The Republican State Committee OF
Maryland is making what it pleases to
style thorough exposure of democratic
methods in this State. The committee
has issued an address to the people OF
Maryland describing in plain terms the
methods ofthe German machine in the
canvass of 1904. When the investigation
was started by the republicans it was with
the idea of contestiug, in the Electoral
College, the seven democrats who have
been returned. But it having been dis.
covered that the State must take the
legal steps to make such contest, and as
Governor Warfeld has already certified
the election of the sevenl democratic
electors, it is impossible to make the pro-
posed contest.

1t is said the Presidents safety ON his
recent trip to the St. Louis Exposition
was guaranteed by one extra patrolman
for each mile travelled. In all, counting
the crews on the presidential train and
pilot train, the secret service men, and
extra patrolmen, a total of 1928 officials
were employed to look to the Presidents
safety during his outing, which might be
taken to indicate that there is as much
political restlessness and danger to the
life of the chief executive in our great
republic as there is to the rulers in the
old monarchical countries, where at.
tempted assassinations are frequent.
