Frederick sends her greetings to the
Democrats Of the State and asks them
TO Join in the congratulations due to the
young men for the gallant fight they
made in the old town to win Demo
cratic victory Under new conditions
which will come when the freemen Of
Maryland carry the Constitutional
Amendments, the grand old county of
Frederick will join her sister counties
and elect solid Democratic ticket of
honest and representative men. In the
past, seventeen hundred negro voters
have foreed us to undergo defeat,
though no set Of men ever worked more
faithfully for the principles of Demoe-
racy than the loyal Democrats of this
county. Democrats and Republicans
alike all over Maryland would wish for
the adoption or our amendments, had
they seen the peaceful and quiet cleo
ton held here on Tuesday last by the
Anglo-Saxon races Of this city"

Every Democrat can consis-

sheriff of Frederick county. He
has always been a staunch Demo.

and help the cause of his party
and its candidates. Several
times he has been an aspirant
for the nomination for sheriff
but has cheerfully stepped down

He is making an active fight

AT "The Square Deal Picnic at

tionsl Amendment, and heaped appro.
brium upon those who advocate its
adoption The negroes present seemed to
enjoy the labOyed efforts the Repubri,

in a position to vote them into Office

play upon the negroes ignorance and

negro domination in truth and fact.

ALL DEPENDS ON THE VOTE
OF THE WHITE MEN OF
MARYLAND.

After the result of the election of
1908 was known and properly dissect-
ed, tine Republicans acknowledged
publicly that the cause Of the big DEM
ocfatic victory was the prominence of
the negro in the campaign and the
thoroughness of the plans of the DEM
ocratic Central Committee. The negro
was an issue in 1903 almost to the
extent that he is in the present cam
palgn, the difference being that in that
year Legislature was elected pledged
to carry out the platform promises of
tue candidates and the party orators,
and this year the result of the legisla-
tive action, in the presence of the Dis
franchising Amendment, is up to them
for final ratification. The issue is plain
and unclouded. The party has sought
Jor several years to mitigate the negro
evil from which the State has suffered
since the war, and its course has been
disparsged to the extent that much
Misunderstanding mas been created in
the ranks of the Democracy. Every
important movement III the party
councils lately has been with the single
purpose of cutting the illiterate and
venal negro off from the exercise of
the franchise, which exalted privilege
was given him by trickery and frand
of the darkest hue. 1t is the senti-
ment of the white people of the State
and party zines drop when this issue
is before them.
The final test is now before the white
voters of the State. Allied with the
white rank and file Republicans is
the solid black phalaux, the dominant
element in the Republican party,
which will nullify sixty thousand
while Democratic votes in the State.
On crucial test like this the margin
is a close one and no safety can be felt
until the votes are counted, Hence
the vital importance of the fight this
year.
The pride Of the white voters should
be aroused as never before, at the
thought of the opposition to their dear
est wish; their hopes for better con-
dition of the electorate of the State,
and the ultimate triumph of unwhole-
some ideas in the method of choosing
the personnel of our governing power.
Democrats, liberal Republicans, In-
dependents aud all voters who cherish
high ideas of a government. controlled
absolutely by the better element of our
electorate, this is an appeal to your
reas IN, your consistent ideas of the
necessities of the moment and the
better instincts of your nature. Will
you let the one chance to secure the
result you have so long hoped for 60
by without positive action? We trust
to your discretion and ysur vote.

So disgraceful is the political situa-
ton in Philadelphia, that Senator For
aker has cancelled all his engagements
to speak in that city in aid of the Re
publican gsng-Durham, McMichael
and the rest. President Roosevelt
avoided Pennsylvania in the cam
paign of 1895 and did not make a
speech in that State. 1t is a terrible
condition there and the people are
aroused as never before, TO the neces.
sity of turning the rascals out. Mayor
Weaver, who was elected as the gangs
candidate, has repudiated the CON-
pany be used to keep, and is now
allied with and is one of the leaders
for reform. Many have been the mis-
takes since Boss Quay died. He had
his faults, but he kept his party out of
the dirty pickle they are in now.

Valley City, N. D., March s.-Hardly
secondary to the cheap and fertile lands
in the mind Of the homeseeker or home
builder is the question Of good school
advantages for his children. The lands
of Barnes county are both fertile and
moderate in price. It is notable as we'll
turnout this section of the northwest
for the excellence Of it's schools.
The constitutional convention located
two normal schools for. the state, the
largest of which is at Valley City, the
county seat of Barnes county. 1t en-
rolls at present about four hundred stu
dents. 1t has had a stimulating infu-
ence upon the schools thruout the
county, which are supplied with teach
ers very largely from the student body
of the state normal school. In this way
the schools are taught by trained,
practical body Of teachers. The print
tive school established by the hardy
pioneers by means Of contributions and
high taxation on their meager posses
sions have given way to organized
schools, many of them in touch by
means of the telephone, with the coun-
ty superintendent s office at the county
seat, comfortably housed in modern and
convenient buildings. Indeed it is not
too much to say that the progress of
education in this county has been great

It's excellent school advantages mako

they otherwise would be. With good,
schools at their doors, with their rural
mail delivery and with their telephone
the farmers may now educate their
children at home, going even SO far in
some cases as to offer some high-school
training. It is not extravagant, there
fore, to say that great institution like
the state normal school adds to the ma,
terial value of the county as we'll as its
moral and intellectual welfare.
Then again, when the children have
passed from the rural schools it is
great convenience to the farmer to be
able to send his sons and his daughters
to a nearby, ll-established, thoroly
equipped institution, and to have them
home on Saturday night if they 80 de-
sire. In this and many other respects
Barnes county is fortunate, in having
system of schools from the primary,
thru the graded and high schools and
state normal school within easy access
! of every home.

The 1905 immigration movement to
the Dakotas is already under way. Re
ports of the spring-like weather and
the disappearance of the snow have
reached the homeseeker and investor in
the east and middle west, and the first
colonists of the year have crossed the
borders and are selecting their land or
preparing for permanent residence upon
tracts secured last fall.
This will be good year for all the
newer sections of North Dakota-the
nous Mouse river loop and Deep river
country to the north. Here are to be
found good rolling prairie, a rich soil,
pure spring water, the finest of well
water at from fifteen to fifty feet, and
land covered with nutritious grasses.
Coal almost at the settlers door can
be had for the cost of digging. Free

On the Missouri Slope.
The grasses mature before. frost and
when winter comes they are in the con
dition Of hay, and cattle prefer winter
grazing to the best hay. The grasses
are exceedingly nutritious. The snow
fall Is light and there is bright sunshine
most of the winter and cattle and
horses often keep during the entire win
ter without mouthful of hay or grain
Sheep in like manner feed on the prai
ries, except in an occasional winter OF
deep snow.
Corn is grown successfully in al
parts of the state, but more especially
in the Missouri valley, where the chi
nook winds of the Pacific slope ma
terially modify the climate, giving ;
climate quite equal to central Iowa
The days are longer than in Iowa b,
nearly an hour, in summer, and this ha
the effect to strengthen the grasses ant
