AVote For Mr.. Wagaman A
Vote For Continued Prosperity

Mr.. Wagaman having canvassed the
entire district, reporter of The Morn
ing Herald called on him and asked him
to state what seemed to be the chief
political concern of the people as he
found it in his canvass.
In reply Mr.. Wagaman made the fol-
lowing statement:
The next Congressman from this
district will be either a Republican or a
Democrat and the voters must deter
mine whether western Maryland will
send to the next Congress a Represen-
tative who will work for and advocate
Republican principles and policies or a
Democrat who will work for and advo-
cate Democratic principles and policies.
Western Maryland has long been a
Republican stronghold and when full
vote is cast it may safely be depended
upon to elect Republican. Only at
times when light vote is cast does it
waver from its Republcanism.
81 have canvassed every section of
this District. Ihave talked with people
in their homes, on the farms, IN the
shops and factories, in the stores and
business places, at the mines, on lumber
mills. have talked with thousands of
voters in every walk in life, and perhaps
have more thoroughly canvassed this
District than any other Congressional
candidate in years. 1t was utterly i'm
possible for me to see all: but every
where | went the farmers are prosper
Gus, the lumber mills are running, the
mines are in operation, factories of all
kinds are running full time whether
they manufacture furniture, silk rib
bOns, hosiery, underwear. clothing, tin
plate, glassware, shafting, machinery,
engines, boilers, etc, mechanics and
larorers are employed and in demand,
the railroads are taxed to their capacity,
banks have sprung up in almost every
community and their deposits are grow
ing by leaps and bounds and a more
prosperous period was perhaps never
experienced by the people of Western
Maryland than the present; but every,
where also | found existing a dread
fear that something Is going to happen
to change or that might change all this
that a Democratic President and a
Democratic Congress might be elected.
This is not q fanciful statement. 1t
is a true one.
Let me give few instances out Of
many.
"A Democratic farmer said to me:
Mr.. Wagaman, l nave more trouble
about politics this year than l ever had.
I've been voting the Democratic ticket
a good while without thinking much
about it, but l bought a farm few
years ago and put a mortgage on it
for part of the purchase money. have
been getting along well making Emoney
and | want things to continue like they
are, but I'm afraid we're going to have
Democratic President, and we don t
want any free-trade in this Country
"A miner who has been in this Coun-
try about seven years said to me: We
want protective tariff. We don t
want free trade in this Country. Dldn t
l come to this Country to get away
from free trade conditions.
.. Another miner said: It's all -non-

sense to talk about free trade or tariff
for revenue only in this Country. Don t
| know that in this Country under pro
lection" we live better and do more for
our children than in free trade England
"a contractor excavating said: 4
don't see how any laboriag man can
vote the Democratic ticket. I'm now
paying $l.75 per day and can't get ali
the hands | need for work that paid Is
cents day the last time the Democrats
fooled with the tariff.
And so | might multiply instances
almost without number if it were advis-
able, but my intercourse convinced me
that the paramount concern of all.
whether farmers, mechanics, manufac-
turers, miners, laborers, business men
and men in every walk of life, is that
the protective policy under which all
industry and business has prospered
may be maintained.
II was nominated by the Republican
party when it was intact. Subsequent
ly when the Progressive Party was
formed it endorsed my nomination.
Both these parties advocate a protec-
tective tariff, while the Democratic
Party declares definitely against pro-
lection and for tariff for revenue only,
THE Democratic platform SAYS:
We declare it to be fundamen-
talprnciple of the Democratic party
( that the Federal Government under
the Constitution has no right Tor
power to impose or collect tariff
duties, except for the purpose of
/ revenue.
This is as positive as it can be made.
No right or power. The Republicans
and Progressives just as positively af-
I firm their belief in protective tariff.
The Democratic party demands i'm
mediate reduction. The Republican and
Progressive parties want reduction
along protective lines as soon as an i'm
partial tariff commission can report
what is the difference in the lcost of
protection at home and abroad &, To my
mind that is simple prudence. We
should look before we leap We,don't
want again a succession Of hard times
caused by reckless action on,the:tariff.
We had experience with the Wilson
tariff. We distinctly remember what
that experience cost US and we.don't
want a repetition of it.
The line of cleavage between my
principal opponent and myself; on this
important question whichfafects every
home in this district is thus distinctly
drawn. | believe in and will advocate
a protective tariff. He stands upon
platform which declares that protection
is unconstitutional. One of US will be the
next Representative in Congress from
this District. If the voters of the Dis
trict want to continue the policy under
which this Country has prospered they
will vote for me; if they want to change
that policy and take the risk of return
to the conditions which existed under
the last Democratic taritfsact they will
vote for my opponent.
The personality Of the candidate
cuts little figure, but what he will do
on this question which is burning in the
minds of the people of this District
makes all the difference in the world. "

Detroit Fire Department Buys
Twelve Carter Cars

Again the Detroit Fire Department
has placed repeat order with the
Cartercar Company for more cars tc
to he used by the Battalion Chief in
responding to fires throughout the en-
tire city. This time the order is larger
and better than ever as twelve Model
r Roadsters are to be delivered as soon
as possible.
The Detroit Fire Department was
one of the first in the country to adopt
motor cars for general use in the de-
partment. Eight years ago they pur-
chased Cartcrcar. A year later they
later they bought another. Last year
they ordered five more and now they
are buying twelve in one lot. While
this is the case, even the cars purchas-
ed seven and eight years ago are in
daily use. ''''s'H
! An order like this coming from the
Detroit Department on top of the one
secured few weeks ago from the Fire
Department of Milwaukee for seven
cars, gives pretty good idea of what
!; the mechanical and maintenance divis-
ions of this branch of the city service
thinks of the Cartercar. The unusual
unusual simplicity of the friction
transmission and the absence of COM
plicated parts makes the Cartercar es-
! pecally desirable for work where re-
liability plays SO important part.
When all of this new equipment of
Cartercars has been delivered, the De-
troit department will undoubtedly be
best equipped and most up-to-date of
any in the country. The cars will be
regular Model X Roadsters in every
respect except that they will be finish
ed in the bright red used by all fire de-
partments.

MONUMENTAL ARCHITECTURE.
Big Oaks from Little Acorns Grow
Watch US Grow

In building a house you consult a
competent architect, submitting him
your ideas to be properly worked out
and executed. To obtain the best re-
suits in monumental work you must
consult some one who has made suffi-
cient study of the subject to be able to
originate monumental designs to com
ply with the rules of architecture, and
carry out the detail in the building of
the work. If every retail dealer
throughout the country had adhered to
this policy in the past, our cemeteries
would now :be filled with monuments
that would be credit to the nation,
and the monument business would have
4 much higher standing than it has
today.
Something better than guarantee
A worthy reputation. Our aim is to
cooperate with the intelligent custo-
mer in the betterment of the monu-
mental trade, and beautify our ceme-
tries. Always think of quality, and
something impressive to mark the
resting place of the one whose memory
you wish to perpetuate. We will help
you select monument that is a credit
for what it portrays. We will then
enjoy worthy reputation. We are
building our reputation upon, not. how
CHEAP, but how GOOD.
With practical knowledge of every
detail of the monumental business. we
are able to help you, and therefore
help ourselves grow. Call and see us
and leave an order for one of our
beautiful monuments and watch us
grow. We have 20 years of practical
monumental business back of us. Will
you consider this before buying. The
question is, are we competent. We
leave it to you to be the judge.
