while making it an easily decipherable
riddle for voters of the Democratic faith.
II
The effect of this trickery is painfully
seen in the vote returned for presiden-
tial electors. The first candidate on the
Republican ticket, Charles j. Bonaparte,
received 109,479 votes. That was the
highest vote east for any elector. The
first Democratic candidate received 1O9,-
cratic candidates all received more votes
than were cast for the second highest
Republican clector, whose total was only
106,993 The difference between the
first and second Democratic electors
was 1860, and this variation. though
small. was great enough to throw seven
of the States eight electoral votes from
Roosevelt to Parker.
This peculiar result in Maryland can
other States have divided their electoral
votes. But in every recent case the
highest opposition elector has succeeded
in defeating the lowest elector on the
winning tcket-as in California in 1880,
1892 and 1896, in Ohio and Oregon in
1892, and in Kentucky in 1896. But
nowhere have ordinary mistakes in
marking ballots so worked out as to
give one party the highest elector and
the opposition all the rest. Clearly the
will f Il majority of the qualified voters,
in Maryland was overridden and nulli-
fed when certificates were issued to
the seven Democratic electors. And we
feel confident that Mr., Jackson will find
no difficulty in proving TO an impartial
jury that he too, WAS defeated by tho
same machinery of suppression and
fraud.-New York Tribune.

tinction.,
In all the multiplied activities
of life, man pre-eminent for
the possession of those high per-
sonal qualities which challenge
our respect, confidence and es-
TEEN. q:
A man not self-seeking or pre-
tentious, on the contrary, mod

Genial in comradeship, his

heightened by his proverbial
kindness of heart, and habitual
consideration for the feelings Of
others.
A gentleman alike by birth

Above all he was pure man,

to women, in his home the gal
liant and devoted husband, the
kind and considerate father.
In his church the humble

In official life. the Jealous de-

MIR. JACkSON'S CONTEST
r Il is a satisfaction to know that
Hon. William III. jackson, now


Hon. William III. Jackson, now
representing the First Maryland
District in the House of Representa-
tvcs, will contest the certificate of cleo
ton issued for that district to his recent
Democratic opponent, Hon. Thomas A..
Smith. In 1900 Mr.. jackson was elect
cd in the First district by a vote Of
1914 to 1871 for j. F. Moore, Demo
crat. In 1909 he was reelected by q
vote of 17,9GS to 1910 for James f.
Ellegood The Democratic candidate.
This year he has been declared defeat
ed by q, vote Of l7.OT2 to 1852 for Mr..
Smith. Mr.. jackson will ask the next
House of Representatives to reverse this
verdict on the ground OF wholesale trick
cry and fraud.
We have more than once called attcn-
ton to the petty thievcry by which Mr..
JacksOn's defeat was accomplished and
by which seven of Maryland's electoral
votes were Gifted into the Parker and
Davis column. The contest now begun
will insure a thorough ventilation of the
sneak thief methods employed by the
Democratic machine in Maryland to de-
feat the will of clear majority of that
States electorate. 1t will at least ex-
pose the tricks practiccd by partisan
election boards to convert the ballot into
Chinese puzzle for Republican voters,

ON THAT CHARGE
SMITHS ENTER DEMURRER
Assistant District Attorney Moves Dis
missal of Case, as II Would
Prejudice Position In the
Murder Case
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 14.-The indict-
ment charging Nan Patterson with con-
spiracy with j. Morgan Smith and Mrs.
Smith to wrongfully obtain money
from Caesar Young was dismissed in
the court of general sessions today at
the request of Assistant District At
torney Rand.
Miss Patterson, who is about to be
tried again for the murder of Young
was brought into court with the
Smiths. Mr.. Rand told the court that
a mistake had been made in drawing
up the indictment against Miss Patter-
son, and that 1t tended to prejudce
her position in the capital case.
In support of his contention that the
facts charged against the Smiths did
not constitute conspiracy their counsel
read an intercepting letter from Julia
Smith to Caesar Young, in which the
writer stated that Miss Patterson was
about to become a mother, which Is
one of the allegations in the charge
OF conspiracy to get money from
Young. Counsel said the statements
as to Miss Patterson's health did not
bear out the allegations and that the
alleged threatening of Young with
revolver, If true, was an independent
offense. He declared that false pre-
lenses could not be considered eXtor-
tion.
Judge Foster reserved decision on
the demurrer, and allowed the counsel
to submit briefs later in the day.
Smith and his wife, who We're ex-
cused from pleading, were remanded
to the Tombs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, April

President Roosevelt. Grand Army vet
Grams were lined upon the platform
and a band entertained the crowd dur
ing the wait.
Promptly at 1880 o'clock the presi-
Dental train pulled into the depot,
Wild cheering greeted the president as
he stepped out on the platform. The
president responded to cries for
speech, saying in part:
Let me say one word of special
greeting to the veterans of the Grand
Army. To you, my comrades, 1 wish
to say that 1 have just come up from
Texas, and it would have done your
hearts good, you men who wore the
blue in the great war, to see how, side
by side, with your comrades who wore
the blue stood the men who wore the
gray, united with them now forever
and ever, with one flag and one coun-
try. Delighted though 1 was with
every feature of my reception in Texas,
l think that the feature that pleased
me most was that of which L have just
spoken-to see the Union and ex-Con-
federate veterans standing together
under the old flag. (Cheers)
Now l am going to make a request
OF the people of Colorado. l am off on
a hunt. One thing you can't do on a
hunt, and that is to carry a brass
band You cannot combine hunting
bears with a Fourth of July ceebra-
tion. Seriously, I am going to beg
the people of Colorado to treat me on
this hunt just as well as the people of
Texas and Oklahoma treated me on
the wolf hunt. If a lot of newspaper
men start come in after me 1 will have
to come home; that is all there is to it.
The thing they can do that will please
me best is to let me he on the hunt
alone and pay no earthly attention to
men start in after me / will have
ii the mountains. ] want to ask the
newspa permen, especially the news
papermen of this great state of yours,
a fair show and not to try to follow
me up. If they do it probably will
mean that I shall have to give up the
hunt. If they won't do it, l will agree
that if anything of any earthly inter
est happens l will have the news sent
out.
At the conclusion of the address the
president was taken in an automobile
TO the home of p. B. Stewart, There
he received delegation from the
chamber of commerce at Denver and
accepted an invitation to visit that
city on returning from his hunt, An
hour was spent in making prepara-
tiens for his departure for Glenwood

ed TO his special train. Promptly at

tion, the president standing barehead-

CHICAGO, April 14.-After day and
a large part of the night spent in con-
ferences with both sides in the Mont
gomery Ward & co. strike, Mayor
Dunno late tonight announced that he
had made no progress toward settle
ment of the trouble, and he did not
seem hopeful that an adjustment will
come in the near future
Further conferences will be held to-
morrow, but it is not thought tonight
by either employees or the strikers that
any arrangement will be reached. The
great obstacle to the settlement is that
the teamsters insist that the strike OF
the garment workers, now four months
old be arbitrate before the teamsters
return to work, and the employers in
sist that the teamsters return to work
before anything is done concerning the
garment workers.
Mayor Dunno endeavored tonight to
bring about a joint conference. but
neither side would consent to meet the
other.

succeeded in sending more goods to
the freight depots today than at any
time since the commencement of the
strike. All the wagons were under po-
lice protection, but there was less Vio-
lence than on any of the preceding
days.
Mayor Dunno declined tonight to
discuss the charges brought to his at
tention that a bribe had been offered
for the settlement of the strike.
