THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
COMING STATE ELECTION.

1t is not uncommon to hear it said in
campaign. that it is the most important
campaign that has ever been helde This
grows to a certain extent, out of the heat
Of the controversy. and the enthusiasm
Of a party conflict
The present State election in Mary
land. aside from the party conflict and
the consequent enthusiasm is an cleo
ton of great deal more than the
usual importance to the people of the
State, without regard to party.
In fact the election this fall in this
State. is of great and unusual interest
to our sister States, because OF the fact
that the result in this State will have an
influence in our sister States Of the
Union in the next Presidential election,
which will be held in the fall of 1912.
The relations of the State governments
to the national government are of such
a nature and SO close that any State
election may have an effect on the ma
tional government, as the national cleo
ton necessarily always has IFS influence
on the State elections.
Besides the relation of the State cleo
ton this fall in Maryland to the national

The Democratic Campaign Open
ed at Rockville.

The Democratic Campaign for the
State of Maryland was opened at Rock
Vile, Montgomery county, on Tuesday
last, the 10th inst. The meeting was
largely attended. Colonel Spencer c.
Jones called the meeting to order and
Senator Blair Lee, Mr.. Germans oppo-
nent in the primaries, was made presid-
| ing Of er.
In assuming the chair Senator Lee
said that ii was fitting that the first State
candidates to be nominated under the
new Primary Election Law, should open
their campaign IN the county where the
formation of the law was laid long ago.
He appealed to his Montgomery county
friends to do unto Mr. German as they
would have had Mr.. German and his
friends do had Mr.. Lee been nominated
He compared the platforms Of the two
parties, characterizing that of the Re-
publicans as a series of generalities and
that of the Democrats as an instrument
Of specific promises.
Senator German made a strong
speech. After contrasting the manner
in which the Republican and Demo
cratic candidates were nominated, charg-
ing that Mr.. Goldsborough's nomina-
ton was dictated by a few Baltimore
Office holders, while that of the Demo-
cratic candidate was made by the great
mass Of Democratic voters, and then he
referred to the fraud developments in
Baltimore City, He spoke of the stu
alton in Baltimore City, ''as deplorable, "
and declared that ''if | am not honestly
nominated ! do not want the position
OF Governor" He said that if he could
make himself believe that there was the
slightest faint on the manner OF his NOM
ination he would at once send his reSg-
nation to the State Central Committee
of his party He said. however, that
he did not believe sufficient fraud would
be developed to reflect upon the validity
of the nomination of the State candidates.
Representative Lewis spoke verv
briefly. He told the gathering that in
serving in the State Senate with Senator
German he had discovered that Senator
German was man of his word, and
that when he promised to carry out the
pledges of the platform he could be de-
pended upon to be absolutely true to his
word
The speakers were State Senator Cor
man, candidate for Governor; Edgar
Allen Poe, candidate for Attorney-Gen
eral; Emerson c. Harrington, candidate
for State Comptroller; Representative
David / Lewis and Senator Blair Lee
The Kings Valley Band furnished the
music. Many from Frederick county
attended the meeting.
Following the meeting Senator Cor
man and the other candidates went to
Wheaton where,a picnic was in progress,
and mingled with the crowd and made
briet addresses. They later automobiled
to Senator Gorman's home in Howard
county.

A Representative and Deliberate
House.

In the September issue Of Tie Editor
iaL Re7TeaO, Congressman David J. Lewis
of this district, has an article on "A Rep
resentative and Deliberate House" AS
will be recalled, when the question of a
reapportionment of the representation for
the House of Representatives came up,
Mr.. Lewis took quite an active interest in
the matter. He made study of the rep
resentation allowed by other countries in
the popular branch Of the legislative de-
partment of government. In America
there is one representative for every 2II.-
ST. of population. In all the other lead
ing countries the representation ranges
from representive for every IS, 600 up
to about $4,000 inhabitants, excepting
Germany, where the ratio is one 10 1856,
$40.
Mr.. Lewis discusses in his article the
desirabiity of having representative
and also delberative body, in the lower
house, and suggests that this is best pre-
served by keeping the middle of the road.
