president of the American Ice Company, tell
ing of numerous deals and methods used in
cornering the market, have been taken pos
session of by Attorney General Jackson, of
New York, through court order. The dis
trict attorney will be asked to lay this before
the grand jury. These letters are written in a
satirical vein, laughing at the helpless Compel

Jerome as "a perfectly calm, sane man, who
approaches the matter in a sensible, business
like way" Until his removal to New York
two or three years ago Mr.. Oler was resident

JUDGE CRoTHERs, the Democratic nominee
for Governor of Maryland. is suffering with
IN attack of typhoid fever at bis home in
Elkton. He attended the notification meet
ing at the Lyric, in Baltimore, on Friday night
Of last week, having been complaining for
several days before. On Saturday he returned
to his home and it was noticed by bis physi-
clans that his temperature was gradually ris-
ing. On Monday morning the trouble was
declared to be typhoid and the physicians said
that while his condition is in no way alarming,
he is good for at least six weeks confinement.
This means, of course, that the Judge will be
unable to take any further part in the cam
paign. Much sympathy has been everywhere
expressed for Judge Crothers and his speedy
and complete recovery is earnestly hoped for.

GATHER AND URNER
On the Present Maryland Election Law
They Denounce It and Promise, If
Elected, to Have It Repealed.


In his speech at the notification meeting on
Monday night Mr.. George r. Gather, Repub
llcan nominee for Governor, had the follow
ing to say on the present election law in
Maryland:
1.-The present miserable subterfuge is inten'
ded to destroy the intent of the honest voter
and to defeat bis will. Trick ballots OF every
description and every devious device wnIcn
ingenuity could suggest have been resorted 10.
Instead of a ballot easily marked and easily
counted, we have law under which no cltl-
zen, no matter how intelligent, or how much ne
may contribute to the support OF bis govern
ment, can be sure that his ballot has been
counted at any election. The thunbmark OF
an INSCRIPTIONS judge, the slightest mutilation
of the ballot, the making of one cross marx
out of great number which may in the slight
est degree slip beyond the square, the inability
to refold ballot in the exact creases in which
it was originally folded-any0ne of these mas
terly (2) inventions will destroy the right of an
American citizen to cast his ballot; but above
and beyond all this, every voter is required,
within a few moments, in dimly nightly
booth, to make "a cross marks in the city OF
Baltimore and almost as many in the counties
of this State, at the coming election in order
to vote for all the candidates and measures
which are presented to him for his decision.
There are thousands of good citizens in this
State who are, from their early training or on
account OF their occupation, which does not
qualify them for such an effort, practically
DISTINGUISHED by this onerous requirement.
cannot believe that the people of this State
will longer tolerate these burdens upon the
franchise.
at should be the first duty ola Republican
Legislature and Republican Governor to en-.
act law which will do away with all these
abuses which will restore to all the people OF
the State Of Maryland the right to vote and to
have that vote counted as cast, and especially
to enact some feature which will allow the
voter, If be so desires, by a single mark, to
cast bis ballot for all the candidates of the
party of his choice without being subjected to
the dangers and annoyances of the present
law. Moreover, such system will promote
independent voting. Any independent party
voter can easily and safely, by few marks,
vote for several candidates of the opposite
party whom he favors, and still vote the bal
ance of bis party ticket. whilst the real inde-
pendent will mark each candidate for whom
be wishes to cast bis ballot in the same man.
ner as he now exercises the privilege. A dis
honest ballot debauches and corrupts the cleo
torate of our State and lowers the moral stand
ards of The people. An honest ballot, fair
count and the participation of every citizen in
the affairs of his government, are the founda-
ton stones of American institutions"
