condition became acute and a
physician was called III. During
the early part of the week he inn
proved somewhat, and it was
thought he would speedily re-
cover, but pneumonia developed,
and for severalldaYs hIsCOnditiOn
caused concern.

nominated for governor by the Repub-

It is claimed By the Swlsher wing
that they can beat the Democrats
without the aid OF the Scherr faction.
while the Scherr faction maintains that
with Swisher at the head OF the ticket
no compromise is possible. and unless
a compromise is effected the Democrats
will carry the State Every effort was
made 20 get Swisher on the track. but
he stubbornly refused TO give way 20
a man mutually acceptable. Scherr
therefore declares that he will fight the
ticket to the last ditch, as ne does not
propose to be ground TO pieces BY the
machine steamroller. Scherr has been
nominated for governor at the head OF

Nebraska For Bryan.

Nebraska has indorseds her "favorite
son. William Jennings Bryan. the great
commouer being declared to be the ideal
Democrat by his party in State conven-
tiou, and pledgiug allegiance to his presi
dental aspirations by instructing the
delegates to the National Democratic
Convention at Denver in July to vote for
his nomination for that high Office.
A resolution was adopted stating the
Democratic party of Nebraska again de.
clares confidence in and admiration for
William Jennings Bryan. In him We
behold the ideal American citizen-the
ideal Democrat. We rejoice that the
principles which he has so ably advocated
have been gladly received and are now
generally accepted by the American
people. That the delegates by this con
ventiou chosen be and are hereby in
structed to vote as a unit for the nonlina
tion of Mr. Bryan for the Presidency.
Brief as this official Endorsement of Mr.
Bryan's candidacy is, it met the full ap
proval of the delegates. The ironclad
instructions TO the I6 ulen selected to the
Denver convention will, it was thought,
leave no doubt as to where Bryan's home
State stands.
The platform adopted shows the handi
work of Bryan and declares for
law to compel foreign corporations to
submit their disputes to the State courts
in which they do business; election of
United States Senators by direct vote;
enforcement of criminal law against
trusts; revision of the tariff; an incou e
tax; national inheritance tax; reclama
ton of arid lands; preservation of forests;
development of interior waterways; a
generous pension policy; declaration to
recognize Philippine independence; con-
troll Of railroads by Congress; postal saw
ings banks; state and national laws for
the better regulation.of banks; an eight
hour day; notifications in the law relat-
ing 10 injunctious; an employers liability
law; exclusion of Asiatics; separate State
hood for Arizona aud New Mexico

The Election Bill.

The Election bill designed to sim
plify the present ballot law throughout
the State, passed the House on Friday
without a dissenting vote, and has gone
to the Senate.
The chief change made by the bill in
the present law is that It provides that
whenever the intersection Of the cross-
mark is within the square the ballot shall
be counted, no matter whether the legs
extend beyond or not. Mr. Lehmayer
originally introduced this bill SO as to
have it apply only to Baltimore city, not
believing that the county people would
accept It as State Law. but the Election
Committee strongly favored making il,
apply 10 the entire State, which change
was made. The bill is expected to pass
the Senate without opposition, as both
democrats and republicans favor it. II
the bill becomes operative there will nm.
donbtedly be fewer rejected ballots at the
next election.

Baltimore Wants Larger Repre-
sentation.

Delegate Maloy has introduced his bill
proposing amendments to the Constitution
providing for an increase in the repre-
sentation in the Legislature OF Baltimore.
The bill makes no change at all in the
Legislative districts in the city, but pro-
vides for the elect on of seven members
of the House of Delegates from each
instead of six. The bill also provides for
the election of Que State Senator from
each district and tvs State Senators-at
large. This would make the representa-
ton of the city at Annapolis, altogether,
six State Senators and 2S members of the
House. These bills were referred to the
Committee on Amendments to the Con-
stitution and will uuquestionably be re-
ported favorably.

FRIDAY, MARCH ls, 1908.

The Benson Good Roads bill has been
pushed through the House under high
pressure, passing that body with rush
Friday, going through with but two dis
senting voices. The bill now goes 10 the
Senate and while its supporters in the
House are confident it will pass there also,
its opponents in the upper house declare
that if il does it will be in sch an amend
ed form that its friends will have difficulty
in recognizing it.
The objection to the bill is based on the
question of the commission. number
ofthe Senators believe the constructing
Of the roads should be placed in the hands
Of the State Geological Survey, which is
already equipped and prepared to do the
work, and that there is no necessity for a
newly.appointed, high salaried commits
sion for this purpose.
The Biddisou Road bill is favored III the
Senate, as ii provides for non salaried
commission, whose duties end with the
selection of the roads to beimproved, the
construction work being placed in the
hands Of the Highway Commission, made
operative through the provisions of the
Shoemaker Road bill, enacted at former
session Of the Legislature. This is the one
feature of the road bills that IS causing
such contention as is likely to prove the
stumbling block to the progress Of the
good road movement in the Legislature.

Bryan Committee OF one Hundred.

The Bryan Committee of One Hun
dred of Maryland declare that as far as
the State primary election to select dele
gates to The Democratic National Conven
lion is concerned. the cards are already
stacked against William Jennings Bryan.
Tie Committee has abundance of evi
dence to prove that this is the case, and
is urging the democratic members of the
Legislature TO pass fair primary law at
the present session, which will give to all
caudidates representation in the pri
naries, the law to apply to the entire
State.
The Committee has issued an open
letter to the Democrats Of Maryland In
part it says:
"Comparing his last campaign with the
one following it, We find that in 1900
Bryan polIed $500. 900 votes. In 1904
the Democratic leaders said they were
tired Of losing-they wanted someone
who could win. The plutocratic news
papers told them how to win. They said
nominate Parker and you will win.'
eve nominated Parker, and he polled
s.o7o. 600 votes, million aud quarter
less than Bryan. He carried IL States
and part Of the thirteenth, whereas Bryan
in 1900 carried II States The figures
speak They demonstrate that the Dem
ocratic party under Bryan's leadership is
rs per cent stronger than under the lead
ership offs any other Democrat.
I'm view of these facts We respectfully
urge cur fellow Democrats of Maryland
10 send delegates 10 the National Demo
cratic Convention who will be in sym
ra,hy with the great majority of the
delegates from other States, and will
come back with enthusiasm for the ticket
that will roll mp handsome majority in
MARYLAND for our next President, Hon

Concerning Women.

No wonder Maryland women are in
dignant over the proposal to allow man
whose wife owns $500 TO vote in virtue of
her money, while no woman, even though
she were millionaire, could vote in her
own right.

women were elected City Councillors in
Reykjavik, the capital. This is the first
time that women have figured as candi.
dates for such Office in that country.
