The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-10-24

MIR. Lewis is not a Democrat of the
school of jefferson: he is q Socialist and
a follower of Kore Marx. These two
varieties of Democrats have little in
common except the name. The pur-
chase Of the express companies by the
National Government is as purely So
cialistic proposition as any ever advanc-
ed by processing Socialist. Mr.. Lew
is introduced a bill to accomplish this
very purpose. His advocacy of Govern
ment ownership Of public utilities marks
him as anything else but a Democrat.
1t is pretty difficult to understand how
a sincere believer in the teachings of
Jefferson and Jackson can stomach such
heresy in The name Of Democracy.
Mr.. Lewis is a pronounced free trad
er. He does not deny it and it would be
useless for him to do so, for his own
votes would convict him of faIsehood
Theoretical free trade is entirely con
sistent with an honest belief in Social
ism. 1t is a dream, a phantom attrac-
tive enough to chase, but It's realization
viii be coeval with the dawn Of the
millennium. Present efforts to emboIy
it in legislation will serve but to disor-
game business. The people of the
Sixth District have SAID time and again
that they did not want it. AT time
when the country is confronted with the
possibility Of free trade administra-
ton, every voter of Western Maryland
should think twice, or oftener. before
he votes fer Mr.. Lewis.
Many there are who think Mr.. Lewis
is entitled to credit for the Parcels-Post
law. If Mr.. Lewis is honest he will ad-
nit that his Bill, along with twenty
others. went into the waste basket and
that the law as enacted was framed in
the Senate and not in the House. Let
no voter of any party be deceived by his
colossal pretension that he did it. SEN
ator Bourne, more than anyone else, is
the man entitled to.honor. In nineteen
other Congressional Districts through
out the United States live men who
may be claiming, for aught that is
known to the contrary, that they are
the fathers Of the Parcels Post law, and
not David John Lewis. Their claims
are as good as his and all are equally
bad
Shall the people of Western Mary
land take the chance on Mr.. Lewis
vagaries and dreams or in what he might
try to do if reelected? Already he has
torsaken the ranks Of two political par
ties and ifhe were honestly labeled now
/ if some DR.. Wiley would analYze and
properly classify and brand him accord
ing to what he is, he might be tagged
cratAdulterated, or Social
list, " but not "Democrat-Pure.
There is but one thing for the consera-
tive, progressive, safe, sane men of
Western Maryland to do, of the Repub-
lican Party in particular, and of all
parties in general, and that is to vote
for C. D. Wagaman for Congress, and
thereby to defeat the impractical, the
elusive Mr.. Lewis for a second term.

Mr.. Lewis is now clai1ning cret,it for the
passage of the Parcel Post L.. Is he entitled
to it?
On June s. 1911, Mr.. Lewis introduced in
the House of Representatives bill providing
for the condemnation and purchase of the fran
chises, etc, of the Express Companies of the
United States, and the establishment of Postal
Express"
In the same Congress on January 81, 1912,
Mr.. Cooke of Ohio introduced bill in the
House, with provisions very similar to those of
Mr.. Lewis bill.
Also in the same Congress, in the House
and Senate, is separate bills were introduced
for the establishment of a Parcel Post by other
members of the House and by Senators. Con
gress therefore had before it for consideration
the two propositions, first that one involved in
the Lewis and Cooke bills for the Government
ownership of Express Companies and the estab-
lishment of the Postal Express, and the other
question Of the establishment of Parcel Post
as proposed by the other IS bills offered by as
many Congressman from different parts of the
country.
After due consideration of all these meas
urcs Congress rejected the Lewis and Cooke
bills and passed Parcel Post Law which was
drafted and introduced by Senator Bourne of
Oregon.
For the purpose of his campaign Mr.. Lewis
is claiming the great credit for the passage of
the present Parcel Post Law, but on Feb. 5,
1912, before Mr.. Lewis was nominated and be
fore his campaign for reelection was opened he
made q speech in the House of Representatives

LET THE RECORD SPEAK ON THE PARCEL POST Law.

issue of May rs, 1912 severely criticised the
attitude of number of Congressman, including
Mr.. Lewis of Maryland, for their opposition to
a general Parcel Post
That there may be no question about the
real attitude of Mr.. Lewis toward a Parcel Post
Law, we here quote a colloquy that occurred
during speech made by Mr.. Lewis in Congress.
Feb. 5, 1912 printed in the Congressional
Record of the First Session Of the Sixty-Second
Congress, page 1915:
Mr.. Sherwood DOES THE GENTLE
MAN (MEANING MIR. LEWIS) FAVOR AN
UNLIMITED PARCEL POST OR A PAR
Gel POST REGULATED AS TO DIS
TANCE?"
Mr., Lewis: Il DO NOT FAVOR A PAR
Gel POST AT ALL. ! FAVOR a SYSTEM
OF POSTAL EXPRESS SUCH AS IS CON
TENIPLATED IN THE GOEKE BILL
The Cooke bill proposed the taking over of
the Express Companies by the United States
Government and have the Government run
them in connection with the Rural Delivery.
The record is thus clear that Mr. Lewis for
campaign purposes, is claiming credit for the
passage OF the present Parcel Post Law, when
as a matter of fact, he opposed in Congress the
establishment of the Parcel Post
The proposition of Mr. Lewis bill involv-
ing the principle Of Government ownership of
Express Companies and other public utilities
had the support of but a few members of both
parties. 1t was too socialistic in its tendencies
to receive the support of either the Democratic
or Republican party.

Mr. Wagaman's Popularity In Garrett.

All indications point to a sweeping
victory in Garrett county by Charles D.
Wagaman, the Republican candidate
for Congress. With the near approach
of election day political leaders have
been busy seeing the people of this
County and finding out from them the
sentiment on the congressionalqu question.
The inevitable conclusion has been that
Mr.. Wagaman has great strength here
and will poll big vote on the fifth of
November
In fact it appears that he is growing
stronger every day. The record of his
opponent, MIR. Lewis, on the tariff, pen
sion, and other questions that have APP
pealed to the people generally has been
turning many who once thought of vot-
ing for the latter back to the Republi-
can party's candidate. The farmers
have been learning that Mr.. Lewis has
not represented them rightly and they
seem disposed to resent this on election
day. As result, Mr.. Wagaman has
gained strength not alone in his own
party but it is confidently believed that
much support will come to him from
those who have previously voted the
democratic ticket.
One clement Of strength counted on
by Mr.. Lewis to carry him through is
lost to.him this year. Two years ago
he secured practically all of the social
list votes in the county. This year the
members of that party have announced
their intention to. stand by their own
candidate and accordingly Mr.. Lewis
will lose a number Of votes. In a very
practical sense this situation counts for
Mr., Wagaman, for the Republican
S trength vii! not be impaired by this
DETECTION of votes while it will cut
down the usual democratic vote in
the county,ssthus making the former $
majority all the larger,
Mr.. Wagaman's personal popularity
has also had much to do with making
success sure. =. Wherever he has gone,
he has'gained a host Of friends and vot-
ers all over the county have expressed
themselves as delighted with his person
ality.and fitness Gfor the position ne
seeks. TheYlhave recognized his states
manlike qualities, his soundness upon
the important questions of the day, and
his eminent ability to-make good as the
Sixth District Representative.
Mr.. Wagaman has been the common
meeting ground for adherents of both
Roosevelt and Taft in the County.
Early in the campaign it was feared
that he might lose some voters because
OF the .party's split, but as the cam
paign has progressed both elements
have swung in behind him and he should
get a united vote. Some apathy among
the voters has been noticed at times
and as this was the cause of the small
Republican majority two years ago, it
gave party leaders some concern. This,
however, seems in a large degree to
have been overcome and it is confident
ly expected that full vote will be cast.
CARROTS usual Republican major
itY is from eight hundred to a thousand
Two years ago the stay at home vote
reduced this to two hundred. This year
voters are interested; they believe in
Mr.. Wagaman and without doubt he
will get the full majority. Garrett
countians are alive to the issue and
they expect to give the county to Mr..
Wagaman by large vote.

Dr.. f. A. Kieble says in Northwest

Many a child is considered stupid
who is only unfortunate in not pos
sessing the normal amount OF sight
and hearing. Eye stiain Is the most
common form of headache in child
rem and many come without any ap-
parent reference to overuse of the
eyes. 1t warns us that too great
tension is being put on the nervous
system. Any congestion of lids,
itching and burning or styes singly
or in groups should call our atten-
ton to the necessity of careful AMI
