CENTERVILLE, Nd. March 29-De-
claring that he had the names Of les
registered white voters of Talbot
county who had sold their votes for
$40 each in the last general election,
DR.. Charles II. Rose, of Talbot county
a member of the last Legislature,
created big stir here in addressing
a meeting in the interest Of woman
suffrage.
It was Dr. Rose who presented the
woman suffrage bill in the last Legis-
lature. He is n years of age, and in
the last Legislature was the only Re
publican member of the House OF
Delegates from the Eastern Shore.
Has Names, He Says.
Not only, declared DIR. Rose, did he
have the names of these vote sellers
Of his county, but he stated that
among the members Of the last Grand
Jury Of Talbot county he knew posi-.
lively that six Of them we're vote
buyers and two vote-sellers.
The remarks of DR.. Rose were made
before a crowded audience in Center
Vile, TO hear speeches made not only
by himself but by Miss Julia Il
Rogers, of Baltimore, vice-presideni
of the Just Government League oi
Maryland and Maryland's delegate tC

lance to be held in Stockholm
Sweden, in June; Miss Mamie Melbin
of Baltimore, secretary of the League
and her blind daughter, Miss MARY
Melbin, a junior in Goucher College
Baltimore. DR.. Rose was the only
male speaker.
Not Hearsay, He Contends.
In endeavoring to show that womeI
would use the right of suffrage to a
better advantage than men, DR.. RosC
said:
"Out of $50 registered white voters
in Talbot county | know of 125 who
sold their votes at the last general
election for SO each This is not
hearsay testimony, for I know this tC
be true. and l have the names IF the
vote-sellers.
Inc statement leli ike lnundef-
bolt on the audience. which hardly
recovered from its amazement, When
Dr. Rose continued: Il also know
that on the last Grand Jury in my
county there were six vote-buyers and
two vote-sellers. Are such men III
to exercise the right of suffrage?"
Gets Large Bouquet.
At the close of his address Dr. Ros,
was presented with a large bouque
by Mrs. Melbin. in honor of his sew
enty-seventh birthday and ON behal
Of the League, who wished him con
tinued health until the time when tn,
votes of women would send him 4
office.

siderably stirred by the charges 0

state leads the commonwealth of the
nation in healthfulness, according to
a statement issued, today, by the Uni
ted States Census Bureau. The north
western states death list in 1910, was
only 10 per 1000
The census bureaus figures were
based on a group of states where pop
ulation comprises SO percent of the
total of all the states, and gives
fairly accurate idea of the health of
the nation
According to the figures, the north
west is the healthiest part of the
country. New England states were
apparently the least healthful. New
Hampshire showed the highest death
rate of the nation-17.3 per thousand
in 1870 Maine and Rhode Island were
close seconds, each III. Connecticut
gave 1876 in 1910 as against IS in 1900.
New York 1871, compared with 1872.
The statement indicated that in
every case the mortality roll had de-
creased in the last 10 years.
tuberculosis claimed the most vic
tins, 5000 persons dying in 1910
from the white plague. Typhoid
caused 1858 deaths.
The national death rate has de-
creased steadily, from 1913 in 1880.
In 1900,> it was 17.6.
