A KEPT PROMISE.

When the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives convened Speaker Champ Clark
announced that a saving of $182.000
would be effected by the application Of
economical business methods in the run
ming of the House. The Republicans
scoffed at the idea. They said it couldn't
be done But on the day Of adjournment
Chairman Fitzgerald. Of the Committee on
Appropriations, announced that instead of
the promised $751;. 900 having been saved,
the amount was $228.000. I'VE do not
believe that we crippled the House by
abolishing place in the House organiza-
ton which had been held for years by a
16-year-old girl who never came to the
Capitol. declared Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer, Of Pennsylvania, in explaining the
methods by which the $228.000 was
saved. I'VE do not believe we crippled the
operations of the House by abolishing the
positions Of couple Of telegraph opera
tors who had not put their hands to an
instrument in years. We do not believe
we crippled this House by abolishine about
twenty policemen who never could be
found around the capitol or by abolishine
places supposed to be held by men in this
building and carried on the payrolls, draw
ing $500 to $1,000 a year, who were
working at the same time in real estate
Offices in the city of Washington. We
have simply made the operation of this
House honest"

LA FOLLETTE AFTER TAFTS
SUALP.

Senator Robert M. La Toilette will give
President Taft hard race for the 1912
nomination. Il is declared that the Wis
consin senator believes absolutely that he
will win.
The progressive Republican or La Fol-
lette headquarters in Washington city is a
beehive of industry. From this head
quarters the proeressives are being organ
lied in every nook and corner in the coun-
try. Ii is possible to present today the
substance Of the claims which the insur-
gents make. They declare they expect to
control, well in advance Of the Republican
national convention, the delegations from
Wisconsin. Minnesota. North Dakota. Okla

RENEWED WARFARE ON IN
9TPG ENTG

Has Taft committed suicide Has he in
renewing his warfare on the insurgents
committed fatal political blunder, both
for himself and the Republican party gen.
orally?
These queries have aroused discussion
that is raging like blizzard of words in
political circles all over the United States.
Still another question that is being asked
and re-asked, especially by Republicans,
is: If the President does succeed in driving
the progressives out Of the Republican
party, where will he drive them?
The conclusion most generally reached is
that it is written on the cards that the next
President is to be Democrat. 1t is prac-
tically agreed that if standpatter is nom
mated. the proeressives will smash him !;
and if progressive is nominated, the
standpatters will smash him.
What makes the situation more hopeless
for the Republicans is that the 1912 cam
paign issue is to be the tariff, the one
subject on which the two factions can
not get together.

CHARLES J. MADDOX.
HONESTLY NOM1NA TED.

The first that Senator A. P. German has
had to say upon political matters since the
primaries. which took place on the 18th Of
August last, was on Tuesday to Balti-
more Sun reporter in an interview upon
his election as the standard-bearer Of the
State Democracy to fill the position of
Governor, which is as follows:
Il received, and was glad TO receive, the
support of the city organization. as any
candidate would be, but want to say that
would not take nomination that had
not fairly and honestly won. One of the
candidates for a minor position on the
ticket alleges that votes cast for him in
precinct of the Twenty-third ward were
not counted. Any credible evidence show
ing that this was the case should be used
to the fullest extent Of the law to open the
ballot box, verify the count, both as to the
candidate in question and all other candi-
dates, and If fraud should be discovered
and proved. those who were guilty of it
should be punished.
Il want to say further that il in this or
any other precinct irregularities or frauds
should be unearthed am prepared to give
the full weight Of whatever influence |
may have to any plan that may be devised
for a recount of all the ballots cast at the
primary in Baltimore city. If such law
yers as Mr.. William L. Marbury. Major
Randolph Barton and Mr. William Shepard
Bryan can suggest any legal way by which
the ballot boxes can be opened and the
votes recounted they can rely on my full
sympathy and active support in carrying it
out And if such recount should show that
Senator Lee had carried any district in the
city would promptly repudiate the fraud
retire from the race and give Senator Lee
my enthusiastic support.
Il have the deepest respect for the SEN
timent of the Democratic people of this
State. | am young enough to be receptive
to new impressions and am not so self
complacent as to ignore the lessons of
events. While feel a sense Of loyalty to
those who gave me their support. have
been deeply impressed by the great show
of strength made by Senator Lee. l realize
that the party cannot be united unless
due regard shall be paid to the views for
which this large minority stood.
IF am elected Governor shall be my
own man. No politician and no set of
politicians have any right to expect any
favors from me at the expense Of my duty
to the whole people of the State. While
the organization in Baltimore supported
me shall construe my obligation as being
to the 100000 people of Baltimore and
shall pay the debt directly to them and
not to any faction or fraction Of this great
city. guarantee to the people of this
city, if elected. fair and non-political
administration Of the Liquor License Board
and the Police Board. | shall give my in
fuence to the best legislation that can be
devised to safeguard the primary against
unfairness and fraud"
