UPPER MARLBORO, Md,
October II 1900
The long-deferred political campaign in
Prince George county will open with a
blaze next week, and during the brief time
intervening before election day il is ex-
pected that one of the liveliest contests in
the history of the county viii be waged.
Both parties have nominated their tickets,
and a meeting of the republican candidates
and other leaders was held today to ar
range for meetings and TO consider other
details. 1t was given out that not more
than three mass meetings will be held, the
first to take place next Wednesday
evening in Piscataway district.
Mr.. Francis S. Carmody. nominated for
the state senate yesterday, wore a happy
and contented smile today and expressed
himself as confident of success for the en-
tire ticket. He declared that practically
as many votes will be lost to the democrats
as to the republicans as the result of the
Wilson ballot law which eliminated all
party designat tons.
THE illiterate colored man." declared Mr..
Carmody, will, believe, attempt to vote
the ticket. while the white man unable to
read will not, but will remain away from
The polls
Mr.. Carmody was emphatic in his belief
that the Poe amendment would be over
whelmingly defeated.
The democrats will begin their campaign
Tuesday evening next with a meet at Sur
rattsville. Other meetings will be he'd, be-
ginning October %, and continuing almost
daily.

ponds, it Is said upon the ability of the il
literate man to vote the ticket. There viii
be about thirty candidates on the ballot.
Under the Wilson election law all party
designations will be eliminated, and to vote
the ticket correctly one must be familiar
with the men nominated by his party be-
fore he enters the booth. There will be

ballots were thrown out, a large majority
being cast by republican voters. The demo-

the measure, but win support the nominees

failure to support the amendment Is that
it places in the hands of registration off,

they will vote against the amendment, and
there are others of the same mind.

remarked last evening, referring to the mil
itary shooting tournament that was in
progress since last Wednesday morning on
the National Guards new rife range. The
attendance was much larger than we had
expected. 1t is interesting to note that our
meet was a much more elaborate affair
than those held at Sea Girt, n. J., when the
District of Columbia first began sending
teams there For several years New Jersey
and the District had the targets all to
themselves. and then Pennsylvania was
represented by a team. From that small
beginning the Sea Girt competitions have
expanded to almost unlimited proportions.
Teams from Maryland, the United States
Cavalry, the United States Engineer Corps
and the United States Marine Corps COM
peted in our meet. Furthermore, the local
entries were unprecedent edly numerous. For
instance, 119 enlisted men were entered IN
the Merchants ma tch alone. The previous
high-water mark in that contest was sew
enty-three entries.
Range open tuesday.
THE range will be open for qualification
scores Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of
this week and Monday and Tuesday of next
week. Immediately thereafter we will pre-
pare a list of those entitled to rifle pra ctice
decora tons and make requistion for the
latter. The distribution of prizes won in
the meet just ended, Jointly with the rifle
practice decorations, will be made an occa-
sion of ceremony, to occur at the earliest
practicable date. The qualifica ton this year
has been double that of any preceding sea-
son, which is very gratifying to the depart
ment of rife practice.
Most valuable aid was rendered through
out the meet by Major Alfred P. Robbins,
the assistant executive officer, and thanks
are also due those few of the range officers
who reported for duty. Furthermore the
tournament would have been failure with

Much of the success of the meet was due
to the elaborate telephone system installed

bine With Scale House,

Mayor McCaskrin has announced his
intention to provide a waiting station
for persons travelling on street cars.
the location 10 be where the scale
house now stands on Market square.
As the traffic is now there is a de-
mand for some place to wait for street
cars on this corner, as there is shelter
from neither sun nor rain. and more
people wait there for cars than in any
other portion of the city.
With interurbans entering the city
there will be more of a demand for
place of this kind, and even without
them it is increasing daily. Work was
commenced a few days ago on the city
scales. making some Improvements
there, but the mayor has stopped that
pending more definite plans with refer
ence to the waiting station. The plaa
proposed, and il meets with favor
among those who have considered it,
is to have the scale house. waiting
room and public telephone all in one
building and that located on the
square bordering on Second avenue in
stead of so far south.
