TUESDAYS ELECTION.

For the second time since the
Civil War Maryland has elected
a Republican Governor, Philips
Lee Goldsborough winning over
Arthur P. German by plurality
estimated at 3, 438.
So far as the State is concern
ed, the remaining fruits of vic
tory go to the Democracy. 1t
elects it's Attorney-General-
Edgar Allan Poe-and its Comp
troller-Emerson G. Harrington
thus retaining control of the
Board of Public Works. 1t has
the State Senate and the House
of Delegates, so that on joint
ballot it will control the General
Assembly, which means the
election of a Democratic State
Treasurer.
In the new Legislature, accord
ing to the latest figures, there
will be 79 Democrats and so Re-
publicans. The Senate will stand
19 Democrats, s Republicans; the
House 60 Democrats and 40 Re-
publicans.
Thus, the State Government,
for two years anyhow, and pro-
ably for four, will be divided be-
tween the two parties, the execu-
tive branch being in control of on
and the legislative branch in the
hands of the other.
The loss of the head of the
ticket is a hard blow to Democrats
with the real interests of the
party at heart, particularly to
those in the counties, where the
power of a Republican Governor,
with the inevitable changes in the
boards of school commissioners
and election supervisors, is a
matter of vital moment.

the several departments of agricultural
science in the world.
Among those who have been definite

Secretary of Agriculture; w. M. Hays,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture;
Willis L. Moore, Chef of the United
States Weather Bureau; Ii. A. Huston.
former Director of the Indiana Expert

other man in the world; DR.. Ernest
Secretary T. B. Symons, of State
Horticultural Association, says there
are enough products of Maryland soil
| already in cold storage to fill the
available floor space in the big Fifth
Regiment Armory Building.
Each afternoon an expert packer
from the Hood River Valley, of Oregon,
| will give demonstrations in methods of
handling and packing apples and other
fruits. The fruit exhibit, as well as
corn exhibit, will be the largest ever
shown in Maryland.
Several hundred boys of Maryland
are entered in contest to show the
largest product for valuable prize.
Students of the State College are
making ornamental stands to hold the
SO or more beautiful silver cups offered
as premiums, and one of the cups will
stand in the midst of a competitive ex-
hibit.
There will be 600 feet of tables for
the display of fruit The moving
pictures, and night entertainments

governors of southern and western
State who will visit the exposition
during Maryland Week, incidental to
the conference of Railroad Presidents,
Governors and heads of southern com

Executive veto.
Here are two coordinate
branches of the Government, one
Republican and one Democratic.
The Governor will have an op-
portunity to recommend salutary
laws to the Legislature and
the Legislature Will h a We
the opportunity to enact good
laws. There should be no con-
troversy in thus serving the
State. If there is any attempt
by the Legislature to play politics
by thwarting the Governor
when he undertakes to do what
is right, it will discredit the
Democratic party and strength
en- the Republican party.
Honesty in politics as in business
in the best policy, and the way
for the Legislature to play good
politics is to pursue the straight
course and do it's duty,
The Democratic party in the
State will look to the Democratic
Legislature to reinstate it in
public confidence.
We repeat: Maryland is still
a Democratic State, but the
Democratic party does not belong
to any machine in city or State,
and it has served notice, once
and for all, that it will not have
the city bosses to rule over it. =

THE MEANING OF TUESDAYS
STATE ELECTION.

The people of Maryland will,
of course, accept the verdict rem
dered in Tuesdays election with
submission and good courage.
This State is still a Democratic
State, and the result Of the cleo
tion is not only a rebuke to the
Democratic organization but a
warning to the Republican man
ayers.
The election serves notice upon
the Democratic city organization
that the Democratic party will
not accept its dictation and lead
ership. This is true of the
Democratic party in city and
counties. The people will not
be content to let any one boss or
any three bosses select their can
didates for them. No matter
how good the selection may be.
the people will not stand for it.
The support of the city organiza-
tion was a handicap for Mr.. Cor
man and caused his defeat. The
purpose of party organization
is to elect candidates and not to
select them. AS long as the city
organization assumes this latter
function the people will resent it
at the polls.
So much for what is past, and
now for the future.
Mr.. Goldsborough has been
elected Governor Of Maryland,
but only by Democratic aid,
active or passive. There were
not enough Republicans in the
State to elect him. Many Demo-
Gratis either voted for him or re-
fused to vote against him and he
has been elected. He is also a
man of good sense and discern
ment and he will recognize the
fact that the conditions under
which he was elected make him
the Governor of the whole peo-
pie, and not merely of the Repub-
lican party. He and his party
are both on trial and they must
be on their good behavior. Mr..
Goldsborough has an opportunity
to justify himself with the peo-
pie and justify the people in
trusting him. If he does not do
this, if he misuses his Office for
partisan purposes, if he does not
measure up to his opportunities,
it will mean that after his brief
term of Office is ended his party
will be doomed to another period
of wandering in the wilderness.
In electing a Republican Cover
nor Maryland has not relieved
the Democratic party of response
bility. 1t has continued the
lawmaking power in Democratic
control. Both houses of the
Legislature are Democratic, but
the party will not have enough
votes in the House to override an

FOR COUNTRYWIDE EFFORT
Foes Of tuberculosis Have Plan %
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 80 has been set aside this year
as Tuberculosis Day" and will be OBJ
served In 100000 churches in the
country in manner similar to that
Of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910.
when 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention Of tuberculosis. In
the drst oflcial announcement Of the
occasion. made by the National sAsso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis, the leaders Of the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all Of the $4,000, 900 church mem
bers in the country.
In one respect Tuberculosis day will
differ from Tuberculosis Sunday OF
1910. Instead OF requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause special Sunday service, the
Aational association is going to ask
this year that meetings at which the
subject OF tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday. April 80. or on any other day
near that date. either In the week
preceding or the week following.
What we want" says Mr.. Living
ston Farrand, executive secretary OF
the National Association for the Study
report ON this movement, "is to have
this whole subject Of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all Of the 100000 churches
Of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible"

In recent statement President VIII.

The situation a. 1t, occurs to me is
that a majority Of the. people of the
United States have deemed 1t wise to
change from the Republican party to
the Democratic party. This being the
wish Of the majority Of the people Of

the transfer must be a safe one, as 1t
is backed by the people. There are
wealthy Democrats as well as Repub-
licans. men with large industrial inter
ests, who are not going to have their
interests sacrificed.
For the last Ave years under Re.

been almost ignored; and there ap-

Whether the ultimate limit OF the
"refundings" 0f stolen money by the
sugar trust proves to be IS. 900 900 or

and during his service in the senate
had been a powerful factor In the
framing of legislation, especially that
dealing with the railroads and the
tariff. The landslide which restored
the Mountain state to the Democratic
column had already made certain the
retirement OF the other Republican
senator. Nathan Bay Scott. and the
Republicans there now find themselves
doubly stricken by the assurance OF
the election Of another Democrat in
place of Senator Elkins.

The Democratic party. as a party, is
now being appealed to. both north and
south, by all the special interests. II
the tarin grip on the Republican party
were definitely broken there would be
far more attraction to powerful preda-

One cannot tell what force is going

story may be told. or pretty we'll fore
told. by the conventions and the gen.
eral political movement of 1912. That
party has great opportunity, as
shown In the elections of this year,
which registered the public dissatis-
faction with the Republican control.
But the opportunity is accompanied by
great temptation-the tempting of
