HON. !. FRED. G. TALBOT.

most always favorable action. He
knows how to manage such matters
as we'll as any man in public life.
In the matter of securing appro-
priations for public buildings and
other works, Mr.. Talbot has done
as much as any man who ever rep
resented the State, and he has aided
the representatives from the Balti-
more City districts to get much OF
the money with which have been
erected the magnificent Federal
buildings now in the city; and it was
largely through his aid that much OF
the money now being spent at the
Naval Academy was secured to be
laid out within the limits of the
State. AS a business representative
in Congress he has few equals and
no superiors; and the longer he is
left there, the more effective and
useful he will become. That the
position of Congressman is more a
business than a political one, has
become recognized to a great extent
all over the country. The Con-
gresham is really the business rep
resentative of the State and district
at the seat of Government, rather
than the political representative; for
political matters there, while i'm
portant, take up a comparatively
small proportion of the time. The
business end of the work is becom-
ing more and more important every
year, and the Government is really
no more than great corporation,
in which the members of Congress
are directors, whose duties are to
see that their people get their share
of the dividends in the way of ap-
preparations. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that Mr.. Talbot is one of the
best directors of this great govern
ment corporation who ever repre-
sented the Maryland stockholders
on the Board. He is no dummy
director, but a real, live, active,
hustling, working member of the
great body.
Whether people who are opposed
to Mr.. Talbot politically may ad-
mire him or not should not enter
into the question of his return to
Congress by large majority. From
a practical, business standpoint, he
can do more for his constituents in
a month than his estimable opponent
could do in whole term, for Mr..
Garrett could do absolutely nothing,
however able and conscientious he
may be as man.
Mr.. Talbot is practical and ex-
perienced. Mr.. Garrett is imprac-
tical and inexperienced, and as a
representative would be utterly use
less and of no force or effect. No
one would pay the slightest attention
to him except, perhaps, in social
way, and the Second District would
be in no wise benefited by the social
success of its representative without
other qualifications.
! PAUL WINCHESTER.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1906-11-02

Although the reelection of Mr..
Talbot to Congress next month
seems assured, it is hoped by the
friends of that gentleman that every
Democrat in the district will vote
for him, in order to show apprecia-
ton of his services during a long
period of years at Washington. In
fact, politics being left out of the
question, and looking at the situation
from business standpoint entirely,
Mr.. Talbot should be returned to
Washington, no matter what his
politics are; for his extended expert
ence at the seat of Government has
enabled him to accomplish more for
his constituents than any new and
untried man could possibly do for
years to come. Mr.. Talbot has
thoroughly learned the business of
representing a constituency, for it is
a business, and must be learned like
any other business; and the longer a
man is there, the more he is able to
accomplish. = a5
The writer's acquaintance with
affairs at Washington, and the way
they are managed, enables him to
speak with thorough and accurate
knowledge in this regard, and he
does not hesitate to say that Mary
land has had no better representative
there than Mr.. Talbot. He is al
ways on hand, and is always ready
and willing to look out Tor the most
trivial thing in which any of his
constituents may be interested, as
we'll as to pay careful attention to
such greater matters as may come
up for consideration. He does these
things for everybody, Republicans
and Democrats alike, and it is within
the bounds of truth to say that Mr..
Talbot has secured action on more
pension cases for the people OF his
district than any other man who
ever went to Washington from
Maryland-and in large proportion
of these cases the pensions were Sc
cured for Republicans. The writer
knows of many such instances, and
many worthy people, and some un-
worthy ones, both white and colored-
are passing their last years in com,
fort owing to the pensions paid them
from the National Treasury through
the untiring zeal and unselfsh en-
ergy of Mr.. Talbot. For many
years members of Congress have
had much to do with securing pen
sions for old soldiers and their fami-
lies, and one of the most familiar
figures in the Pension Office has
been that of Mr.. Talbot, who has
never given up a case until ne Sc
cured action, and prompt action, by
the department. Cases have Ian
guished and been delayed by red
tape, and for other reasons, while
the district was represented by
others. When Mr.. Talbot "came
to his own again." and took the
cases up, there was prompt and al
