MARYLAND TELEPHoHE-rowsoH. Q, l2l.
In THEIR convention at Easton on Tuesday
the Republicans of Talbot county resolved
that I'VE most severely condemn the present
unfair iniquitoss and partisan election law as
passed by the late Democratic Legislature of
this State, and unhesitatiDgIy declare 1t an
obstruction to a republic and the free liberties
of the people"
THE ORDER of Elks had big time at its an
nual reunion in Buffalo, New York, this week.
The report of the grand secretary showed that
the order now has 9s5 lodges, with member
ship Of 200, O4O, gain of $4,000 members dur
ing the past year. Mr.. William J. O'Brien, Of
the Baltimore bar, was grand exalted ruler
during the past year.
Hon. CHARLES J. BoNAPARTE, of Maryland,
the new Secretary of the U. s. Navy, has de-
cIined to accept any railroad passes and in this
he sets an excellent example. Passes that
have been sent to him have been returned
with thanks for the courtesy. He says that
by reason of the public position which he oc-
cupies he feels unable to avail himself of the
consideration shown him by the companies.
On TUESDAY Chairman Corteyou announced
the appointment of Mr.. Stevenson A. Will
liams, of Hartford county, as a member of the
Republican National Committee for Maryland
to succeed Judge Louis E. McComas, resigned.
til ssaid that Judge McComas wanted Congress-
man Pearre to be his successor but it appears
his wishes in the matter were not consulted.
The appointment of Mr. Williams will give
entire satisfaction to the Republicans of Mary
land. The honor, which was unsought by
him, is well deserved.
Dr.. WILLIAM ARM1sTEAD MoALE, gentle
man prominent in the social circles of Balti-
more, died at the Johns Hopkins Hospital on
Wednesday, from the effects of an operation
for appendicitis. He was born in that city
fifty-six years ago and was a son of William
Armistead Moale and Mary Winchester. DIR.
MoaIe built the Hotel Stafford, North Charles
street. and also owned much other valuable
real estate. He is survived by one daughter,
who is the wife of Mr.. T. O'Donnell Hillen.
DIR. MoaIe's wife was sister of Mr.. John s.
Cuttings, the banker.
In ACCEPTING the appointment as judge of
the Court Of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey
Mr.. James B. Dill sacrifices a law practice
worth $500, 900 year. The salary of the Office
is $1,000 year. The New York World, COM
menting upon this, says According to a
close friend of Mr.. Dill, the step from the
riches of corporation law to the comparative
dignifed poverty Of the bench was taken after
mature thought, i'll which the recent scandals
of high finance and the demands made upon
lawyers to save wealthy clients from the law
had weighty influence upon his decision"
II HAS been officially announced from Oys-
ter Bay. the Presidents summer home, that
Hon. Eli Root, of New York, has consented
to accept the position OF Secretary of State,
made vacant by the death of John Hay. Mr..
Root has already served as member of the
Cabinet, having been once Secretary of War.
He is among the foremost lawyers of the
country and is said to have a practice that
yields him several hundred thousand dollars
year. This he will have to sacrifice for the
paltry sum of 49, 600 year, which is the salary
of the Secretaryship. Gossips say that Mr..
Root will be a candidate for the Republic
can nomination for the Presidency in 1908 and
that he will have the powerful support of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
THE REPUBLICANS of Talbot county held their
convention at Easton on Tuesday and nomi-
mated a good local ticket, with Hon. Robert
B. Dixon at its head for State Senator. The
convention passed strong resolutions against
the Poe constitutional amendment, conclud-
ing as follows: 1--WE call especial attention to
the fact that the passage of this amendment
will result in driving from the State large
number of the laboring people, both men and
women, and thus increase the growing need
for competent help on the farms and in the
households Of the community. The loss in
real estate values would be keenly felt, not
only because of the lack of competent labor,
but because prospective buyers from outside
the State would be deferred
Hon. JOHN HUMMER, of the LIST district, per-
sonal friend of Chief Judge Fowler, presided at
the Judicial convention in Towson on Tuesday.
In an interview afterwards he is reported to
have said: Judge Fowler placed his candidacy
in our hands, with the request that we should
use our own judgment in acting for him.
The sentiment of the people has been found to
be for Judge Burke for Chief Judge. Under
these circumstances we were perfectly willing
to acquiesce in his nomination. If the feeling
had been otherwise the delegates from the LIST
district wohld have presented his claims in the
convention and fought out the issue, no mat
ter what the result might have been. Under
these circumstances Judge Fowler will be salts
fled with the action of the convention"
THE GREAT Christian Endeavor convention
that had been in session in Baltimore for nearly
a week, held its final meetings on Tuesday.
Despite the unfavorable Mediterranean rain
having fallen during the week-the convention
was in all respects successful and the thous-
ands of delegates who attended were greatly
pleased with the generous hospitality shown
by the people of the Monumental City. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 delegates attended the
convention and they left great deal of money
behind them. Among the resolutions passed
before final adjournment was the following:
I'VE congratulate the city upon having risen
so speedily, phenix-like, unaided from the
ashes of its terrible ordeal its affiction by fire,
and upon its full ability so soon to entertain
so large a company of young people, who have
assembled and carried on their work with an
enthusiasm that the fire could not devour nor
the floods of the last week drown"
TowsoN WAS treated on Tuesday to the very
unusual spectacle OF three Democratic conven-
tons and the primaries having all gone one
way on the previous Saturday, there were no
contentious of any kind and everything went
through as nicely as possible. In fact it was
the general remark that never before had such
orderly Democratic conventions been seen in
