The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1908-10-16

lows Hall, Westminster, Maryland,
was Venice. How misleading the
statements of this individual.
Has Bob Garrett receipted bill ?
We understand he is paying his money
| this fall to one he has hired as his
attorney. We were under the impress
sion that this campaign would be hon
orably conducted. We apologize for
this mistaken apprehension. Garrett
must be desperate.
Why does not the paper across the
street get the news through its own
eyes, and not through those of one
who is paid attorney?
The Republicans had good meet
ing. Curiosity to see Mr.. Fairbanks
brought out many. The mention of
Mr.. Taft'S name however did not delay
Mr.. Fairbanks address.
By the way they had a choir to sing.
1t was pleasing to gaze upon the ladies
standing up on the stage, but the sing
ing lacked the heartiness of our Club
meetings, when all lifted their voice,
even though a little out of tune. 1t
has always been the principle of some
Republicans, following illustrious ex-
amples, to monopoliZe things.
Joseph d. Brooks was very active in
arranging and conducting the Repub-
lican mass meeting. His party is to
be congratulated in having him as
one of it's leaders. They are also for
tunate in having a candidate for Con-
gress who is able to pay him for his
service. Too bad he complained about
the length of the speech of the chair
man, who was not expected to con-
dense his remarks, but who by the way
made a most excellent address which
was gratifying to his many friends.
We thought this was a campaign
of fairness under the corrupt practice
act Can Garrett, who pirates of pur-
ity, expect to win by paying people to
sling mud?
What poor glasses the LOCKER on in
Venice" must wear. Possibly he could
not see the people who were there
working for the cause which is sacred
to them; but it could not be expected
of him. He saw only through the
collar of his boss.
The observations OF LOCKER on
in Venice" appearing in the Sentlnel
last week were very amusing. Won't
it's Junior Editor kindly give him les
son in grammer or correct his proofs
Possibly a physician might be of aid.
Our esteemed contemporary The
Sentinel" objects to our Club men
tioning the Lincoln Way We
thought every one who was sensible
desired it. Are we to understand that
because we are in favor of Mr.. Tai
bolt, who is the only man who can
aid it from this District, they will try
and send it by way of Frederick. II
the people who run that paper are so
partisan that in a spirit of envy they
would through spite try to injure
our town, in that manner, they had
better awake to the fact that the public
won't stand for it. We want the Way.
Attention was called to the fact that
when the banner of the B. K. & T..
Club floated to the breeze the first
thing to stop under it was four-horse
| wagon loaded with whisky barrels
driven by a Democrat. Like other
statements in it's political notes, 1t was
false as a whole and true in part, and
thereby deceiving. The first thing to
stop was a wagon, but only a two
horse wagon; true it was loaded with
barrels, possibly whiskey barrels, but
the man driving it was Republican,
and either had business with the paid
attorney or the Sentinel itself. Were
they ashamed of their associate? The
Democrats at least stand by their own,
and do not masquerade in false attire.
We did not have frost on last Fri
day night as we contemplated, but it
rained Fairbanks refrigerator
speech might have compelled it, if it
had not been for the warming up given
by Billy Baker.
By the way the Hon. William B.
Baker, for whom we have great re-
spect, ought not to deceive people by
saying that Mr.. Talbot charged him
with being a pauper. We give Mr.
Talbot credit for being too shrewd a
politician and having more sense, than
to say that man worth from two to
three hundred thousand dollars was
fit subject for the poor house. This
shows the straights to which they are
driven.
Let us remind the Sentinel that at
tempts have been made to improve
upon the Fables of Aesop for over two
thousand years, but all failed. But
perhaps the LOCKER on in Venice" OF
the "Keen-Eyed Observer" is the au-
thor of moving pictures If such
is the case we apologize.
We are sorry that the Club meetings
are so small and cause the unfavOrable
comments of the Keen Eyed Observ-
err" Yet we defy them and his mis-
representing kind, to get up a mass
meeting to surpass them. huff said.
Why do some people try to beiittle
others? Is it because they think by
so doing they can raise themselves
or is it that they are trying to swell
their insignificance into Importance
In all kindness we direct attention tt
the fate of the Frog who wished to be
as big as an OK before too late. The
Lord has set certain limitations upor
all created things.
Garrett shows his entire lack Of
qualification for the nigh office he
seeks by the method of conducting
his campaign. The slanderous ad
