New York, Dec. l7.-Cornelius n.
Bliss. high priest of protection. one
time president of the American Tariff
League club. and perhaps the most
powerful individual factor in raising
the sinews of war to perpetuate the
protective policy, has become con-
vert to the tariff doctrine laid down
in the last speech OF President Nc
Kinley. and has through the action of
the Union League club Friday night
struck the most effective blow yet
given in President Roosevelt's fight
for tariff revision.
The action of the club was largely
attributed to Mr.. Bliss yesterday, and
the alignment Of this most representa-
tive Republican club on the side OF an
investigation Of tariff iniustices was
regarded as the first open move in
President Roosevelt's war against the
stand patters."
Mr.. Bliss was in high good humor
yesterday, and he smiled cheerfuly
when asked to talk about the clubs
resolution.
Why, / wasn't there" he said. II
haven't anything to say about the
subject at all. You will have to ex-

Electors.
Baltimore, Dec. lI.--Complete and
Official returns from Maryland show
clearly that the real will of the voters
was defeated when the canvassing
board issued seven out OF eight cer-
tificates to democratic electors, The
highest vote cast for any candidate for
elector was that given TO Charles ].

ticket He received los,ts5 votes.
The next highest republican candidate
for elector received ios,sss. The
eight democratic candidates received
votes ranging from lO7,471. to lo7,s7s,
The lowest republican candidate re-
ceived l06.6S4. so that on the republi-
can side there was variation in the
vote for electors OF 2.SOS, to varia-
tion on the democratic side of only -
200. This difference can be accounted
for in only one way The Maryland
legislature at its last session passed
a law empowering the county authori-
ties in certain counties to take the
party designation from the official ball
lot and TO arrange the names OF candi-
dates for Office in any way they might
see fit. The law applied to counties
in Southern Maryland and on the
eastern shore. where republican ma
jorities were normally given. and was
intended to make voting as difficult a
puzzle as possible for the uneducated
voter. But In the counties where de-
mocratic majorities are usually given
the official ballot with the party de-
signations was retained.
