Bechtold. The resolutions adopted violently
attack the Democratic county government and
all upon the people to repudiate it at the
polls. On the subject of the amendment the
resolutions say I'VE denounce the proposed
Poe suffrage amendment to the Constitution OF
as fraudulent in its conception, en-
anating, as it does, from minds that cannot
think pure thought or contemplate clean
act and we charge that it is deliberate at
tempt to fasten upon the people of Maryland
the dominion of an inscriptions set of politi
clans who care nothing for party or principal,
but who at the time being dominate the DEM
ocratic party. and who are masquerading I'M
der its name for the promotion Of their own
selfish purposes and we further charge that
the adoption of such measure would deprive
many good citizens, who have come to US from
foreign lands, of their rights of franchise and
make of Maryland an 'entailed estate forever
vested in the Democratic ring dynasty"
SEVERAL PROMINENT Republican lawyers of
Baltimore city, including Hon. Charles J.
Bonaparte, Mr.. John c. Rose Mr.. George r.
Gather, Mr.. George Whitelock and others, have
Judge Harlan, the Democratic nomi-
nee, for re election and deprecate the idea Of
the Republicans making nomination against

favor the placing of q candidate in the field.

Mudd declared for Judge Harlan.

pressing my views as to this matter. ] do not
hesitate to say that we're resident and voter
of Baltimore city / would advise against
nomination by my party to oppose Judge Har-
Ian. / am rather of the opinion that there
will not be such nomination. hope not.'
THE REPUBLICAN conventions of the four
legislative districts of Baltimore city were held
on Wednesday night and nominations were
made for the Senate and House of Delegates
Among the resolutions passed by the conven-
lions was the following: eve believe that
the right of selfgoyernment is involved in the
defeat of the Poe amendment, and that its
overshadowing importance renders all other
questions of minor consequence. We believe
that the purity and progressiveness of the gov
eminent depends upon the fairness of our
elections, through which the majority shall
rule in the selection of public officers; and
that unless our elections express the will of
the people the government will not be admin
istered in their interest,"
The FAMOUS belled buzzard that had been
seen in many sections of the country for sew
eral years, was captured few days ago by
James Shives, farmer near Hancock, WASH
ington county, Md, who removed the bell
from around the birds neck. On the bell was
inscribed "B. Allen, Ala, 1903" showing
when and where the bird was released. Shives
captured the buzzard by placing trap in
side an opening in brush Enclosure he had
built about the carcass of a horse, first having
wrapped the jaws with rags SO as not to injure
it if it should get into the trap. The big bird
has travelled thousands of miles since it was
released, wearing the bell, and has frequently
been seen and heard in that county.
THE FOLLOWING is one of the
"planks" adopted by the Republican
State convention of Maryland, held
in Baltimore, September 9th: THE
Republican party Of the State Of
Maryland favors no social equality
among the races, favors no negro
domination over the white people
here or elsewhere, and can be depended
upon to guard against the establish
ment of either of these conditions
here in Maryland"

SPEAKING OF the endless chain the Eldorado
(Kas } Republican says: Every farmer boy
wants to be a school teacher. every school
teacher hopes to be an editor, every editor,
would like to be banker, every banker would
like to be trust magnate. and every trust
magnate hopes some day to own farm and
have chickens and cows and pigs and horses
to look after. We end where we begin" A
good ending, but the chain is trifie long.
The wise farmers boy in the majority of cases
stays where he begins.

for narrowing, 270 miles for cultivating, forty
five miles for husking, or in all 72O miles, not
