Maryland and Organism.


The announcements of many Maryland
busines men who are democrats that they
intend to vote for Mr.. Taft because they
believe Mr.. Bryan a menace to the pros
perity of the country is really very much
more significant than the effusive declara-
lions of "Fingy" Connors of New York
and other OF his stripe that the peerless
leader is going to be elected this time.
Maryland is a democratic state under or
binary conditions, but its democracy is
of the pre-Bryan type. 1t is a business
community and it's industries are stead
lily expanding. Baltimore is a rapidly
growing commercial city and a distribut-
ing point for the great sections to the south
Of It. Its business men and bankers be-
fore all other things want stability Of
trade and commerce. In 1896, when Bryan
was preaching free silver, the business
men of Maryland, without regard to party
threw the weight of their influence
solidly against him. The state had a re-
publican governor, and this fact must be
borne in mind in commenting upon its
action. Nevertheless there was great sig
nificsnce in Mckinley carrying Maryland
by a plurality Of over thirty-two thou
sand. In 1900 Mr.. Bryan put an]ti-imperial-
ism ahead of free silver, but nevertheless
Maryland had not forgotten in four years
the financial heresy against which 1t
had protested, and though McKinley's plu-
rality in that state for reelection was much
smaller than that he received in 1896, 1t
was still notable, being nearly fourteen
thousand. The year before the state had
elected a democratic governor by over
twelve thousand and the contrast between
its action on local and national issues
indicate beyond a doubt that its public
opinion was directed against Bryan and
Organism. Four years later. when the
conservative Parker headed the democratic
national ticket, only one republican e~lector,
Mr.. Bonaparte, was chosen, and by the
narrow margin of fifty-one votes. The diff
ference between Maryland's course when
Bryan was a candidate and when another
was the democratic standard bearer IL
impressive.

speaker at democratic rally in the

was Mr.. watterson's first political
speech since 1892 and will probably
be his only platform utterance during

was manifested. Others who address
ed the assemblage were former United

Congressman Swager Sherley. Mr..
Watterson said in part:
'If were a republican / would vote

Stick go hang. If were a republi-
can would turn my back upon a can

draf under different conditions. It is
found that under very favorable con-

of inches made a draft load of $50
pounds. The same plow. with a clod
crusher attached, 954. The same plow,
with harrow attachment, $50. Under
unfavorable conditions of extremely
dry soil the oliver, cutting to a depth
of inches, being about one inch be-
low previous plowing. registered a
draft of 1880 pounds, while at a depth
of six inches, in the same soil, 1t tai
lied 1850 pounds. This wide difference
between the registered draft OF the
two plows represents almost wholly
difference of soil condition. In the

and interesting data is looked for.
