Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, Md, November THE
canvass of Maryland's political vote at
Tuesdays election shows that the state
occupies unique position among the COM
monwealths that compose the Union. In
1904 Maryland introduced an innovation
by splitting it's electoral vote, and by the
official canvass completed last night it
is again in the split column.
According to these returns, Bryan gets
majority of the electoral votes. although
Mr. Taft actually carried the state on the
popular vote. The official vote shows that
Maryland will cast six of its eight votes in
the electoral college for William Jennings
Bryan of Nebraska, and the other two
votes will be cast for William H. Taft of
Ohio.
Taft Carries the State.
On the popular vote Taft has carried
the state by COS plurality. The actual
figures for the vote in the whole state,
taking the vote of the highest electOr on
each side as representing the real vote
for the respective presidential candidates,
was as follows: Taft, 1864; Bryan, 49,
900. Taft's plurality. 6O5.
The official canvass of Tuesdays vote
was not completed in either the city or
the county until late last night. The
canvass shows that Bryan carried the
state outside of the city, while in the city
Tafts plurality was slightly below the
figure given in The Star Wednesday.
This was due largely to the erroneous
unofficial returns and the manner in
which these returns were read out at
police headquarters on election night
The official figures for the vote on the
high elector on each ticket in the coun-
ties, with Baltimore city excluded, was
as follows:
Bryan. 66,769

Delaware Legislature Republican.
WILMINGTON, Del, November THE
next Delaware legislature will be republi-
can in both branches. Word has been
received from Georgetown that the official
count of the Sussex county vote showed
that the republicans elected six of the ten
representatives from that county, instead
OF five. This gives the house to the re-
publicans by a majority of one. The
house will contain eighteen republicans
and seventeen democrats, and the senate
eleven republicans and six democrats.

HARMONY FOR REPUBLICANS.

Certain self-stylcd independent
voters go at their malicious criticism
and selfish campaign of making the
tail wag the dog without any appar-
cnt thought that the independent
voting business can work both ways.
At the present time, following n
custom of years, an ancient gang are
doing their utmost to create dissen-
sion within the Republican party. All
the while they are talking of "har-
mony."
Their demands are not backed by n
sincere desire to assist the party or
promote the cause of good govern
ment.
These people, confessed minority.
have made up their minds as to what
THEY want Whcreupon they go to
the party workers and proceed to
hold them up with the threat: II

do our utmost to wreck the party.

Use to use the knife with equal force

Suppose everyone follows the eX-
ample of the SUPERIOR people and
turns independent? What beauti-

pose would be served?
Yet this is the logical conclusion
of the campaign of the hold-up crowd

disorganiZation in which the worst
elements of all parties will be the
winners.
The fact that American history has
demonstrated the ability of a few
men to slaughter an able man pre-
scented to the people for public Office
does not in any degree prove that the
knirc-wieldcrs are public benefactors.
In the promotion of harmony
among members of the Republican
party this year 1t is well for the man
ayers to realize that they must reck-
on with the majority ms well as the
sour-ball minority.
If good men are to he forced OF

may be discovered that the devil will
be fought with his own weapons.
There has yet to appear any good
reason why an aggregation that is
proud of and responsible for the in
competence of an Iauliea in the Office
of Sheriff should be considered a
competent authority to stalk into the
Republican convention and tell the
Delegates what to do.
If that represents Republican
harmony" and political common
sense, and civic decency, the sooner
tie rank and file learn wisdom the
better.
Is the Republican convention and
the Republican campaign to be run
by the supporters of the Isoi-note
business?
We believe not. At all events. II
is better that such should not be the
result.

tunities and market are not lacking,
mands for some of the most easily
produced necessities of life. The to-
tai under the head of vegetables,
which includes beans, onions, pota-
toes, canned vegetables including
pickles and sauces amounts to
$222,O12.
Our whiskey bill has apparently
decreased, which should make the an
ti-saloonists happy. This year our
purchases in the mainland markets
were s512,727. against s55S,009. in
1907 and s5iO,109. in 1906. The
cigar and tobacco bill is also re-
duced.
Another point Of general interest
Is the amount of our purchases from
Japan, which has increased to nearly
two millions a year. In 1908 Hawaii
imported merchandise from Japan
valued at $1,S74,67O. and for 1907
1t was s1,557,441. Our total foreign
imports for 1908 were valued at s4,-
6S2.399.
In going over the statistical rec
ord, the citizen Of Hawaii has one
ever-present complaint which should
be put in the form of a request to the
department. The statistical bureau
refers constantly to the shipments
from Hawaii to the United States. ="
We know what is meant. but GER
tainly Hawaii is a part of the United
States and the phrase, while no par

alive that old idea which prevails
among the ignorant, that Hawaii is a
possession" Why not put II ia

would do no harm and might assist
In correcting very common error.

These totals taken from the sta
tistical report of the Department of
Commerce and Labor for the end OF
the fiscal year speak for themselves
as demonstration of the develop
ment of these Islands. If the figures
for the amounts and values of mer-
chandise that Hawaii purchases from
the mainland were absolutely exact,
we believe that the record of our
shipments from the mainland would
go above fifteen millions.
Our shipments out of the Islands
are made up of two principal prod
ucts, pineapples, and sugar. The
values are easily estimated and ac-
curately stated. On the other hand,
shipments from the mainland include
everything from Il toothpick to n rail-
road engine, and there is consequent
ly greater probability of Hawaii not
securing credit for all that 1t buys in
the mainland markets.
Under any circumstances, however,
the totals make splendid showing
that should be highly gratifying to
the citizens of Hawaii and the main
land.
Better freight service enters into
the relatively large surplus in Ha-
wallis favor, when compared with
former years, Sugar shipments are
the largest item, and while our SUI
CARS have been sold at a much higher
price than usual and the crop is the
largest on record the shipments have
also gone forward much more speed
lily than in any former years. Hawaii
had larger proportion of its crop in
the market on June of this year than
in any period of its history.
The hope that the pineapple ship
ments would reach million dollars
in the fiscal year of 1907-OS has. not
been realized, but the increase has
been hundred per cent. over last
year, when the total under the head
ing of Fruits and Nuts was $685.

The Maine situation was nightly
mixed, The Democratic Governor. a
farmer, was before the people on a
platform to resubmit the Prohibition
amendment to the people. Yet one
of the features of the campaign was
an open letter from lifelong Pro-
hibition-supporting Republican. in
which he announced his intention to
vote for the Democratic Governor.
He knew the Democratic candidate
to be temperate man and he knew
the Republican candidate was not.
The latter had also been instrument
al in making public life unpleasant
for Congressman Littleneld, one of
the staunchest of temperance work
ers. Here was an instance of the in
