SESSION ENDED.

The legislative session Of 1912
came to a close at $50 o'clock on
Monday night, Legislative time, and a
sigh Of relief went up all over Mary
land, not that much good work was
not done at last, but because Of the
lack Of knowledge Of wha. was in
tend to be done, or what was intend
ed not TO be done. In the beginning
of the session partisan Legislation re-
lating to elections was hastily siam
med" through both houses and as
hastily signed by Governor Crothers.
That legislation was unfair 70 the
Republican party as il was Intended
to be, and would have had no chance
for the signature Of Governor Colds
borough after bis induction into
Office. Not satisfied with that how
ever, leaders of the dominant party
deliberately set about an attempt to
build up sentimental favor Of depriv-
ing the Governor Of his constitution
al rights wherein he would be depriv-
ed Of naming appointees to the most
important and responsible positions
in the State. Their threats, loud and
deep were that if the Governor would
not agree to sign each bill advocated
by them, they would hold up ALI State
and local appointments and thus by
methods, peculiarly democrats, they
and their friends would continue to
hold the Offices and virtually retain
control of the State government
But they ''reckoned without their
host" Governor Goldsborough early
let it be known that be would not be
party to bis own humiliation by sign
ing such bills, and after long consid-
Grafton which lasted almost to the
closing hour, the leaders of the DOM
inant party weakened and crawled
down from the hich position they
had taken. They tken consented To
give to the State such Legislation as
was absolutely needed by all the peo-
pie regardless Of party. And impor-
tant measures were finally passed
with the Governor retaining all his
constitutional rights, privileges and
powers, and which enables him to
see that all laws are properly en-
forced. They also concluded that i
was worse than folly to attempt tC
play politics any longer, and, to ou
mind very wisely, and his appoiLt
ments with very few exceptions
and all the state wide nominations
were finally confirmed in the closing
hours.

GOOD WORK DONE.

Our representatives in the legisla-
ture have returned to their homes In
the county aud each Of them are sat
is6ed with the work accomplished in
securing the enact nent of laws Of
local benefit. They too are pleased
that each of them exerted all their
ability and influence in securing the
passage of State laws that, it is be-
lieved, will rebound to the general
good. Such, for instance, was the
enactment of the State road law,
which was endangered by partisans
who wished to get party advantage
therefrom. That law as finally passed
gives the Governor power to appoint
all officials to be intrusied with this
great improvement and, better than
that, it gives to the Counties of
Charles, St. Mary's and Calvert 800,
600 each to be used in the respective
counties, which, in addition to the
sum to be used out OF the general
fund ought TO make, in each county,
many miles OF first class roads. La
ter on we will publish a list of all
local laws enacted during the session,
all of which we ran now assure our
readers were decidedly beneficial,
excepting of course such political
local measures as the so-called i'm
proved election law, but that can
hardly be classed as local, for the
Bosley law, to take the place of the
Wilsos law, applies to quite a num-
Der of counties besides Charles.
The Independent extends congra-
tulations to all our representatives for
good work done, and wish them sue
cess and property in their respec-
tive callings now that their arduous
labors in Legislative halls have ended.

WHAT THE PRIMARY BILL
PROVIDES.

The provisions Of the Presidential
Primary bill, which passed both
houses of the General Assembly and
now gone to the Governor for his
approval, provides;
Any candidate for a Presidential
nomination may have his name placed
on the ballot by the payment to the
Supervisors Of Elections of $40 for
each county and each Legislative dis
trict of Baltimore city.
The names of the candidates must
be arranged in alphabetical order and,
in addition, there must be box in
which voter may vote for an I'M
pledged delegation.
Contests will be made for delegates
TO the State convention, which in
turn, will choose the dele ates to the
National Convention; These latter
delegates will be pledged in accord
ance with the vote of the people.
The county and Legislative dis
trict unit is retained in the bill.
In order for a candidate for Presi-
dent to secure the l6 votes of Mary
land in the National Convention he
must carry enough counties and leg
islative districts to get control of the
State convention, which will be com
posed of 1919 members.
The convention will elect the
four delegates-at-large, in addition to
the delegates representing the Con
gressional districts.
If a candidate should secure con-
troll of the convention but lose Con
gressional district, the delegates re-
presenting the district he lost would
also be pledged to vote for him.
While the law is not all that might
be desired, it is regarded as dis
tinct step forward. Governor Colds
borough will sign it and the first cleo
ton under it will be held next May.
The Senatorial Primary bill pro-
vides that candidates for the Senator
ship may have their names printed on
the regular election ballot. Men
who vote for a Senatorial candidate
must vote the straight ticket of his
party for members of the Legisla-
ture, otherwise bis vote on the Sena-
torship will not be counted. He can
not vote for Republican members Of
the Legislature and a Democratic
Senatorial candidate, or vice versa.
The bill also provides that ballot
overmarked for United States Seua-
toriaI candidates shall not be rejected
except for Senatorial candidates.

NEW ELECTION LAWS.

Seven election laws have been
passed by the legislature just closed.
The first was democratic party
measure passed before the inaugur-
alton Of Governor GoIdsborough and
signed by Governor Crothers. 1t
provides that in the Wilson law
counties the names OF candidates
must be arranged alphabetically I'M
der the name Of the Office for which
the nominee is candidate. 1t pro-
hibits the publication or use Of sample
ballots and the use Of any mechani-
cal device or memorandum to aid the
voter.
The next, the Bosley- Harper bill
removes two Eastern shore counties
from the Wilson law counties, and
limits in the general law the party
designation on a ballot to single
word, not permitting Independent
Republican" or Progressive Demo-
GRAFT"
The third is the Harper bill aud re-
lates to over voting in any group Of
candidates. Under this law if
candidate, for instance, marks his
ticket for three members Of the leg
stature when he should vote only for
two the ticket will be counted ex-
eept for the legislature.
The Primary Election law is another,
and was passed at the beginning Of
the session and signed by Governor
Crnthers and was mainly intended to
clear up all the uncertainties in the
Lee Primary law of 1910. 1t abol-
ishes the third choice in expressing
preferences and prohibits The hand
ing ballot to voter within 100
feet Of the polls.
The Harper Presidential Primary
provides for primary election in
May; provides for the payment By
the Presidential candidates fee for
each county and legislative district
in the State. The one who carries
the counties and districts represented
by majority of the delegates in the
State Convention will b. entitled to
have the delegation to the National
Convention instructed for him.
The Price Senatorial Primary bill
requires the names Of candidates for
the Senate to be printed on the Off
cial ballot at the November election
when legislature is elected which
will appoint Senator To prevent
the nomination of Democratic can
didate by Republicans, or the nomi-
nation Of Republicans by Democrats,
it is provided that vote for Senator
shall not be counted unless The voter
also voted tor majority of the eau
didates for the legislature on the
ticket.
Tie Harper Corrupt Practices act
is an amendment to the existing one.
1t reduces the sum which a candi-
date is permitted to contribute to-
ward the campaign expenses; prohi-
bits contributions from unknown
contributors; prohibits the employ
ment Of "messergers" and .'other as
sistants." No candidate is permitted
to designate himself as his own poll
teal agent, and making and filing
sworn statesments is made manda-
tory.

MAKE UNCLE SAM
BUILD THE ROADS
Good Country Roads Far More I'm
portant Now Than Railroads,
Thinks Leader Oscar
Underwood.

That Hon. Oscar w. Underwood is
an ardent advocate of good roads,
| appears from the following extracts
from speech reprinted from the Con-
| gressional Record, the extracts being
but small portion of the speech:
For many years | have been in ia
vor of the government of the United
States either establishing post roads
or lending its aid to the building of
post roads throughout the country. 1t
is the only way you can build them.
1T is far more important to the
great majority of the people of the
United States to have road that car
ries their produce from the farm
door to the railroad station and from
the store in the town back to the
farm door than it is to further de-
velop a great railroad that will carry
them to New York or San Francisco
I'VE can begin by giving national
aid to assist the states, or we can
commence by building several great
national highways, like the Cumber-
land pike, that was completed a cen
fury ago, and yet remains as monu-
ment to the wisdom of our fathers.
Il have just this one suggestion to
make to you, and it is not my own
thought, that instead of advocating
one system today by this association
and another system tomorrow by an
other association, go to the congress
of the United States and say to them:
Appoint a joint committee to con-
slider the building of post roads in
the United States; give them author.
ity to hear everybody that wants to
come before the committee; give them
authority to find verdict as to which
is the best way to start this great
national movement by proper legisla-
ton, and then you have concentrated
the power in the hands of the men
who in the end must exercise it,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-04-18
UNDERWOOD WILL
GET NEW YORK
Neither Party Has Ever Won Without
Its Vote.

Neither party has ever elected a
president without the electoral vote
of the state of New York. While New
York will have an uninstructed dele
cation, the New York state commit
tee has endorsed the record of Leader
Underwood in the house, which indi-
Gates very strongly that they favor
his nomination and election.
With four Democratic candidates in
the field, no one of them will go into
the national convention with anything
like a majority of the vote. Under
the Democratic rule it takes two
thirds to nominate. 1t will be seen
therefore, that the nomination will be
secured in the convention and any
candidate has an oportunity of getting
the nomination.
This is the first time in fifty years
a Southern Democrat has had such a
bright chance of getting the nomina-
ton. Georgia should, therefore, in
sist upon her preference and do all
in her power to give the nomination
to the son of her daughter state, Ala
