 The stewardess spoke with profes sional encouragement. "Oh, you're all right" she demonstrated. Heres the gentleman now, he'll help you"
 Some one lifted her, and in mo ment she was on deck and in her chair.
 Perhaps you would like yesterdays paper?" said a voice.
 The man in the next chair leaned toward her. holding a paper in his hand.

 She followed his gaze and colored faintly. Then he pointed to a similar label upon his own chair, hearing in a rough scrawl the name "L. Smith"

 The smile passed from her lips.

 She met his bitter gaze with one of level calm. And yet men have suf- fered death for it.

GARRETT HAS A
HOT CAMPAIGN.
Republicans and Democrats Very Busy
Much Bitterness Aroused By
HamiIl lnsurgent Ticket.
One Nan Named on Executive Com
mittee Sent in Singing Rebuke
A Glance at the Leaders Record in
Garrett COunty's Politics.

The following special telegram from
Oakland appeared in the Baltimore
American this morning
Since the Democrats and the Repub-
licans opened the campaign in this
county by holding large mass meetings
in the Oakland Opera House, politics
have taken on new life. Of the two
vacancies on the regular. Democratic
ticket in this county, caused by candi-
dates declining to accept the nominal
tons. one for Clerk to the County Com
missioners, and the other a County
Commissioner, the latter has been filled
by the committee naming Mr. Daniel
Yommer, of Grantsville district. MIR
4ommer is an extensive land owner,
farmer and lumber manufacturer, and
is extremely popular The other va
cancy may be filled this week.
Since the nomination of the so-called
Peoples ticket, but locally known as
the Hamill insurgent ticket, much bit
terness is expressed by many who
formerly sympathized with the move
ment. One of its strongest advocates
from the beginning, who wanted a
place on the ticket, has published let
ter over his signature denouncing the en-
tire proceeding as conspiracy planned
in the office of certain corporation at
torney, who wrote the platform, and Sc
lected the names of a few of his special
friends, one relative, to make up the
ticket.

Office nine times and defeated eight
times. At the first election he was
can iidate on the Peoples ticket, receiv-
ing but 40 votes, and on all other occa-
sions he was the nominee of the regular
Democratic party. He has also been
the Democratic nominee for municipal
offices in Oakland, but in every instance
was defeated. They further state they
have conferred upon him political honors
on numerous occasions, sending him last
year as DELEGATE from Maryland to the
Democratic National Convention to help
nominate a candidate for President.
He is looked upon here as Judge
Boyd's political agent for Garrett coun-
ty. 1t is believed by the regulars that
this will lose Judge BOYD many votes in
this county.

PARSONS CONDEMN THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
Un-AmeriCan. UndemoCratiC. UnWise
and Unjust, Say Methodsts.

THE proposed suffrage amendment
is not only un-American and undemo-
Garlic but it is also unwise and unjust. p"
This is the opinion of the Methodist
Episcopal ministers of Baltimore city
and vicinity on the proposed Straus suf-
frage amendment to be voted upon in
November, and resolutions cond mining
the amendment were adopted last Mon
day afternoon by the Baltimore Preach
ers' Meeting, the official body of preach
ers of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The meeting was spirited one and
was carried on nearly two hours after
the regular hour of adjournment. There
were about Is ministers present, and
each of them was loud in condemning
the proposed amendment
The resolution adopted at the meeting
follows:
while we do not presume to dictate
to our voting constituency concerning
questions purely political nevertheless,
upon grave moral issues, we feel it our
duty to press our convictions. In our
judgment the proposed amendment to
be submitted to the voters of MARYLAND
in November is largely moral question
and is not only un American and undem-
ocratic but is also unwise and unjust.
Therefore, we, as citizens and men,
bers of the Baltimore Preachers Meet
ing of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
hereby express our most earnest oppo-
sition to the proposed measure and the
hope that it will be overwhelmingly re-
iected BY the people"

Not Caught Mapping.

Before commencing his address at the
meeting held at the school house at
Crellin last week, Mr.. j. Griffin Hall,
of Baltimore, delivered brief address
to the girls and boys present. taking
for his subject the beautiful and appro-
pirate extract from the THE Psalm of
Life
Lives of great men oft remind us
We can make our own sublime,
And, departing, leave behind US
Footprints on the sands of time. "
After quoting the above he asked
where did | get that from? who is the
author" 'Longfellow, quickly re-
piled one of the youthful audience.
amid laughter and applause, in which
Mr.. Hall heartily joined. The address,
while containing much excellent advice,
also had enough dash of humor in it to
keep all in a good humor. He told the
boys that possibly he was speaking to
future president of the United States,
and turning to the girls, he said: Il am
afraid that woman's suffrage will not
make sufficient advancement in the near
future to make it possible for any Of
you young ladies to attain that high po-
sition, but you need not despair, for we
are told that The hand that rocks the
cradle sways the world. Some of you
may become the wife of a President. "

hundreds of Garrett countv's best citi-

hundreds of Garrett county's best citi-
zens.
We will point out few of the many
many cases in which the Amendment
would disfranchlse desirable citizens
For the first illustration let US consider
the case of the young man who has
served all his early years on the home
farm. He reaches the voting age of
81 years and is facing life for himself
with clean character and habits of in
dustry, he applies for registration and
cannot comply with the educational test
and he has had no opportunity to ac-
cummulate $500 worth of property,
hence he is denied the right to vote
There is also the case of worthy young
man of Garrett county who attains his
majority this year, and as a reward for
his faithful service at home his father
presents him with farm worth $4,000.
He cannot stand the educational test
and because he has not owned the farm
in question for two years ne is disfran-
chised.
1t is estimated that in 1908 more than
5000 German and other foreign citizens
settled in Maryland. Were the Amend
ment to become a law on November
End and thes foreign citizens be-
came naturalized they could not register
and vote, because it is not probable
that they would have been the owners
of the required amount of property for
two years proceeding their naturaliza-
ton and it would be impossible for them
to have acquired sufficient English edu-
cation to stand the required test.
The above examples are but parallels
of many cases that actually exist in
Garrett county, and MANY others could
be cited, but this is sufficient to prove
that the statements that the white
voters are not affected by the Amend
ment are false and to be dstrusted, and
every honest fair-minded man will with
hold his support from this proposition
and let well enough alone, until an
honorable proposition is submitted that
will really and truly reform MARYLAND
politics. j. B. Z.

A STInGING REBUKE.

The tic ct has been placed upon the
official ballot by petition, but many who
signed the petition have already stated
that they will not support the ticket.
The executive committee to have charge
Of the campaign has been appointed, not
elected. The chairman is Mr. Tott Mat
thews, an lnsurgent Democrat and a
law partner of the son of Mr.. G. S.
Hamlll, the insurgent leader Of the
Peoples party. In naming the eXecu-
tive committee 1t seems they "reckoned
without their host, as Mr.. Edward
Margroff, one of the members named
and prominent Republican in the
northern end Of the county, wrote a
singing letter to the county papers, IN
part as follows:
q look upon the Peoples
party as an instrument to further the
private and political spite of certain
prominent Democrat and certain cor
porations represented by him, and to
use the Peoples party to advance the
cause of certain candidate on the
Democratic ticket, and do not propose
to allow my name to be used for any
such purpose. -
Mr.. c. A. Deftinbaugh, President of
the Garrett County School Board, and
editor of the Mountain Democrat here,
has been appointed a member of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
in place of Mr. G. s. Hamill, Jr., re-
signed. This gives the regulars all

mr.. HAAILL'S RECORD.

The article which appear in Balti-
more paper some days ago, signed by
Mr. G. S. Hamill. has caused him to be
criticised more severely by the regular
Democrats than anything he has said
or done heretofore. They not only ac-
cuse him of nominating the Democratic
insurgent ticket, called the Peoples
ticket, and thereby disrupting their
party, but they take exceptions to a
number of statements made in his letter,
especially that part wherein he states
that cit is true that on two or three oc-
casions the party leaders requested the
writer to stand as a candidate again. :"
They say that he has been the absolute
boss and dictator of the Democratic
party in Garrett county for nearly forty
years, and as proof of his many times
candidacy they furnish the following
records:
He was candidate at the first cleo
ton held in Garrett County on January
Z, 1873. At the next election, in Novem-
Der, 1873, he was a candidate for States
Attorney and received 476 votes. His
opponent on this occasion was not a
lawyer by profession, but in the face of
that was elected, and after his election
the court was obliged to appoint another
member of the bar to prosecute criminal
cases. At the next election, in 1879, he
was again candidate, and also a candi-
date in each of the following years 1891,
1895, 1899, 1900, 1903 and 1907.
