ARE LINING UP
FOR WILSON
Enthusiasm For The Democratic
Ticket AStoniSheS Old-
Time CdmpalgnerS.

For the first time IN number of years
every faction of the Democratic party
in the State is enthusiastically united
behind the national ticket and this the
workers say means sweeping victory
for Wilson and Marshall in Maryland.
Leading independent Democrats. men
who for various reasons have gone out
side the party in the past, are back into
the fold and are ready to cooperate
with the regulars in working for the
success of the national nominees. In
addition hundreds of Republicans, dis
satisfied with conditions in their own
party and who are opposed to either
President Taft or Colonel Roosevelt, are
openly in favor of the Democratic tick
ct, and il they render no other services
their votes on election day will swell
the Democratic majority.
Veteran politicians say that the Will
son campaign will be one of the easiest
to manage for years, due to the fact
that hundreds Of prominent and intluen-
tial men, many of whom rarely take an
open par. in politics. are ready to take
off their coats and throw their undivided
strength and energy into the contest.
In the past few campaigns the Demo-
cratic managers have had some trouble
getting speakers. but it will not be the
case this year Already Chairman Muir
ray vandiver, of the State Central Com
mittee, has received scores of offers
from well-known men to take the stump,
and he stated that if the rush keeps on
he will have difficulty in providing
enough meetings for those who want to
get into this part of the fray.
II the Democratic managers have
their way the campaign will not open
formally until the first week in Septem-
Der. 1t is believed that the National
Committee will request that the fight
begin simultaneously throughout the
country and most of the national leaders
are reported to prefer the time men,
toned for opening. The campaign will
probably begin with meeting of the
State Central Committee, to which lead
ing men of the State will be invited.
The Wilson men, those who made his
fight in the Maryland primaries, are
planning to organize Wilson league.
composed of young Democrats who are
expected to do great service. The old
stagers are in favor of such an organi-
cation and will work in thorough har.
mony with it. Immediately following
the meeting of the State Committee the
City Committee, of which Daniel j.
Loden is chairman. will meet and out
line plans for the city campaign.
Mr.. Loden says that the party is
thoroughly united in the city and that
the organization is extending welcom-
ing hand to every man who desires to
Join the party for this battle.

he said. 1.-THE more the merrier. We
will find work for every one. ! tell you
| | am pleased over the outlook and II is
gratifying to see men who have not
been with US for years again wearing
the colors of Democracy. II is up to
my party to make these men stalwart
Democrats, so that they will fight with
us in the future campaigns. and as far
as am concerned will do all in my
power to get them interested in the par
ty."
"We will not do anything" continued
Chairman Loden, until after Governor
Wilson has his conference in Chicago
with the Democratic National Commit
tee on July Is. After he names his
campaign manager and gets ready for
work, the Democratic organization in
this city and State will be back of him
to man. The first thing to be looked
after is the registration in the fall. II
will be a new registration. Our dnty
| is TO see to it that every voter is put
on the books and gets to the polls on
election day.
"Governor Wilson win carry Mary
land. because he will have with him
that element Of the Democratic party
that has always eaten its soup with
spoon. instead Of with fork. an ele-
ment that drops nothing in campaign.
but supports the whole ticket.
"Wilson's nomination is the best
thing that ever happened to the Dem
ocratic party. He is strong all over the
country. and with all classes of people.
Roosevelt Republicans and Taft Repub-
licans can support him. feeling assured
that the nation will be safe in his hands.
