AS to the issues, Mr.. Supplee has said III
endorse the Republican platform as adopted at
the party's State convention; and especially
will strive to secure for Maryland decent, fair
and uniform system of election laws and fran
chise qualifications. ask election that may
help to settle permanently these questions, so
that Maryland may take her place among the
leading States in the consideration of progressive
modern public measures. I endorse the ef-
forts of Baltimore county Republicans to
secure good roads as expressed in their plat
form. and. if elected. will endeavor to have
enacted legislation necessary for the same.
Believing that the question OF granting to
the people the right to decide for themselves
whether they shall have saloons or not is one
of public importance, and that the people are
entitled to know a candidates position upon
it, will say that am in favor of granting
that right to the people, SO that the decision
may rest where it always belongs-with the

NO MANN REPUBLICANS y

Editor Union NesCs We are informed through
q recent edition of the Baltimore Sun that the
Republicans of the Twelfth district of Balti-
more county are dissatisfied, and are about to
organize "The Henry P. Mann Republican
Clubn
We, the Republican and independent voters Of
this district, denounce this assertion as mali
cious falsehood. and on the contrary, heartily
endorse the action of the Republican Conven-
tion at Towson, and tender our congratulations
to that body for its wisdom in forming ticket
which stands for Good Government and Prog
ress. and Furthermore, we assert that no voter
in the county who desires these qualities in the
administration of the affairs of our beloved COM
monweath can afford to support the Democratic
party. which has always meant bad government
and resultant backward move.
Let us then, as members of this great common
wealth, arise to the occasion on November2, and
with concerted effort, overthrow the despotic
rule which has so blighted our commonwealth.

Mr.. J. Frank Supplee, Jr., candidate on the
Republican ticket in Baltimore county for the
Legislature, is resident of West Forest Park
and is lawyer by profession Mr.. Supplee
received part of his education in the public
schools of Baltimore, completing part of the
course at the Baltimore City College. He was
graduated from Princeton University in 1898.
and studying law at the University OF Mary
land, he was graduated from that institution
in 1900 and was then admitted to the bar.
Since that time he has practiced his profession
and has had offices in connection with Mr.
John C. Rose, the present United States Dis
trict Attorney for Maryland.
Mr.. Supplee is son of Col. j. Frank Sup
plee, one of the representative citizens of
Baltimore, who was City Register from 1898 to
1900, and member of the Second Branch City
Council from 1883 to 1892 He has always

From the table above, it will be seen that
the average increase in the tax budget, or the
amount collected from the taxpayers, for the
last two years has been IL per cent. For the
present year the budget is estimated at $3.50,
$4,000, and at the same rate of increase next
year it will be 1897 ,284 90, OF practically one
million dollars. 1t is true. the population and
wealth of the county are both increasing, but
they were also increasing, and doubtless at
about the same rate, from 1900 to 1906, yet in
that time the increase in the amount raised for
county purposes was only S1,427 1t may be
said that this has become a million-dollar
county, and that amount is not too much for
our yearly running expenses, but we doubt
very much if a majority of the taxpayers think
so. 1t will also be hard to convince the tax
payers that they have received benefits and
improvements anything like commensurate
with this great increase in the amount raised
by taxation.
1t is proper for the taxpayers to consider that
the same County Commissioners who have
had charge during this tremendous increase in
expenditure are now asking for reelection, but
that if the Circuit Court had not ruled their
law unconstitutional they would have been
there for two years more without the neces-
sity of an election.
REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Republican leaders in this State claim to be
much gratifed with the prospects for success
in this campaign, and their views ars shared
by many more or less independent Democrats.
The disfranchising amendment seems likely to
be rejected by vote practically as decisive as
that cast against the similar measure four
years ago, and it is thought that the attempt
of the Democratic leaders to force this OBJ
noxious measure through will react against
their State candidate. Reference to the cleo
ton returns of 1905 shows that the majority
against the suffrage amendment in this county
that year was 2,616, and in the whole State
34,058, of which considerable more than half
was given in Baltimore city. The sentiment
against disfranchisement in the city seems as
strong as ever, and in addition many citizens
are exasperated by the long record of bungling
and worse during the present administration.
This record is not necessarily because this
administration is Democratic, but because of
the nature of its leadership. and as the only
way to down the leadership seems to be to
down the party, that is what the voters ap-
parently intend to do.
With 10 hold-over Democratic Senators, it
seems hardly possible that the Republicans
can gain control of both branches of the
Legislature, but it is believed that, even ifthey
do not hold y majority in the next House of
Delegates, they will have so strong a working
force there that they will be able to prevent
the passage of any more unjust election laws,
and perhaps to force the repeal of some of
those already on the statute books.

Mr.. Gardiner did not seek the nomination,
but acknowledging the call to public duty, he
has arranged his business affairs, SO that in the
event of his election. he can give full attention
to the duties of the Office. He is making his
canvass on the sound proposition that busi-
ness administration ofcounty affairs will prove
most satisfactory to the taxpayers of the
county, and he believes that under the present
system. in which politics and political favorites
control, very little good can be expected. He
believes that in home affairs party lines should
be drawn very loosely, and be thinks that
from the number of Democrats that have vol
unfairly rendered him their support, they
believe a change in the administration at
Towson would be considered not only benefit
to the county, but to the Democratic party in
the county. He wants the vote of every man
who wishes to see the county progress on
modern lines.

John P. POE.

In the passing of Mr.. John P. Poe, who died
of paralysis early Thursday morning at his
summer home at Ruxton, this State has lost a
notable figure. We prefer to speak of him as
aman and lawyer, without reference to his
political activities, which were mainly on a
line with which we do not sympathize, and
cannot in this connection criticise. But his
work in the legal field was of an able character
and classical. bis application to bis profession
being marked by devotion to law as a science,
rather than the pursuit of calling merely for
the sake of gain. The lawyers of Maryland
are profoundly indebted to him for his clear
and accurate treatise on pleading and practice
and his various codi6cations of the laws, and
hundreds of those of middle age or less owe
much to his personal instruction at the Mary
land University School of Law. He was a
survivor of the days when Maryland produced
big men, who took part in big events. AL
though ripe in his 73 years, he was associated
in the public mind with such perennial con-
temporaries as Mr.. Bernard Carter. the late
Senator William Pinkney Whyte and Bishop
William Paret, Cardinal Gibbons and former
Mayor Latrobe, and it had been hoped that
several years of active life were yet to be his.
Mr.. ROBERT LYON ROGERS, United States
Commissioner at Baltimore for many years.
and a man widely known throughout the
State, died at his home in the city, on the 8th
instant. aged So years. He was appointed
Commissioner in 1867 and held the office con-
tinuously to the time of his death. Mr.. Rogers,
who was bachelor, was brother of the late
@. Lyon Rogers, ST., of Baltimore county.

In ANOTHER column we print letter from
Mr.. August Weis to the Baltimore Sun. Mr..
Weis asserts that be presented the letter at the
Office of the Sun, and that the editors of that
paper refused to print it, even as paid adver-
tisement. 1t is in reply to an editorial recent
ly printed in the Sun attacking Mr.. Weis and
evidently rewritten from a similar editorial
which appeared in the Democrat and Journal
two weeks ago. The letter is vigorous and
clear and needs no further explanation.

Our neighbor, the Democrat and Journal,
now and then prints something so favorable
to the Republican cause as to create serious
doubts whether it will not sooner or later
"fop'' and join the ranks of the party which
generally and uniformly stands for good gov
ernment. One Of these arguments in favor of
the Republican party, or, at least, against
part of the Democratic ticket, was on the first
page of the Democrat and Journal last week,
and was entitled "What Democratic Boards of
County Commissioners Have Done" The
article was in the nature of a series Of tables
giving the amounts collected from the tax
payers of Baltimore county every year for the
last ten years. For fear great many of the
persons most concerned did not see the tables,
the most material part is here reprinted. 1t
shows the amount raised in each year, from
1899 to 1909 inclusive.

STATE SENATOR WILLIAM B. BAKER of Har-
ford county stands very good chance of re-
election, according to reports that come from
across the Little Gunpowder. His opponent,
Mr.. Charles A. Andrew, is regarded as one OF
the most popular Democrats in that county,
but knowing ones predict that he will suffer
the same fate as former Senator Thomas H.
Robinson did four years ago. Mr.. Bakers
personal magnetism and his fine record have
made his nomination almost equivalent to an
election, even in the strongly Democratic ter
ritory of Hartford county.
