A CURIOUS WAY TO SMASH A
MACHINE.

The Maryland Democratic State
machine is composed of the city ma
chine of Baltimore, which is the back
bone, and local organizations in the
various counties.
These are articulated together
through the general leadership of John
Walter Smith. and the fabrication
which makes the joints work smoothly
and noiselessly is afforded by the
various interests in city and State,
which have a stake in the business
of controlling law-making and law
administration.
The effective cooperation of these
different elements in the recent
primary contest brought about the
nomination for governor of Arthur Pue
German.
Mr.. German is the candidate of this
compound machine. He is the candi-
date of nobody and nothing else.
How very important this compound
machine considered it to nominate Mr..
German is to be judged in the light of
knowledge which the Baltimore grand
jury has shed on the corrupt methods
that ruled at the primaries.
The Baltimore machine first cor
rupted the Republican election officials
wherever it was possible, and then
Democratic and Republican officials
united in counting the votes so as to
give exactly the kind of returns that
Democratic purposes required.
There is no longer pretense that
effort was made to have the returns"
maintain any possible relationship to
the vote as cast.
Votes were stolen, by the process of
counting, for German, and for every
body else on the machine ticket.
In addition, wholesale repeating is
charged, and the grand jury is to enter
upon an investigation of this.
In these circumstances the whole
people of Maryland is demanding
rigorous procedure, and immediate re-
form.
AND THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
INSIST THAT THE WAY TO GET
THAT REFORM is TO ELECT AS
GOVERNOR THE MAN WHO WAS
NOMINATED BY THESE METHODS!
They charge that while the Demo
Gratis have been bad, the Republicans
would surely be worse.
Perhaps; but it is hard to conceive
how they could manage it.
| If burglary gets common in our
town; if We discover that half the
population has been engaged in it; if
we discover that leading citizen has
been acting as receiver of the booty;
If we learn that he has himself ac-
cumulated a fine fortune as "fence'
and converter of the stolen goods;
And if then it is proposed, in. order
to reform the whole situation, to have
that man made chief of police
Doesn't it occur to a casual observer
that the people of our town would hesi-
tate to vote for that man for chief?
Well, that is just what the Mary
! land situation amounts to. Mr.. Cor.
man is the receiver of a stolen guber-
Material nomination. The next COVER.

cutions of the men who stole it for him
and to secure laws that will make
future thefts of the kind impossible.
Does he look exactly like the mar
to be entrusted with that task?
1t is fearful and wonderful process
of reasoning, this, by which the ma.
chine Democrats of Maryland, and
some misguided independent Demo
Gratis, are reaching the conclusion that

A NEW DANGER.

Editor East Oregonian:
The farmers in the past have had
to contend with a good many pests,
such as smut, hessian flies, wire
worms, etc. and now they seem TO
be confronted with a new one. It's
called the crop expert. 1t has even
been called commercial expert,
which is probably worse, more ag-
gravated form perhaps. Something
should be done as soon as possible
and the attention Of the experiment
stations called to the fact that they
must devise a cure.
To be serious, we wheat ranchers
don't want our crops exported, not
by commercial experts anyway. For
every time that glory report goes
in, we notice. that the price Of wheat
! is depressed few cents. Multiply
! that by the several million bushels
raised In the northwest. and you have
the amount lost 10 the people Of the
/ inland empire. And its not only the
l farmers that's hit. Its the merchant
and the tradesman of all kinds. Even
the newspaper man can figure loss
And the worst Of 1t is the consumer

speculat1r's hands shortage is dis
covered, an over estimation has been
made and the price goes up accord
ingly.
BY the way where did this man
Cohen get all his expert knowledge?
Has he spent thirty or forty years ON
IA wheat ranch studying the exact
conditions that it takes to make a
sood wheat crop? or has he got his
experience from riding on the train,
or being taken in an automobile to
some particularly favored locality
where the wheat is above normal I

Even the name doesn't sound like it.
