SAYS MARYLAND BY RIGHT is A
DEMOCRATIC STATE.

Baltimore. Sept. 14.-William ]. Bryan.
Democratic candidate for president. to-
day for a second time claimed the atten-
ton of the voters of Maryland. He spoke
twice. the first time at Annapolis. where
he discussed the issues of the campaign,
and tonight in this city in the Fifth Regi-
ment armory, before an audience which
Is conservatively estimated as exceeding

ovation seldom equaled I'm this city.
Bryan Gre atty Pleased.
When he stepped to the front of the
platform the crowd rose en- masse
cheered and waved flags. the band the
while playing Dixie" Upon order be-
evidence of his pleasure at the demon
stration, began his remarks. He de-
voted most of his time to a discussion
of the same issues that he has presented
there was nothing in the Democratic
platform that need alarm any legitimate
interest. Among other things he said:
Difference in Platforms.
THE Democratic platform differs from
the Republican platform in that our par
~ distinctly declares what IL opposes and
what IL favors. When you read the
Democratic platform you know exactly
what to expect. for the two candidates
only know what the platform includes,
but you know that IL excludes everything
else. The Republican platform is am
biguous and uncertain. When you get
through reading il you are In the dark
as TO what the president will do"
Position of Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft, he said, had already amended
hiss platform In several particulars. but
none know what other amendments he
might add before the election and what
additions he might make to 1t after the
election. When any one came to con-
strue the Republican platform, he said.
a guessing contest was entered into and
none could tell whose guess was nearest
the truth. President Roosevelt. he de-
clared. was elected upon a similar plat
form.
And. as his platform promised nothing
in particular. he felt at liberty to recon-
mend a number of things which the Re
publican leaders objected to-
The result was. he said. a constant con-
flict between the executive and con-
gress.
THE Republicans do not present spe-
cific propositions" he asserted. "A Re
publican victory could not be construed
as declaration in favor of any par
abuse"
Maryland Democrats.
He said that Maryland by right was a
Democratic state and that no Democrat
could find in the Denver platform an ex-
cuse for voting the Republican ticket
But" he said, Republicans who recog-
niZe the abuses that have grown up un-
der Republican rule can find a reason
fOr joining with the Democrats to re-
store the government to its own founda-
tons, for the Democratic sentiment I'm
the country is far larger than any party
and the Democratic sentiment demands
that the laws shall be made in the inter
ests of the whole people and that the
government shall be administered in such
a way that the rights of all shall be pro-
tected and that special privileges shall be
no longer granted to the few"

Portland, Me, Sept. H.-Although the
Republicans came off victorious in the
state election today. Bert NJ. Fernald of
Poland, being chosen governor over Obe-
diah Gardner of Rockland, the Democrats
had the satisfaction of seeing the normal
Republican plurality cut to less than 10000
votes for the first time in a presidential
year for more than quarter of d century.
All four Republican candidates for con-
gress were elected and for state auditor
Charles p. Hatch of Augusta. Republican.
defeated his opponent.
Plurality About 5000.
Returns for governor from AGO out of

ocrat, 6i,62S. Same places in 1904 gave
Cobb. Republican, 1868; Davis, Demo-
crat. 49.1H. Remaining places in 1904 gave
Cobb 2545. Davis 1.O05. This shows Re-
publican loss of 4 per cent and Demo-
cratic gain of 81 per cent. On this basis
the Republican plurality IL was estimated,
would be about 5000.
The result showed not only the warmth
of the contest but the popularity of Mr..
Gardner, whose fame as the head of the
state grange, Patrons of Industry, proved
a great vote gamer.
Republicans on Defensive.
The Republicans were on the defensive
throughout the campaign, seeking to hold
the state by the usual plurality by
swering the various Democratic argu-
ments, which were mainly for resubmis-
sion of the prohibitory law, taxation of
the wild lands and reform in administra-
tive methods. But little was said of ma
tional issues
The Republicans strongly defended the
so-called Sturgis law and urged the voters
to support its stringent methods in the
enforcement of the cause of prohibition.

Every state in the middle west has made
demands for Mr.. Taft. and the
leaders have not hesitated to use a pes
simistic note to bolster up their argument
that the Republican candidate is needed

man Hitchcock and Senator Dixon, direc-

Mr. Taft will speak in Cincinnati on

Chicago, Sept. 14.-One woman,

and 20 persons injured in wreck
at Chesterton, Ind, on the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroad
early today. Five of the injured, for
a time We're unconscious, but at

the injured We're brought, they re-
covered consciousness and it was
stated that all would recover. Prac-
ticaly all of the injured live in In

An official statement issued by the
Lake Shore railroad declared that
the accident was due to the engine
man on the suburban train disre-
garding the automatic block signal
This was probably largely due to the
mixture of fog and smoke from the
Northern forest fires Obscuring the
light. No one on the suburban train
was hurt.

DEADLY BOX IN MAIL
NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR MAR
ROWLY ESCAPES ASSASSI.

Bullets, Powder and Matches i'm the
Packagc-rostOiiicc Clerk
Thwarts Attempt.

Seagirt. \. ] Sept. 14.-An at
tempt to assassnate Governor Fort,
of New Jersey, has been thwarted by
the watchfulness of postoilice en-
ployes, who discovered in the mails
an Internal machine addressed to the
Governor. The package was clever
ly contrived combination of powder,
bullets and matches, which had been
so arranged that had the Governor
opened 1t in the ordinary way, there
is little doubt ii would have killed
him.
That the death-dealing package
was intercepted before it had reached
its destination was due to the vigil
lance of the postal officials, who have
scanned the Governor mail with
unusual care since the executive
recent crusade against violation of
the law at Atlantic City. The atti-
tude taken by the Governor when he
directed that the excise and other
similar laws at the great seaside re-
sort be strictly enforced, and even
threatened to order out the militia
if necessary, aroused resentment in
some quarters.

Police Confess Defeat.

Oakland, Sept, 1.-THE police
have finally admitted that they We're
unable to solve the mystery of the
murder of Mrs. Alice DOnOhue, on
June IL. in Eneryville.
Last week Captain Peterson was
given a letter written by Joseph
Berry, the womans former consort,
to Daniel Donohue, which reached
Oakland after the latter's sensational
suicide. 1t was taken from the post
office by Deputy Public Administra-
tor Flood. The letter is from Knob,
Shasta county, and bears date Of
September 4, and in it Berry asks
Donohue to tell everybody who the
murdered woman was and to make
public the fact that she was not his
wife, threatening, if he did not do
so, he would himself notify all the
lodges and newspapers. One quota
ton in particular from the letter is
considered pertinent. 1t is:

would happen long time ago, since
the last time l seen her, on the goth
day Of April, 1901, at Forty-sixth
street. Oakland.
This had reference to the murder
of the woman.
