Attorney Generals Opinion.

The opinion of the Attorney General,
addressed to Gen. Nandiver, says, in part
Replying to your inquiry whether Or
not chapter Al of the Acts of the Gen
eral Assembly of Maryland of 1910 being
the primary election law, embraces and
applies to the nomination of canddat es
for the House of Representatives of the
federal Congress by the political parties
referred to in the act. l beg to advise YOU
that said nominations are within and
must be made according to provisions OF
the said statute.
The title of the act is strongly indica-
tive that it intended to relate to and cover
the nominations of all candidates for pub
lie Office within this state. The title de-
article 33 of the Code of Public General
Laws, entitled Elections are to be en-
acted under the subtitle Primary Elec-
tons regulating primary elections in the
state of Maryland for all candidates 70.
public offices of certain political parties
| in and for Baltimore city and the several
counties of the state. -
These words are surely comprehensive
enough to include nominations of candi
dates for the Office of congressman.
ta) The language of the title JUS
quoted indicates that the act is to regu
late primary elections in the state OF
Maryland. These unrestricted term:
would. of themselves. indicate the regula
luis VI all primary eiectlohs III the sld.e
''(b) The language further is for all can
didates for public Office of certain politica
parties This phraseology is also unqual
ifiedly comprehensive.
'tc) The further expression in the title
lin and for Baltimore city and the severa
counties of the state Is, in fact. equally
broad and general because the language
is not only for Baltimore city and the
| several counties Of the state. but in anc
for Baltimore city and the several coun
ties of the state. Certainly a candidate
for Congress is candidate for public
Office in and for Baltimore city or in ant
for the several counties of the state Of
with respect to those congressional dis
| tricts composed of counties and portions
| of Baltimore city in and for Baltimor,
| city and the several counties of the state.
This language of the title is repea ed
| in the enacting clause OF section / OF
the act.

Amendment Quickly Adopted.

There was no discussion of the amend
ment and it was passed in the time re-
auired for the reading of the amendment
and the putting of the question. Several
noes were heard when the motion was
put, but the ayes were overwhelming
ly in the majority. :
AS passed by the House, the bill con-
tanned no such provision, and this amend
ment will therefore be one of the points
in dispute to be decided by the conferees.
This amendment will have the effect of
maintaining railroad connections with the
local navy yard until some other track
connections can be made or it can be de-
cided that the present grade tracks are to
be continued indefinitely.
The grade crossings on the navy yard
switch are the only grade crossings left
in the city and there has been much agi-
tation to have them removed. The fran
chise for the present switch expires May
*, and unless some provision for an eX
tension of time is made it is feared that
the railroad connection with the navy
yard will be cut off on that date. Such d
condition. it has been predicted, will cut
down the amount of work which can be
done in the gun factory
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-05-24
Construction by Government.

An effort was made TO pass a special
bill, few days ago in the House, re-
curing the continuance of the present
tracks for two years, but 1t failed. Since
that time. however, Representative Sims
has introduced bill requiring the Sec
rotary of the Navy to construct a new
railroad switch to the navy yard along
the Anacostia river from the east and
authorizing an expenditure of $200300
and the cost of the land for the purpose.
This bill will also require the mainte-
nance of the present track connections
until the new switch is completed.
The necessity for railroad connections
with the navy yard will be argued sin
conference as a reason for keeping the
amendment in the bill.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-05-24
Omission Not to Be Assumed.

1T is certainly hardly to be proposed
that the act of 1870 repeating all existing
regulations affecting nominations for OF
flee and establishing a general legal sys-
tenn regulating such nominations. would
omit to include provisions covering the
nominations of candidates for the Office
of representative and leave nominations
for that nigh and important post in the
public service unprotected. unregulated
and utterly untouched by any legal pro-
vision whatsoever.
IF the act of 1910, chapter TAI. does not
affect and cover nominations of candl-
oates for Congress. then there is no law
whatever which does, and such nomina-
lions must be made in outlaw primaries
without any legal sanction or any legal
guide or restraint. There would be no
public official to conduct them: there
would be no public official to appoint per-
sons to conduct them; there would be no
legal responsibility in administering
them: there would be no penalties for
Notwithstanding them.
In the absence of any such express eN-
cluSion or other exception. I conclude
that the nominations in question are COW
cred by the act and must be made in the
several congressional districts of the
state by the direct vote of the duly regis
tered voters belonging to or acting with
the respective parties making such nom
nations, and not otherwise.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-05-24
As to State Candidates.

'''There is further confirmation of the
view in section 1904, that the candidates
of such political parties for governor, at
torney general controller and clerk of
the court of appeals of the state shall be
nominated by state conventions etc. This
provso appears in the act an express
exception to the provision that all candi-
dates for public office a. aforesaid shall
be nominated by direct vote.
1T would therefore seem that all con-
didates for public Office in and for BaIti-
more city and the various counties of the
state was intended to embrace the state
at large as we'll as Baltimore city and
the several counties respectively, as geo
graphical divisions thereof. In the sec
ond place, the special provision except
ing the four state offices mentioned leaves
1t strongly to be inferred that congress
sional nominees are not to be excepted
Furthermore, the act here in question,
stamped in its title and upon its face and
context a statute enacted fer the pur-
pose of regulating primary elections In
tie state of Maryland, for all candidates
for public Office in and fer Baltimore city
and the several counties Of the state,
must unluestionably be accepted as in
tended by the legislature TO establish IN
and for the state at large and its Several
political divisions a general legal system
or scheme Of nominating candidates Tor
public office. This legal scheme CT sys-
TEN supplanted statutes which undeniahly
included nominations of candidates for
Congress within their provisions. and
under which in Baltimore city. as we'll as
in the counties, congressional nominees
of the leading political parties in the
state had been named.

STAINLESS
REV. HARRY o. SCOTT DIS
CUSSES PROPOSED STATE
CAPITAL REMOVAL
WOULD Be REPUTATION
OF PLEDGE OF PEOPLE
Solemn Compact Between State
OF Oklahoma and the
Government

Stainless honor, or Capita! Re
mova before 1918" was the subject
chosen by Dr. Harry Omar Scott
last evening at the Presbyterian
church There is no one thing Guth-
rie is more interested in at present
than the matter Of the capital loca-
tion. which has been unJustly thrust
upon the people at this time and as
a result there was large assembl-
age of Guthrie citizens TO hear Dr..
Scott. The text was found in Psalms
10, first and fourth verses, Lord,
who shall abide in Thy tabernacle
Who shall dwell in Thy holy hills?
'fle that sweareth to his own hurt
and changeth not. F"
The above passage is picture OF
stainless honor by the pen OF the He
brew poet.
The three principal points brought
out were, Stainless honor despses
the wrigglng out of obligations and
technicalities;" second stainless
honor prizes the states good name
as an invaluable asset and, thi d,
stainless honor is very careful with
reference TO the influence of any act
upon the citizens of the state" Dr.
Scott said in part:
Honor Is life. Take honor and
YOU have taken life. II behooves us,
therefore, to ask ourselves what
ought we to do to repudiate Solemn
compact between the state of Okla
homa and the government, ratified
by the people at the polls. This
compact holds good until 1913, as
does the prohibition law until 1928
After 1913, if the citizens or Okla
h0ma so desire, let them vote Tor re-
moyal, but until then the honor OF
the state is at stake and if the peo-
pie OF the state vote on the removal
Of the capital before that date, as set
by the ordinance, we as people
lose our honor. We must stand by
what we agreed TO do.
"The question arises what ought
we to do in the attempt TO repndiate
the compact? Shall we let few
town builders, real estate speculat-
ols, brewers and distillers tear down
the honor Of the state? Are we go
ing to disappoint the members OF the
states who took us in? What would
we think of other states If they re-
pudiated their compact. No other
state has eves done so and shall Ok
lahoma, the last and best, be the
first to lose her honor. Stainless
honor prizes the name Of good
state. -
Dr.. Scott closed with a strong ap-
peal for Oklahoma to keep her word
and then when the proper time
comes, in 1913, LET the people vote as
they think best. Next Sunday night
DR.. Scott will speak upon another OF
the topics of the hour The Creator
and the Comet
