The stay-at-home Democrats of Har-
ford must bear their share of the criticism
for the result In 1904 Talbot received
1865 votes to 1865 on Tuesday. This
shows a falling off of 500 votes while
Garrett received 1921 in 1904 to 2454,
gain of 1913 votes. This absolutely
proves that the Republicans had their
vote organized and out even better than
in the last national campaign, while the
Democrats fell 500 short. These are
figures worth considering for it is often
by our mistakes that we learn.
