The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1909-10-28

Why? Because the Democracy of Ale
gany county do themselves stand for
disfranchisement. They have their
on the Democratic
State Central Committee, they send
their delegates to the Democratic State
Conventions, and the representatives Of
the Democracy of Allegany county
stand hand in glove with the Demo
cratic State organization in it's effort to
pass measures of disfranchisement for
the destruction of the Republican party
in Maryland. Mr.. DeWarren H. Rey-
nolds, of Cumberland, was on the Com
mittee on Resolutions of the last Dem
ocratic State Convention, which Com
mittee presented to the Convention a
resolution which was made part of
the present Democratic State platform,
upon which each and every State, ju-
dicial and county nominee of that party
now stands, and which resolution de-
cares that the Straus DISTINGUISHING
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1909-10-28
LET US CRUSH THE AMENDMENT.

1t is practically conceded by the Dem
ocratic leaders that the Straus disfran-
chislng amendment will be defeated in
Allegany county by majority of not
less than 1900 votes. Those in close
touch with the sentiment of the people
on this subject believe the Democratic
estimate to be too conservative. They
point out that in 1905 the Poe disfran-
chising amendment was defeated in this
county by ajority of 1898 votes, and
they are confident in the belief that the
popular vote against the present effort
of the Democratic party to perpetuate
its power, destroy the Republican par
ty and rob the people of the elective
franchise will be even more emphatic
and overwhelming than that registered
in 1905. They look for a majority of
not less than $500 against the Straus
amendment
The point is that every person who
votes against the Straus amendment
should vote the entire Republican State,
judicial and county ticket The person
ahty of each Individual nominee on the
Republican ticket is such as to insure
its complete success at the polls, and
the Republican party is therefore re-
newing and redoubling its efforts for
the triumph of all its candidates with
all the prestige and encouragement of
conceded victory.
What the Republican perty wants at
the present moment, however, in addi-
ton to the election of its whole ticket is
great majorities for every man on it.
Not. for mere vulgar display, nor for
the personal discontinue of any Demo
crat, but because there is great moral
.ssue involved. The Democratic party
| of Allt gany county must accept its
proper share of the responsibility for
| the efforts of the Democratic State or
ganization to pass DISTINGUISHING amend
ments in order to destroy the Republi-
can party in Maryland. 1t is folly for
| the Democrats to attempt to justify
their partisan measures of disfranchise-
ment on the silly plea of negro domina-
ton" During the 40 years preceding
| the administration of Governor LoWndes
when the Democratic party was in alb
solute power in this State, and when
| during the whole of that period there
were far more negroes in Maryland
than there are today, the Democratic
party made not whisper about negro
domination. 1t was only when they
found the Republican party had become
| power in the State and that it was
able to elect great Republican COVER
nor, as it did in 1896, when it elected
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, that the Demo-
cratic party became greatly concerned
about the intelligence of the common
people and their right to vote.
We say that the Democratic party of
Allegany county must accept their full
share of the responsibility for the in
iquitous disfranchisement measures of
the Democratic State organization.

amendment is the paramount issue"
of the campaign, and must be adopted.
Why did not Mr.. Reynolds protest
against this crime against the people of
Maryland and against the Republican
party? No one knows why, and yet
he did not. and every nominee of the
Democratic party, State, judicial and
county, stands upon the platform which
Mr.. Reynolds, the representative of the
Allegany Democracy, helped to make,
and which calls for the destruction of
the Republican party and the perpetu-
alton of Democratic ring rule by the
adoption of the Straus DISTINGUISHING
amendment, Certainly the Democrats
of Allegany county, through the in
strumentality of their representative,
Mr.. Reynolds, have attempted to force
disfranchisement and political destruc-
ton upon the party of their Republi-
can fellow-citizens- party which has
done much good and no harm. The Re

THE EDITOR of this paper during the
campaign which is now drawing TO a
close, has had occasion to criticise and
not unjustly or too harshly. a number
of people who are opposing the ticket
named by the Republican party at the
convention held in Oakland. Among
the number thus criticised was Mr.. Gil
NOR S. Hamill, lawyer and leading spirit
in the Peoples party movement.
Usually we are too busy with the cares
that go to make up the life of the aver
age country newspaper editor to notice
criticism meant to be destructive and
which clearly bears the imprint of jeal-
ously, hatred and desire to see none
prosper except those who can be used
Tor purpose. Fighting from the last
ditch of defeat, Mr. Gilmor S. Hamill,
lawyer and legal advisor of the B. & o.
Railroad company in this community,
exploded what he considered ''hot shot"
against the editor of this paper in
spcSCu iIldue DIT beeI dTh last CdtuT-
day night. 1t was but feeble attempt,
however, on the part of Mr.. Hamill,
who has discredited himself with the
Democratic party and is now endeavor-
ing to bring ABOUT the defeat of the Re-
publican candidates by his use of cam
paign methods of abuse and SANDER,
which evaporated into thin air When
ever an explosive is to be set off effec-
lively it must be securely tamped or
otherwise held in place, so that its rend-
ing force may be fully applied, but
whenever scandalous, unfounded and
grossly exaggerated accusation is made
against an Individual, a city or news
paper, its damaging effects is very
largely conditioned by the actions of the
intended victims. But if the attacked,
conscious of their own rectitude of pur-
pose, go serenely on their way and trust
to time and their own good works,
rather than hot. hasty, harsh speech to
plead for them, such charges explode
harmlessly, with much noise and smoke,
perhaps, but with no damage to any but
the would-be blasters. Election dav
will tell the tale, after which Mr.. Hamill
will lose all asperity of temper and be-
come himself again.

MAY AMEND CHICKEN
KEEPING ORDINANCE
MANY PROTESTS RECEIVED BY
HEALTH BOARD
DR.. Powers Probably Will Recommend
Limit Be Reduced to Twenty
Feet from Dwelling
House

Chicken fanciers who get their fresh
eggs and poultry from their own back
lot have raised a storm of protest
against the ordinance which became
effective Thursday, prohibiting the
keeping of chickens within thirty-hVe
feet of a dwelling house. The board or
health and members of the council
were flooded with letters yesterday by
indignant protestants, who believe their
personal liberties are abridged by the
enforcement of the new ordinance.
DR.. Powers, health officer, is inclinded
to agree with them. and will recon-
mend to the council Tuesday that the
distance be made twenty feet instead
of thirty-fiVe. The ordinance is not d
new one. and attention has been called
to it at this time only by the fact that
it was recently slightly amended. The
old ordinance made it misdemeanor
to "pen" chickens within thlrty-hVe
feet of a dwelling house. Inc new
ordinance prohibits them from being
SO kept or fed Under the policy OF
the new administration of enforcing all
laws, Los Angeles citizens do not want
to find themselves in jeopardy because
they keep chickens in their back yard.
In some sections of the city where
building lots are short 1t would be I'M
possible for residents to have chickens
at all unless they kept them tied to the
back fence, and in some instances It
would be necessary to keep and feed,
them in their neighbors back yards II
the 35-foot limit is enforced. AS 1t is,
these persons with short lots who make
a little profit from the chickens and
eggs their back yards produce look on
the ordinance as a hardship

CITY PHYSICIAN is
APPOINTED BY BOARD
Sanitary Inspector, Held Up by ln-
convenient Leave of Absence,
Is Given Place in De-
partment

AT a special meeting of the board of
health held last night DR.. P. V. K.
johnson was appointed city physician.
This is a new position, created by an
ordinance recently passed by the coun-
ell, and is one of the pet projects Tor
better civic health proposed by the
active new health board. DR.. SherWln
Gibbons is the father of the idea ana
he and his colleagues believe mucl
good will come from the appointment
of a city physician. -.
While the duties of the office are
not expected TO occupy all the time OF
the physician he will be on call at any
time the health officer may demand.
His chief work will be the performance
of medical service among the poor Oh
the city who are unable to secure a
good physician.
The health board also appointed
Charles Connors sanitary inspector.
Connors has been on the eligible nst
for such a position for a long time and
was once appointed by the previous
board of health but given a leave OF
absence. He took the leave because the
position to which the former board
wished to appoint him paid but $40 a
month.
Before his leave expired better posi-
ton opened but the civil service board
held he could not take position until
his leave had expired. Under such a
ruling it appeared the end of the leaVe
of absence and the vacancy would nave
to come together and it seemed Con-
nors would never get his position. Inc
board took matters into it's own hands
last night and appointed Connors 20
ill vacancy.

COUNCIL HEARS TALK
ON GARBAGE MATTER
DISCUSS SPECIFICATI IONS WITH
INTERESTED CONTRACTORS
Hog Feeding, Under Proper Sanitary
Restrictions, Receive Serious Con-
ideration-Denver Method
of Disposal Approved

Some progress was made by the coun-
Gil yesterday in the matter of garbage,
although the arguments presented by
the advocates of the three methods of
garbage disposal were practically the
same as those presented before.
No definite action was taken, but IL
is probable something will be done to-
ward the adoption of the specifications
presented by the board of public works
at the council meeting next Tuesday:
The three methods of garbage dis
posal for which the specifications pro-
vide are incineration, the method now
used by the city for such garbage as
escapes the clutches of the hog men;
the reduction process, which transforms
the garbage into fertilizer and soap
grease, and for hog feeding, which
turns garbage into pork chops and SUI
gar cured hams.
A number of advocates of the hog
feeding process appeared before the
council yesterday in an effort to con-
vince that body that table refuse can
be fed to hogs in a sanitary manner
and without offense to the surrounding
property owners. The hog feeders ac-
knowledged that the residents of the
Sixth ward, who complain against the
hog pens in Vernon just over the city
line, have Just cause for complaint, but
declare this cause existed on account
of the insanitary methods used in hog
feeding. If proper methods are adopted
garbage can be fed so there can be no
just cause for complaint, they declared.
Favors Hog Feeding
The council is inclined to look favor
ably on the hog feeding method, be-
cause if a garbage contract is let for
hog feeding purposes it means the price
the city will have to pay wiz be small.
The hog men are willing to make their
profit from their pens, while the 1ncin-
orator men want their profit from the
city. The reduction men viii ask more
than the hog feeders and less than the
incinerator men, because they make a
profit from the by-product of the garo-
age. =,
1t was suggested that the council
send a committee to Denver and COLO
RADIO Springs if they want to see how
hogs can be fed on garbage and every
sanitary regulation obeyed. The Hog
