POLITICIANS CLAIMS
Concerning Complexion OF the Next
House,

The political complexion Of the next
House of Representatives IS a matter
of much conjecture nowadays. Accord
ing to the Republican leaders ''the en-
thusjasm of the Democrats which led
them to claim the next House by ma
iorities which ranged from % to 100,
has run its natural course. The Demo-
cratic party for the past % years al
ways carried this country about the
middle of August But unhappily for
the party, the elections are not held in
August, but on the firstjTuesdaY after
the first Monday in November, and
Democratic victory recedes with even
greater haste than do the days follow
ing each other from tina middle of Aug
gust to election day in November. The
Democrats always carry the country in
August. The Republicans always
carry it in November. Therin lies the
difference"
Colonel Roosevelt will shortly issue a
statement calling upon Republicans
everywhere to eschew qualifying adj
jectives and to vote the ticket.
The Democratic campaign in New
York, it is said by men whoyare in
touch with the New York situation,
viii be made wholly upon the issue of
Roosevelt and the outcome viii deter
mine, they think, Roosevelt's political
future. If, under the circumstances,
he can elect the Republican ticket this
year it will firmly intrench him as the
Republican boss Of the State and viii
mean that the Y votes of New York in
the Republican National Convention of
1912 will be his to do with as he pleases.
That the New York delegation in al
most any convention would come. pretty
close to holding the balance of power is
conceded. Hence, it is claimed, If
Roosevelt wins his fight this fall, it will
be wholly in his power to bring about
his nomination two years hence.

LEG BROKEN BY RUNAWAY.
Alfred Broadwater DraS9e Four Hun
dred Yards Under Overturned Wagon.

Last Thursday Mr.. Alfred Broadwa-
tel, who resides in this county just west
of Homecoming, had remarkable escape
from horrible death, but as it trans
pired he got off with broken leg and
dislocated shoulder and number of
severe bruises.
Mr.. Broadwaterswas driving along the
road when he lost control of his team of
young colts and they ran away. The
wagon was overturned, throwing Mr..
Broadwater beneath it and in this posi-
ton he was dragged over the stony road
for distance of possibly four hundred
yards. He was wedged under the body
of the vehicle IN such position that he
was unable to either extricate or help
himself in any particular. The horses
eventually stopped and Mr.. Broadwater
was rescued from his perilous position
by number of men who were passing
at the time and who took the man home
where he was attended by physician.

B. & O. IMPROVEMENTS
Water Being PQmped and Hauled
From Deer ParK.

Some of the gentlemen composing the
delegation of business men who called
upon President Willard, OF the Balti-
more and Ohio last spring urging ad-
ditional movement of increasing freight
have recently expressed themselves as
gratified with the work of development
now going on between Grafton, w. Va,
and Cumberland, Nd. Sprigg Camden,
of Parkersburg, W. Va, was at Deer
Park few days ago on the way to
Baltimore for a conference with Mr..
Willard. He is very much pleased.
Day and night, regardless of the day
of the week or weather conditions the
task of laying third track on the side
OF the mountain on the 17-mile grade,
has been going on all summer, and con-
sidering that this is work of great
magnitude, extraordinary progress has
been made. The business of the com
pany at present is so extensive that
fourth track on the grade in question
from Altamont, three miles from Deer
Park, down to Piedmont, could be
easily utilized. Never in the history
of the company has there been such a
steadily increasing volume Of freight,
particularly of coal, passing eastward.
New engines and new equipment in the
shape Of steel freight cars, are beirg
received and at once placed in action,
and yet there is need for more
On the slight grade from Deer Park
to Altamont, two big engines are need
ed to move freight, and with in addi-
ton, big helper engine pushing be-
hind. This movement of traffic goes
on steadily day and night, and Sundays.
With all this business the drouth of the
late summer has necessitated the haul
ing Of water long distance, ponderous
oil tank trains being used to carry
water for steam making purposes.
Carrying Goals to Newcastle, " is ex-
emplitied in hauling water to points on
the line of road close to the Cheat River
in West Virginia, the explanation being
that the water of Cheat River is not at
all suitable for the making of steam in
engines. To help matters somewhat in
this direction, large force was en-
gagged on Sunday in laying a spur track
at Deer Park to the Little Yough River
so that water can be pumped into the
| tank cars direct from the stream

GOOD ROADS WANTED BY
GARRETT FOUNTAINS.
Meeting Held at Popes School House
and Resolutions Adopted.

A number of Frostburgers accepted
an invitation to attend the Garrett coun-
ty meeting at Pope's school house Tues
day afternoon.
The statement has been made that
1928, 600 allotted to Garrett county by
the State, $3.50, 900 had been spent all
in the vicinity of Oakland on county
not state roads, and upon this the adj
dresses were generally predicated.
Thomas Layman called the meeting
to order; II. S. Coleman was elected
chairman and Thomas j. johnson sec
rotary.
G. Clinton Uhl, of Mt. Savage, a
Road Director of this county, first call
ed upon, very properly disclaiming his
presence as an interference with Gar
rett county affairs, gave some instruct
i've hints as to rebuilding the Pike
cheaply.
Ohio S. Fike, county commissioner,
was no less entertaining.
Brief but strong addresses by Thomas
j, Johnson. Thomas Layman, DR.. T.
Griffith, w. E. G. Hitchins. Frank
Watts, Peter Lammert and others fol-
lowed.
The result was the appointment of a
Committee on Resolutions - Messrs.
Thomas Layman, David Pope, B. f.
Michael, James Carey, F. C. Graham,
Ohio S. Fike, ard Thomas J. Johnson.
The following hastily written, were
then unanimously adopted.
RESOLVED. That the Governor and
the State Road Commission be urged to
Withhold all further appropr iations for
improvement of roads IN Garrett coun-
ty until the necessary reconstruction of
the National Pike be completed as con-
templated, we believe, by the law orig
ginally and popularity understood as
providing first, for the improvement of
through highways.
RESOLVED, That the State Roads
/ Commission be requested to solicit bids
IoF tne reconstruction OF not less than
five miles of continuous road westward
on National Pike, beginning at the
AlleganY Garrett line.
RESOLVED, further, That this meet
| ing learns that six miles of road near
( Oakland has been completed six miles
under construction, and a request is
pending for six miles more-eighteen
miles in all, a concentration of State
money in one section which we feel is
unfair and unjust to the people of this
county.
Messrs. d. NJ. Dixon and Ohio S.
Fike- county commissioners, c. j.
Hershberger, U. NJ. Stanton, and
Thomas J. Johnson were later appoint
ed committee to convey resolutions to

verting a deficit into a surplus, and,
unlike the last Democratic tariff law,
which blasted industry, closed mills ard
factories and threw thousands Of wage
earners out of employment, the new
law has given renewed impetus to in
dustry, employment to labor at renun-
erative wages, and to the agriculturist
the greatest prosperity known in years.
owe heartily approve the wise and
far-seeing decision ofathis administra-
ton that, in amending our tariff law
hereafter the attention Of the Congress
and Of public opinion shall be concen-
trated upon one schedule at one time,
and that all changes shall be made in
the light of trustworthy information
furnished by permanent and disinter-
ested commission of public experts, and
we applaud the energy and perslstency
of President Taft in seeking, and his
success in securing appropriate legisla-
ton to give practical effect to this salu-
tary determination.
1--WE are in hearty sympathy with
the great moral awakening of the peo-
Pile, under the inspiring leadership of
men like William Howard Taft, Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Charles E. Hughes
in demanding the very highest integrity
in public life as being essential to the
perpetuity of the liberties of the peo-
pie. We insist upon the high standard
of official conduct as vital to the well
fare of our own state, as well as the
nation.
The unfortunate plight of some of
our cities and state where exist bribery
and corruption, govermentalinelficiency
in public affairs, attempts to override
organic law, extravaganza and increas-
ing taxes stand out in bold contrast to
that high standard of civic righteous
ness for which all right thinking men
are today earnestly striving.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
TAKE 4 FIRM STAND
Principles Upon Which Nominees for
Congress Appeal 10 Voters.

The six Republican candidates for
Congress in Maryland have issued the
platform upon which they will appeal to
voters at the coming election. 1t is a
strong document and clearly defines
Republicanideas on.queshons of the day.
At the outstart the several candidates
pledge themselves, if elected, ''to aid
the President in securing a complete
fulfllment of every promise expressed
and implied, in our last national plat
form"
The candidates also declare them
selves in favor of the following issues:
Conservation of ournational resources.
Effective federal supervision of inter-
state and foreign commerce.
Revision of the tariff in accordance
with recommendations by a permanent
tariff commission.
Highest integrity in public life.
A reference to state issues is contain
ed in the following closing sentence of
the platform:
THE unfortunate plight of some Of
our cities and states where exist bribery
and corruption, governmental ineifici-
ency in public affairs, attempts to over
ride governmental law, extravaganza
and increasing taxes, stand out in bold
contrast to that high standard of civic
righteousness for which all right think
ing men are today earnestly striving "
The platform in detail follows:
The Republican candidates for repre-
sentatives from Maryland in the Sixty
second Congress of the United States
reaffirm their loyalty to the principles
of the Republican party embodied in its
platform of 1908, and indorsed by the
people in the election of President Taft
and if elected we pledge our effort in
the coming Congress to aid our Presi-
dent in securing a complete fulfillment
of every promise, expressed or implied,
in our last national platform.
I'VE favor the conservation of our
natural resources for development under
such regulations and by such means as
may best assure the use of the country s
wealth for the country's good
1--WE favor the effective supervision
| by the federal government of inter
state and foreign commerce as safe
guard against the dangers of monopoly
and to protect the commercial liberties
of the people, thus preserving their
commercial equality.
THE new tariff law was enacted
without upsetting business. Rates OF
duty on some articles of luxury were
increased and on common food products
and necessities of life were either I'M

Owing to the fact that all the fami-
lies are not home from vacation as yet

night next week, when another meeting
