Things that the Election on
Tuesday Next will
Determine.

Do not forget that it takes IA
cross Ky marks to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, includ-
ing the amendment. Count them
before you leave the booth.
Vote straight and your ticket
will not be spoiled.
The election on Tuesday is one
of the most important ever held in
Maryland.
1t will determine whether this
state which has had excellent Dem
ocratic rule since 1867. shall be
turned over to the Republican
party.
1t will determine whether Car.
roll county, which has been under
Democratic control for forty years
shall be handed over to the Repub-
licans.
1t will determine whether 10000
negroes, who debaueh our elector-
ate, are to continue 10 vote in Mary
land.
Every Democrat must be active
and alert on Election day.
No good Democrat can afford 10
cut his ticket st this important
Election.

Some farms have steam boilers and
engines, but for ordinary use they are
too expensive TO buy and too compli-
Gated to run. II Il person only needs
fiye or ten horse power engine he
don't want TO bother with steam en-
gine. II takes too long to get up
steam and too much attention when
running. What he needs Is a gasoline
engine.
The newer patterns OF gasoline en-
gines are practically automatic. You
can start one after breakfast In the
morning and Il will run steadily until
noon without attention. They start
quickly, jump right into full power
and run at less expense than any 9TH
er farm motor power except wind
mills, and these are unreliable, be-
cause they are subject to the whims
and fancies of the winds.
One mistake often made in buying
a farm gasoline engine Is In getting
II too small. You need little re-
serve power. II you need two horse
power buy a four horse power en-
gine. II don't cost any more to run
II TO do two horse power worth of
work, then you have the extra power
when you need It. The cost OF size
larger Is not great deal when COM
pared with the additional service 1t
will render-The Epitomist

The Amendment.

On next Tuesday the voters will
determine whether or not Maryland
shall be governed in the future by
the best thought of the descendants
of those men who settled the fair
est province of King Charles. We
believe that the white race will win,
yet it must in the beginning over
come handicap Of more than fifty
thousand blacks Then and then
only does the contest against men
OF our own race entertaining diff
ferent views start.
And this is the crux of the whole
situation. As things now are. our
political campaigns are not con
tests between the best and most
foreward thought of men among
the dominant race holding differ
ent views, but are struggles be.
tween men holding one view repre-
scntlng more than a half of our
white population on one side. and
few whites entertaining diff
ferent view backed up by the
blacks on the other. Such "A con
dition is not conducive to the
healthy growth of good govern
ment.
The Advocate has never believed
in the amendment as a party meas
ure as it cannot entertain the hopes
OF some Of its partisans, nor has it
seriously considered the vehement
denunciation of its opponents, who
claim it will make Maryland a one
party State. On the contrary, il
believes that the amendment when
adopted will cause many of the
methods pursued by the Democratic
party in the past to be abandoned,
and force it's fights to be made on
different grounds in the future.
The men who at present control
the Republican primaries are as a
rule only those who are willing Co
fraternize with the darkey in order
to gain his support; consequently
its best element has nothing TO do
with debating its policy. The eli
minatlon Of the negro will however
enable them TO come forward with
self respect and take part in the
councils of their party. The Dem
ocratlc party will not gain by this,
but the State of Maryland will.
Under such circumstances the
amendment ceases to be a party
measure and thoughtful men will
arise above party interest and sup.
port it, for by voting for it they
will be voting for the interest OF
Maryland, which will be protected
best when the highest thought OF
the white race is permitted to pre-.
vail and govern.

Local Ticket.

1t is most gratifying fact that
at the close of this campaign we
find that no charge Of ineficiency
has been directly brought against
the party conduct of affairs in Car
roll or the personnel of its ticket.
This is the highest compliment it
could receive, for we know that it
is not caused by a spirit Of charity,
but results solely from inability to
discover the slightest ground for
fault finding.
Upon what theory then can a
Democrat be requested to support
a Republican 2 Not on the ground
Of party influence, because 1T has
been always exerted for good in the
past, not on the ground of the SUI
perior fitness Of the Republican
candidates for office, for this is
not true. The only thing then left
is personal friendship. This is al
ways strong factor in our actions
and though an individual is right
in obeying it in his private affairs,
he should not run the risk of sac
rificing the interests of the people
of his county for private gratifi-
cation. The Republican party s
record in Carroll IS not such as to
demonstrate that It's influence has
bcen for the good of the county
with the few men It has elected to
Offices Of public trust
A recent publication Of the T..
S. Government Wealth, Debt and
Taxation) shows that Carroll is to
the forefront Of the counties Of the
state in its financial condition it
is model for the others, and has
attracted the attention Of public
men. This condition is the result
of the work Of the Democratic
party. Should not a faithful ser
want be rewarded ? II YOU believe
this, then you should support our
ticket. When we are recreant 10
the trust confded TO us will be the
time, TO condemn by refusing your
support.

GATHER AND TIE NEGRO.

The former Republican nominee for
Governor OF Maryland, George II.
Gather, Esq. OF Baltimore, seems to
recognize the right OF the white peo-
pie 10 rule In governmental affairs
In this state. Al banquet at the Bel
yedere Hotel, Baltimore, last winter,
Mr.. Gather in a speech said.
THE white man is the representa-
tive Of government and whenever the
negro in numbers reaches the point
where there Is danger OF domination
he should be disfranchised-no be
cause he is black, but because he does
not possess the qualifications which
are essential for the proper exercise
OF governmental power" 1t would be
impossible to find more explicit rec
ognition Of the difference in capacity
of the two races than this.
