ers that Governor Wilson will poll as
many votes if not more than were
cast for Mr.. Bryan four years ago.
The same forces which led Mr..
Bryan's fight are solidly behind Gov
ernor Wilson. There are no dissen-
sions among business men of the Dem

Bryan campaign when hundreds of
them deserted their party and either
voted for the Republican candidates
of the Gold-Democrati ticket.

Only two marks will be necessary
to vote for your choice for president
and vice-president and for Congress.
1t is impossible to separate the can
didates for president and vice-presi-
dent. The voter is really selecting
electors who will choose the presi-
dent and vice-president. A vote for
Wilson and Marshall will mean vote
for electors who, in the National Elec-
torial College, will vote for Wilson
for president and Marshall for vice.
president.
Ii voter makes cross mark in
the box opposite the names of Wilson
and Marshall and then makes cross
mark opposite the names of one or
more of the Democratic electors, the
ballot will only be counted for the
electors opposite whose names the
cross marks are placed.
In the counties only two cross
marks are necessary for full ticket
-one for the presidential and vice.
presidential cndidates and the other
for the Congressional nominee. This
applies to all the counties except
Frederick and Montgomery, where an
associate Judge is to be elected. A
chief Judge is to be elected in the
Second Circuit, but the Democratic
candidate has no opposition.
These marks will be required for or
against the loans in Baltimore city
as the voters may decide. Thus five
marks will be required for a complete
ballot in Baltimore.
Since the institution of the high
Office of president of the United
States, an official always chosen by
the indirect vote of the people, Mary
land has boxed the compass in its
political choices for president and
vice president 1t has cast its vote for
Federalist, Democrat, Whig, Amer
lean Union (Knownothing) and Re.
publican candidates.
Since the presidential election OF
1904, inclusive, Maryland has ranked
as the closest State in the Union.
In 1904 it selected one Republican
(Charles j. Bonaparte) and sever
Democratic electors. In 1908 it elect.
ed two Republican electors John E.
Robinson, of Hartford, and Albert G
Towers, of Caroline) and six Demo
cratic electors.
This record of a break in the polit
ical affiliations of presidential elec
