Ard Can Again Bring Question Before
the PeopIe-Baltimore Gave $1,000
of the Majority Against Constitution
al Amendment.


BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4.-With
few county precincts yet to be heard
from. unofficial figures show that the
proposed amendment to the State Con-
stitution intended to disfranchise the
negroes is defeated by 1916, and that
Herring, Democrat, for State comptrol-
ler, defeated his Republican opponen.
by 1915. Urner, Republican candidate
for Judge. won in the Sixth Judicial
District.
In the city, Hugh Duffy, Republican,
defeated Lehmyer, the incumbent, for
judgeship, and the Republicans elect
| ed their candidates for sheriff, sur
veyor and for one of the court clerk
ships.
The legislature, on joint ballot, judg-
ing from incomplete returns, will stand
ninety Democrats and thirty-eight Re-
publicans. In both houses the Demo
Gratis will apparently have the power
again to bring the question of the dis
franchsement of the negroes before
the people at the next election.
Baltimore practically complete gave
majority of over 1000 against the
amendment Incomplete returns from
the counties indicate that the counties
will probably add to the majority
against it.

Statement BY Wickersham.
Bu Associated Press.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Nov. 4.-Judge
George E. Boren. who is Congressman
Brownlow's strongest political support
er, and who occupies a high position
under Attorney-General Wickersham
in the department of justice, has just
given out a most significant interview
here, which is taken to mean that the
Brownlow Republicans will make II
vigorous effort to harmonic the Re-
publican party in the state by allowing
the Evans faction to have the guber-
material candidate next year.
Il think that the Hon. A. A. Taylor
is a man on whom all Republicans can
unite as the candidate for governor
next year." said Judge Boren.
This is especially significant in view
of the fact that Mr.. Taylor, who is the
Republican brother of Senator Bob
Taylor, and who formerly served in
congress from the district, has beer
regarded as the strongest opponent tC
Brownlow in East Tennessee, and whit
has been directly aligned with thu
Evans faction. Mr.. Taylor is vel

ernor as the Republican nominee som
twelve years ago against his brother
Senator Robert L. Taylor.

Beverly, Mass, -aApg. 30.-The
resignation of ormsby McIiarg, as
sistant secretary of the department
of commerce and labor has been ac-

with Taft the question of McHarg's
successor. Nagel has received a let
ter from McHarg saying that he
would adhere TO his first intention
of remaining in the department only
six months. This term will expire
September 4.
Nobody here would say that Nc
Harg's resignation was the result of
McHargs interview wherein he said
that Roosevelt's policy of forest con-

be of practical value. McHarg was
further represented as having said
that perhaps Roosevelt thought him

with some degree of logic, we must
admit, were the purpose less justified

We have no fear that federal in

private business; for the very good
reason that we are all in business
and the government is but a reflec-

may dislike the image we sometimes
see in high places.
The trusts and the abuse of cor

natural and logical, of the decentral-
lied government and the competitive
system of doing business. The only
remedy lies in a centralized gov
eminent. Those, who cry out against
the outrages of the system, must
cease harping on state rights and
scattered authority. IL is among
those disintegrated elements of scat

pocToRING THE TRUSTS.

Those papers, who talked so Bit
terly about the inordinate greed of
the rich and the depredations of

though the national platforms of
both political parties favored the
federal income tax.
The CINCINNATI Enquirer, which
has long been Independent and any
thing but the organ of what the
French would call the proletariat,
sounds the slogan for them all. It
denounces the federal inspection of
corporation books as a fragrant gov
ernmental interference with private
business, and the income tax amend
ment toathe federal constitution as
violation OF personal liberty and
espionage of the Russian sort.
That is all right for the Enquirer.

rallied against the aggressions of the
rich or the abuses of corporate
powers.
But those papers. which have be-
come hysterical over such national

quirer's view OF the situation. They
cannot propose remedy for the
