Independent Voters.
The close of the registration in Baltimore
shows a total of LOG. O21 voters on the books
eligible to cast ballots next November.
This is the smallest registration in four
years, 1196O1 having registered last year,
1924 in 1904 and 1O7 $50 in 1903. 1t will
be seen. therefore. that had all eligible
voters been enrolled there would have been
about 600 in the books; and therefore,
1900 voters did not take enough interest
In the congressional election to have their
names placed upon the books. This year
S9,567 whites and ,454 colored were en-
rolled. compared with last year. when
102,O35 whites and 17,0S6 colored were en-
tered. both sides having lost, the democrats
proportionatefy more than the republicans.
1t is estimated by close observers of regis
tration, who made a study of the ward
and precinct figures. that at least two
thirds of IL ,0OO-odd voters who failed to
register are within the ranks OF the demo.
cratic party. 1t is also noticeable fact
that there was a great increase in the
unaffliated voters on the registration books
this year. as compared with the figures for
1903 1904 and 1905 Politicians explain this
on the ground that there is no primary
fight ahead, and that under such conditions
many republicans and democrats prefer to
appear on the lists as unaffiiated.
Oyster Laws.
The state board of public works has is
sued stringent orders to Commander How
ard of the state fishery force and to state
oyster inspectors to rigidly enforce the
oyster Gull law, which makes it unla wful
for dredgers to make up cargoes with more
than per cent of oysters under two inches.
Several instances of violation of this law
were pointed out to the board, and In
structions have been sent to all state Off
Gals that they will themselves be heavily
fined IL violations of the law escape pun
ishment within their respective jurisdic-
TONS The Gull law is one of the features
of the new oyster legislation, which Is
expected to do much good and is aimed
to protect the young oysters Reports
from the beds in the Chesapeake and it's
tributaries are to the effect that prospects
are much brighter for a good season than
one month ago, at which time the pacbers
and dealers took a most pessimistic view
of the situation This is due to the early
advent of cold weather, for which those
in the industry had been hoping, as it was
stated that continued warm weather would
result in disastrous season for all con-
cerned.

INDICATIONS GIVEN IN THE
BALTIMORE REGISTRATION.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, Nd, October 13.-The
congressional campaign will be on in
full blast throughout the state next week
The republicans will start the ball rolling
in this city with a rousing mass meeting
on Monday In Broadway Hall. 1t will be in
the interest of William w. Johnson the
nominee in the third district, which Is now
represented in Congress by Frank C. Wach-
ter, who declined a denomination. The
fight in this district gives every promise
of being one of the hottest in the state
For years prior to Wachter's advent in poll
tics the district had been democratic
stronghold. and the organization demoA
Gratis will leave no stone unturned to again
capture the district. The charge is openly
made that Harry Wolf, the democratic
nominee, has opened up negotiations with
negro leaders in the district, and the charge
is given color by the fact that William
II. Hackett. a colored employee of the patent
office in Washington. and who resides here,
was in conference with Wolf at the latter s
Office during the week. Republican leaders
in commenting on VOLTS Irritation with
the negro element stated that il was some
what strange that after arraignng the re-
publicans for seeking the support of the
colored voters and raising the race issue in
every campaign the democrats should them
selves now court the assistance of the peo-
PIE tney condemned.
Warfeld's Chances.
The most important development of the
week In the democratic camp was the an
nouncement that Gov. Warfleld would take
the stump during the campaign, the invi-
tation being extended to the executive by
the organization leaders. This is regarded
significant in view of the fact that the
state machine has consistently in the past
made 1t a point TO ignore the governor in
political campaigns. In some quarters it
is taken to indicaSe that the machine has
about decided to give Warfield a .renomi-
nation next year-not because they love
the governor, but for the reason that two
United States senatorships are at stake
They realize that If Warfeld is turned
down the independents will be alienated,
and, further, that this class cannot be won
over to support any gubernatorial posi-
bility of the organization stripe. The demo-
cratic machine will bend every effort to
capture the next legislature, the control Of
which means two United States senator
ships for the state machine. With War
field at the head of the state ticket, 1t is
argued, the chances for democratic success
throughout the state will be greatly en-
HANGED, and II is the realization of this
fact on the part of the leaders that may
bring about q denomination for the present

LABOR NOTES FROM
THE FIELD.

The blame for Trades unions Of San
Francisco can be laid to the door Of
the capitalist, and the contractors. The
capitalist in his greed has advanced
rents and food stuffs. the contractor
has offered increased wages to the
workers for the early completion of a
building. The Trades Council Of San
Francisco shortly after the earthquake
issued statement that they would not
make any demand for increased wages
during the rebuilding: but they never
thought that graft and grab of the
capitalist and business man would
take advantage Of the awful calamity
and extort dollars where possible thus
forcing the workers to ask for higher
wages In order to permit them to pur-
chase the necessities of life. In truth.
wages have not been Increased. but
1o"ereo' when you take into considera-
tlon the prices that have to be paid
Tor food stuff. Now let the conserva-
tive public lay the blame on the capi-
talist, just where it honestly belongs.
The trades unions did their part and
were willing to continue If thew had
not been "gouged" to the extreme.
