Democratic Congressman Thomas

Democratic Congressman Thomas A.
Smith, of the First or Eastern Shore Dis
trict, is reported as hustling for votes as
never before, while his republican oppo-
nent, VIM. H. Jackson, has been greatly
handicapped by illness, which has pre-
vented him making a personal canvass
among his constituents so far.
Another point the democrats claim
as being of advantage to their nominee
is his victory of two years ago, which the
opposition left no stone unturned to dis
credit by long drawn out and tiresome
contest which failed utterly to bear fruit
for them.

Quiet campaigns seem to be popular all
over the States, says the Baltimore News.
The republicans feel that the only way of
winning strong democratic district is to
avoid personal attacks on the opposition
candidates and to do as little as possible
to excite the party prejudices of the
voters. The democrats have come to feel
the same way about strong republican
districts. Candidates of each party are
getting out among the voters, making
themselves pleasant. If they can persuade
a man of the opposite political faith to
vote for them-even stay at home on
election day-and rely upon the party
organization to get out the party vote,
they feel that they may have some chance
of winning out. Since both parties are
working along on the same line, the man
who makes himself most agreeable from
a personal standpoint has the best chance
of making the best showing. The 'jol-
lier" and story-teller has supplanted the
statesman in local politics. Fortunately,
however, the man who CAN 'jolly" is
sometimes we'll qualified TO represent a
district.

That never failing champion of the rum
traffic, the Cecil Democrat, processes to
see in the present prohibitory law of the
county an increase in drinking and
drunkenness because of that small per-
centage of citizens, who, no matter what
legislation is in force in regard to the sale
of Intoxicating liquor, will have their
dram, and are, under prohibition, COM
PEELED to get it in quantities from outside
sources, in order that their consuming
thirst may be appeased. The argument,
if argument it may be called, appears to
be that being compelled to get it in guam
tity they are also compelled to drink
it in quantities that make them beastly
drunk, whereas if its sale was legalized in
the county they could get drink at any
time, and consequently would not get
drunk. Fine logic this. A drinking
man gets drunk under prohibition because
be Graves strong drink and it is hard to
get, whereas under license, although he
has the same craving, he will not get
drunk.
This is about on par with that much
overworked statement of the whiskey
champions, that there is more liquor sold
and drank under prohibition than under
license. And yet you don't hear of any
of them supporting their statement by
working and voting for prohibition when
the question of license or no license is
before the people of the county for vote.
They are all on the license side.
That liquor is drunk during local op-
ton, when it can be had, as we'll as
during license, goes without saying, but
this is no fault of the prohibitory law.
1t refuses to sanction the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor but it does not take away
all acquired appetite, and simply because
certain small percentage of individuals,
who, for their own satisfaction, wish to
indulge that appetite, degrade themselves
and disturb the peace, is not, as the
Democrat thinks, sufficient reason for
the much larger percentage of self
respecting, peace loving, law abiding
people countenancing an evil that
promotes debauchery and brings untold
misery to the families of those who in.
dulge the habit.
