Political Paragraphs

The Republicans, white and
black, are supporting the Re-
publican ticket regardless of
the names upon it. They are
voting for their party. Demo-
Gratis, there is no reason why
you should not be as loyal to
the Democratic party as the
Republican is to his party.
Your party represents white
supremacy. 1t places you above
the negro. Every man ON the
ticket stands for this principle
and it is for you to say by your
vote whether or not you believe
the white people of the State
should dominate the affairs of
government. You can do this
only by voting for the Amend
ment and the entire Democratic
ticket.

GOVERNOR CROTHERS WILL
BE HERE.

Governor Austin l.. Crothers,
Comptroller Joshua w. Herring
and Hon. A. S. Goldsborough
will address the people of Wor-
cester County in the Court
House at Snow Hill next Tues
day afternoon on the issues of
the political campaign now
waging in this State. DR.. Her
ing and Mr. Goldsborough have
made speeches here before to
large audiences and have
aroused great enthusiasm by
their forcible utterances. but
this is the first appearance of
Governor Crothers before a
Worcester audience. He is a
man who talks straight from
the shoulder. He is honest, rug
ged and fearless. He has won
for himself the esteem and con-
fidence of all the people of
Maryland. You should not miss
the opportunity which will be
afforded you next Tuesday of
hearing this great man speak.
Worcester people endorsed his
candidacy for governor by an
emphatic majority and they
have no reason to regret their
act. He was i'll at the time of
the election and during the cam
paign which preceded it; there
fore, was unable to make his APP
pearance and advocate his cause
before the people of Worcester
County. That you will give
him a rousing reception next
Tuesday. October Goth, we have
no doubt, and that you will give
DIR. Herring the same hearty
greeting he has always received
from you we are confident; and
that Mr.. Goldsborough will be
greeted heartily and cordially
goes without saying. He is one
of the best speakers in the State
and is a favorite with the people
of Worcester County. Rally,
Democrats! Turn out in your
might; bring your friends and
neighbors with you and from
now until election time sound
the tocsin of the white mans
rule.

In every section of the county
Democrats made large gains in
the registration. We're march
ing on to a glorious victory. A
white mans victory. Come
along with us. You'll be well
come and be where you ought
to be. Every white woman in
Worcester County should use
her influence with husband,
brother or son to vote for the
Amendment and the Democratic
candidates. With the Amend
ment you want a Democratic
Senator and Democratic Men,
bers of the Legislature to make
sure that you get what you have
advocated.

Before the recent Democratic
convention Democrats of Wor-
cester County had their prefer
ences for party candidates.
Some were disappointed in not
getting the men nominated they
desired, but as true party men
they have buried their differ
ences and in every district of
the county they are rallying to
the support of the Democratic
nominees. On the second of
November old Worcester will
make such a showing for the
Democratic party as will make
glad the hearts of those who
stood by the ticket and helped
to carry it to a glorious victory.
The entire ticket will be elected
by a big majority and you will
feel glad that you had a part in
making the victory complete.

SENATOR JOHN p. MOORE is
making a hustling canvass for
himself and the entire Demo-
cratic ticket. Numerous people
who have not heretofore voted
for him have pledged him their
support this year and are pleas

stood by them and gave them
the legislation they so earnestly
desired.

RALLY DEMOCRATS


The campaign is now on and
in full blast, and is progressing
to the satisfaction of the Demo-
cratic party. Large and en-
thusiastic meetings are being
held in various counties of the
State and everywhere the indi-
cations are favorable for a great
Democratic victory at the COM
ing election.
The suffrage amendment,
which is the paramount issue
in the campaign, is rapidly
gaining, and as the voters get
to understand it they are falling
into line for its adoption. There
is now a splendid opportunity
for the people of our State to
rid our electorate of the black
cloud that has been hanging
over our people since the en-
reimbursement of the negro and
put this State where it ought to
be, in the hands of the white
people, who are qualified by in
telligence and property inter-
ests to manage the affairs of
our good old Commonwealth.
This is the time for every
Democrat to stand to his colors
and do his duty. The party has
raised its standard and every
good Democrat will rally to it.
1t is the time of all others for
the Democrats to bestir them
selves and not only vote but en-
deavor to show their Republi-
can friends the Importance of
securing to themselves and their
posterity white supremacy in
our State.
The Democratic party in this
county is vitality interested in
the coming election. Many i'm
portant offices of the county
are to be filled, and it must be
remembered that the Republi.
can party of this county corrals
1900 negroes, who solidly vote
the Republican ticket. So that
1900 voters are to be set off to
match these negroes before the
election among the white people
begins.
AS a rule. these negroes have
no interest in the county or
State government, pay little
taxes, do nothing but mechan-
ically vote the Republican
ticket, thereby destroying the
votes of that many intelligent
white men.
We repeat that every man
who has ever called himself a
Democrat must come to the
front in this campaign and help
his party to elect the whole
ticket and to adopt the suffrage
amendment.

ALL over Maryland the Demo-

entitled, Give Me Neither

in part:
1T is to be wished that those
who preach and practice the Cos
pei that heaping up riches by a
community or individual is CON-
mendable should learn the true
wisdom teaching that it is well
to have neither great poverty nor
great riches.
The movement to secure ad-
equate taxation of vast fortunes
is a healthy movement. replacing
the sullen discomfort, restless
pessimism and evil preparation
Tor revolution.
The multi-millionaire is not
a healthy development. II his
fortune rests on the basis of
wrong doing he is a more dan
gerous criminal than the ordinary
types.
IF his fortune is the result OF
great service rendered, when he
passes 1t on to someone who has
not rendered the service the gov
eminent should impose a heavily |
graded inheritance tax bearing |
the heaviest on absentees."

SMALLER DRY DOCK
FOR PEARL HARBOR
Plans Have Been Altered to

OwinS TO the inability OF the Navy
Department to obtain bids for the con-
-structicn OF a dry dock at the naval
station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian Is
lands. within the amount made avail
able by Congress, the plans for the
dock have been materially altered and
new bids VIII be invited. The>1ength OF
the dock las been reduced from 200 to
GO feet, and from a double to a single
dock As now designed, however. IT
Will take the largest battleship built. or
contemplated. New bids will be opened
on May p.
All the features Of the former design
have been retained, excepting that
where formerly there were two docks
In one, an inner and an outer. with 2
caisson between them. in the new de-
sign there viii be only the outer dock
The structure IS planned in such a
way that, at any future time II may be
heightened by the addition of the inner
dock. The side walls of the dock viii
be built exactly as IL the long dock
were to be constructed, and concrete
vail viii be placed across the head
end, forming a closed basin This con-
crete cross wall or head is TO be builI
in such a manner that II can be easily
removed. while at the same time its
construction is such that II will last as

Secretary knOx's policy Of hitting hard
has had a most decided effect.
Even If the settlement Of the Emery
case by arbitration IS agreed upon, the
warships Will not be Withdrawn until
the present situation is much modified.
Dispatches indicate that military &C
tiYity continues and as the other re-
publics fail TO show similar activity, it
will be up to Zelaya TO explain his
declaration that he IS on the defensive.
Decided Change.
Secretary KnOx's declaration to Mica
ragua signalizes a decided change in the
attitude of the United States toward
Central American matters. When Sec
rotary Root came into office the general
feeling of every country south Of Mex
leo was that the United States was
preparing to swallow them up when
occasion offered. Mr.. Root succeeded
in dispelling that idea and the Latin
American republics, especially since the
evacuation OF Cuba have shown a de-
cided change Of front
The present feeling IS such that the
direct Interference of the United States
in Central American affairs would be
welcomed by other republics which de
sire to be differentiated from the kind
Of government which prevails in Mica
TaBua.
