A Few More Reasons Why:

"The oklahoman," leading Demo.
cratic paper, in recent editorial
urged all voters to elect Democratic
members to the legislature which i
assumed would be Democratic, as Re-
publican minority members would have
no voice or influence in that body. II
the "Oklahoman's" inference that tn,
legislature would be Democratic
should be sus stained at the polls tie argu-
ment would be strong one but the
legislature will probably be Republ
can. Now let us apply the Okla
homan's" argument to Senators and
members of Congress. With the ex
ception of Oklahoma's representatives.
the next congress is already elected
with Republican majority of 5S in
the House, and - in the Senate. Re
publicans will organize the Goth con
gress and elect Mr. Cannon, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, who
will appoint every committee with Re
publican chairmen, and Republicans
maiorities. In every case the Demo-
Gratis will be minority members with
no voice or influence whatever IN
framing bills.
Let us suppose for instance, that Mr.
homa District He will be = minority
member of some unimportant com
mittee with no committee room and
perhaps not even desk room. II,
might as well stay in his hotel all day
or even at home for he will not be
asked To attend any caucus or meeting
whore bills are framed. No bill in
troduced by him would he considered
lie would not get recognition by the
speaker To talk on any bill and all
there is left is the casting of vote
with the minority.
On the other hand, il Mr. Ferguson
Is elected he would be signed to one or
more committees and very likely
given an important chairmanship. He
would assist in the discussion and
framing of every bill before his com
mittce aud could gel attention and
action on his own bills He could get
recognition from the Speaker on the
floor of the Ho.se, aud his vote would
be of value as 10y it he could force ac-
tion on his own bills. 1t would be the
same with Senators. A Democratic
senator would he useless while Re
publican senator would have both
voice and influence.
To go further, take the matter of APP
proprations Mr. Fulton could not
get single dollar for oklahoma while
Mr.. Ferguson would be in position to
get a good slice for the second district
It's prominence as ex-governor and
strong personality would give him
ready recognitio" amSng the men in
Congress who do things. The new
state will require many federal build
ings. 1t will require appropriation
for irrigation and might get II slice of
the river and harbor bill. 1t is well
known tha6t the latter is matter of
give and take; and that many votes
are traded, but Democratic vote is OF
no value whatever. Cons, quently a
vote for Fulton would be simply
thrown away, even il he were elected
contingency very improbable.

TO OPEN SHAW STREET.
DEVELOP A GROWING SUBURB.
Work On The New Street Helps Sewer
Construction The Murray Heirs
Show Appreciation.
CITY ACQUIRES RIGHT OF WAY

The heirs of the late James ID. Muir
ray and the authorities of Annapolis
have reached an agreement as 10 the
opening OF Shaw street from its present
terminus at Franklin street, Murray
Hill, t6 the bulkhead TO be construct
ed across Charles street Cove from the
present foot of Charles street to a
point on the Murray property.
The consideration agreed upon for
the property taken and the necessary
riparian rights is 5000. The deed for
the property viii be prepared at once
and will be executed by the interested
parties as soon as possible. The sat
isfactory agreement among the parties
on both sides opens the way for one OF
the most important improvements
which the city has had and one which
was essential to development of the
beautiful and growing suburban resi-
dence section of Annapolis Murray
Hill.
The acquiring of the right of way
to open a street through the Murray
property to the water enables the city
to carry out its plans for the COM
plete sewering of the whole section.
Formerly only a small part of the
residents of Murray Hill were situa-
ted so that they could connect with
public sewer. The only public sewer
in the section was inadequate and
others were compelled to do without
this nect ssity of modern life or con-
struct a private sewer at large cost.
The sewer which will go down Shaw
street, as extended, was provided un-
der the ordinance for the issuance of
bonds, which was passed by popular
vote last summer. 1t begins at Madi
son street, runs thence TO West street,
thence to Third street, thence to Nor
ris street, to second street, to Murray
avenue, to franklin street, to Shaw
street and to the water.
A sewer will also run from Cathe-
dral street down Franklin and connect
with the main outfall sewer at Shaw
street. Since this was ordered the
City Council has also ordered the Con-
struction of a sewer beginning at
Cathedral street and running down
Dean street to Shaw street and thence
to the water The present Council has
also ordered sewer which is now in
process of construction on Franklin
street, below Southgate avenue, turn
ing at Cheston avenue and emptying
into the creek. In constructing all
the new sew ers the Council has taken
great pains that they should be of am
pie size for present and future use
and in every case it has been provided
that the sewer shall empty where
there is plenty of tidal movement 60
carry away tire deposit and render it
perfectly sanitary.
This was the main reason for the
construction of the bulkhead across
Charles street Cove. Two sewers al
ready empty into that small and COM
paratively stagnant body of water
and should the new sewer, covering
SO large an area of the city, do the
same the condition would soon be-
come menace to the health of the
vicinity. In the negotiations over
the acquiring of the property, the
Murray heirs have shown an appre-
citation of the public necessity for ac-
quiring the right of way and have
INST the city halfway in every prop
osition.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

Messrs. EditoTs:-
An opportunity, rare in its occur

Nfessrs. Robert T.. Strange, VIM. Mar
tin Brady and John l.. Beall.
They are the members Of the Annap-
oils CITY Democratic Executive Com
mitiee. They are men of strong men
tai capacity, answering integrity and
unfmpeached democracy. They have
the fate OF the democracy of this city
in their hands. aud the party is for
tunafe In having men Of such character
10 face the difficulties OF the situa-
tfon. The party in this city is dor
ruant. its blood stagnant, its spirit
dead. The old method of The or
raufzation' selecting the nominees and
going To the primaries with show of
submitting the nominations to the
voters. while the ticket is already cut
and dried. has failed now in a most
suggestive manner. II is an open Sc
erct that no man, whose character and
standing warrant his election, can be
found 10 accept the nomination for
Mayor coming to him on the organ
ixation' platter. IL would mean de-
feat.
The success of the Republican party
in Annapolis would be a municipal
calamity. The quarter of a century of
successful democratic management in
this city ought not TO be surrendered
10 a party who passed over the gov
urnment of Annapolis to the demo-
Gratis, with appurtenant and append
aut to il, a broken treasury, "A mock
cry OF Ere department and a dis
creditable city administration, but this
snfD
il IS highly probable, unless the
party's organization heed the voice
al the people and that voice is-that
they shall have a potential hand IN
nominating the ticket this year, and
that, too, without the smell of ''or-
ganization' on its garments. This is
the state Of public opinion.
IC. however, the race is opened to all
aspirants without the brand of ma
chine" upon any of them, new life
will be given the democracy of this
city. and victory will be assured for
the party in July.

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN.
General Summary For The Week Ending
Monday, May 20. 1907.

on the whole a general improve
ment in the weather conditions took
place throughout the Section during
the past week, which was favorable
both on account of higher tempera-
tures and less rainfall, and the in
crease in the amount of sunshine re-
cciyed.
While the temperature was rather
low at the beginning of the week, SO
that most stations report the meal
somewhat below the normal, there
was a marked rise in temperature on
Monday the 18th, since when the
means have been about or SLIGHTLY above
the normal. Maximum temperatures
exceeding so degrees were experienced
on three days during the week. and
81 degrees occurred at keedyyille on
the l4th., Wednesday, and Sunday
the 10Th were the warmest days at
most places.
The rainfall was generally below
or about normal at most stations.
Rain fell on only one or two days,
and but few points received a maxi
mum of an inch or more in twenty
four hours. Thunderstorms occurred
generally on Thursday afternoon, and
at some stations in Delaware and
Eastern Maryland the amounts of rain
were moderately large; showers also
fell on Saturday or Sunday. While
not injurious, the rainfall WAS not
really needed, as the soil still retains
a considerable amount of moisture.
A decided advantage this week was
the predominance of bright, sunny
weather, for even on the days when
rain fell the skies were generally not
entirely overcast.
At Bristol, Anne Arundel county,
the first portion of the week was ia
vorable for work, but rains on Thurs
day soaked soil with moisture.

was a secret, known only to the in
habitants of the Island. After over
three hundred years of Spanish rule
and Spanish occupation there was not
map of the Island. There were
Businesses of which only the natives
knew and in these ravines and bushes
an ill-armed few of the Cubans defied
the American army seven years ago.
They advanced the argument if 200 900
Spanish soldiers failed to subdue their
little band, that the Americans had
an uphill fight trying to chase the
insurrectos.
The last six months, however, have
made a great change, the American
army has mace map of every
swamp and thicket of every ravine
and fastness. Cuba today has no to-
geographical secrets not known to the
American army, and give an Ameri-
can soldier a good map and there is
no revolution he cannot quell,no in-
surrection he cannot conquerand sub
