ton which is to be held there
within a few daos. There are
but three of them and each is from
a seperate county in our state of
Maryland.
The man with the long beard
and with his hair cut after the
style of the lion is from Queen
Anne, and he remarked, in a
squakey voice:
"I'm for Jackson. He'll make
the best governor for this here
grand commonwealth of Maryland
of ourn. I'm for him most of all,
cause he bears the same name as
one ofthe greatest presidents which
this country ever knowed. I'm a
jackson tar through and through,
and I'm going to stick to the
Democratic ship until she sinks or
elects Jackson.
You may be right" said the
gray haired patriarch from Carol,
as he showed the load Of Democra-
cy from one shoulder to the other
and sat upright in the car seat.
but l feel equally as certain that
I'm blowing the burrows to peace
for our party when l propose the
name of Warfeld. He's the mau
for my money and my vote. He's
done more good for our Democratic
party during his term of Office than
did ever any other man in or out
of the party. By his honesty and
straightforwardness, he has driven
out of the party all rascals and
rogues who can not endure such
manliness. I'm from Carol coun-
ty, and I'll fight and vote for War
field until my right arm has
worn itself to a shread,"
! The fat, chubby man from Gar
rett held up his hand for peace.
He threw one leg over the other,
Strengthened his collar and tie, and
then placed his ideas before the
other delegates.
Il admire your stand for War
field, as we'll as your determine
tion to make war. But for or
against Warfeld, or for or against
Jackson, let the war be against
the Republicans. They are our
strongest enemies this fall. Their
party is stronger today than ever
before in its history. Most of the
young men of the country today
who possess ability are joining
that party because it offers better
opportunities for advancement.
Between you and me, our old party
is about on its last legs, especially
in Maryland. In national affairs,
it cuts no figure at all. Under the
leadership of half dozen different
men, who have tried to get patron
age everywhere from every party,
we have been sold out Of about all
the principles we possess.
Let us quit having these con-
ferences of peace. Each one only
goes to show the presence of war.
Let each of US be first for peace,
and then later for our favorite
governor. After that my choice
is Baker, man of the people. He
is the nearest to Garrett we can
get. But I'm also for him, be-
cause l feel sure if the Democratic
party is to be victorious this fall
in the State it must be under his
leadership. AS it is, l fear very
much if the Democratic party will
have its usual majorities this fall.
The Republicans, our old rivals,
were never so united, so harmoni-
Gus, and so set upon the accom-
plishment OF any one thing as
they are upon securing the cleo
ton of Republican governor this
fall. And with the strong pres
tige and universal admiration
of the national administration
backed by Roosevelt, helping out
Maryland Republicans, l fear for
my party when l think of these
things, and the wisdom of the
American citizens"
None of the three would be of
