THE Democratic Campaign Com
mittee has taken an important step in
seeing that no candidate in Baltimore
City straddles the Amendment. This
was decided upon at a recent meeting
and every candidate and ward execu-
tive was notified to that effect. The
welfare Of the people is declared to be
of greater importance than tue success
Of any individual and no support will
be given to any candidate who does not
come out squarely for the Amendment.
Dolly twoof the ward executives were
opposed to the Amendment-"Billn
Garland and Ward Littiug-all the
Others were strong in its favor. The
fight will be made ON these lines and
all concede that it would be ridiculous
to take any other stand. No man can
sacrifice his party principle and expect
support from his party. The issue is
clean cut and so must be the position
of every candidate.

BoNAPARTE TAKES WATER.

Charles j. Bonaparre. the new leader
Of the Republican party in Maryland
by reason of his close connection with
the Roosevelt Government, comes out
in az extended disclaimer that il was
the intention of the Republican arty
to attempt social or political equality
between the whites and blacks. Ger
tsinly there must have been .ome
reason for this-someOne must have been
reading between the lines of the Re-
publican platform, which is a mass Of
hollow inco' sistencies. Mr.. Bonaparte
says he did not suggest or advise the
adoption of the resolution declaring
against negro domination or equality,
in the Republican platform. Is this in
the nature of a personal apology to the
whites, and on the ether hand a fast
and loose play with the negro for his
vote? The plank in the platform meant
a loss of black votes-something must
be done TO change the current of their
thoughts. So Bonaparte rushes into
print and says he had nothing to do
with making this particular plank.
He evidently is playing more for the
black than the white vote; what do the
white men Of Frederick county think
of such arbitrary and contemplate
practices. VIII they sustain Bonaparte
and bis negro allies or vote with their
white brethren for white supremacy?
