On Threshold Of Victory.

The primaries. therefore. were the open
ing guns in the battle which Gov. Croth-
ers proposes to wage for control In both
city and state. Ever since the closing
hours OF the last legislature the governor
has been playing good politics, and he
may be said today TO be on the threshold
of capturing the city and state control.
In the counties. except those mentioned
above, he rs the one big, dominant factor.
and II will take a politician OF larger
caliber than looms on the horizon today
10 prevent Crothers from becoming the
state boss. The governor has been In the
political game all his life and has had
many story battles in his home county,
Cecil, but he has always been able TO
come out victorious.
Gov. Crothers chose an opportune time
TO make a try-out in the city. because
Mahon was sorely handicapped by the
trend OF recent events. His closest and most
weeks ago was indicted by the grand
jury on the charge of attempting to bride
a city councilman: another Mahon ad-
herent. City Councilman j. III. c. Hoff-
mann, was indicted on the same charge,
while Mahon's son-in-law, George Nc
Rae. Is charged with embezxling city
funds. Since these disclosures Mahon
had Kept out of the limelight. and had
stated that he was hands or I'm the
primary fight. And he was, to all out
ward appearance. Old observers Of the
political game. however, saw that Mahon.
hands on" was pulling the wires for
KONG and Preston in the primary. II
was also noticed that some of the most
prominent Mahon workers i'm the city
were behind Linthicum. The boss tried
10 switch some of these former henchmen
behind Preston. but they f1atly refused to
have cast their fortunes with the Croth-
ers end OF the game.

IL any evidence was needed that there
were forces contending for supremacy
In city politics IL was furnished by the
attitude OF Police Justice Laden, who Is
also chairman of the democratic state
central committee for Baltimore city
From the opening day OF the campaign
Laden gave out the information that he
was hands or but three weeks ago,
at the Concord Club, OF which he is the
president, he roade an address to the pre-
cinct executives in which he stated that
he was hands off, but nevertheless left
the impression in the minds OF his hear
ers that they should get behind Linthi-
cum. That Ladens precinct workers un-
derstood what he meant at the Concord
Club Is shown by the fact that Linthicum
carried the nineteenth ward U.aden's
own by AIS votes over Preston and a ma
jority over all other candidates OF rs
one of Ladens closest friends is John
j. Murn. the executive of the eighteenth
Ward, and the four precincts Of this ward
save Linthicum 300, while the combined
amounted 10 only 1875.
There Is report current In political
circles that when Crothers succeeds in un-
horsing Mahon he will place the mantle
OF city boss upon the shoulders Of Laden,
and IL Is said that this plum dangling be-
fore his eyes kept Laden under cover
during the campaign Laden enjoys the
reputation OF being something Of a jump
er. Soon after Mayor Hayes took the
oath Of Office in 1880 Laden had a fight
with Hiram G.. Dudley for control OF the
nineteenth ward and Laden won out He
then took position in one of the munic-
ipal bureaus and became a member OF the
Kitchen cabinet" OF Mayor Hayes At
that time Hayes was fighting tooth and
nail against /. Freeman Rasin, then the
city boss. and Laden was admitted to all
the conferences held by Hayes and his
advisers. The Hayes people soon became
aware that Rasin was n touch with all
their plans and knew just what was go
ing on In the HayVs camp. Laden was
suspected Of being the leak. and after a
little quiet Investigation he was forced
cut OF his position at the city hall and
later became a police ma gistrate. He
remained an out-and-out Rasin man until
the death OF the boss several years ago,
when he came In under the Mahon ban

BALTIMORE, Md, September 4. 1910.
The smoke of battle In the primaries
OF the past week has blown away and
victor and vanquished alike are resting.
During the campaign a great deal Of bit
terness was engendered among the fol-
lowers OF the several democratic aspir-
ants in the third, fourth and fifth dis
tricts. and good percentage Of this Bit
terness is likely to be carried to the
polls in November.
In the third and fourth districts the
fight was between the forces of Gov.
Crothers, on one hand. and those Of
John j. Mahon, the accredited city leader,
on the other. The Crothers adherents
lined up behind Young in the third and
Linthicum in the fourth, while Mahons
Neutenants backed KONG in the third
and Preston in the fourth. In the fifth
Senator German. who backed Ray. and
The result In the two city districts was
q victory for Mr. CrotAers, because Lin
thicum won out by a handsome plurality,
while KONG had only trifle over 3D
plurality, the governors candidate
Young, running a close second to the
Mahon entry. In the fifth district Cor
man had all the best OF the fight, Ray
defeating Crothers' candidate. Stanley,
by over 5000 ma jority. And the result
shows that in Prince George. Howard,
Charles and Calvert counties the old
German organization leaders are still In
the saddle.

June IA, 1777, the Continental
Congress passed the resolution
that the flag of the United States
be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the Union be th1r-
teen white stars in a blue field, rep
resenting new constellation"
Old Glory has led our armies to
all their victories. It has Hoated
over them in the Revolutionary War;
the War of 1912; the Mexican War;
the Civil War and the Spanish
American War.
Our ensign was raised over Alas
ka, November 8, 1867; and since
1898 it has been floating over the
Philippines, Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian Islands.
The flag symbolizes so much to
every one on American soil that it
should be forever before our eyes,
and the children should be taught
to revere it as sacred thing.
They should be told of the valiant
deeds of the Revolutionary heroes,
written on every Sun-kiSSed fold; OF
the days of toll and privation, of
sickness and wounds, blOodShed
and carnage, which are behind the
wind-tossed stripes; of loved ones
in the stormy days of the Civil War
who went out in the strength of
young manhood, full of hope and
loyalty; of the man who returned
broken in health and body, or of
the many more who laid down their
lives willing sacrifice on the altar
of their country, saying, 1T is
sweet to die for ones country"
All this, and more, can be read
in each radiant star. Tell it to the
children, mothers and teachers, that
they may SO love the flag and all it
symbolized that no dishonor can
ever come TO it, and the day will
soon dawn when "Old Glory" shall
float over every school house, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
the northern boundary of Alaska to
our southernmost possessions
