Movement Began in Mysteries.

Further on he said:
THE bull moose movement began in
Mysteries and is being kept alive by a
hypodermic injection of hysteria every
day. The bull moose movement was
fort to defeat President TAFT, the regu-
lar republican nominee
Mr.. Capers dwelt at length lSon pros
porous conditions throughout the coun-
try. even in the south. where, he said.
they will vote for Wilson and hope to
the Lord that Taft will be elected.
There is prosperity everywhere, and
the call of the bull moose won't scare
any one but children
Mr.. Capers argued that the third term
party should be driven out of existence,
as 1t had no political business to be on
earth, and that if it had not been for
the personality of Col. Roosevelt there
would not be a man who stands even a
foot high to lead it,.
Officers of Organization.
The meeting was called to order by A.
G. Buhrman, a member of the republican
state committee of Maryland. The Off
GERS of the permanent organization,
which will be allied with the League of
Republican State Clubs. arc as follows:
President. William S. Corby: secretary,
Clarence Dawson; treasurer, Evans
Browne; vice presidents, 5. J. Pelle, V.
S. Hodges. w. T. Curtis. A. G. Buhr-
man, Thomas F.. Robertson, A. A. Hoehl-
ing. w. c. Clephane, j. l.. Weaver. c. d.
Parker. Frank Simpson, DR.. Ryan Dew
eraux. T. w. Johnson and H. Prescott
Galley.
The organization holds unique
strategic position in the politics of
Maryland. The sixth congressional dis
trict, which is considered to be a re-
publican district, although a slim
Lewis in Congress last election. is just
about ready to see terrific fight
Democrats are bent on holding Lewis
in the Capitol. and the republicans have
chosen George Waggaman to beat him
The republican stronghold is outside OF
cratic majority will run from 800 to a
thousand.
Waggaman Is a Possibility.
Roughly speaking. the republican
gains in the four other counties of the
district are offset by the republican loss
in Montgomery. Therefore. il the pres
ent agitation in republican ranks in
Montgomery county can cut down the
democratic lead there. there is a pos
sibility of Waggaman carrying the
district. At least, this is the sentiment
at present in Chevy Chase.
The school tuition law of the District
of Columbia, odd as il may seem, may
have some bearing on the vote for
Lewis in Montgomery county.
Delegates from Chevy Chase and the
neighborhood conferred with Representa-
tive Lewis this spring while the apprO-
priation law with the tuition feature was
being discussed in committee at the Cap
itol.
Might Kill Tuition Law.
They were led to believe that Repre-
sentative Lewis and other representatives
from the fifth district and from the Alex
andria district in Virginia, who were also
interested, would be able to knock out
the tuition law and save individual fami-
lies from SIG to 800 year. However
a democratic Congress OVERRIDE the in
dividual democrats. In the case of Mont
go1nery county sums estimated at from
$1,000 to $4,000 will now have to be spen,
for schools. However. the residents OF
that distric: know that Maryland should
and will take care of the education of its
children, but at present the situation is
mixed The feeling that has resulted
will be used against Representative Lewis
VINO was not able to stem the tide OF the
entire democratic Congress, for whatever
