TONIGHT MASSMEET|NG
All Citizens Interested In The
Water Company Urged To
Attend.
NECESSITY DEMANDS IT.
The Purchase Of Water Stock OF Vital
Interest To Every Man And Woman
In This County.
Communicated
Annapolis, Md, Nov. 9.

To the Editor of The Capital:
Public meetings in Annapolis sell
dom attract crowds, notwithstanding
the Importance of the matters to be
discussed, but it is to be hoped that
Annapolitans will forget their usual
apathy on public matters and show
their interest in the great question
which is now before them by respond
ing in large numbers to Mayor
Strange's call for a meeting this even
ing to take steps to purchase a con
trolling interest in the stock of the
Annapolis Water Company.
1t is imperative that the citizens
should take such action as will show
the members of the Board of Public
Works their keen interest in securing
the stock and the ultimate ownership
of the water system. So strong and
numerous are the reasons for munich
pal ownership of the water supply,
that the State officials cannot help
aiding Annapolis in the matter if the
citizens themselves show their inter
est in an unmistakable manner.
The logic of the present situation
points clearly to the necessity of mu-
nicipal ownership of the water sup
ply. With water famine advertised
for many weeks last summer during
a season of unprecedented rainfall, it
is clear that the present plant is made
quate to supply the needs of the COM
munity. Such additions as are imper-
ALVEY needed will cost many thous-
ands of dollars and will be paid for
under any conditions by the public of
Annapolis. Under private ownership,
the taxpayers, after paying for the
Improvements, will not own any part
of them. Under public ownership,
what they pay for will be theirs.
1t was, therefore, happy circum-
stance that made the possibility of
the city becoming owners of stock
which VIII place it in control and omer
the means of securing most of the
privately owned stock under fair con-
ditions. The Board of Public Works
will be impressed with the necessity
of considering the people of Annapo-
lis only if the people make them
selves heard in no uncertain way.
The meeting tonight must be well
attended, or the State offici ais will not
be impressed with the seriousness of
the movement. Every taxpayer, man
or woman, has vital interest in the
matter. Not one should be absent
Very respectfully

CITYS WATER SUPPLY
Consumers Groaning Under MOnOp-
oily Prices.
THE PRESENT SYSTEM.
City At The Mercy OF Corporation
Should Own Its Own Water Supply.

The call of the Mayor for a public
meeting Of citizens tonight at
O'Clock should be answered by every
one who has an interest in the future
of the cty's water supply.
The people of Annapolis have yet
never been in the grasp of a private
corporation for their water supply.
The city, before the present water
service was established, dug wells and
placed pumps in convenient places for
the public, and the poor as we'll as the
rich had water free.
The present system was establish
ed by the city and state with a few
priva e stockholders, but the control
was in the hands of the state and
city, or the city and the private
holders combined. The present de-
velOpment of the water system has
been entirely due to public owner
ship, had it been otherwise the pres
-ent service and rates would not pre-
vail, but the people would be suffer-
ing and groanilg under monopoly ices
and privilege as has been the e. ERR
ence Of other communities.
This company pays no franchi tax
has power and privileges over the
city's streets. lays no sewers to AIRY
off its waste, and, in fact, has tt city
and the citizens absolutely It its
mercy. Citizens! are you going to let
this stock pass under private owner
ship and control? If not, then meet
the Mayor and City Council at pub
lie meeting called for at o'clock this
evening at the Assembly Rooms and
show by your presence that YOU pro-
test against and detest the idea of al
loving the control of this company to
get into selfish hands.
1t is revolving to think of paying
more than the cost of service for this
necessity Of life water; for the poor
to be taxed for the water they drink,
for the benefit of few is detestabe
The private stockholders interests
would be as well protected under
city ownership as now, and the pub
lie would be protected against the
evils Of shifting private control, for
the city, after purchasing, could not
sell. Private stock can be sold at the
will of the owner and it is possible
for the control to get into many hands.

EXTRA SESSION.
More Talk That Governor VIII Convene
legislature.

There are many rumors that the
Governor would call an extra session
of the Legislature within a week 70
pass the new Baltimore City Charter.
The probabilities in its favor are
about even and until the Governor goes
to his Baltimore offices nothing will be
determined.
The Governors suffering with grip
and expects 10 remain at the Execu-
tive Mansion today in an effort to re-
cover. To-day he felt Slightly i'm
proved, but feared to expose himself
until entirely well.
The Governor declares that the fu-
ture Of the Democratic party is in
the hands of the two Democratic
houses of the Legislature of 1912,
and he lays the entire responsibility
upon the Legislators and the party
advisors. At the Executive Mansion
last night the Governor said:
"There will be great temptations
facing this Legislature as have faced
others. There is always the tempta-
tion to meet and adjourn, meet and
adjourn and continue this without ac-
complishing anything. There is al
ways the temptation of allowing some
one who is anxious to get membership
on some committee to gather his
forces and make some fight Get it
over with beforehand, quickly picking
out the best men. regardless of per-
sonal ambitions. Party life is above
personal ambition, and this time it
means the life of the party"

The Next Governor A Republican
Harrington And Poe Elected
Legislature Democratic.
LOSS OF HEAD OF TICKET.
A Blow To DemOcrats-Second Re-
publican Governor Since Civil
War.

! 1t now seems definitely assured that
Maryland is to have a Republican
Governor. the second since the Civil
War, Phillips Lee Goldsborough having
won over Arthur Pue German, Jr., by
a plurality estimated at 3 ,A3S.
So far as the State is concerned the
remaining fruits of victory 90 to the
Democracy It elects its Attorney
General-Edgar Allan Poe and its
Comptroler-Em Emerson c. 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, according
to the latest figures, there will be
10 Democrats sand so Republicans.
The Senate will stand 10 Democrats,
s Republicans the House 60 Demo
Gratis and az Republicans. Thus, the
State government, for two years any
how, and probably for four, will be
divided between the two parties, the
executive branch being 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 tn power of Republican Gov
ernor, with the inevitable changes in
the boards of school commissioners
and election supervisors, is a matter
of vital moment, but in Baltimore city
the ring bosses feel more keenly the
crushing defeat of their candidates for
States Attorney and for Sheriff, in
whom they were vitality interested.
Otherwise, it seems the severity of
the fight on German, because of his
ring support, so centsred attention on
him that he, more than any other
candidate, suffered for its sins.
An analysis of the returns, says the
Baltimore Sun, shows clearly the rea-
sons why a result such as had not been
known in the history of the State
was achieved. The story is simply
told. Mr.. German had more of load
than any one candidate could pull in
this community. He made gallant
fight, ana he made it almost single
handed, but the dead weight of the
discredited Mahon machine and the
Preston administration, with its often
SEES against decent public sentiment,
combined with the deep resentment
saturating the people as a result of
the treatment of McNtlty in the pri
maries and the fraud exposures later,
were too much for him, and he went
under.

Cannot Prove Bribery Charge.

/ AS told briefly In these dispatches
yesterday, CONSERVATION was created
in the House by Delegate Nelson Hub
bard, of Ohio county, a son OF Con
gresham w P. Hubbard. when in the
balloting for the shom-term senator
| ship, for which Clarence w. Watson
democrat, is the democratic caucus
nominee. Hubbard charged that Wat.
sons nomination had been brought
about by bribery
Further sensations were furnished
when Delegate Robinson, of Harrison
county. supplemented Hubbard's
charge by declaring that watson's
domination was the work OF corporate
influence, and thereafter elimination
and recrimination followed.
The statements Of Hubbard and Rob.
inson were not permitted to 20 I'M

Of Calhoun, denounced such charges
as wholly untrue and unfounded, and
as but pigments OF the imagination of

manded an investigation.
