THE GREAT FREDERICK FAIR
struction, That No Person Should
Miss.

The Great Frederick Fair will this year be
held October 22,25, and the management of
the Fair is putting forth their best efforts to
eclipse all former exhibitions. In addition to
the vast aggregation of fine cattle, horses and
other live stock and the splendid racing which
will take on each of the four days of the Fair.
the free attractions in front of the grand stand
this year will, beyond question, surpass those
of former years, and afford all who attend the
Fair full measure of pleasure and amuse-
ment. One of the attractions will be the Six
Flying Banvards, the greatest aerial marvels
in the world who will make their first and
only appearance in Maryland at The Frederick
Fair. The Great Chick, the Wizard of the
Wheel, with the smallest bicycle rider in the
world, and other equally interesting and en-
tertaining acts go to complete the program.
Besides there will be plenty else to entertain
and amuse, and those who miss the Frederick
Fair this year will be denied the privilege of
Witnessing the biggest and best Fair to be held
in Maryland

Corruption Funds and Benefits.

The Republican National Campaign fund
expended by Chairman Cortelyou for the
Roosevelt election is reputed to have been a
little more than 81, 000, 900. Where and how
did they get it? The official evidence in the
Life Insurance investigations showed that
part of it came from the trust funds OF policy
holders that should have been sacred TO wild
ows and orphans, that Hartman, who the
President now charges is an undesirable clu-
zen, gave $50, 900; that the discredited Depew
gave S25, OOO and his friends in Wall street
about 500, 1000 more; That MIR; Rodgers OF
the Standard Oil Trust and. Mr.. Stillman,
president of the National City--the Rockfel
ier-Bank and number of ot!.er trusts and
corporation magnates were also subscribers is
charged and not disproven and where the
other millions came from is not certainly
known, but large amounts were undoubtedly
paid by the protected trusts which have always
been liberal producers of corruption funds 10
keen their Republican friends in office. That
is the chief reason the tariff has not been re-
vised. The other contributors have also had
their quid pro quo, for no one seriously be-
lieves that the Standard Oil Trust will ever
pay the fine assessed against it. We know
that Hartman will get immunity. We know
that Depew was elected Senator by the aid OF
the Administration. We know that the Stan
vi banks nave large government uePooi.@'
without interest, and when the names of the
other subscriber are divulged there wi il prob
ably be no difficulty in tracing favors received
Does not this evidence of the trusts and cor
porations having paid these large sums TO the
Roosevelt campaign fund plainly show that
the charge made by Judge Parker just before
The election of 1904 was true although Presi-
dent Roosevelt denied it. Yet no restitution
even of the widows and orphans funds has
ever been made by the Republican National
Committee, and President Roosevelt has never
made the amende honorable to Judge Park
er, or even poor excuse which would be
better than none. 1t is quite probab e that
the same dastardly tactics will be resorled !"
in coming elections and this evidence of r.
publican corruption and dishonor is produced
to prevent voters from being deceived i'll the
same or some similar manner. When you
see or hear of large amounts Of money beng
expended at some future election. just ask
yourself the question. Where and how did
they get it?

States Attorney Steele is at work for
the Democratic ticket with enthusiastic
vigor and is doing some very effective cam
paigning among his friends. Mr.. Steele s
record as prosecuting officer for the county
during the past four years, should be a
source of pride to himself and to the party
which is responsible for his election, as he
is commended on all sides for his ability
and efficiency as an officer. The conduct
of such men and their records of faithful
ness to public trusts, is one of the reasons
why Carroll county is the best and most
economically governed county in Maryland.
The record of man like Mr.. Steele is one
of the best assets party can have when
it presents its claims for a continuance of
power to the people.

Chairman Murray Vandiver, of the
Democratic State Committee has engaged
for his assistant during the campaign, Mr..
Albert J. Almoney, editor of the Rock
vile Advocate Every day, from morn
ing to night, Messrs Vandiver and AL
money may be found at headquarters in
the Eutaw House, busily engaged in at
tending to the almost innumerable details
Of the campaign, and directing several
stenographers and typewriters in their
work. Mr.. Vandiver is believer in the
potency of the mail service in communicat-
ing with the local leaders throughout the
State. He sends out literally hundreds of
letters every week, and thus keeps in close
contact with what is going on in every
county. Not a Democratic politician,
however obscure, but what hears from him
several times during the campaign, and he
gives the closest attention to the large
number of letters he receives every day,
and promptly answers them. He attends
to all the details connected with the meet
ings held everywhere, and has long list
of speakers in reserve to send in case where
the regularly scheduled orators fail to keep
their engagements. He has large scrap
books where he keeps properly indexed,
the political matter which appears in the
papers, and has on file the Democratic
county papers. System regulates every
thing under Mr.. Vandiver's control, and
he is mine of information on all matters
pertaining to political affairs.

The candidates on the Democratic State
ticket, Messrs. Herring, Straus and Ma
gruder, have been travelling in Southern
Maryland the past week, and large and
enthusiastic meetings have been held in
St. Mary's, Calvert, Charles and Prince
Georges counties, and the loyal Demo
Gratis of the black belt, as that section is
called, have been aroused to great activity.
As Judge Crothers is still confined to his
bed and was unable to 60 with his col,
legues, his place was taken by State Sena-
tor Arthur p. German, of Howard coun-
ty, who has proved an able an eloquent
substitute. Mr.. German has been win,

Democrats of that section of the State, all
of whom were admirers of his distinguished
father, were greatly pleased.

The candidates on the Democratic
county ticket, together with the members
OF the State Central and County Commit
tees held meeting at the Court House on
Monday. All the nominees were present,
every district was represented, and the at
tendance was much larger than usual on
such occasions. A plan Of campaign was
mapped out and discussed, and every one
present reported that Democrats in his
section were united and harmonious and
full of zeal in behalf of the ticket. a
general expression of opinion developed the
fact that the party outlook was never bet
ter and the belief was unanimous that the
whole ticket would be elected by IA larger
majority than usual.

The Democrats of Carroll county are
losing no time in going to work for the
State and local tickets to be voted for on
November 9Th They are awake to the
fact that while the county is safely Demo
cratic by good majority, it will not do to
remain idle, and as a consequence there Is
much activity in every district and unreg-
istered voters are being looked after with
great interest. With full vote register
ed and polled, the whole county ticket
will be elected and good majority rolled
up for the entire State ticket. The Re
publicans are at work, but there is appar-
emily not so much zeal in their efforts as
in that of the majority party.

sheriff. Mr.. Gettier friends are indig-

Academy Of Music.

A new play to theatregoers of Baltimore
and. vicinity, entitled "a Fool and A Girl, "
will begin "a weeks engagement at the Acad
denny of Music, Baltimore, on Monday even.
ing, October Z, with matinees Wednesday and
Saturday. David Wark Griffith is the author
of this new play and it is his first writing as a
dramatist, although he has climbed the ladder
of success as a writer of magazine stories.
The story of the play is of the adventures
of young man whose life has been full OF
idealislic dreams and, being rich, he has been
able to build golden shrines for his ideals and
protect them from the vandals of poverty
stricken experience up to the time of the
opening of the play. Then he leaves his
country home to see the world, and in Sau
Francisco begins the worldly experience
which generally ends in the destruction of
youth ideals. An adventures of that city
of the coast. learning of the youthful Fools
wealth, sets a trap TO ensnare him. The
famous hop fields near the San Jose mission
are the scene of her first endeavor. and she
sends there her younger sister, who is the
Girl of Mr.. Gritfith's story. Beneath the
soft summer III ght there the Fool meets the
Girl, and as the latter plays well her chosen
role of an innocent country girl, he falls IN
love with her. Genuine love, however, some
how comes to the Girl also, and she develops
conscience ana creams OF cOnlesSlES u hef
youthful lover that she is not what she seems,
but here proposal of marriage interteres
with the confession, and she consents to be
the young mans wife, keeping silence as to
that past of which she has grown ashamed
and afraid and yet realizing in her sorrow
what tangled web we weave when first we
practise to deceive
At last the Fool is told by one of her own
accomplices what the Girl really is, but to
that he does not give consideration. This
last evidence of his great love over~he'ms
her and she confesses the whole story to him.
The production of this new play is made
under the personal direction of Mr.. Hacketr,
who for its Interpretation selected company
of more than ordinary excellence. including
such well known players as John W. Dean,

The Enmitsburg Chronicle.

Under the management of MIR. Sterling
Gait, the Emmitsburg Chronicle has be-
come one of the best county papers in the
State, and is model of good Typography
and press work. Emmitsburg is rather an
unpromising looking field for newspaper,
as it is a quiet, sleepy old place, living
largely in its memories of past, rather than
in the rushing, busting twentieth century.
But Mr.. Calf seems determined to wake
up the people of the old burg, and indca
tons are not wanting that he is meeting
with success. At any rate his paper is
arousing Emmitsburg to sense of its i'm
portanee and unused advantages, and the
inhabitants are confidently awaiting the
prosperity which they feel sure will come
along in the near future.

The contest for the United States Sena-
torship. which will be settled so far as the
Democrats are concerned by the primaries
to be held on election day, November s.,
does not seem to be attracting the attention
expected when the arrangement was made
by the state convention in August. The
entries will close next Wednesday, and so
far but Two candidates, namely Congress
man J. F. C. Talbot and ex- Congressman
Joshua W. Miles have gone into the race.
1t is expected, however, that Governor
Warfeld and Ex-Governor John Walter
Smith will be on the track before the time
expires. Other possibilities are ex-Gov-
ernor Frank Brown and Mr.. John p. Poe.
People generally do not like the injec-
ton of the Senatorial question into the cam
paign, as it complexities matters and will
probably not result in the selection of a
candidate better than one chosen in the
time honored way. The demand, how
ever was made by the friends of certain
candidates, voiced by the Baltimore daily
papers, and now that arrangements have
been made for the primaries the system is
entitled to fair trial.

Several Of the distinguished gentlemen
who are candidates for the United States
Senate seem to be determined to do all in
their power to make the whole affair ride
ulous so far as the primaries to take place
on November 9Th are concerned. These
gentlemen have held two meetings, and
some of them seem to be afraid to submit
their cases to the Democratic voters of the
state. The Democrats by large majority
undoubtedly favor the popular plan by
which the question would be decided in
favor of the man who receives the most
votes-the only real Democratic solution
of the question. If the voters are to have
any say in the question as to whom the
legislature shall elect to succeed the late
Senator German, let it be settled in the
old fashioned Democratic way, in favor OF
the man who receives plurality of the
votes cast. Other officers are all elected
this way, and it is the only safe and just
manner in which to settle the Senatorship.
