MaoLean was captured July awhile
he was negotiating with Raisuli for
the latter's pardon, and has since been

tween Baltimore and Hampden. To
day there are hundreds of thousands of
trolley lines connecting not only vari-
GUS parts of each city, but cities far
distant from each other. Nor has the
development of. the trolley interurban
been confined to any one section of
the country. The electric interurban
originated in the east, but it has found
its greatest development and improve
ment in the west. Spokane has more
miles of electric railroads than any
other city in the Pacific coast states.
Three hundred miles of electric line
are in daily operation in and out of
Spokane. record which even the city
of Los Angeles cannot approach.
The history of the inception, the de-
velopment and the present condition of
the electric interurban is as interest
ing as any romance. 1t is the romance
of the steell nail. Few people know
this story. Fewer stop to realize the
improvements which are yearly being
made in this important service. To

The Prohibition Party at Work
MARYLAND HOPEFUL
Harmonious Reorganization
Good Vote for Frizzell
Follows

Baltimore, Md, Nov 28.-(Special correspond
ence AT our state convention held at Mount
ain Lake Park August 81, our Baltimore city
chairman, Mr.. Geo. R. Gorsuch, was elected state
chairman. On Friday evening" meeting called
for the purpose, Mr.. w. Morse Keener elected
city chairman. At the same time those members
of the city committee, who also members
of the state committee, voluntarily resigned and
their places the city committee were filled
with some of our most active and able young
men, who have made themselves almost invaluable
in our recent brilliant campaign.
This action places city and state at the
forefront in organization and under unusually
efficient leadership. Harmony, unity and en-
thusiasm prevail. The outlook is rich with
promise. The country can expect to hear good
report from Maryland in the coming year.
When we make allowance for the large number
of votes thrown out, we believe nearly 1900
votes were cast for the Prohibition party in this
city in the late election.
We have not been able as yet to secure the
entire vote of the state, but Garrett county has
advanced from % votes for Gisriel for governor
in 1908 to 1874 votes for Frizze in 1907 This
large percentage of increase is due to the Prohi-
bition conference held at Mountain Lake Park
August 20 and 80 and to the energetic canvass
that followed under county chairman, H. N.
Cuppet
We are also expecting encouraging news from
some of Our other counties
The Anti Saloon League has been very active
in state this year, evidently expanding large
sums in salaries and newspaper Advertising but
if they have shown any favor to the Prohibition
party, our leaders have not heard of it. 1t seems
something of anomaly that an anti-saoon or
ganizaton should throw the weight of its in
uence to prosaloon political parties, thus assist
emoluments of office are willing to stand on
liquor-license platform and in a 1iquor-license
party, knowing that license means saloons, and
saloons drunkenness, profanity, vice, crime,
divorce, murder and suicide
