Mr.. Editor Mr. B. H. Warner, Jr., Re-
publican candidate for Congress in the
Sixth District of Maryland, is claiming the
votes of Republicans in the district pre-
sumably because he claims to be Repub-
lican. 1t is generally conceded that
candidate on party ticket must have
clear record of party loyalty before he has
right to claim undivided party support
Judging Mr.. Warner by this fair and I'M
questionable rule, let us see what claim
he has to the support of Republicans.
The Warmers, father and son, first be-
came most prominent in the politics OF
the Sixth Congressional District in the year
1908, when B. H. Warner, ST. (the father),
was a candidate for Congress in the dis
trict. He and his son claimed to reside
and have their political influence in Mont
gomery county. In 1908 Colonel Pearre
defeated B, II. Warner, Sr, (the father),
for the Congressional nomination. Both
father and son pledged themselves to vote
and work for the Republican ticket, B. H..
Warner, Sr., going to the length of making
appointments with the County Committee
of Montgomery county to make speeches
in behalf of Colonel Pearre. the Republi-
can candidate. in the county. When the
meetings at which he promised to speak
and for which he had been advertised to
speak, were held he did not put in an
appearance, but was found making speeches
at some small meetings in Baltimore and
through Southern Maryland, and when in
quiry was made of him as to why he was
not keeping his appointments in Mont
gomery county, he declared that Pearre
would be defeated that he would not
speak in his behalf, and would shed no tears
if he were defeated.
The political activity of father and son. as
far as the Republican party was concerned,
ceased Immediately after the nomination
was made in 1908. Montgomery county,
in which they claim to reside and have
their influence. gave a Democratic majority
of S73 for the Democratic nominee for
Congress and majority of SAL for the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
Mr.. Bryan. Two years before that, in 1906
Colonel Pearre. the Republican nominee
for Congress- in that year, when neither OF
the Warmers was specially active. carried
the Democratic county of Montgomery oveI
Mr.. Spessard by 1871 majority, having also
carried it when he first ran in 1898 by
| III majority. 1t will thus appear that the
Warmers Gather and SOM were not active
and were certainly not effective in thu
campaign two years ago when Colone
Pearre was candidate, because the county
changed from 1911 majority for Pearre II
1906 to 873 against him in 1908. More
over, it has been stated without contra
diction. and can be proved if necessary
that the Warmers solicited votes agains
Colonel Pearre in Montgomery county il
the Congressional election of 1908. and |
can be further proved that in the earl!
part Of the recent Republican primar!
campaign b. II. Warner, ST., declared, il
the presence of number of people a
Gaithersbure. in Montgomery county, an
elsewhere, that il either Pearre or Blal
were nominated for Congress he would en-
deavor to secure his defeat at the election
and had already gained pledges of lare
number of Republicans in Monteomer
county to vote against either of them
the election. There is scriptural authorit
to the effect that. HE who draws the swor
will perish by the sword, and. as tn
Warmers drew the sword against Pear
in Montgomery county in 1908, it now be
comes apparent that the Biblical prophec
will be fulfilled and that b. II. Warner, Jr
the alleged Republican candidate for Cor
gress. will perish by the sword.
