The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1910-10-20
For Congress, Sixth Congressional
District.
BRAINARD H. WARNER, JR.,
OF Montgomery County.
NOT DISCOURAGED

The Baltimore Sun follows up its one
sided arguments sent down to it by a
staff correspondent who paid flying
visit here and who afterverv superficial
observation cast an unanimous vote for
Lewis, the Democratic candidate, at
the same time predicting defeat for
Warner, the Republican nominee, by
the assertion, made editor;ally yester-
day, that the Republicans are discour-
aged in the Sixth District.
This theory for it is only such, is so
gauzy that it hardly needs controver-
ton; so baseless, that it will float away
into nothingness without recourse to eX-
tended argument, for harmony and
combined purpose looking towards as
sured success has strengthened the Re
publicans in the Sixth Maryland District
as never before, when with wrangles
and dissensions being waged among GER
tain factions-now dissolved mutually
the Republicans still carried the district
regularly as clockwork, so much so,
that the Sixth Congressional District of
Maryland became known, as it is today,
as the Gibraltar of Maryland Republi-
cans. Ten weeks ago, the Sun might
have argued, Democratic expectations
were based upon the belief that there
might have been irreparable dissension
in the Republican party in the Sixth
which might have led to a certain form
of encouragement, as has been the
case in other states over issues on which
party sentiment was more or less divi-
ded. But all this was endedIwith the
nomination of Warner candidate who
, ho~ lawn to him every section-every

the Sixth District Republicans, who,
far from being discouraged at the out
look, have the utmost confidence in the
election of their candidate. They view
the outcome of the election with equa-
namity because they know that in Mr..
Warner they have nominated a man
who is Individually strong as well as
politically, and in endorsing him, in
working for him shoulder to shoulder
they can afford to ignore the theory Of
a political organ whlchls never without
a reason for the faith that is in it, even
though it be shadowy reason such as
the one used by the Sun to base ITS ar
guments- disbursement in the Repub-
lican ranks.
If the Sun can properly and consistent
" point out any reason for discourage
ment in the Republican ranks Of the
Sixth District, we will give it due con
sideration. The Republicans are UNI
ted and entirely satisfied with then
candidate Brainard II. Warner, Jr.
The Sixth District, represented IN Con
gress for Two decades by Republicans,
is popuIous and prosperous. With the
exception Of lsS2 and 1892, when tbs
Democrats elected W. VI. Nchag, the
district has been surely Republican by

now then is there any reason for dis
enlargement? Where or upon what
can the Democrats place their clam:
for victory for their party
The Sun bases some OF its claims on
'discouragement upon the alasau@
faction Of the people here because q
the increased cost Of living, Inoa
who are to DO the deciding av>t month
at the election the Folers-are every
where alive to The hypocrisy and hum
buggery OF the ''tariii-Ior-reTcaua-ony
preachment Of the compaign literature
which is to5tered by the Sun and th
