SIX FOR BRYAN
TWO FOR TAFT
MaryIand's Electoral Vote Was
Cast AT Annapolis Monday.
One Republican Absent.

Maryland's electoral vote was cast
at Annapolis Monday. Mr.. Bryan got
six and Mr.. Taft two, according to the
previously known results. However,
if Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska had needed
only one electoral vote to make him
President of the United States, Mary
land could and very probably would
have given it to him.
Albert A. Towers, of Caroline County,
one of the two Republican members OF
the college, did not appear. In his stead
came his brother, Lawrence B. Towers,
who presenteda letter and physician
certificate saying that his brother was
confined to his bed. The sick elector
asked that his brother be made his
proxy.
This was done. 1t was remarked,
however, that the college was not bound
and had that vote been needed coulc
have named some one else who might
have cast his ballot for Mr.. Bryan.
With this matter settled there came
another vexing one. Harry J. Hopkins.
chief clerk in the Comptroller's Office,
conveyed the startling information that
there was no appropriation to pay the
members of the college. The $500. 90
usually appropriated was thoughfiessly
overlooked by the last General AS
sembly.
The Comptroller finally fixed this up
by procuring check for the necessary
amount from his contingent fund.
The meeting organized by electing
James w. Denny, (Democrat) presi-
dent, and James w. Owens, secretary.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Lin
thicum, Robinson and Williams waited
on Governor Crothers and informed him
that the college was in session, ac-
companied by Secretary of State N.
Winslow Williams, bearing the proper
credentials from the Governors office.
By a curious coincidence the votes for
both President and Vice. President were
drawn from the ballot box in the same
sequence-four straight for the Demo-
cratic candidates, then the two Repub-
lican votes. followed by the last two
ballots for the Democrats.

Visiting Nurse For Snow Hill

A. the close of the public meetings
held in connection with the tuberculosis
exhibit at the Court House last week,
it was voted to take steps to secure
visiting nurse for Snow Hill and vicinity.
Other communities in Maryland have
recently employed visiting nurse to
combat the Great White Plague. She
does not sit by the bedside hour after
hour, nursing the sufferer back to
health. But she does something far
more important she teaches the con-
sumptive and his family what to do in
order not to pass on the disease to
others who are now healthy. Proven
ton is better than cure, and much
cheaper, though it does not lessen the
possibility of cure. where that chance
exists.
OF course in many cases the doctor
can give the instruction necessary, and
his directions will be followed. In
others. however, the directions are not
obeyed and the doctor has not always
the time to see that they are carried
out. Here is where the nurse comes in
with her work. There are many cases
among people too poor to call a ply
slcian, except in most urgent necessity.
Such people are of the very greatest
danger to the community, and, there
fore, are most in need of that which,
at the present time, they cannot have.
If the community is to be protected,
such cases. must be sought out and
cared for. 1t is the business of the
visiting nurse to find those cases which
have not been brought to the doctors
attention. The nurses of Baltimore
last year found and registered with the
State Board of Health over one thous-
and consumptives, who would not have
been discovered otherwise.
We are coming to realize more than
ever before that contagious disease
at large in the community (or not prop
erly cared for. which amounts to the
same thing) is intolerable. Self-pro-
lection demands that every consumptive
shall be looked after in such a way as
not to endanger the lives of others.
That there is need for action along this
line in our own community is proven
by the fact that from one-eighth to one
fifth of the deaths in Worcester
County are caused by consumption alone.
At present. the visiting nurse SENS to
offer the best solution of this very ur-
gent problem.
Rev. C. w. Prettyman is chairman of
the committee. which has charge of the
raising of the necessary funds for one
month, and the arrangement of other
details.
