BALTIMORE, October 10, 1907
Hon. John Il. Briscoe. Prince Frede-
rick. CdiUeTt County. Nd:
My Dear judge have always
been OF the opinion that the judicial
Office should be divorced, as far as
possible, from politics. One o. the
best means of bringing about so de-
sirable an end is to retain any Judge
on the bench, irrespective of his DO
litical views. who has acceptably
filled his exalted position.
Il have been trying cases in the
Court of Appeals ever since your
original appointment, n 1890, some
of which were OF great political in
terest, and | take pleasure in saying
THAT YOUR WHOLECOURSEO ON

INDEPENDENTS IN LINE.
MIR. 7. Wallis Blackstone Saws
They Will Vote For CrOthers.
Mr.. BLAKIsToNE's POINTS

The question which rylanders
may have To face now is the allimpor-
tant one, Shall this State he control
led by it's white or it's black popula-
tion?'
1.-The auowed policy of the Republi-
can party in this State Is To extend the
influence and political power ofthe col
ored race.
mir. George X. Gather openly
avows that he was and is in favor of
sending cOlored men To the Legisla-
ture.
Fair elections to the Republican
mind, and especially To the mind of a
Republican candidate, mean an election
winch will i'll every way facilitate the
casting of this entire prejudiced. igno-
rant and unthinkipg vote for the Re
publican ticket.
The avowed policy of the Democra-
tie party Is To restrict this vote and
this pernicious influence in our political
system, as lar as may be done by law
full means.
Judge Cruthers stands for what the
Democratic party urges and advocates.
Il voted for the late Governor
Lowndes bscause at that tine |
thought there existed political abuses
which could be corrected only by de-
feating the Democratic power in the
State. Now conditions are altogether
differerent and better.
Il shall vote for Judge Crothers. All
independents who have the good of the
State at heart viii do the same"

VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET.

In this the last issue OF the BEA-
CON before election day, we appeal
to all citizens OF St. Mary's county
TO vote for the Democratic candi-
dates next Tuesday. We have no.
thing TO say derogatory to the Re-
publican candidates. We appeal to
you to vote for the Democrats be-
cause they are good men and they
represent Democratic principles,
and because we are convinced that
a Democratic victory at the polls is
best for the material prosperity of
our county and of our State.
The st. Mary's Democratic ticket
is representative of q thousand
white Democrats who participa-
ted in the Democratic primary which
named the ticket. Its candidates
are not the selection of any boss or
faction but are the choice of q ma
jority OF the Democratic voters of
st. Mary's. And if the white men
who participated in nominating the
ticket give it the support they are in
in honor bound to do, it is invincible.
How the Republican county ticket
was named and what and who it re-
presents are questions for Republi-
cans and none OF our affairs. We
are appealing to Democrats 70 vote
the Democratic ticket and if they
will do it. Democratic victory is
certain.
st. Marv's Democrats owe it to
their compatriots throughout the
State and to themselves to go to work
earnestly end win adhesive victory
at the polls next Tuesday. Let
every Democrat do his duty.
From all sections of the State come
assurances that the next Governor
Of Maryland will be that true Demo-
crat,
AUSTIN L. CROTHERS.
And our next Comptroller must
be the grand old man of Carroll,
JOSHUA w. Herring.
q man not only great but good.
Young men should see to it that
ISAAC LOBE STRAUS.
does not fall behind in the race but
is trium2hantly elected Attorney
General.
st. Mary's cannot afford to prove
laggard in swelling the majority.
Four years ago our county went
Democratic, and there is no good
reason WHY we should not return a
similar majority at this time.
In no part of the State could such
q victory be OF more material bene-
fit than to our people.
The State candidates are ell men
of unblemished regulations, clean
and honorable.
Only from one quarter has any
reproach been cast upon our Guber-
Material candidate, and this was
prompted by pique and self-interest,
but by which an intelligent public
have not been deceived.
Southern Maryland is represent
ed by
CALEB C. MAGRUDER.
of Prince Georges County, who is
q candidate for Clerk of the Court
OF Appeals. Mr.. Magruder is a
graduate of Georgetown College,
who afterwards studied law at the
University of Virginia. He is a |
polished gentleman. a good lawyer,
and a most considerate man in all |
his dealings.

not forget that experience is the
best teacher and that the man who
for seventeen years has sat upon the

earned the right to their esteem and
should not be cast aside for an un-

The Office of States Attorney is
one of the most important to be fill
ed in the coming election. All citi-
zens and taxpayers should bear in
! mind that Benjamin Harris Cana

tent and fearless State S officer; that
he has had a life-t time experience al
the bar and knows the law not onl y
from study of it but from long ex.
perience in its practice. And nc

The Statesman tells the story as

In spite of the many errors the
big crowd that filled beth bleachers
and took up nearly all the room in
the grand stand enjoyed the game,
for which there was more roofing
than has been heard at any other
time this season at Riverside. En-
NETT brought big bunch with them
and they were sure enough loyal
fans. Among them were a number
of women and girls, and the way
these dished out the courage dope
to their favorites was enough to win
a game without Harkness in the
center against them.

for the Prune Pickers with his fast
and stick work. He was able
to connect with Harkness' fast ones
at all times and seemed to put them
