The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1910-08-11

on July 9th, he says: Permit me to
say that my residence is at Kensington,
at the home of my father, and where
we spend most of our time. 1t is true
that the premises, 21O0 Mass. Ave,
near Dupont Circle, Washington, D. c.,
belongs to the Warmers, but for the
past fifteen years nv circumstances
have been such that it was impossible
for me to stay there LIST, because my
time Is not always my own, and 2nd the
said premises is too small to accommo-
date all the Warmers. When not at
kenslngtOn, however, it is necessary
for me to find some place to room and
board. He offers no facts, in his let
ter. as to how he acquired his residence
in kensington, or how long he remains
there any one period during a year, or
nothing showing what his interests are,
his business or any other circumstance
necessary to constitute a legal residence
as defined by law.
Mr.. Warner, Jr.. being an unmarried
man, with no family, resides with his
father in Washington whose own right
as citizen Of Maryland was denied him
by the Court of Appeals of Maryland
His father at that time did own real es-
tate in Montgomery county, while the
son, the asplrant for Congress, owns
none. His father case was, therefore.
stronger one than the sons. He ad-
mits that his law Offices are in the city
Of Washington, and he expects to have
them there as long as he is engaged in
active practice. He is not member
Of the Maryland bar, has no Offices in
hensngtCn and is engaged IN no bust
ness there. He says that he and his
father spend most Of their time at his
father S home in kensington. OF couIse
he would have you believe that the
SO, GOO paiaJial reside &C. owned by the
Warmers near Dupont Circle, Washing
tor, is practically abandoned by his
father and himself and their modest
home, costing a few thousand dollars.
at kensington, Montgomery county. is
the real home of the father and son.
Does any one seriously consider that as
a fact? Don't we all know that rich
men have their permanent homes in the
cities and their summer homes in the
country? This Is undoubtedly the case
with the Warmers.
The writer has been reliably informed
that Mr.. Warmers father is not now a
qualified registered voter IN Montgom-
cry county. If not, why not? Is it be-
cause Mr.. Warner, ST., believes he is
not entitled to register, or is it lack of
interest? If the former, then the single
son with whom he resides is not, either.
If father and son both live in Kensing-
ton in the same house. why should one
be registered and the other not? Mr..
Warner, Jr says he has to find a place
/ : a ar1I bIor1 h. -, :
( Kensington. Where is this place? He
did not, in his letter, tell the people of
the Sixth District where it is.
Are the Republicans of the Sixth Dis
trict willing to run the risk of nominal
ing a candidate for Congress under these
facts and circumstances, when the Con-
stItutiOn of the United States says: mo
person shall be Representative in Con-
gress who shall not, when elected. be an
inhabitant Of tFat State from which he
shall be chosen? Don't they know that
such ris'. is dangerous? Suppose after
his nomination someone applies to the
/ registration officers to have his name
erased from the poll books. and his
name is erased, he must appeal, as in
/ his fathers case, and the action of the
! register is sustained, what will become
Of Mr.. Warmers candidacy? 1t will be
! too late to get another. The election
will be oyer and a Democrat will hold
the office. Don't YOU know this? Don t
you know, Republicans, that the Demo
Gratis are going to take advantage of
every scheme and device to elect rep
resentative from the Sixth District this
fall? The National Democratic party
will leave nothing undone to secure the
lower house of Congress this year and
much talk is already around that the
next House of Representatives will be
Democratic. Many influential persons
believe it will be- If so, and Mr.. War
ner, Jr., after being elected, is stricken
from the register in his county, and APP
plies to the House Of Representatives
for admission, what chance do YOU sup
pose he will have to be seated? Why.
none in the world. The result of it all
would be that the Republicans of the
/ Sixth District will find themselves in a
beautiful situation, with a Democrat
representing them, whose vote may
