to the elevation of the late Senator
McComas to a Federal judgeship.
For instance, here are some of the
present antagonisms existing among
the Republicans leaders in the State:
Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Mudd are open
enemies and make no secret of the
feelings they entertain toward each
other.
.'Mr. Parran, head of the State Com
mittee, and Mr.. Stone, the head of the
local organization, do not even COM
municate by wireless. ~
Diplomatic relations, for the first
time in many years, are completely

Factory for Westminster.

Members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association of West
minister are hard at work endeavoring
to secure the location of a factory
in this city. This fsctory is now op-
Grating in Baltimore, and employs
from Is to $50 hands. This would
mean an addition fo several hundred
to the population of our city, and the
weekly payroll would mean increased
business for our merchants.
1t is planned to occupy the shirt
factory building, owned by the M. &
Nj. Association, but an additional
building, 4Ox8O feet Will be required.
the cost of which will be between
$4,000 and $4,000. Most of this
amount has, already been subscribed. l.
"A special meeting of the Associa-
ton will be. held Monday night, when
a representative of the factory will be
present. Full particulars will be
given when the negotiations have been
completed.

MARYLAND FARMS IN DEMAND
Mild Climate and Good Roads Ar
Attractive.

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Board of Commissioners of the
State Bureau of immigration, held at
the office, II East Lexington street, 1t
was decided = to issue every three
months printed list of the many per-
sons seeking farm lands In Maryland.
This list will be furnished to each real
estate firm, as well as every applicant.
In his report Superintendent Hines
said:
During the first quarter of our ad-
ministration the work of the State
Bureau of immigration has been more
strenuous than any time since its ex-
istence. According to the report of
the secretary, large number of pros
pective settlers have visited the State
of Maryland and also few foreign
ers have invested in farms. 1t seems
as if Maryland is preferred on ac-
count of the good climatic and social
conditions. One of the visitors told
us that the movement for good roads
in the agricultural sections attracted
the attention of many farmers in the
West
During the last three months we
mailed 300 English, 164 German, 26
Hollandish, 8 Russian and number
of Danish pamphlets, farm lists and
other printed matter, including maps
of Maryland, to applicants. In the
same time 1,207 letters were received
and prompt answers were mailed. This
Office has been visited by at least 25
people every day. The secretary was
compelled to escort number of pros
pective settlers to different sections
of the state and show them the farms
they wished to see.
The farm-labor problem has been
solved by this bureau during our ad-
ministration. We have more people
at our disposal than we could place.
The immigration into the port of
Baltimore during this summer has
been very slack. Only 10 steamers
arrived in three months, bringing
about 5000 people, from which number
about 500 were Americans returning
from abroad and from the rest about
100 remained in Baltimore.
A burning question in Maryland is
the demand for female help. We have
requests daily over the telephone and
by letters for domestics of all kind,
but none can be furnished. 1t would
be a serious business for this Office to
attempt to import such.

State and National Contests.

Several dispatches from towns in
Ohio to Boston banking house eX-
press confidence that Taft will carry
his own State, but that Judge Har-
mon, Democratic candidate, is likely
to be elected Governor. This indicates
state of mind that must cause good
deal of anxiety to the managers of the
Taft campaign. Ohio is Republican
State. If political conditions are such
that the Democratic candidate for
Governor is likely to be chosen there
will be no great majority for the Re
publican national ticket. Compare
lively few voters split tickets, and if
a great many are anxious to elect Har-
mon they will be lukewarm toward
Taft and vote the straight Democratic
ticket
|. But Ohio is not the only State in
which this situation exists. A dis
patch from East st. Louis ILL.,, to the
same Boston banking house says: "We
have a very hot contest between Gov
ernor Dineen and Ex-Governor Yates
for the Governorship, and a great many
Republicans may be driven to vote the
Democratic ticket for Governor, but
there is no reason to believe that the
vote for Taft will Ios be very nearly
as large as it was for Roosevelt in
1904" There is no expectation here
that Taft will get as good vote as
Roosevelt did, and it is admitted that
great many Republicans will vote the
Democratic State ticket. If they do,
plenty of them will vote the Demo-
cratic national ticket.
In this same lot of dispatches there
is one from Wisconsin to the effect
that La Toilette is expected to order
his followers to knife Taft. Another
dispatch from the same State records
common feeling that ""the followers
of La Toilette will not rally to Mr..
Taft with any degree of enthusiasm. :
The New York Suns correspondent,
travelling through the West, thinks
that Bryan is not very popular in In
diana, but that the Democratic State
ticket is pretty certain to win, and
many voters will vote the Democratic
ticket because they will take no
chances on the State ticket. There
is striking concurrence of testimony
regarding the alliance of the local in
terests with the, Democracy.-Phila.

REPUBLICANS DIVIDED.
Maryland Leaders Bitter Toward

A staff writer of the Baltimore Sun
contributes a very interesting article
upon the Republican situation in this
State, from which we take the fol-
lowing extract
Publicly Mr.. Parran, Mr.. Stone,
Mr.. Mudd, Mr. Watcher and the rest
will say that the Republicans are to
gether and expect to elect six Con-
gressmen from Maryland. Privately
they expect nothing of the kind, and
the truth is the party came back from
Chicago and goes into the coming
campaign worse split up and with
more bitterness than in many years
past. 1t is even more intense than
the Mudd- McComas feud that ragged

Switzerland has cheap labor, and it
is highly skilled in making watches,
but it cannot compete with American
machinery. Swiss exports OF watches,
especially to the United States, have
fallen off so heavily that there Is
crisis in the industry. Yet the Re-
publican platform wants a duty on
watches to offset the higher cost OF
making them in this country. We are
exporting about million and half
dollars worth of watches annually
to countries where wages are lower
than here.
