SNOW HILL. MD, NOV. 5.
DEMOCRATIC TICKET
For Representative in the Sixty
Congress of the United States:
HON. J. HARRY CONVICTION.
OF Talbot County.
New York, New Jersey, In
diana, and Ohio are
Democratic.

When the returns came in from
the Pine Tree State showing a ire
mendous Democratic victory Re
publican Congressman George r.
Malby, Of New York, said The
result in Maine is the kind we may
have in other States ii the new ma
tionalism continues to be preached
by the man Just back from Africa.
OF course. Mr.. Malby had partic-
ularly III mind the State Of New
York when he made that statement.
The Lion Hunter, he went OH to
say, by his loose talk was re-
sponsible for the Maine result.
While it is not true that loose
talk by the Lion Hunter" turn
cd the tables in Maine, il is true
that the Lion Hunter has put the
finishing touches upon a complete
Republican disaster in New York
State. There is now no serious
question about the election OF John
A. Dix as Governor of New York.
The betrayal of the people on the
tariff revision, the high cost of liv-
ing, the policy OF privilege, all of
which figured essentially III the de-
feat Of theRepublican party in Maine
figure, just as prominently, in New
York. They constitute the UNDER
lying sentiment which spells Re
publican defeat. Since the Roose-
welt convention at Saratoga in which
the Lion Hunter shelved his
new nationalism in favor OF stand
pat platform he has been put down
as a tricky politician. That move
has increased the resentment his
loose talk originally occasioned
Thesupport given the splendid Dem
ocratic ticket by Harpers Weekly
and practically all the great Metro
politan newspapers, that heretofore
supported the Republican ticket
gives evidence OF making the sweep
a most complete one.
Reports from various sections OF
the State would indicate that a
Democratic Legislature will be car
ried in with the State ticket, and
at least, six additional congression-
al districts will be won. The Dem
ocrats will lose none OF the districts
they now hold.
Information from official and pri-
vate sources in Ohio clearly indi-
Gates the reelection of Governor
Harmon in that State. The Gov
ernor is making an exceptionally
effective campaign, and starting out
with safe lead, he has increased
it steadily. His majority should
be far i'll excess OF that of 1908. No
information is at hand to justify a
statement a. to the congressional
campaigns at this time although
there will be a very substantial
gain. If we were making a fore
cast, we should say, at least three,
and only Heaven knows how many
more. A very able correspondent
quotes an old Republican manager
in the Buckeye State as follows !:
If you can analyze the state of
mind of the Republican voters in
Ohio and accurately chart the cur
rents and cross-currents that are
effecting and crystallizing public
sentiment you will do more than
any of us have been able to do.
There is restlessness. uneasiness and
dissatisfaction among the voters of
the State. With some il is caused
by the high cost of living and dis
approval of the new tariff law.
With others it is feeling that the
time has come for a general house
cleaning. II the feeling of revolt
is as strong on election day as now
it will be clean sweep. The same
causes that brought about the over
turn in Maine-are operating here.
