NEGROES IN CAMPAIGN
Organized Into Committee To Work
For Republican Ticket.
WOMEN TAKE ACTIVE PART.
DR.. Lyon COlored Former U. S. Minis
ter Will Lead Fight On Digges
Amendment.

baltimore Sun, Thursday, Get. &c. }
For the first time in the political
history of Maryland, the negro women
of the city have been organized into
a campaign committee for the purpose
of working for the success of the Re
publican ticket.
With DR.. Ernest Lyon, colored, for
mer Minister to Liberia, as chairman,
the Auxiliary Republican Commit
tee" has been organized. with head
quarters at Ala West Hoffman street.
Associated with this committee is
the Anti--Digges Amendment League,
composed of several hundred negro
women, and of which the mother of
City Councilman Harry S. Cummings,
colored, is president
DR.. Lyon, in speaking of the work
being done by both the negro men
and women, said last night:
"We are much interested in the
defeat of the Digges amendment,
which proposes to take away our suf-
frage rights. The Republican clndi-
dates are opposed to this amend nent
and we are supporting them. " are
holding meetings and distributirg lit
erature and asking our peol to
arouse themselves. We are advising
them not to listen to any trio sters.
The ladies are organized and are do
ing much missionary work. They will
visit the homes of the voters of our
race and impress upon the men the
necessity of voting. We believe that
any reference to the negro question
as an issue in this campaign is un-
fair. We are progressive and law
abiding people and should not be used
as an issue. The ladies have already
held several meetings and are much
interested in this fight.
'Are they in favor of women
suffrage?" DR.. Lyon was asked.
"We have not considered the ques-
tion of votes for women yet" he re-
piled, "and to do so would be to OBJ
secure the real issue. While we are
trying to prevent the negroes from
staying away from the polls on cleo
tion day, we do not believe that they
did remain away at the city election,
and we think a recount of the votes
cast in that election will show it. We
are doing all in our power to awaken
interest among our people and expect
heavy vote this time"
The white Republican organization
managers have generally attributed
the defeat of Mr.. Timanus last spring
to the failure of the negroes to vote.
This time they are making every
effort possible to get the full negro
vote to the polls. and while the Dem
ocrats concede the defeat Of the
suffrage amendment and are making
no fight for it, Republican politicians
are using its presence on the ticket as
a means of arousing the negroes.
The plans for the latter, il is said.
include the formation of squads Of col
ored women. who will 20 through the
negro settlements aud arouse interest
among the negro men in the fight.
Republican white leaders feel that in
the last few campaigns there has
been consider able lukewarmness
among the negroes. and they are de-
termined to leave no stone unturned
to correct this condition in this cam
paign.

Tomorrow will be All Saints Day.
There will be two services in st.

burning. With great effort it was ex
tinguished. Had the fire obtained
little more headway with the then
scant supply of water, the State House
could not have been saved.
This was an object lesson to the
Legislature and under its inspiration
they promptly authorized the State
subscription to the stock it is now
proposed to sell. The State is as
much or more interested in the w ater
Company now than then and as i
say, could better afford to give it
to the city than to sell to others at
whose mercy it would be in the mat
ter of water supply and the cost
of the same.
l am glad to learn that the Mayor
and City Council have taken up the
matter and are pushing it with vigor.
l hope there will be no let-up until
the city has control of this stock. 1t
is too important a matter to be ne
elected.

THE WATER QUESTION.
The Sale OF States Interest In The

The occasions to which / refer are
these. During the administration of
Governor Lowndes very disinterest-
sd SET of gentlemen urged the sale of
the stock. they being earnestly willing
70 take this heavy burden off the
states shoulders and buy the stock,
lgf when the case was properly pre-
santed to the Governor by DR.. Gordon
Claude and others, he promptly said
No and so we were saved from the
grasp Of those entirely disinterested
and public-spirited citizens, who could
have still further increased our water
rents and we would have had no re-
dress
During Governor Smiths admins
tration there was general complaint
Of the high price Of water and of the
heavy dividends the company was de-
daring In this case, too, the facts
were stated to his Excellency by DR..
Claude and the Governor said he would
insist that not more than a per cent.
annual dividend should be declared
and that the water rents must be
cut down in like proportion.

in our water AMI fire departments than
anyone else. and should take that into

mt TAKE REST
IN LOR|MER QUIZ
Six Weeks Recess in Sight With
in 10 Days.
NEXT SESSION IN CHICAGO
Many More Witnesses, Including Most
of the 1909 Illinois Legislature,
Are Still to Be
Heard.

Washington.-A recess of sly weeks
will be taken by the Investigating
committee probing into the election of
William Lorimer to the United States
senate within another week or ten
days.
Scores of witnesses remain to be
heard and in all likelihood the hear
ings in the fall will last for several
weeks. Practically every person
whose name has been mentioned dur
ing the inquiry will be suppoenaed.
Members Of the committee are deter
mined to make a thorough job of the
investigation and do not intend to give
anybody an opportunity to criticize
them for failing to do this or that.
The committee has not abandoned
its plan to summon the larger part
of the membership of the 1909 Illinois
legislature. If this is done the hear,
ings may not have been completed
when congress convenes in December
The senate will not be able to pass
on the committees report much be-
fore January or February.
Among the witnesses to be called
this week is James H. Harper of Du
luth.
Former Representative Charles A
White will follow Mr. Harper and
probably will be kept on the stand
for three days or more. He will re-
peat his story of having received
$1,000 for his Lorimer vote and an ad
ditional $500 as his share of the Jack
pot"
Representative Robert E. Wilson
who was named by Mr. White as the
distributor of the Jackpot money, will
be examined Immediately after White
has told his story.

MOROCCAN CRISIS is NEAR enc
Britons Believe Germany Is Preparing
to Withdraw,

London.-The Moroccan crisis is
practically ended. At least this is the
opiniCl of the English public, although
the foreign Office is careful to point
out that the negotiations are not sim
pie and may drag on for months.
Germany, according to the English
view, has made bluff, which is being
promptly called, and she is now pre-
pairing to withdraw.
In discussing the crisis, however,
even serious-minded Britishers are in
variably of the opinion that 1t would
be far better for England If war with
Germany should come now than later,
as seems probable, when the German
navy will have been strengthened.
They also feel England would bet
ter come to blows with Germany over
Morocco, or some question in which
France is directly interested, than on
a question in which England and Ger
many only are concerned. In the for
mer case England would be assured
of the assistance of France, while in
the latter France might without dis
honor offer sympathy, but stand aside
when it came to a fight.

BIG RECIPROcITrfIGHN
is BEGUN IN CA4
Prime Minister Asks Endorsement Y
People for Pact With United
States at Next Election.

Ottawa, Ont.-Following the disco
luton of parliament Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the premier and Liberal
leader, and r. L. Borden, the leader
of the opposition, have issued state
ments which open up the biggest po'
litical fight in Canada's history. The
Endorsement or rejection of reciproc-
ity is asked for at the election sci
for September Fl. next.
The question at issue is not new
one, Sir Wifrid asserts, reciprocal re-
iations with the United States having
been sought by both parties for over
half a century. The present ConserV'
alive party. he declared. is seeking to
reverse this lifelong policy of its
leaders of the past,
The enactment of the agreement
the premier predicts, would improve
the friendly relations existing be-
tween Great Britain, Canada and the
United States, and would be an i'm
portant factor in bringing about
general treaty of arbitration.
After referring to the history OF
various attempts by all political par
ties in Canada to get reciprocity, Sir
Wilfrid continues:
The present agreement between
the United States and Canada was
fought in the United States. but the
view that 1t was mutually advanta-
geous to both countries finally pre-
vailed in congress. and the agreement
stands today as an offer by the Unit
ed States to Canada Of that very
measure Of reciprocity which for
more than forty years has engaged
the earnest and constant efforts OF
every leading Canadian statesman.
The address declares there Is nc
warrant for the claim that re ciprocity
will lead to annexation, and states
Canada will continue the policy OF
British preference.
r. L. Borden in his statement says:
The Conservative party welcomes
an appeal upon reciprocity. The res
ident of the United States has more
than once emphasized the fact that
Canada is today at the parting of the
ways These two ways lead In dl'
vergent directions. The choice of the
people will be fought with momentous
consequences to the future destiny OF
the country 1t is right and just that
they should speak because with them
rests the ultimate decision"
