The New Governor VIII Then Outline
His Policy.

The new Gov 9rnor will be inaugu-
rated in Annapolis January 8. Short
ly before he takes the oath of office
in the Senate Chamber he will make
his inaugural address, in which he
will outline the policies Of his admin
istration and which he will endeavor
to have put in effect by the Legisla-
ture.
The Inauguration is generally a bril-
liant ceremony. In addition to being
attended by many well-known people
of the State, members of the Legis-
lature and others the workers of the
party with which the Governor is afil-
lated usually turn out in full force.
When the new Legislature convenes
on January 8. Governor Crothers
will submit to it his message This
is important, but the inaugural
speech and the message Of the new
Governor usually have more effect
upon the members of the Legislature.
AS soon as a new Governor is in
augurated he will be besieged )y ap-
plicants for appointment and their
friends Under the law he must make
all Of his appointments. nearly 5000,

session.

With returns still in an incomplete
condition from many of the counties Of
the State, at noon, but with steady
Republican gains reported though
falling off of Democratic majorities,
was expected before the count of the
vote began, and gains in the figures
in Republican strongholds, Phillips
Lee Goldsborough is shown elected
the next Governor of Maryland by
approximately 5000 votes.
While there are some defections in
the membership of the House Of Del
egates and State Senate, the Republi-
can Governor will be held in check by
a thoroughly safe Democratic major
ity in both houses Of the Legislature.
Anne Arundel again lines up with
a Democratic majority which, when
completed will, as was the case in
many of the counties of the State,
show falling Off from what had been
estimated yesterday. With the count

ticket. This had been expected, but
that he would do as well in such
Republican stronghold as the Third
ward was never dreamed.
In addition to Mr.. Bells, the whole
Democratic local ticket is safely elect
ed on the basis Of such returns as
have come in. Nicholas H. Green, for
States Attorney, against Dennis
Claude, probably had the easist time
Of any Democratic candidate. While
George Thomas Beasly, for Sheriff,
against w. z. Cecil and Oden Bowie
Duckett, for Register OF Wills, against
Joseph 0. Fowler, were rushed to a
certain extent, both seem safely
elected. The showing made by Cecil
ws q surprise, but the large vote poll
ed by Fowler was not unexpected.

were all elected as members Of the

Aside from the trouble in the first
precint Of the Third district, the only
other trouble that marred the days
voting and count was in the second
precinct Of the Third district, where
there were found TO be FIVE more votes
in the ballot box than there appeared

for some time, but the Judges fnslly

The Purchase Of The Water Stock By
The City.
Communicated.

Annapolis, Md, Nov s, 1911.
Messrs. Editors The question of
the purchase of the States stock in
the Annapoli Water Company by the
City of Annapolis can have, reason
ably, but one solution. That is the
securcment of the stock by the city.
Every public monopoly should be in
the hands of the public. Every pro-
gressive city owns its water supply.
1t is a contradiction of right for the
public to be at the mercy of any pri-
vate person or corporation in it. If
there be any evils to correct, then the
public can reach their servants, the
managers, Immediately, either in
person or by vote.
Under the present system the way
is long, tedious and of doubtful result.
The whole State and the private in
terests have to be consulted and con-
vinced before the people of Annapolis
can have relief from any grievance.
No improvement in the system may
be made without the consent of
State or the private ownership in the
company.
In the water supply is the health,
life and purse of the people. They
cannot choose between two systems.
One only is their recourse. They
take what they may be given them
in prices and in quality. The quail
ity is often beyond endurance. No
protests avail. Our neighbors, the
residents of the Naval Academy, have
supplied them the finest of water all
through the year. In summer, when
water is needed most, for years in An
napolis it has been fit neither to drink
nor suitable for the bath.
The financial investment is safe to
the city. The revenues from the rents
will pay the expenses and provide for
| additional supplies and improve
ments. The city does not sink an i'm
provident debt by purchasing the
stock. 1t simply exchanges money
for paying stock and will secure the
management, like other cities gener-
ally possesses, of q vital necessity
their water supply.

the officials in this precinct will file
with their regular returns full state
ment of all that occurred, and let the
board of canvassers settle whether
the ballots should be included in the
official canvass. If thrown out they
will materially cut the Democratic
figures for the whole county.
The only other precinct to be heard
from is the Third ward of Annapolis,
where, with the biggest vote in the
State, the election officials, after
working GALL day yesterday and all
night, are still at it and will probably
not finish their count before late this
afternoon.
The biggest surprise of the election
was the showing of Joseph H. Bells.
Democratic senatorial candidate, in
the Third ward. Although the count
is not finished there, as it progress
es, Mr.. Bells is running closely with
Henkel. the Republican candidate,
and will not be beaten in this col
ored Republican stronghold by more
than rs or 100 votes, if that many.
He goes into this ward with q
majority of 2S5 from the other two
wards of the town and will carry the
town. In addition to this he was
only defeated by 81 votes in the
Eastport precinct of the Sec ond dis
tict, which is another big Republi-
can stronghold and will, when COM
plete returns are in, lead the whole

official count by the supervisors when
that body meets as a board of canvas
ser3 tomorrow afternoon. That this
will be done is not certain, because Of
serious irregularities in the vote and
the count there.
Enoch P. Johnson, Democratic
chief Judge for the precinct, this
morning came to Annapolis and con-
suited with Mr.. r. P. Melvin, counsel
to the board of supervisors, over the
situation in his precinct When the
voting ended there yesterday, the
official locked up the polling house
and went out to get some supper
before starting to canvass their vote.
When they returned there were
indications that some one had enter
ed the building and tampere6 with
the ballot box and its contents.
The ballots had been taken out of
the box and were scattered about
the polling room. There was an i'm
mediate protest against counting the
vote, and after discussing the matter
all night, the chief Judge came to
Annapolis this morning for advice.
He was advised by Mr.. Melvin that
in view of the fact that the ballots
found strewn about the room upon the
return Of the officials tailed with the
number of votes cast as shown by the
registration books, and as they had the
initial of the ballot judge on the back,
as required by law, the count should
proceed. This will, it is understood,
be done, and on advice of Mr.. Melvin

NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
Favor Expressed In Separating Naval
Academy From Other Naval Ap-
pYopriatiOns.

Those who have the work OF pre-
pairing the annual naval appropria-
tion hill. notably the clerk Of the
House Naval Committee. are consid-
ering some methods by which the
arrangement Of the bin may be sim
plifed.
II would be necessary. of course,
under the law. for the Navy Depart
ment 20 submit it's estimates in detail
in accordance with the items in the
current years naval appropriation
bill But IL is believed there can be
a decided Improvement in the arrange
ment of the bin as reported from com
mittee. One example of the existing
aefect lis the item for communication of
quarters for the Marine Cors 1t
makes two items, one under the pay
master and the other under the quar-
termaster OF that branch.
There is no reason why they should
not be consolidated. Then, there are
many miscellaneous items under the
Bureau Of Ordnance which could bee
brought together i'm the interest of
simpler administration and improved
bookkeeping. By this means of ju-
dicious and intelligent consolidation
of items, the bin could be reduced i'm
volume and with chance Of eXpcdit-
ing its passage through the House
There has also been a proposition 20
put the naval appropriation in a single
budget without attempt 20 divide into
items for expenditure. This is a
proposition, Of course. which would
not find favor for a moment with Con
gress. 1t would be giving the naval
authorities too great latitude the
application Of funds, at least from the
congressional point Of view
More favor is expressed Tor the
separation Of the Naval Academy APP
preparations from the regular naval
appropriation bill. ass is the case with
the appropriations for the Military
Academy, the allotmcnts 20 which in
stitution are Incorporated in an iCde-
pendent BILL by this means the Ma
val Academy would probably get more
than is the case when the Naval Acad
emy appropriations are made "a part
Of the regular naval bill.

NAVY HAZER GETS A BEATING.
Lower Class Man Turns On Chum's
Tormentor AT Naval Academy.

Among a number Of instances OF
physical hazing unofficially though
reliably reported from the Naval
understood to have occurred in Ban
croft Hall last Monday night and
which ended in an upper classman be-
ing badly beaten by an athletic mem
Der Of the fourth class, whose room
mate. a small midshipman, had been
hazed to the point of exhaustion by
the senior.

class man returned to his room. 80
find his roommate nearly ready to
collapse. He was ordered to bear a
part in the exercises, but responded
by jumping into the upper classman
and giving him such q beating that
repairs were necessary before he could
make an appearance.
II could not be learned whether the
affair is known to the authorities, who
seemed not to have been able to get
satisfactory evidence of the resump-
tion Of physical hazing, though seven
midshipmen have recently been found
guilty of mild hazing, called "run-
ming" at the Academy. and have taken
punishment less severe than dismissal.
Ac :ording to the statements of many
midshipmen, and others in a position
to know, there is considerable physi-
cal hazing at the Academy, however.
Many Of the older officers DO not be-
lieve in light punishment for the
ofTense of running, but think that any
midshipman found technically guilty
Of hazing should be dismissed. New

Last Saturday evening two
colored fellows got into a scrap
on West Neosho street, and be-
fore they were separated, one of
them, Jack Mcclellan, cut the
other, Dexter McCanse, in the
face with a dull pocket knife.
One cut was on the right side of
the face, and the other cut was
on the top of the left ear. Drs.
Jones and English patched Dex-
ter up, and got him in shape to
present to the police Judge, who
assessed fine and costs amount
ing to S11.50 against him. Nc
Clellan paid a like fine.
We have been expecting some
thing like this for some time.
Dexter is quite a bull conner,
and he hands out taffy to the
other fellows girls in great big
chunks, and they have grown
tired of it. AS we say, we won

being called down hard by some

That Baxter Springs is the
