DEMOCRATIC COMMENT.
What the Party Papers Have
to Say About Mr.. Rayner.

Ellicott City Times dem. J
THE Junior Senator for this
State, the Hon. lsidor Rayner,
in a long statement defines his
status on the amendment, and
We believe no true Democrat will
agree with him IN either the pc,
sition he takes or in the conclu-
sious lie draws.
1.-the very argument he uses
now he could have used for the
benefit of his fellow-Democrats
dnring the last session of the
Legisl ature, at which he knew an
amendment of the same tenor, il
not in the exact words, but in
exact meaning, would be passed.
Against this he did not raise his
voice then, nor since to our knowl-
edge. Fellow-D g ocrats W g
should remember Mr.. Rayner then
wanted the votes Of his fellow.
Democrats in the Legislature to
elect him to the United States
Senate. so he kept quiet.
"a good man always stands
by his friends. Any other kind
of man is not only dangerous as
an adviser, but especially SO as
a leader. Feeling our party
friends will take this view of the
matter, it seems to us Mr.. Ray
ner's views at this time should
and will have very little weight
in deciding the questions before
the people.
"There is only one feature oil
Mr.. Rayner's statement we really
think Is worth controverting.
This is his claim that the amend
ment puts our foreign born citi.
zen on the level with the Hitter
ate negro. Every white man
knows that it is not so, and also
knows that no foreign white citi
zen need have any fear of the
Democratic party desiring ia
exclude him from the right oil
! franchise, for the reason that
ever since it's formation it has
been the party that our foreign
population has attached itself to,
and today a large proportion OF
the Democratic party is made up
of foreigners or their lineal de
scendants. as provided for in the
amendment, and it is . foregone
conclusion that it will not turn
against its own members or Their
friends"

CONSIDER THIS III!
Under the Amendment
EVERY WHITE MAN

IVAN
CAN REGISTER l l
This is assured by the second
section of the Amendment, which
reads as follows:
"a person rh0 on the first day
Of January, 1869, or prior thereto,
tcGS entitled to uOte under the lGpS
Of this State, or OF any other State
qcherein he then resided; or any
inedl male descendant of such last
named persons aohO may be 81 gears
Of age or Ouer in the gear 1906"
VThe above means: That if
you acere too you1,g to be entitled
to register in 1869, but yOW father
was entitled to be registered that
year you can register without any
questions being asked; and ifyour
father was not old enough to be
entitled to register in 1869 but
your grandfather was, then you
and yOur father come under the
same ruling, and both will be en-
titled to register without question.

KIND WORDS.

AS the breath of dew on the
tender plant, they fall gently up
on the dropping heart, refreshing
it's withered tendrils and soothing
its burning woes. Bright GASES
they are in life's greatest desert.
Who can estimate the pangs they
have alleviated, or the good works
they have accomplished
Long after they are uttered do
they reverberate in the SOULS in
ner chambers and sing low, sweet,
liquid strains, that quell all the
raging storms that may have be
fore existed. And, oh, when the
heart is sad, and like a broken
harp the sweetest chords of pleas
uTe cease to vibrate, who can tell
the power of one kind word? One
little word of tenderness gushing
in upon the soul will sweep the
long neglected chords, and awaken
the most pleasant strains.

Personal HOSTILITY z

Hartford Democrat, Belair: "Sen
ator Rayner has declared against
the Constitutional Amendment,
mucn to the surprise of many of
his Democratic friends and ad-
mirers. He makes a strong argu-
meDt for his view of the case,
albeit much temper is displayed,
indicating that personal hostility
to Senator German might be the
underlying cause. For the most
part Democrats, while they re.
spect the views of both the Senior
and Junior Senator'S, take orders
from neither and will vote for or
against the proposed amendment,
as if the views of neither were
known and as may appear to the
voter to be for the best interests

wanted to go to Congress. He
was active when he was a candi-

was more than active when he
was a candidate for United

now because he desires to be the
State leader, and he thinks he
can see in the defeat of the
amendment the overthrow of Mr..
German and the installation of
himself as leader, with Mr.. Cor
man and his friends relegated to

The Democratic party has de.
clared in favor of the amendment,
and it has also declared after its
passage that every white man
will be protected in his right to
vote. He will also have the sat
isfaction of knowing that his
vote is not killed by a negroes
vote. 1t is foolish to think that
q Democrat would deprive a
white man of his vote, for they
constitute the Democracy OF
