POLITICS IN MARYLAND
DESPERATE EFFORTS BY BOTH
PARTIES TO WIN.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, October 2s, 1905.
With the advocates and opponents of the
disfranchising amendment both processing
to victory ahead, the homestretch in
the most desperately fought campaign in
the history Of Maryland is reached. The
campaign marks an epoch In state poll
tics, for 1t has been clearly demon
strated that Senator German has lost his
grip on control of the democratic organiza-
ton. Men who for decades had followed
the dictation of the senator are today in
open revolt and on the hustings denounc-
ing what they term the ubiquitous Poe
amendment" Every effort has been made
by the state boss to whip these recalci-
trants into line, without avail, and today
Senator German can only rally around his
standard a few Of the trusted lieutenants
out of the hundreds who were ready and
even eager to carry out his orders for the
past quarter OF century. These party
workers are, however, putting forth every
effort to elect the democratic legislative
ticket, and at the same time not neglectfng
point calculated to defeat the Poe plan
a the polls.
During the coming week the anti-amend-
ment democrats and the republicans will
hold a number of mass-meetings In this
city, while the German democrats will close
the campaign with a mass-meeting at the
Lyric next Saturday night, when Senator
The Lyric will also be the scene next week
Of a great demonstration under the
auspices of the Anti-Poe Amendment Dem
ocratic Association. The speakers on this
occasion will be Senator Rayner and Mr..

members Of the Reform League and a

Ants Have Advantage,

In this campaign the opponents of the
Poe plan have a great advantage over the
German wing Of the party, inasmuch as
all the noted stump speakers, with the ex-
ception of former Representative Joshua
w. Miles and Mr.. John P. Poe, are exert
ing their efforts to encompass the defeat
of the measure. 1t was because of this lack
of oratorical talent that Chairman Vandi-
yer sent out invitations to governors of
the southern states to come to Maryland
to lend their aid IN the campaign for SEN
ator Gormans pet scheme. Thus far only
one state eXecuttve-Gov. Aycock Of North
Carolina-has appeared upon the rostrum
IN behalf Of the Poe plan, and even the
true-blue organization men will admit that
he did not win any votes to the German
side.
Then, too, the democratic organization is
snort on funds the great majority of those
who in the past had furnished the "sinews
of war" to the state central committee hay-
ing refused point blank to give anything
for this campaign. In several instances
the contribution has gone into the treas
ury OF the anti-amendment association.
Therefore, as the situation stands today,
be borne personally by Senator German
and several of the party workers whose
means will permit of large contributions
1t is said, however, that unless these gen.
tlemen have good and sufficient proof that
there Is a chance of carrying the amend
ment through there will be no money forth
coming, the senator preferring to use the
money to elect the legislature in 1907 which

Two Statements Compared.

u.
UIder the caption Does Negro Domino
ton Exist in Maryland2" the anti-amend-
ment association In a circular compares q
statement made by Cardinal Gibbons with
one made by former Representative Joshua
W. Miles. This circular Is in part as fol-
lows:
"At the democratic state convention. Mr..
Joshua W. Miles said he represented the
| Stricken counties of the state and that he
| brought "a pathetic message, which comes
direct from the hearts and homes of thou
sands of the men and women of Maryland
who feel the degradation of the social and
political conditions that surround them
In only three counties in Maryland was
the colored population approximately equal
TO the white by the federal census of 1900
| These counties are Calvert Charles and St
Marys. In these counties then, we must
expect to find the worst conditions. Yet of
two of these counties Charles and St
Marys, Cardinal Gibbons writes a. follows
Ill the October number of the North Ameri-
can Review:
g In the lower counties of Maryland the
white and the black population are nearly
equally divided, and the great majority Of
both races profess the Catholic religion.
have had frequent occasions to visit these
counties in the exercises Of the sacred min
| istry.
'' Before divine services began have been
delighted to observe the whites and the
blacks assemble together in the church
ntliar Intercourse. Then they repaired to
the church, worshipng under the same
roof kneeling before the same altar, re-
ceiving the sacrament at the same railing,
and listening TO the words of the same
Gospel.
q This equal participation In spiritual
gifts and privileges has fostered the feeling
of goodwill and benevolence which no hu-
man legislation could accomplish I never
witnessed anywhere else the white race SO
kind and considerate to the colored, nor the
colored race respectful and deferential
to the white; for there was no attempt in
these weekly gatherings to level the exist
ing social distinctions. AS far as my mem
ory serves me the records of these two
counties have never been stained by sin
gle instance of an outrage and lynch
ing"
Views of Chairmen.
Chairman Hanna Of the republican state
central committee is sanguine that the
amendment will be defeated. but warns the
republicans that they must not become
overconfdent. He urges that work against
the amendment be kept up until the polls
close on November next. Under the
direction of Chairman Hanna a systematic
campaign has been conducted against the
Poe plan, literature being sent into all Sec
tions Of the state setting forth the dan
ger that threatens the elective franchise in
Maryland.
Chairman Vandiver OF the democratic
state central committee says the amendment
Is sure to be ratified and that the democrats
will also elect q majority of the candi-
dates for the house of delegates. The chair
man does not give any figures as yet, but
as usual will make the announcement on
the eve OF election that 1--WE will win by
II, 600 to 1900 majority. j. M. d.

nent OF the colored SCHOOLS.

ment OF the colored schools.
Prominent democrats declare that the
raising of this question will lead not only
to refusal to provide free school books,
but that 1t may bring forward in a promi-
nent way the entire matter of coiored
schools, with the result of promoting the
idea that already exists among some of
them, that the colored people should be
made to provide for the education of their
own race. How such a result could be
brought about without hampering the en-
tire school system of the state is not plain,
but there is no doubt that there Is a con-
siderable body of the people who are in
clined to such q policy. c. E. K.
