Jails Her Husband and Elopes

SEATTLE, Wash. = Mrs. Demras
Lakton betrayed her husband to the
police as Russian bombthrower, the
'only one of nine who escaped after
being sentenced to hang" Once he
was in the power If the police, she
made hurried arrangements with par
amour to flee, from Seattle At the
last moment she repented long enough
to hurry to a priest and confess that
her story was false, then she left town
with the other man. Before the immi-
grafton officers, who had been given the
case, could release Lakton, his wife had
fled. The police had an official letter
from Aberdeen, where the woman had
spread a similar story to convince them
that her tale was true.

National Issue.

The nation at large 10 interested in
the views Of W. J. Bryan and Senator
Beveridge on the question Of centralis
alton Of power. Each has contributed
to March magazines on the question.
Mr.. Rryan says: IF the arguments
in defence of local self-government are
unsound, then the whole theory Of
self-government is defective. 1t must
be assumed that the people want to
do what is right-upon no other theory
can we have self-governmeut. It
must also be assumed that the people
can act most intelligently upon that
which they best understand. That
they can best understand thing with
which they deal daily is automatic and
it is equally true that they will study
most those things in which they are
individually interested.
Mr.. Beveridge: "Mr. Roosevelt is
powerful only as he personifies the
American people. jackson was 'des.
potic' only as he gathered into himself
and then radiated again the will Of
the people. So was Washington. Sc
was Lincoln, whose murderer exclaim-
ed, Sic semper tryannis. If Mr.. Bry-
an should become president, he could
be 'despotic' only as he represented
the convictions Of the people. Mr..
Bryan is wrong in thinking that
the withdrawal of power from the
state would breed Indifference to pub
lie affairs: for have the people ever
taken such an interest in public affairs
in all our history as they do now?
And was there ever such systematic
absorption of power by the Federal
Government as there is now?-Albany

TENNIS SEASON BEGINS.
The tennis season at the White
House opened this week, the game be-
ing the first the President has had on
the grounds in the rear of his Office
since last fall. The past winter has
been so wet and muddy that this is the
first chance the President has had to
invite some of his tennis friends to a
combat. The game was lively one,
and in addition to the President, those
who participated were Ambassador
Jusserand of France, Secretary of the
Interior Garfield and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon. Much to the
pleasure of the President, the most

Since Congress adjourned President
Roosevelt has been devoting much Of
his time to clearing away the work
that accumulated during the last few
weeks of the session and putting in
shape for his summer vacation which
is to be long one. He is looking for
ward to it with great eagerness and
particularly to that part which will be
spent at the jamestown Exposition
where he will journey for the opening
day on April 26th. After that he in

Of that historic stream. Shortly after

The First Railroad to Enter New
Union Station, Washington.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 21.-On7 and after
October 27, 1907, the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will abandon its present pass
enger station at New Jersey Avenue
and c Street, Washington, D. c., and
occupy the new Union Station at the
intersection of Massachusetts and Della
ware Avenues, two blocks northeast of
the old station. The Baltimore & Ohio
will be the first to use this magnificent
structure, and all passenger trains,
through and local, to or from Washing
ton. will use this station.
AS matter of history the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, the first railway of
America, was the first railway to enter
Washington, in 1885, and it is fitting
that it be the first to open the doors of
the great central station at Washington,
which will eventually be used by all the
railroads which enter the National
Capital.

ing. It is an ordeal they do not wish to
encounter. Democratic legislation on
the registration and ballot questions
shows fOrcibly that the purpose Was to
exc lude voters who would not be with
and for that party. Of course these
prohibitions were covertly aimed at the
colored people, but the fact is, as is
now well known, that more white vot-
ers have been harmed than colored
ones.
The Poe amendment, as is well known
was a Democratic measure, through
not favored by Gov. Warfeld. The OBJ
ject of it was to give the DISTINGUISHING
business a constitutional foundation, so
as not to be interfered with by any an
tie rior authorities. 1t placed the power
to enfranchise, or disfranchise voters in
the hands of the registration office. I'm
der it they could have refused registra-
ton to majority Of persons fit to be
registered, by asking them few diff
ficult constitutional questions, which
they would not be able to answer. But
fortunately for the us the odious amend
ment was voted down by the people,
rega rdless Of party feelings, and the
honor of our state saved, at least to that
extent.
Andnow let it be shown how and in
what manner our registration and ballot
system affect The voters and election re-
suits in our good old state. According to
official records there are in the state
225, $50 registered white voters and 80
301 colored votes-277, $50 in all. At
our last election in 1906 there were cast
only 191, 632 voters. The stay-home and
uncounted voters were 50, 258; and futh-
err, chat from %, 600 to 30, 900 were
thrown out or uncounted on account of
defects in the ballot in not coming up
to the requirements of our intricate
laws No wonder we hear 50 much
about trick ballots much ground for
the talk In Allegany county there are
Y, 985 registered voters, but at the
election of 1906 only 5,9O6 ballots were
counted. Garrett county has 4,149 re-
gistered voters, but only 1871 ballots

Governor and the members electaG 10
the House of Delegates for the last
several years have refused to repeal
this law; they are now trying to make
it worse. Failing in the Poe amend
ment, they have asked for a vote
on call for a Constitutional Conven-
ton They want to make the Poe
amendment a part of the Constitution
and reduce the voters of the State to
few in number. The Democratic
candidate for Governor was a leader in
the Senate at the time this bill was
passed at the extra session TheItwo
Democatic candidates of the House of
Delegates in this county are pledged by
their party platform to standby, up
hold and vote to keep this law on the
statute books. Why? Because they
are the regulars Of the regular" but
they don't want the voter to know this.
1t was the regulars that force this
down the threats of the Independents,
because they had control without the
vote Of the Independents They have
endeavored in this county by what they
call their own platform to avoid the
issue, to deceive the voters by calling
attention to other reforms. Have you
ever known the Democratic party or
their candidates when elected, toreform
anything? Veterans, and the sons Of
veterans, and neighbors Of veterans, do
not be fooled! The paramount issue is
the repeal of this infamous election and
trick ballot law. When this is complete
and our suffrage returned to US again,
we can look after the other reforms. A
vote for the Democratic candidates for
the House Of Delegates is not only a
vote for this infamous election and
trick ballot law, Poe amendment if they
win, but is also vote for a Democratic
candidate for U. S. Senator. This in
turn means free trade and Democratic
ruin. Do not be deceived by personal
appeals. Our candidate for Governor,
George r. Gather, and our two candi-
dates for the House of Delegates. have
pledged themselves to the passage of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-10-24

an election law which viii allow the
voter by a single mark to cast his vote
for all the candidates Of the party of
the party of his choice and to have that
vote counted as cast. This is what the
voters Of this section Of Garrett want.
return to!a simple ballot, and we ap-
peal to veterans and sons of veterans in
other sections of the county to join us
in the paramount issue of this campaign
and lend your aid in rolling up an over
whelming majority on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 18th, for the entire Republican ticket
and show the Democrats that we can
not be deceived and will no longer toler-
ate this unfair election law. You will
hear from me again on the election law
before this campaign is over.

CONTRACT AWARDED.
For Safety Tracks on The l7-nile
Grade Has Been Nade.

The Baltimore and Ohio Monday

on the the nam line, to F. H. Clement

is a precaution against accidents on the
steep grade between Altamont and

the heaviest on the main line.
The improvement will consist of

connection at various points along it,
If one or more cars should become dis
connected or even a whole train, they
can rapidly be switched to the third rail

counted a. the last election. This is
the way tne system works
From Democratic sources we are
hearing much about negro domination is
a mere whim. l know of more suitable
name for it. There is not a colored man
holding office in our county or the state,
at least Of any Importance, although
they have over 80, 600 registered voters
IN the state, almost one-fifth of the
whole. 1t is an Obvious fact, that color
ed people as class are not clamoring
for or hunting office, in the manner the
white men are doing it. Let this fact
stand to their credit; and may they re-
main in that suitable relation. But
might not the white folks modify their
zeal for office, somewhat at least. An
other view of this domination question:
Under our national constitution, the
colored race counted much as the white
IN forming a basis for congressional rep
resentative. The colored population in

The congressional basis is about 200, 600
for a representative; so that population
elects 40 members to the lower House
Of Congress and nearly all that basis
elects Democrats congressman. So
really this vast colored population helps
the Democracy in their domination.
Were hese 5000, 00O people without
civil existence, there would be about
40 congressman less, and most domina-
ton would fall upon the Democratic
party. Surely the party can see this.
This paper comes from a Republican
voter, old as the party itself; an unfail-
ing adherent to its principals and creeds,
because they were and now are, ma
tional, patriotic, just and for the good
of all, and in strict accordance with our
national constitution and adverse to
sectionalism, localism and prejudices of
all kinds. This is not only union of
states, but also a nation; a leading
member Of the great internationally.
In preparing this paper have care
fully avoided the use of epithets or
harsh expressions of any kind towards
our political opponents, not forgetting
they are fellow cit zens, and entitled to
respectful treatment. 1t is however
true, the wrongs and errors complained
of are of their enactments or actions.
But let we Republicans have the power,
and we will cure them willingly for all
the people Of our good old state. No
doubt when the Republican party is
given the necessary power, and have
cured the existing evils and hardships,
Democrats as we'll as Republicans. will
feel as they should, grateful for the
general relief and cure of unbearable
evils and harkships.
Of course these remarks are to be in
the interest of the county ticket just
announced, in like manner as the state
| ticket.

RULE SAVORS OF OLIGARCHY
: Democrats Have TeO Long Been in
Power in naryland.
Cumberland, Md, Oct. :, 1907.

cumberland, Md, Oct. Z, 1917.
To the Editor of The REPUBLICAN,:
The Democratic party has had full
control of the political affairs of Mary
for 40 years, with the exception Of
four years, when Hon. Lloyd Lowndes
was governor. Not in the history of our
state since its birth in the memorable
year of 1776 has there been such a pro-
longed reign of party power almost a
dynasty in its character. Such rule is
not for the real interests of the whole
people, but mostly for the few in pow
er. 1t is neither Democratic, Republican
nor even American in political effect
The masses Of the people want change,
and an improvement in our state gov
eminent and it general affairs. And
now is the acceptable time to secure it,
by the election Of the Republican state
ticket, Of excellent men, for Governor
George R. Gather; Comptroller, James
H. Baker; Attorney General, Hammond
Urner, and Clerk of the Court of APP
peals, Thomas Parran. This ticket needs
no eulogy, and is worthy of the support
not only Of the Republican party but
many not within its lines-of independ-
ent, and individual views. of whom
there are now many. The ticket is a fit
and suitable one, worthy of general sup
port. These reasons of themselves ought
to be sufficient for the Democratic
party, but there are many others of a
more positive nature, some of which
will be placed in view of voters, in this
paper.
But the vital issue of our next cleo
ton will be the ballot and registration
questions. They will be paramount to
all others. The ballot is the very founda-
ton of our governmental system. The
will and wants of the people are
made known by ballots of voters. That
our whole election system is in a most
deplorable and oppressive condition,
none can deny, unless it be the few who
are the benefciaries thereof. And let it
not be overlooked that the Democratic
party is the author of these wrongs and
hardships now borne by our people, the
result of their persistent legislation
from time to time, to disfranchise or
prevent persons from voting who might
not support that party, Party domina-
ton has been given for the convenience
or engagement to persons who have the
constitutional qualifications to vote.
True there should be restrictions or
restraints upon the ballot, but they
should be reasonable, just and in ac-
cordance with the constitution, and not
purposely prohibitory. Our election law
should be plain and ineligible, so that
the uueducated may understand or be
made to understand. But as they now
exist, even intelligent persons are in
doubt. Elections ought to be such as to
draw voters to the polls, not to prevent
them from coming. Many voters now
dread or so much dislike the election
system, as to prevent them from attend
