Crothers To stump For Bryan.

Governor Austin +. Crothers has am
nounced that he will go on stump for
Bryan, as well as vote for him. The Gov
ernor in an interview said:
II feel that it is the duty of all Demo-
Gratis to support Bryan. and see no valid
reason why they should oppose him. In
the first place. the Democratic platform
ON which Bryan will run is emphatic as
to campaign contributions and their
source, while the Republican platform is
evasive. When President Roosevelt was a
candidate for the office he now fills Judge
Parker, his opponent, made the charge
that corporations were subscribing large
amounts of money to the Republican cam
paign fund. This Mr.. Roosevelt denied.
and yet when Governor Hughes, of New
York, prior to his election to that Office
conducted the Investigation into the in
surance scandals in New York city it was
thoroughly established that corporations
had subscribed, and in large sums.
"The Democratic platform stands for
honest elections. Think of what the Re-
publicans have countenanced aud ask
yourself if they do. The people of Mary
land have just seen passed by the Legis-
fature one of the best corrupt practices
acts in the country. This State stands for
honest elections and, if the people
of Maryland want national legislation
upon the same subject, they must look to
Mr.. Bryan and Democratic Congress
The treatment of the tariff question in
the platform shows the genuine Demo-
cratic doctrine. The tariff as it is now is,
after all, the root of the trust question
The Republicans wish no change.
I'VE have had panic during Repub
lican administration thing they shout
ed for years would never take place. We
have thousands of men out of work, con-
fidence shattered and industries paralyzed
because of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Now, do the people want four more
years of Roosevelt, in which he will con.
tinue, by the Taft proxy, to enlarge the
powers of that Office, keep the country in
a constant state of turmoil and lead to far
worse conditions than we have now? +
hardly think so.
II think the party will stand together
for Bryan. especially in Maryland, as all
Democrats should and believe the State
will be carried for him. The full dinner
pail argument is dead for the Repub-
licanans. you know, and think the peo-
pie of Maryland are sensible enough to
see that it is the Republicans who have
emptied that pail"

The city of Philadelphia inaugurated

magnificent new $2o. ooo, 900 subway and
elevated road was opened to The public

Now comes the report that the repub-

by offering work in protected factories

that the job will continue after the
election, the bride is very small one in

DISCUSSING PHILANTHROPY.

The HeideIberger Tageblatt in an ac-
count of the interview between the
Grand Duchess Louise and Nathan
Straus says. The grand duchess had
long known of the work OF the American
philanthropist and had followed il with
great interest. How deep this interest
IS may be judged from the fact that she
spent one and One-Quarter hours with
Mr.. Straus discussing pasteurizatlon and
its results. The conversation was carried
on in English. The grandduchess eX-
pressed her sorrow because of the great
mortality among children and said II
was necessary to combat the condluon
with all available measures. Aided by
the wife Of Minister Hanseu and the
privy medical counselor, DIT. Hauser
she IS employing the best scientlnc
methods and seeking new ones TO check
the mortality. especially among infants.
The milk plant which Mr., Straus pre-
scented TO thecity OF Karlsruhe is under
her personal protection because she
hopes 10 see good results from the in
production OF the Straus system Mr.
Straus was deeply impressed by the love
and sOlicitude of the noble lady for her
Deople. and said that he could well IN
