SAYS FUTURE OF CRYSTAL FALLS IS
BETTER THAN EVER
MORE ORE THAN HAS BEEN SHIPPED
Cites Three Properties Discovered Within
Two Years that Contains More Ore
Than Total Shipments Of District

u have been asked several times as
TO the future Of this community. In
reply 20 tnis question / have only 20
say that iron ore has been shipped
from the Crystal Falls district for
thirty years and that the total .ore in
sight in this district today is greater
than the total Of that shipment TOR
that entire period. Yes. will do bet
ter than that will cite You three
properties discovered within the last
two years. that have more oie shown
up in thsm than has been shipped in
that period and there has been lot of
ore shown mp during the same period
that nothing Is said or known about.
The future Of Crystal Falls never look
ed better in my Judgment.
The above statement was made at n
mass meeting OF the citizens called bv
the Building a. Loan association and
held az the council chamber last Tues.
day evening. This statement, coming
as 10 did from a man who Is IN the DO
sition of Snpt Richards, carries great
weight with it and should give the
skeptic dose of the blues SIR. Rich.
ards was not talking about theories;
about what the indications are but a.
bout what actually exists. He is in
position TO know the condition OF the
mining industry Of this section better
than any other man and his statement
will bear great weight
Crystal Falls Is growing right along.
There is no big splurge being made.
The growth is steady and the class Of
citizens that are being attracted TO the
community is good one. More homes
are being built right along. More peo-
pie are today looking around with the
Intention Of building roTiYes than ever
before and the optimistic words of Mr..
Richards will certainly double the
number.
But the mining industry Is not the
'nly resource that Crystal Falls has "A
IS command. There is an area OF
arming land about the city that is un.
xtelled anywhere Little attention
as been paid TO this resource in the
ast but things are changing and
hanging quite rapidly. Within q the
ast two years "a tendency 10 develop
he farming industry has been growing
nd the settlers in ever increasing
umbers are iiocking 10 these lands.
What is needed mere more thau any
ling ef'e is someone with push and
nterprise 20 lead and foster this move
letn 10 the land
AT present there is no well directed
Tort being made in that direction but
is coming and coming soon
Crystal Falls is good place to tie to.

ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY
Jess Il. :Jessen Formally SHES His Castor
into the Sheriff Race


You may say formally that am i
candidate for sheriff 70 stay until the
votes are counted. said Jess II. Jessen
to reporter last Monday II think
that stand a good show and will test
the people out on ID anyway
Mr.. Jessan announced 20 us IN co nh
dence over month ago that he was
seriously thipking of becoming can.
didate but asked that we refrain from
using his name until he made formal
announcement. In the mean time he
has had time to canvass the situation
some and his action would Indicate
that he has, in his own estimation at
least, fair cnance Of pulling down
the persimmon.
Mr.. lessen has been in Iron county
about eleven years and immediately
upon taking up his residence here ac-
quired property in Crystal Falls. He
is agent for the Grand Union Tea com.
pany and his position gives him an op.
portunity 60 see and converse with
many people.
Mr.. Jessen's announcement makes I3
candidates that are in the field al
though some of them are said 10 be
woboly on the proposition and how
long the number Will remain at 10 IL
an open question
Another piece Of information that
Mr.. Jessen impaired 10 US is that he
has seen and oonversed with most Of !
the candidates tor the republican nom
ination and tnat they all manifested to
him disposition to get together IN an
agreement TO support the winner after
the primary. II this arrangement can
pe made ana kept in good faith it will
be big thing for the republican party
II the county. II the primary should
cave l2 sore spots around which the
opposition could rally and build up a
ormidable opposition il would almost
certainly spell defeat TOR the successful
nominee.

without foundation that the appoint.

Mr. Hanson is practically a product
OF Mr.. Jobe. IN the mining line. When

r1arYland's Population.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor announced the color, nativity and
parentage Of the inhabitants of Balti-
more and the state of Maryland. In
each Of Y large cities there are more
than 10000 negroes, but the proportion
of negroes to the total population is
generally small. In Baltimore 81, 749
negroes live, which is exactly 1872 per
cent of Baltimore population.
OF Baltimore's $50, 485 inhabitants,
according to the last census, POI, 474 are
Of native parentage. There are 1874, $40
Baltimoreans of foreign or mixed par
entage, while there are II, O43 persons
in the city of foreignborn white parent
age. There are 346 Asiatics in Baltimore.
OF the state of Maryland's population
of l., 295, 346 there are 766, 627 persons
of native parentage, while but 191, 838
of foreign or mixed parentage. There
are 104, ia persons of foreign or mixed
parentage in Maryland, while the state
has 232, $50 negroes and 457 Asiatics.
1t is noteworthy that West Virginia
has the largest percent of population of
native parentage, with Indiana stand
second in this respect.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-06-27

in all of Garrett county, is unnecessary
for number OF good and sufficient
reasons:
First, 1t will detract very materially
from the stateliness of the surroundings
at the Court House, which is admittedly
the handsOmest public square in the
entire State of Maryland, deemed such
by many who have travelled extensively
throughout the country.
Second. A stable erected at any point
will draw flies and other vermin to that
particular spot and an odor will arise
that is almost impossible to keep down,
no matter what measures or prevent
ives are employed and notwithstanding
that fact that every effort may be made
to keep the building in the most SANTA
ry condition possible.
Third. The county owns the old court
house and Jail properties, located in a
sparcely populated portion of the town,
and up to the present moment the sta
bic erected on the property number of
years ago has been used by all former
Sheriffs for the stabling of stock and no
objection that is apparent to the3writer
on account Of its distant location from
the present residence of the Sheriff has
( been made.
Fourth. do not know of law Civ
ing the County Commissioners power or
authority to erect buildings other than
those dedicated to the use of the public,
such as Jail and court house. thence a
stable tor the private use Of the Sheriff
is not public building, even though it
is located on public grounds and paid for
by the tax payers of the county, nor
can it become public building or dedi-
Gated to the uses of the public.
Fifth The Court House squareywas
largely paid for by the citizens of Oak
land, hardship imposed upon them by
the then Board of County Commission
ers, in order that the public buildings
might be located in central portion of
the town and not upon the highest and
most inaccessible hill within the con-
fines Of the municipality. The property
was intended for the Jail and Court
House alone and not as site for a stable
that may become a public nuisance.
Sixth. The proposition to erect such
a structure on the public square, in
sight of every passer-bY and immedi-
ately beneath the windows of the Court
House. the Jail and the Sheriff. resi-
dence, is preposterous and should be
protested against from the standpoint
of wastefulness of the peoples money
and menace to the health of the pris-
oners and other unfortunates who NAV
be confined in the jail.
Irepresent but one of a great num-
Der that holds the views above express
ed, and | am convinced that the gentle
men composing the Board of County
Commissioners will see the utter use
lessness of marrlng the beauty of the
public square when the matter is prop
erly presented to them.
Thanking YOU for the use of your
columns, beg to remain,

HE PEOPLES FORUM.
Chairman N. Z. Bond Addresses the
Republicans of the County.

To the Republican Voters of Garrett
County, Maryland:
| deem it important to write
you this letter, and l hope you will par
don me for using our local newspaper
as a medium in which to address you,
owing to the fact that it takes consider
able time and expense to send each one
of you an Individual letter.
There is no doubt but what MANY of
the Republican voters of this county are
greatly disappointed over the fact that
Theodore Roosevelt was not made our
nominee for President by the regular
Republican Convention at Chicago last
week, and perhaps none Of you felt more
disappointed at the time than myself.
However, upon reflection it seems to me
that 1t would be an unwise thing for US,
the Republican voters of this county, to
allow ourselves to become irregular to
our party utilization at this time, owing
to the tact that we have four months
time before election to consider this
matter, and to investigate to our own
satisfaction anything that we feel was
done irregularly in the Convention, and
thus nteliigently arrive at our own con
cluslons.
There is another reason why we
should remain loyal at this time, and
that is our nominee for Congress, Mr..
Charles d. Wagaman, Is gentleman
worthy of our united support, and should
the Republican voters in this County
become dismembered and divided into
factions it would certainly endanger his
election.
| would not at this time wish to as
sumo the position of debating to you
whom you should vote for for President,
but only to ask you to delay arriving at
any conclusions in this matter until later
and then upon reflection see if it will
not be possible for US to act in harmony
as we have in the past.
feel that it is scarcely necessary for
me to mention to you that should we
become divided into factions on this
Presidential issue for which none of US
are in the least responsible, nor over
which any of US have the least control,
it would materially interfere with the
nomination and election of our county
ticket next year which embraces almost
all Of our county offices, and which is
matter that we are all very much per-
sonally interested in accomplishing
In conclusion may | venture to say
that the Republican party is greater
than any one man, whether he be Presi-
dent or ex-Presldent of theUnited States
and that we were Republicans before
we knew of either of the opposing can
didates who were seeking that nomina-
ton which our party had previously hon
ored by bestowlng upon them both, the
greatest gift with its power.
Yours very truly,
N. U. BOND, Chairman,

7. r." ELECTORS MAY
Be ASKED TO QUIT TICKET
1t They Do Not, Taftites in Maryland
Will Take Steps to Force Them.

Upon the highest party authority in
Maryland it is stated that unless the
uItra-Roosevelt men of the Republican
electoral ticket give assurances that
they will vote for President Taft in the
Electoral College, if elected, steps will
De taken to displace them. This is
stated without equivocation and in a
manner reflective of the intense feeling
that exists between the conservatives
and the radicals.
Taft men think that the only decent
thing for Roosevelt men on the electoral
ticHet who purposes following Colonel
Roosevelt to the limit Is to retire. If
they DO not. steps will be taken to
force them. 1t is claimed that the last
Republican State Convention, which
nominated the electoral candidates, did
not adjourn sine die, and that as the
candidates have not been certified to the
secretary Of State by the officers of the
convention it may be reassembled, the
nominations revoked and straightout
Taft men named.
Again, it is claimed that the conven-
ton did adjourn sine die and that the
Taft people are powerless to reassembIe
1t for any purpose. 1t has been sug-
gested that if this be true, the officers
of the convention, Taft men, may refuse
to certify the electoral nominations to
the secretary of State. This probably
would result in mandamus proceedings
by the men nominated for electors
against the officers to compel issuance
of the certificates.
Should those who contend that the
adjournment was sine die be found in
the right and those nominated for
electors stick as the Republican candi-
dates despite support of Roosevelt and
finally land on the ticket, the Taft
people, in all likelihood, would put
electoral candidates. on the ticket by
petition. This would presen1the anoma-
lous situation of Taft men running
under some name other,than "Republi-
can and the Roosevelt people, candi-
dies of the new party, under ;the old
party name.
Behind the matter is more than per-
sonal feeling between the two.elements;
there is possibility, if the old nomin-
ations for electors were allowed Ito stand
without opposition from the Taft peo-
pie, that Roosevelt wouldIwin the Mary
land vote, even though the Democratic
candidate should win plurality with
three candidates in the. field; and of all
things under the heavens the Taft men
want most is the defeat of Roosevelt.
This possibility arises from the heavy
ordinarily Republican vote that would
be polled with Taft and Roosevelt run
ming, which vote would go to the regular
electors; maybe in sufficient size to over
come the vote for the Democratic
electors. And if the electors were
Roosevelt men, Taft's followers would
have aided their enemy.
In some quarters the idea is advanced
that Roosevelt's game will be to indorse
the regular Republican candidates for
electors throughout the North and, in
the event OF their election, claim them
wherever he polled a larger vote than
Taft.
