appointed to this position and who is
said to be very capable woman, with
expressing wonder that tn people of
Richmond are adverse to going to the
hospital for treatment. thus assisting
in it's support. DR.. Wampler assures
the superintendent that the prejudice
against the hospital on the part of the
public is due to the mismanagement of
the institution.
Deserted in Fight.
AS has been stated, DR.. Wampler
donned the war bonnet and jumped the
hospital reservation over year
ago as a result of constant conflict be-
tween himself, the trustees. and the
former superintendent. He organized
a revolt against the self-perpetuating
board of trustees and. it is said, enlist
ed in his cause a large percentage of
the local physicians. DIR. Wampler
charges that when the time came for
the insurgents to hurl the gauntlet at
tire army suffered with evaporation of
courage and he was left alone to con-
tinue the fight against the enemy
To say that DR.. Wampler was discour-
aged by this desertion and gave up the
contest is but libeling his ability as a
fighter. Since raising the banner OF
revolt he has been in constant state
of insurrection. Last winter the board
eliminated him from the medical staff
of the hospital. At the meeting held
last Monday night by the board OF
trustees and the city council one of the
members of the former body stated
that DR. Wampler had been dropped
from the medical staff because mo one
could get along with him"

PROHIBITION IN
INDIANA is FEARED.
Brewers Think County Local
Option Will Finally Result in
Complete Downfall of the
Saloons.
BY Harper.

The Jung Brewing company, which
has an agency in this city, has written
circular letters to it's agents urging
them to assist in the effort to bring
about the election of Thomas Marshall
as governor of Indiana. The letter
tells the agents they are aware of the
fact Mr.. Watson's election will great
ly iniure the company's business and
for that reason the company is anx-
ious for every one of its agents to as
sist in the election of Marshall. But
this is not enough, the election of the
entire democratic state ticket is urg-
| ed.
The letters say in part:
| Republican succe SIS in Indiana will
ultimately lead to statewide prohibit
ton and county local option is the
first step toward the prohibitory goal.
The election of Mr. Marshall will give
us new lease of life and therefore
we urge you to use your influence to-
ward the success of the democratic
ticket and to help line up the other sa-
loon keepers in your part of the state.
Watson's election will so reduce our
business that you will lose your job
and therefore it behooves you to be
diligent for the success of the demo
cratic party

1t is interesting to note what Col.
Henry Watterson. editor Of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, now head of the
Bryan press committee. has said of his
present comrade in arms through his
own paper. In February 1908, Mr..
Watterson's columns said:
Now. for our part. we see in Mr..
Bryan an agreeable lay-preacher who
wants to be president. and has shown
himself willing to take any old thing
for paramount issue, promising to
join votes enough, all the way from
free silver to the governmental own
ership."

The fact Cardinal Gibbons, head OF

ton, is not being lost sight of by
many persons of that faith. Although
he does not believe prohibition is
practicable in the larger cities he has
declared himself heartily and absolu

other communities. He says, also, he
would have the county as unit in

OLD MARYLAND FEUD ENDS
Politicians Watch the Wellington

Many Explanations offered as Rea-

ment that ex-senator Wellington and
Congressman Pearre, of the Sixth dis
trict, have patched up their quarrel of
many years standing, and Mr.. Yelling
ton is going TO support Mr.. Pearre for
denomination in the Republican primaries.
ends an historic political feud,
Wellington and Pearre have been en-
cmies for many years As far back as
1892 they were the heads Of different fac
tions in the Republican party Ia Ale
gany County. fighting each other for
the nomination for Congress. Yelling
ton won out I'm 1882, after a hot fight.
Then he aspired 10 bigger things, and
finally went to the United States Sen
ate. leaving Pearre i'm command of the
situation in the Sixth dis
trict
When Wellington broke with McCemas,
Pearre sided with the latter. and the
estrangement between the two men grew
more intense. When Wellington made
his bitter attack on President Mckinley
at the time the latter was shot down at
Buffalo Il was Pearre who brought this
thing TO public notice and severely crit
icsed Wellington After that no one ever
imagined that the two could be brought
together.
Since leaving the United States Senate
Mr.. Wellington has taken no active part
in State politics but ON various occa-
sions he has interested himself IN behalf
OF some individual or individuals on the
city OF county ticket In the last Con-
gressiOn8l primary in the Republican
party when young LLOYD Lowndcs made
a hot fight against Pearrrc. he supported
the former, and il was expected that me
would be with Lowndes again I'm the
primary fight next fall. This alliance
would seem TO leave Mr.. LOWudeS I'm
class by himself. but he is something OF
a general, and will doubtless have an
army 10 rally around him when the
battle is pulled off.
Two explanations OF the treaty OF peace
between these very antagOnistic leaders
are offered by Republicans. one is that
Wellington fears the nomination Of y. H.
Warner, Of Montgomery County, for Con
gress. and he likes Warner less than he
does Pearre, and the other is that he feels
that in the last primaries young Lloyd
Lowndes tried to defeat Welington's man
for county treasurer. Under these cCn-
ditiOns there was nothing else 10 do but
make peace and an alliance with PeaTre,
Wellington, it is said, called on Pearre
and held out the olive branch.
The alliance is said 10 have been
brought about by Former Sheriff Otto

Of the county had all been pledged 20
the passage of a county local-option

hardship on property owners by causing
a depreciation IN the resort property. and
thought that they ought to be given an
extension of time before any dry pro-
visions for Ocean City went into effect

however, and it went to its third read
