THE "SUN" REPUDIATED
DEMOCRATS DISGUSTED With ITS
WILL.0'.THE.WISP COURSE
Don't Need 1t, Don't Want II, and
Won't Have II

From the Annapolis Evening Capitol
Wanted-To know just how many
millions the Baltimore Sun got out of
this election. The Democrats paid
dearly for all the campaign literature
they put into its columns. One speech
alone of a Democratic leader, is said
to have cost $500 for it's publication.
Its publication in the Capital would
have done as much, aye, even more
good. Besides the thousands the Sun
got out of the Democrats, the Repub-
licans-but what's the use.
And the State gives it's patronage
to the Baltimore Sun. One official at
the State Department, it is said, gives
cut to the Republican luminary sever
al hundreds of dollars every month
of printing that might be done by
Democratic papers in Annapolis. And
this official holds an office under Dem
ocrats, too.

gradually ground into the blocks and

used. The footways are mostly of
large hagstones or OF concrete. These
are also in good condition.
Upon my return to Boston Mr.. Park
er and l went to Cape Cod. where we
inspected the building of new roads
that is going on there. 1 got a good
tip while there on the building of
roads in sandy places. There is much
sand in this place anG the roadbuiId
ers are not making stone roads in this
section, but are making excellent road
ways out of the sandy highways. Their
method will no doubt be applied on
the Eastern Shore as I intend to rec
ommend it. The sand is saturated
with refined tar and Texas oil. 1t is
then narrowed up and finally rolled
resulting in road which under proper
observation will last for some time and
be solid and good. One thing about it
is that it can be built much cheaper
than the stone road This will GER
tainly solve the Eastern Shore prob
lem. The tar can be gotten from the
Sparrows Point company or the Con-
solidated Gas Company.

JACKSON DOWN AND OUT.
Eastern Shore Politicians Say New
Law Did 1t.

Eastern Shore politicians express
the opinion the recent election has
put the Jacksons 'out of politics"
1t is said that Mr.. Covington's plu-
rality of $500 in the First district has
completely eliminated Uncle Bill''
Jackson from any possibility of run
ming again: 1t is also believed by
those in position to know that his
son, William p Jackson, whose ap-
pointment as national committeeman
for Maryland was political surprise,
has likewise been discouraged by the
big majority by which his father was
defeated.
Democrats say it is the Corrupt
Practices act and nothing else that has
put the Jacksons out of politics. The
law and the sentiment back of the
law, they say, is such as to make it
impossible for them to spend big
sum of money in any campaign in the
future, and without money, it is as
serted, the Republicans cannot carry
the Eastern Shore This, they say,
was demonstrated conclusively in the
last campaign.

Gettysburg, 6; Western Maryland, 0.

Western MARYLAND College sprang
a big surprise on the Gettysburg team
Saturday at Gettysburg, Pa, by out
playing them for most of the game.
Western Maryland gained three times
as many yards in rushing the ball as
did Gettysburg. The Maryland boys
were on the five-yard line early in the
first half only to lose their chance by
a forward pass falling to work. West
ern Maryland was near enough to try
for field goals three different times,
only to have them go wide.
The play was in Gettysburg's ter
ritory for most of the game. On a
tumble late in the second half Gettys-
burg secured the ball past the middle
of the field and were able to score.
The students had seen their team
completely outplayed and were saved
from being scored upon more by good
fortune rather than by stopping the
opponents.
The Gettysburg rooters are happy
and frankly admit that their team was
outplayed and very fortunate to win
by 6 to 0. Thomas kicking was a
feature. He also used good judgment
in selecting his plays. The sentiment
was that Western Maryland is the
best team that has appeared there this
year.

From Towson Democrat.

From TOWSOn Democrat.
The Baltimore Sun is absolutely
eliminated as political factor in this
State. The party can win without
that paper, and the quicker and more
pointedly this fact is served, the better
it will be for the Democratic party.
When all the conditions which sur
rounded us in our fight for supremacy
last Tuesday are considered, the Sun
with it's usual pecksnifian pretentions
will be all the more ready to declare
its devotion to Democratic principles.
Indeed it has already done so, and has
thereby manifested piece of political
pha riseeism unequaled in the history
of American journalism.
The Sun not only looked on with
unconcern while the Democratic party
was struggling in a contest with every
interest opposed to the good of the
people, but, with a perfidy not unusual
in the pervert, resorted to the vilest
Misrepresentation, and did everything
possible to becloud the real issue of
the campaign.
Fighting at great odds, the Demo-
cracy OF Maryland has won, and the
most significant fact about the VIC
tory is that the Sun is eliminated po-
