is almost impossible for anyone to
register or vote, particularly in
Baltimore, who is not legally en-
titled TO do so. II is doubtful il q
dozen fraudulent votes have been cast
in this city at any election for long
period Of years. When the Repub-
licans begin TO cry fraud. it is usual
ly a confession Of expected defeat on
the part of the leaders. who see dis
aster ahead.
Evidence is not lacking to sustain
the contention OF last week s letter.
that many of the Republican leaders
are not interested in the campaign
so far as it will aid Mr.. Gather, ex-
cept in a perfunctory way. Their
real interest is in the General AS
sembly. control of which would mean
a very great deal. With the General
Assembly. on joint ballot they could
elect State treasurer, and dictate
terms TO the Executive on nearly all
matters, especially il the Executive
should be Democrat. They could
elect a United States Senator for
both the long and short terms. and
do any number ofother things which
would prove useful and profitable
in their business as practical politi-
clans, to whom politics is business
in reality. The statesmen who are
running the Republican party in
Maryland at the present time, and
especially those who are in control
in Baltimore, are very practical.
To them politics is business, and
the control of the machine is a choice
and valuable asset, worth more than
any other asset in sight. IT can be
made to yield large dividends in the
way OF lucrative Offices and other
things, which in the hands OF prac-
tical statesmen are very profitable
and valuable in more ways than one.
Theoutlook for Democratic success
continues to grow bright. and no
one but the most confirmed pessi-
mist doubts the election of Judge
Crothers by a large majority. In
the assurance that they will elect
the State ticket Democrats must not
lose sight OF the Legislature, to cap
ture which the Republicans will
leave nothing undone.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

w
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington d. c., October II, 1907.
The general opinion expressed by
visiting politicians to this city, both
Democrats and Republicans, is that
President Roosevelt is scheming
for a nomination for q third term.
In this | do not agree with them for
| believe the President too truthful
and too much of a man to go back on
his pledge to the people and those
Republican aspirantS who desire to
succeed him. which he voluntarily
made on election night 1904. 1t is
quite possible that he would be
pleased if the Republican Conven-
ton should nominate him in spite of
his repeated declaration to his
friends that he declines TO again be
a candidate, for refusal to accept
the crown" when offered would be
unique in American politics, and al
most in the worlds history. The
welcome that the President has re-
ceived on his Southern trip means
nothing as far as party politics is
concerned, for Iowa and Illinois
will give a Republican majority,
and Missouri and the other South
ern States will give a Democratic
majority, whoever are the candi-
dates. The people Of the States
bordering on the Mississippi River
and it's tributaries are so anxious
for the improvement of the rivers
that they would greet anyone with
enthusiasm who has influence to
help the projected improvements.
Not but what Theodore Roosevelt
the man has many enthusiastic ad-
mirers, both Democrats and Repub-
licans, aad Theodore Roosevelt, the
President, has a band OF devoted
ticians who he has rewarded with
federal Offices. These, OF course,
and their relatives and friends are
ready at all times to shout for the
dispenser OF patronage with the
hope of continuance and advance
ment TO add to their zeal. Every
President when invited to visit 10
calities has met with similar ova
tons.
The reported fusion between
Hearst's Independence League and
the Republican machine of New
York City on the Legislative. county
and City ticket is surprise TO the
friends here Of Mr.. Hearst and Dem
ocratS generally When Mr.. Hearst
gave out in his Interview the other
day that in future the independence
League would make itS own nomina-
tions on the high moral ground that
both the old parties are corrupt.
people wondered what Mr. Hearst's
int 1tious were politically. Yet
now, at the first opportunity, we
are told that the Republican mach
inc managers ard the League have
agreed uron a division ofthe Offices.
and Mr.. Hearst's political manager
is to run as the candidate Of both
the League and the Republicans for
one Of the principal offices. When
Mr. Hearst was the candidate for
Go, ernor of New York, as the re.
guar Democratic nominee, the Re-
pubIicans could say nothing too
bad about him, yet now they appear
to be hand and glove with him.
The staid old New York Tribune
only approves the fusion OF the Re
