Governor Phillips Lee tioldsborough, who has
the distinction OF being one of the two Repun-
lican governors which Maryland has elected in
the past fifty years. gives ii as his opinion that
Mr. Taft count upon many Independent
Democratic votes in that state, and also that
many negroes who supported Roosevelt in the
spring primaries will vote the regular RepubH-
can ticket next November
MARYLAND has a normal Democratic majority
Of from ten thousand to twenty thousand but
the people OF that State are very conservative
They are not quick to let go their moorings
and sail into nncnarted waters. It was this
very conservatism that caused the election OF
Republican governor great rarity In Mary
~ 4tas4-el-iti large measure by lndepen-
dent Democratic votes
The governor places the number of indepen-
dent voters in his State a. thirty thousand. We
have generally understood that there are a.
great many more of them. T he conservative
position OF Mr.. Taft will no DOUBT appeal to
these voters. The Maryland farmers have been
exceedingly prosperous during the past ten
years. They really are better off not only on the
Eastern Shore. Marylands fruit asd vegetable
storehouse, but in all parts of the State, than
ever before In their history.
No farmer is slow TO realize this. Then why
should he be expected to jeopardize his pros
per.ty by q wrong step-by voting so as to bring
about change in our national government?
Governor Godsborongh is positively convinced
+ that large proportion OF the Maryland INDUS
trial workers as we'll the farmers believe
in a protective policy. The intelligent tller of
the soil there has good not to forget
that IN 1SsS and thereafter-that is during a
Democratic administraton-farm land at
very low price, and that since the advent OF
the Republican party land values have more
than doubled.
! All this being the case--and We are near
enough Maryland to know that the governor
is not exaggerating Mr.. Tafts chances in that
orally being placed in the doubtful" column
