Was Leader of County.

Mr.. Mudd's political career began dur
ing the illness of his father, when he
was made chairman of the republican
state central committee and the leader
Of his county. To his leadership was due
the attaining by Charles county the high
est majority Of all the counties Of the
fifth district in the interest of Mr.. Par
rams election two years ago, despite the
fact that it was in that campaign he was
restricted by the operation of the Wilson
ballot law. Mr.. Mudd likewise took the
initiative and was the author and chief
factor in the movement which resulted
in the prosecution in the federal courts
of democratic election officials of Charles
county who, it is alleged. caused the
preparation of a ballot which deprived
both white and colored voters of their
right of suffrage.
Mr.. Mudd is a lawyer and has been
practicing with his brother, w. Griffin
Mudd. in Washington and La Plata, Nd,
at the same time actively representing
the government in the prosecution of
crime in the District Of Columbia in the
capacity of assistant United States dis
trict attorney. he resigned his post yes

home in La Plata Immediately to begin

+. W. York, OF Blue Lick, writes
us a letter on the immigration
problem. He thinks u immigra-
ton bureau a great piece OF non
sense and we almost agree with
him. This Is n question that the
real estate men and the railroads
are mostly interested in and should
handle as much AS possible them
selves. But It Is n serious prob
blem In another aspect. The city
has become a trap to thousands OF
honest, steady working men. They
can't get away because they have
a family, are in debt and can't
get moved TO n new section with
out aid. Our idea OF an effective
plan would be to establish an inn
migration bureau in ST. Louis and
Kansas City, instead Of a million

tracts OF land for any family show
ing ability and desire, and trans
port them to this land, selling or
leasing IL reasonably. This kind
OF an effort would soon pay big
