SOME CRUEL AND UNUSUAL
Double Penalty Threatened for Those
Who Dared to Interfere With
tho Wires.

Rotorua has been laughing over the
wording of a notice that has been
place by the Public Works depart
ment on some of the electric wire
posts on the road to Okere, In New
Zealand.
Some time ago a Maori youth, who
seemed to have misguided taste for
experimenting, threw long piece OF
cable over the electric wires that run
to Rotorua from the power station at
the Okere Falls.
The town was at once plunged IN
darkness for two or three hours until
the mischief had been located.
The dusky and youthful expert
menter was carpeted in the court and
fined for his scientific enthusiasm,
and the department put up this no
tice:
Amy persons climbing the electric
light poles or damaging the insulators

these germs are promptly destroyed
they rapidly multiply. gnawing their

Worcester County will give

ticket to be nominated here on
Wednesday of next week. We
are satisfied that the delegates
to that convention will nomi-
nate such ticket as is demand
ed by the people. Never have
the voters so unanimously
placed their trust in our party
therefore we should be that
much more careful to give them
nominees that will please them.

but MUST be done. Let Us con-

start by nominating men for
whom no apologies are needed.

Honorable Blair Lee. speak
ing from the same platform as
Hon. Arthur p. German and in
advocacy of his Mr.. Germans
election as Governor, said at
Prince Frederick on Monday
last: THE time has passed
when to clean his party, a man
must go to another party. We
have tried that in the State
before and it has failed. No
Democrat should draw out Of
the Democratic party and turn
to another party. His duty is
within his own party. 1t is his
duty to houseclean his party if
it needs it. Men who change
from one party to another, find
in the other nothing better than
in their own, and in return face
the same responsibility they
shirk before they made the
change.
Ine supreme question IN thlS
campaign is not a party problem
But the great question is
whether this State will contin-
ue to progress along the lines,
so successfully followed thus
far by Maryland under Demo-
cratic rule, or whether we shall
turn the clock of progress back
and for no good. to chance a
temporary and dividedadminis-
tration out of which we can
certainly hope to get no good
for Maryland"

SNOW HILL, MD, OCT. IA.
Democratic messenger., 1911-10-14

A great Democratic rally will
be held in Snow Hill on Thurs
day, October Goth, which will be
addressed by Hon. Arthur p.
German, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, and other
State candidates. 1t will be a
great meeting. Let everybody
turn out and hear the speeches,
enjoy the music and meet old
friends. Every Democrat in
Worcester County should en-
deavor TO attend this meeting.
1t will be a great one, and the
men who are fortunate enough
TO be present will get a rare
treat of oratory. This is a great
campaign. 1t means the suprem-
acy of the white man in this
State will be maintained if the
Democrats win. If the Repub-
licans win, their legion of col
ored voters must be recIoned
with. No Republican can be
elected Governor of Maryland
save by negro votes, and no Re-
publican Governor of Maryland
can but uphold the power that
placed him in office.

Why Independents Are
For German.

The Independents are for Cor
man. Why ? Because this cam
paign is a forerunner of the
Presidential campaign next
year. The Republicans declare.
"As Maryland goes this year it
will go next" All Independ-
ents who have Democratic lean
ings are, therefore, going to do
nothing to help the Republican
party. They understand the
slick promises, and see that
every possible argument will be
made to get Democrats to break
away from their party this year
with the hope of permanently
landing them, and we are sorry
to say that some few Democrats
who hold an office above prin-
ciple are lending themselves to
the plottings of the Republi-
cans. One Of the Republican
schemes is to get Democrats to
run Independent, and then to
trade their votes for votes for
Goldsborough. They have been
very unsuccessful, however, in
getting up these Independent
Democratic tickets, because the
Democrats who have been ap-
preached realize that the idea
is to use them to pull the chest
nuts of others out of the fire, and
in doing so to everlastingly burn
their own fingers.
