of
the predicted hearty congratulations from
their constituents for the Rayuer supper
tiers, many of them will only see the halls
of legislation at Annapolis again as spec

Foraker's Amendment.

Senator Foraker, of Ohio, has introduced
a hill irto the Senate 60 amend the Anti
Trust law, and it has been much discussed
by members of both houses Of Congress
Sentiment is divided upon it, but the pre-
ponderating eoncensus of opinion seems to
regard the amendment as almost destruc'
tive of the good features of the Antitrust
law
Attorney General Knox, in discussing
the effect of the amendment, says 1t would
repeal Section of the act to regulate COM
merce, which is popularity known as the
anti-pooling clause That section makes
it unlawful for railroads to pool their earn
ines or divide their traffic As such pools
were always held to be violative of public
policy, they we're held to be unlawful at
common law. But as the States had COM
mitted to Congress alone the regulation Of
interstate commerce the rule of the com
mon law could not be applied to that com
merce until Congress acted, which 1t did
in the act to regulate commerce,
The amendment also proposes to repeal
the Interstate Commerce law and the Anti
Trust, says Mr.. Knox, so far as foreign
commerce is concerned. This would re-
suit in giving foreign commerce an advan-
tage over our domestic commerce. BY
means of such power the tariff protection
will be largely nulhfed. 1t Is well known
that the steamship companies and railroads
have in instances combined 50 that foreign
traffic has been carried from Berlin to
Chicago at rates 60 per cent. lower than
similar goods made in this country could be
transported from New York to Chicago.
From these observations it would seem
that Senator Foreakr's amendment Is IN
tended to strengthen rather than restrain
trusts. AS Mr.. Foraker is a strong sup
porter of Roosevelt, and Roosevelt las
made some severe speeches against trusts,
the Foraker amendments intended, some
persons believe, to appease the trusts to-
ward Roosevelt.

RAYNER's STRONG BACKING
A Baltimore Financier Says Gould
Rockefeller interests Helped


From the Baltimore Herald. February 1.
A Baltimore fnancier who has watched
the senatorial contest, said to Il Herald re-
porter last night, after reading the details
of the caucus:
The Gould Rockefellow interests won,
Just as they have been doing in most Of
the recent contests with the Pennsylvania
Il is another proof Of their wonderful skill
in politics as well as their success in finance
You will notice that FIX Gov. Jackson be
gan the break to Rayner The Jaoksons
owe large part of their fortune 10 work
done for the Standard Oil Company Mr.
Rayner Is the Maryland counsel Tor the
Western Union Telegraph Company-toT
the Gould interests, if YOU understand the
situation.
Gould and Rockefeller are now togeth-
err and they have thrown their interests to
Mr.. Rayner That is why Senator Cor
man was unable to carry out his plans for
Mr.. Carter. who Is probably the ablest
lawyer now in the employ Of the great
Pennsylvania corporation.

highest mark for many years, selling at
about III cents pound has taken
slump, and as the prices dropped many
spectators lost fortunes. Coffee has
dropped also, while wheat has been soar

CIRCUS: DAY DANCE

night of MONDAY, July 18th, at
the BoWery. Everybody invited.

After the regular program had been
finished collection was taken up
and some exhibitions Of 'bronco-
busting" were given. But, whether
it was because the bronks were too
patriotic tocut capers on Independ-
+ence Day, or whether they had al
ready been partially "busted," at any
rate the animals were disposed to be
somewhat sedate and dignitied in
their movements, and refused to cre-
ate much excitement.
The quarreling, jockeying, rag
chewing and fake horse-racing that
have SO often accompanied racing
events in Emmons county were, hap.
PLY, in this instance conspicuous by
their absence.
The Linton Cornet Band discoursed
music at frequent intervals during
the day.
During the afternoon and at night
a dance was in progress In the build
ing that is being fitted up as photo
graph gallery. This dance was wei
patronized. At night there was alst
a large attendance at the Linton Or
cheStra'S dance in the bOwery.
