1t was upon Section 1915 of the
political code of 1901 that a decision
in the Wagner-Walkes case hinged.
Many advocate striking this clause out
of the statutes, on the ground that it
is confusing, and a measure, with this
idea in view, will be introduced in the
near future.
The senate session was given over
entirely to the introduction of bills.
The one which came as a surprise
was No. As, by Curtiss, which abolishes
the Office of the scale inspector. The
position is held at present by Nye

After a lengthy discussion the senate
refused to raise the salary of the sec

lay this agreement was reached in re

hat the same step would be taken In

'eated by a small margin. The major
part OF the day was also given to tn
Introduction of bills.
The Per Diem and Mileage commit

the additional assistants appointed as
doorkeepers, etc, by the secretary OF
state. who has the authority, will be
allowed no remuneration by the legis-
lature if their recommendations are
followed out. They say appointees or
a state officer are employees OF the
state and should be paid by it. The
legislature pays It's assistants from
three to five dollars per day, while
similar Offices, under the state would
mean a salary of probably SIS per
month. If this system p evails, many
seekers of so-called snaps will wish
they had remained at home.

The Great Frederick Fair.

After expanding nearly $500 the
management OF the Frederick County
Agricultural Society have made such en-
tensive improvements, that no doubt
many OF the number that have been at
tending this exhibition annually, will be
more than surprised at the great i'm
provements made. A new grand stand,
supplied with all modern conveniences. a
new band stand and the many changes
for the accommodation of live stock,
agricultural implements, new dining
rooms, &C., have been provided.
The exhibits SO far given space is far in
excess of former years, and the many de-
vices for the amusement of the great
crowd expected is most select and will be
pleasing not only to those coming from
the county but foreign visitors, as they are
all new. The household department,
the genealogical exhibits, merchants
wares, all promise to excel their former
efforts. The increase in purses to be con-
tested for is another incentive to produce
better stock in that line The manage
ment, especially the president and secre-
tary, deserve to be complimented for
their untiring efforts to give the patrons
of the Frederick County Agricultural So
ciety the best show yet presented and
amusemen;S on the grounds-rarely
equaled in any section of the country

man must go to another party. We
have tried that before in this State and
1t has failed. No Democrat should draw
out OF the Democrat party and turn 10
another party His duty is within his
own party. 1t is his duty to house clean
his party, if it needs it, Men who change
from one party to another, and find
in the other, nothing better than in their
own, and in return face the same respon-
sibiity, they shlrk before they made
the change.
The supreme question in this cam
paign is not party problem But the
great question is whether this State
will continue to progress along the lines,
so successfully followed thus far by
Maryland under Democratic rule, or
whether we shall turn the clock of prog
ress back, and for no good reason to
chance a temporary and divided admins
tration, out OF which we can certainly
hope to get no good for Maryland.

Questions Put to the Frederick
County Candidates by the
Anti Saloon League.

The local Anti-Saloon League has
sent to the Senatorial and legislative
candidates on both tickers a list of ques-
tons in regard to the temperance legis-
lation The object is to select candi-
dates which the league will be called
upon to support. Replies were asked to
be returned on or before October 18th.
The questions are:
l. Do you believe that the people OF
Maryland in the various counties or sub
divisions, have right to decide by vote
whether their existing saloons shall or
shall not be closed?
2. If elected, will you support by your
vote and influence the proposed State
wide Local Option Bill as a concrete
expression of the present demand for
that right?
3. Will you use your vote and influence
for such organization of the Legislature
and such parliamentary procedure as will
insure speedy and favorable considera-
ton of the said bill?
a. Should it be agreed by the league
that there is some doubt as to the pas
sage of the Statewide bill, will you vote
and use your utmost influence to secure
the passage Of said bill as local law
for Frederick county?
The letter concludes:
1--WE wish to make clear a few points
which are evidently misunderstood by
some, because misrepresented by our
opponents. Local option has nothing to
do with total abstinence. A man may
consistently vote for local option law
to submit the saloon question to a vote
regardless of whether he will vote for or
against saloons at the election held under
il.
THE proposed Local Option law will
not when passed by the Legislature,
close single saloon, but merely leave
the question to the people. While in
order to be fair a vote under h may be
reversed it does not repeal or interfere
with any other temperance law pre-
viouSly passed"
