Chung Men Yew. who, according to
the Peking dispatch. is to succeed WI
Ting Fang as Chinese minister at
Washington, is widely known in the
United States where he has spent much
of his life, first as a student and later
in the diplomatic service at Washing
ton. Mr.. Chung was educated at Har-
ward University where he took an ac-
tive part in niverisity affairs, being a
member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity. Later he became interpre-
ter at the Chinese embassy at Wash
ington, his perfect command of Eng
lish making him exceptionally valuable
in that capacity. He served with a
number of Chinese ministers at Wash
ington. including Wu Ting Fang. and
was then sent as Chinese charge DAT
fcres to Madrid: He afterwards re-
turned to China, where he was given
important work in connection with
Chinese railway and telegraph develop
ment. Mr.. Chung is a widower with
one son who has received his education
in the United States.

is thought of his purposes, personally
re is regarded as most able diplomat.
The Dowager Empress received Tang
Shao VI in farewell audience last Mon
cay.
Tang Shao vi has been given plenary
powers with the rank of ambassador,
and this, together with the other hon
Ors conferred. indicates the Importance
attached by the Dowager Empress and
Grand Councillor Yuan Shat kai to his
mission. Tang Shao vi will study the
financial, industrial and political con-
ditions in the countries he visits, Civ
ing particular attention to international
relations and his reports will be used
to elaborate the reforms promised the
people OF China under the new conSti-
tuition. A sum equal to that set aside
for the entertainment of the American
fleet in Chinese waters has been gwen
Fang Shao vi to meet the expenses of
this mission.
There is reason to believe that after
Tang Srao Yi's return from this trip
he will be made minister Of finance of
the empire.
The mission will spend fortnight in
Shanghai and three weeks in Japan,
where Tang Shao vi will confer with
the Toxic authorities on Chino-Japan-
ese questions.
Japan would seem to be more or less
concerned with what Tang Shao Vi
may do and say on his trip around the
world; she does not view with cqua
nimity his carrying Chinese grievances
over the Manchurian situation to
America and elsewhere and it is de-
clared here that some of the other
powers look at this matter I'm the same
ligrt. 1t is felt by foreigners in Pekin
that Tang Shao vi is about to make an
effort to attempt to remove the OBJ
stacleS to Chinese freedom in Man
churia by securing American sympathy
and support through American invest
rnent and an American loan would not
be popular with some of the powers in
terested in Manchuria. The mission has
been characterized here in some quar-
ters as a political blunder. Tang Sliao
vi will leave Yokohama Nov. 4 on the
steamer Mongolia for San Francisco.
Upon arriving in Washington he will
be welcomed and entertained by WI

United States Senator John Walter
Smith expressed himself as gratitied at
the result of the election in Maryland
Il would have liked, - said Senator
Smith, to see Bryan elected President,
but am sincerely glad that Maryland
has not gone against him. We had in
this State an uphill fight from the start.
but the party in the counties was united
and the fight made here for the ticket
was splendid one
When Bryan was nominated early
in July the sentiment in the State was
strong against him and few persons
thought he had any chance at all In
the face Of the opposition to him and
under the conditions that existed in the
State, which has twice gone against
him by big majorities, think the
Democracy Of Maryland has achieved a
victory here of which it can well be
proud.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC.

The election of last week
has been decided in favor of
the. Democracy so far as Mary
land is concerned. Eight elec
tors were voted for. Six Demo
Gratis and two Republicans We're
elected. When we went To
press last week the question of
who had carried the state was
not settled, because it was ne
cessary to get official returns to
ascertain the victor.
The Democratic party of
Maryland made a great fight
and won it. The party was
and is united. Every Regular
Democrat and every so.called
Bryan Democrat did his duty.
There is no kick coming from
either against the work done
by the other.
In 1900 the Sun supported Mr..
Bryan and he was defeated by
nearly 1900. This year it used
every means in its power to de-
feat him without success.
We rejoice that MARYLAND
has given a majority of her
electoral votes to that party
which is best represented in the
South. We want to stand with
our Southern neighbors. Their
interests are our interests and
their policies are our policies.
We hope some day to see them
endorsed by the nation.

Acres OF Campaign Print.

The Government Printing Office was

dental campaign. This institution turn
ed out for the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties I. AIS. 700 copies of speeches

previous records by 1900, 900 copies.

or about Ia carloads. The printed
sheets would completely cover As square
acres of ground and if each page could
be laid end to end a bicycle track 947
miles long could be obtained
The number of words contained in
this years run of speeches has been
roughly estimated at 230 billion. With
the newspaper calculation of four read
ers to each copy, this would require
the assimilation Of nearly trillion
words.
The printing of speeches in the Gov
eminent Printing Office for members of
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives have been reduced to an exact
science through years of experience.
The printing is paid for by the member
of Congress drawing the requisition,
but the mailing is done by frank, at
public expense.

Wheat And Corn Show.

Ii is far more important for the farm
ers of the country to know. not in par
ticular who has the biggest ear Of corn,
or the tallest stalk. but what type of
corn will produce for him the most
profitable crop under conditions Of soil
and climate which it is to be grown.
The Maryland Cereal and Forage Crop
Breeders Association is endeavoring
to decide these points and solicits the
cooperation of every grain grower in
the State to exhibit samples of their
best produce at the Wheat and Corn
Show, which is to be held in Baltimore
at the Fifth Regiment Armory. Deem
Der list. I'd and Sd, 1905.
Realizing the vast difference in type
of soil within the State and the advan-
tages some counties have over others
of lighter soil, better adapted to truck
ing and fruits. the Association has
classified the State into County, District
and State contests. In county contests
will be entered all grains and seed
grown in the county from which it is
entered.
District contests will include all grain
and seed grown in o. the Northern
District comprising the counties Of
Cecil Hartford, Baltimore. Carroll.
Howard. Montgomery and Washington;
~ the Southern District; comprising
the counties of Anne Arundel. Prince
Georges, Charles, st. Mary's and Tai
bot: (3) the Eastern Shore District:
comprising the counties of Kent. Queen
Anne's, Talbot. Caroline. Somerset,
Dorchester. Wicomico and Worcester;
the Mountain District; comprising the
counties of Allegany and Garrett.
In the State contest will be entered
all grams and seed grown in the State.
Ample space will be provided for every
exhibit, and an attractive premium list
is being prepared, which will be publish
ed at an early date.
Let it be hoped sufficient local interest
will be displayed in the coming exhibit
ton, to have on the tables class
of grain from this county such as we
feel sure will score well with any other
in the State.

BRYAN WINS
IN MARYLAND
Six Democratic And Two Repub-
lican Electors Chosen-End
OF The Long Wait.

The result of the election in Maryland
for the Presidential ticket was not de-
finitely known until late Saturday. the
official count having been delayed in
several counties. The result shows that
Bryan carried the State. getting six of
the eight electors. The vote was close
on the electoral ticket. as the figures
below will show
Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1908-11-14

Inc reason why the electOrai vote IN
the State is split two going to Taft
and six to Bryan is because very
large number OF voters failed to prop
erly mark their ballots. In many cases
voters made their cross mark opposite
the names Of the top elector. under the
impression that they were voting for
the eight electors. Many others voted
for two, three or four electors and the
vote on the eight electors varies through
out every county and in every ward.
In every case the top elector runs ahead
and the other seven drop behind. Be-
tween the highest and lowest elector
on the Republican ticket there is DIFF
ference of 1924 and between the high
est and lowest Democrat it is 2, 327.
Maryland in 1899 went against Bryan
by 80. 600 in 1900 the State gave Roose-
welt 1000 and this year Bryan gets a
small majority 1t is certainly great
victory for the Democracy.
