pie lges to such legislation were
Inserted TO counteract the effect Of
the fraud charges in the late
primaries and are without hope Of
fuliillmenty
In 1909 the party committed itself
TO the creation Of a public utilities
bill. People will not readily forget
the dramatic incidents attendant
upon Mr.. Germans efforts to prevent
that pledge from being carried out.
Does bis attitude strengthen faith in
the sincerity Of the pre- ent platforms
Endorsement Of the act and Of it's
promise that the act shall be con-
timed in force without material
change? May we have confidence
that the imperial changes for which
scope is allowed shall tend 10 live
the Commission greater authority
Next, the plank calling for greater
economy in Legislative expenditure
The 1907 platform contained a
similar pledge. In the session Of
1908 Mr.. tiorman was floor leader
and chairman Of the Finance Conn
mittee. With fuI knowledge Of the
States fe.ources, he fought the
economists to a stsndstill and the
pledge was not fulfilled. In 1910
history repeated itself Mr.. German
vas then r. esident of the Senate
and chisf dispenser Of j,bs. In
response to an emphatic appeal from
Governor Crothers az d from the
press economy was promised. The
original appropriation for Legislative
expenses was $3.50 900 by January
9th Mr.. German already had IS
enrln, ees On the bopk-.

The month of September vii. show
a greater breath of government Of
iicers Of the highest rank in Wash
ington than any other month Of tie
calender year. Postmaster General
Hitchcock is making about the best
record for attending to business where
the law makes bis office, and much of
the month has been the only cabinet
cfIicer in Washington. The Post
master General is ambitious to
demonstrate anew the magnitude Of
department as a great business estab-
lishinent, and has been hard at work
on economic problems connected
with the department, and has devoted
much painstaking attention to the
important adventure into the postal
savings system, treatment Of which
will form considerable part Of his
forthcoming annual report. 1t is
aimed to embrace in the system as
repositories for savings all money
order Offices, of which there are now
little over $4,000 in the Uniied
States.
The Postmaster General has begun
designating postotiices of the third
class TO receive postal savings deposits
md the work will proceed until
completed al the rate Of 100 day
1t will take more than a year to gel
the system into complete operation.
Five vacancies in the House Of
Representatives, all caused by death,

VOTERS OF THE STATE WILL.
WAIT WITH OPEN EARS.


In letter 10 Senator German, re-
GREETING that professional engage
ments prevented his attendance al

gentleman Yf his nomination for
Governor by the Democratic party,
William l.. MAIbury writes;
81 trust that have no neei to
as ure you that your candidacy for
the Governorship will receive my
hearty aud unreserved support Al
some appropriate tine shall have
something to say to the voters of the
State, which trust may prove Of
service to you and to the Democratic
ticket generally.
The voters Of the State will be
interested to hear the soaething that
Mr.. Marbpry has to say so that they
mey compare and, il possible, recon-
ellie it with some such utierance as
this, for instance, INDUCED in when
Mr.. Marbury was opposing ME-
Germans nomination in the primary

own Judgment and his own idea Of
what is right. But il is not necessary
/ to 90 into the 1aes ion Of motives.
| am the last man to undertake to
be his Mr. Gorman'-l Judge.
Nevertheless, the fact remains and
i, i fact which stares tile Demo
cratic party of Mar, land il the face
that during the whole course Of
his Legislative career, and especially
during the last session Of the Legisla-
ture, Mr.. German found himself in
experimentation, persist snt and
relentless opposilion-to the enact
ment Of every m, asure to which the
party of this State had pied ged itself
in its successive platforms. And I,
nomi ate candidate with thar
lttpTu NOuii Dt lilt illtlSt rtulicitdouN
folly, tie most n pr.cslented folly,
Of hieh any olitical party has ever
been guilty IN this STATE.
But if Mr.. German is nominated,
IN spite Of all these thinys, | shall, OF
course, vote FIR him. But how
under the sun | would be able TO
truthfu'ly say anything in his behalf
which would 10 him any good is
beyond my conception at this time.
Don't--my acknowledgements,
regular Democrats aad organization
Democrats--don't put it out of the
p Dwer of men like myself to give. any
real help to the party in the approach
ing contest"
Naturally, there is curiosity to hear
what Mr.. Ma,bury and others who
talked in the same vein 40 short a
time since that the echo Of their
words has not died out have To say
in answer TO themselves.

DOES The DE nOcRATlC PLAT
FORM MEAN 0ORMAN'S REFOR-
7ATi0N?

"The Democratic p atform is fair
looking instrument. Iii progressive.
AlsJ it is an old, old friend. 1t first
appeared in 1907, wa. re.urrected in
1909; and ow, after another two
y. airs of sleep, comes to us once more,
brimful of promise Of progress.
1t is essentially a German platform
Hardly a pledge is contained in il
which cannot be traced either to Mr..
Germans refusal to permit the party
to redeem its pledges in the last two
sessions of the Legislature or to the
incomplete Legislation his OPPOSITE II
entailed. 1t contains hardly an in
iorsement of State legislation which
is not an Endorsement of measures
fought by German as leader Of the
reactionary forces. 1t would be in
tsresling to speculate on the form
tits platform of 1911 might have
taken had the old, perennial promises
been fulfilled and therefore become
unavoidable for use as planks. But
is there any likelihood of their being
fulfilled in the coming session under
Mr.. GormaT.'s leadership?
The platform consists to about the
half, Of pledges to strengthen the
primary election law and the corrupt
practices act. Can this be entrusted
to Mr.. Gormang
The 1907 platform contained a
clearly worded pied for a primary
law providing for nomination by
direct vote. Mr.. tiornan offered in
fultillment of it State primary and
Senatorial primary bill which fell far
shr of the pledge ard which were
openly condemned as not fulfilling the
paril's promises. The bills were
passed by subterfuge, against tn
opposi ion of Cover or trotherS. who
stood for keeping the promises.
The 1909 platform called again
for an efficient law In accordance
with it tie S,rans hill was intro
dueed. Mr.. German def .ated that
and it was only after fighting tooth
and nail that he was forced into ac-
eepting the Lee bill which supplant-
ed it and after Howard county had
been exempted f,om its provisions.
The fulfillme Mt of the pledge Of
1907 to enter a corrupt practices act
was opposed by Mr.. German; and
the promises contained in t. e present
platform To strengthen that act are
promises 10 cut out provisions which
were introduced to weaken it and
which Mr. German helped to g,t
passed.
In 1910 MIR. German Introduced a
bill the purpose of which was to give
Democratic supervisors Of election
