HATTIE WILLIAMS
It the Academy of Music, Baltimore,
November II.

Dashing Hattie Williams comes to the
Academy of Music for an engagement of one
week. with matinees Wednesday and Saturday,
beginning Monday night, November H..
Hard work, charming personality, undoubted
talent and more hard work have brought to
Miss Williams not only stellar honors but the
distinct advantage Of making her appearance
under the management of Charles trohman.
Mr.. Frohman is credite" with being Il most
excellent Judge OF ability and drawing
strength and he is famous, too for The almost
prodgaI liberality with which he invests all OF
his productions Miss Williams although great
drawing card in herself is supported oy a
company, seventy in number. including many
of the cleverest people on the stage, aud the
staging and costuming of the musical play
proved delightful artistic surprise even TO
stated New York when "'rhe,, Little Cherub'
was first produced there only year ago.
Altho it opened on the very worst night OF a
New York Midsummer, 1.-The Little Cherub'
became the rage at once, aad 1t was seven
months before Mr.. Frohman could take it
away from the Criterion theatre. Since then
it has had to play second engagement there.
Miss Williams comes here with the absolutely
original production. The costuming of the
production has caused Il sensation among
society women and their dressmakers in New
York, Boston and Chicago, but as Mr.. Froh-
man does not believe altogether in the adage
that ''clothes make the man or woman, he
has seen to it that these handsome gowns are
worn by women who are handsome enough to
do justice to them.
But 1.-The Little Cherub'' is a musical
play, and long before gowns or scenery were
thought Of lyrics dainty and lyrics droll.
lyrics sentimental and lyrics salrical were set
to music tuneful and catchy,a story of sustain
ed interest was woven and real characters
were drawn. Owen Hall and Ivan Caryll,
authors of many other musical success attend
ed to part of the work and have added to their
fame by the undertaking.
The story deals with the adventures of
Molly Montrose Hattie Williams), n dashing
comedienne, who is secretly engaged to
Lord Congress, son of the Earl of Sanclobury.
Sanctobury poses as a retormer and is appar-
emily greatly shocked when Molly visits his
home to coach his four charming daughters for
an amateur entertainment. After many ludi
crous adventures, however, the Earl is so
deeply smtten that he offers his hand to Molly,
who accepts it in the belief that it is his son
that the old Earl is speaking for Of course
everything is Strengthened out satisfactorily in
the end after three hours of uprOarious fun.
The company supporting Miss Williams
includes Henry '. Donnelly. last seen here
with Elsie Janis in 1.-The Vanderbilt Cup;
Will West, James Blakeley, the English COM
edian who made such a hit with Edna May in
"The School Girl;'' Bertram Wallis, Lulu
Glaser's leading man before he joined Miss
Williams: Mabel Hollins, Winona Winter,
Adele Rowland, Corinne Frances and Trixie
j ennery, Il dancer.

Carroll County Democratic.

With the exception of two candidates,
all the men on the Democratic ticket were
elected in this county by gratifying major
tiles, while the nominees on the state
ticket received satisfactory vote. Again
it was demonstrated on Tuesday that this
is Democratic county, and that the peO-
pie prefer to have their local affairs admin
istered by members of the Democratic
party. Entrusted again, therefore, with
the authority, the Democrats of Carroll
are entitled to look upon Tuesdays cleo
ton as an endorsement of their course, and
as a mandate from the majority of the cit
liens to continue to administer county af
fairs in the same economical and careful
manner that has been the system for the
past forty years. That this will be done
is assured from the class of men that have
been chosen to fill the respective offices.
Democrats generally greatly regret the
defeat of Mr.. Gettier, candidate for sheriff,
and DIR. Norris, one of the candidates for
the House of Delegates. With wave of
Prohibition sentiment sweeping over the
country it was hardly to be expected that
this section would escape, and Democrats
and Republicans alike have been swept
down by its reflex action. Mr.. Gettier
suffered as others have suffered under sim
liar circumstances, and no amount of work
done by members of his party could have
saved him.
Dr. Norris defeat appears to have been
the result of a misunderstanding, and is no
reflection on that worthy gentleman, who
would have been an honor to his county at
Annapolis next winter. The defeat of the
two gentlemen is in no wise defeat of the
Democratic party, nor does it in any way
reflect on either Of them. They were
simply the victims of political circumstances
over which neither they nor any one else
had any control.
The Democrats of Carroll have reason
to rejoice, and it is not too much to say
that they are rejoicing with an exceeding
great joy. After an unbroken lease Of
power for forty years to have that power
continued by good majority is an endorse
ment to be proud of, and it is doubtful if
there is similar case on record anywhere.
Certainly not in Maryland.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 8, 1907
THE ELECTION.
WESTMINSTER, MD.

The result of the election in Maryland
on Tuesday should be a source of gratlti-
cation to all good citizens irrespective of
party, for it insures a continuance Of the
supremacy of the taxpaying, white people
of the State for the next four years. 1t
also puts the stamp of condemnation on the
character of the campaign of personal Will
cation and abuse waged by the Republi-
cans and their allies, and gives notice to
the mudslingers that the majority Of the
people of Maryland are opposed to such
methods.
The victory won was so sweeping In its
character, including as it does all the State
Offices and two-thirds of the General As
sembly, that it places great responsibility
upon the Democratic party. The prlncl-
pal issue involved was the suffrage law,
and upon the victorious party is placed the
responsibility of presenting to the people
of the State an amendment to the Constl-
tution which will so restrict the suffrage as
to eliminate from the registration lists the
ignorant black voters, and prevent the
disfranchisement of any worthy white man.
That this can be done is evident from the
fact that it has beeu accomplished In all
other States where the ignorant negro
voter is a menace to good government.
That it must be done in Maryland is now
the mandate of the people, and the execu
ton of the mandate is placed upon the
General Assembly, elected last Tuesday.
The people of Maryland, by large
majority have entrusted the government of
the State to the Democratic party once
more. While errors have been committed
by the party in its management OF affairs
in times past, they have been comparative
ly trifing in their effect, and have resulted
in very little harm to the public welfare.
That the party in its continuation OF the
management of the trust will be true to
the people is assured from the character of
the men chosen to execute that trust As
one of the best and most economically gov
erned States in the Union Maryland stands
in the front rank. That the proud record
will be kept up is now certainty.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1907-11-08

The Democrats of Carroll county are
especially gratifed at the vote of confidence
given their party on Tuesday last. While
Democrats generally are entitled to the
credit for the victory, it should not be for
gotten that such triumphs are rarely won ex
cept by good organization and good general
ship. On all sides great credit is given to the
County Chairman, Mr.. B. F. Grouse, for
his excellent management of the campaign,
and Republicans especially say that their
party would stand much better chance in
this county had they such leader as MIR.
Grouse. \ party organization without
leader in whom the people have conf
dence, is like ship without a pilot, and
Mr.. Grouse has proved to be IA good pilot
to the Democratic ship on more than one
OCCASION
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1907-11-08

Judge William H. Thomas was elected
Chief Judge of this Circuit, which Com
prises the counties of Carroll, Howard and
Anne Arundel. His majority over his
Republican competitor, John Writ Ran
dali of Annapolis, was as follows Carroll
county, 355, Howard county, 1903, Anne
Arundel 624-Total 1892.
The elevation of Judge Thomas to the
Chief Judgeship will require the Governor
to appoint an Associate Judge who will
serve for two years, or until his successor
is elected in November, 1909. 1t is sup
posed that the new associate will be~chosen
from the Howard County Bar, although
the Governor may decide to name him from
among the Carroll county lawyers, if he
chooses to do so, and there is no doubt but
that one of several Of the able attorneys of
Westminster would not refuse the honor
should it be handed out his way.

The people of Carroll county, irrespec-
tive of party have reason to be proud OF
the order and good conduct displayed at the
polls and throughout the country districts
on Tuesday. No money was used, no
whiskey was on hand, and the votes cast
were the free and unhampered expression
of the sober popular will The anti-brib-
cry agreement was carried out to the let
ter, and it was demonstrated clearly and
emphatically that Carroll is Democratic
without the use of a dollar except what
was necessary to pay the Legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign.

TOM JOHNSON'S VICTORY.
Is Of National AS Well AS Of Local
Significance.
From the New York World.


The election of Tom johnson for the fourth
time to be Mayor of Cleveland is of national
as we'll as local significance. Representative
Burton was the strongest Republican in sight.
He had been reelected to Congress without
Democratic opposition after long service in
Washington 1t was at the personal instance
of President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and
Secretary Garfield that he accepted the nomi-
nation. Tom Johnson's victory means not
only disappointment but defeat for them.
But while the Administration sympathies
with Burton were open and avowed, the Cleve-
land campaign was fought wholly on the local
streetrailway issue. All other considerations
were overshadowed. Burton fought Johnson
or his own favorite ground and reduced the
Mayors majority below the figures of the last
election.
With two years more in the Mayors chair
johnson must now prove whether he is really
capable of solving the street, railway problem,
or whether he is merely tlashy agitator for
his own political ends. If Cleveland loses by
not securing a level.headed man like Burto II
for Mayor, the country will gain by is con-
tinuance in Congress, where in the past he has
rendered such distinguished service.
