 Maryland Negroes.
 The Maryland negroes have gcyi their orders pretty straight from eir political bosses. The big Rep can boss of the state is Congressr sid ney Mudd. He has. from t Sstories which reach this city, been z $ling the riot act to- the blacks. As tnere Is a strong national negro organization here lighting Roosevelt and Taft bitterly and advising their race to- either stay away from the polls or vote outright Tor Bryan. the literature that has been sent out is said to have influenced quite percentage of the Maryland negroes You get out and hustle.' Mudd has been telling the negroes. Vote the straight Republican ticket. and see that you study the tickets so that you can mark your ballots properly. If you do not give a good account of yourselves on election day there will be the devil to pay for you in the future. The Democrats are get ting ready to take the ballot from you as has been done in the states further South. and if you fall short this time,
 
 publicans will abandon you to your rate, and permit the Democrats to dis franchise you. And let me tell you also you need not be nosing around expecting to get money for your votes as you have done in the past, and as you think you will this time. because of the rumpus that has been kicked up over the Brownsville matter. You'll not get a decent. And you had bet ter understand that right now"
 This sort of talk Is said to have caused a commotion among the Mary land negroes. In Mudd's congressional district there Is very large negro vote He could not be elected if 1t were not cast pretty solidly for him. He drives the blacks as If he owned them. and they take his orders meekly, never daring to dispute his power. Mudd belongs to one of the best famf- lies of the state. The Mudd family used to own slaves. Even though he Is a rank Republican and has to de- pend upon the black vote he never al- lows negro to call upon political busi- ness at his house. You come to my office. or come to the capitol in Wash ington when you want to see me-" he tells them. "The house of a gentle man is no place for negro. and you shall not come into mine" Mudd surely makes them walk the chalk line and they seem to be all the more loyal to him for his pronounced way in handling them. True. he has gotten a lot of places for the negroes. but they are not allowed to get familiar with him.
