PEOPLES COLUMN

To the Editor of the CECIL WHIG, Elk
ton, Md.
Dear Sir:-Some of us who have been
reading the hysterical bombast Of the
Baltimore Am. rican' surely thought
that after the game had been played ac-
cording to the rules, that the Gallant
Gineral would have the grace to walk in
and present his sword and say 1--WE have
met you and we are yourn', but 1t Is
with amazement that we read that the
result was brought about by the Roose-
welt people buying up and voting the
negro vote. By a lille reference to the
result and the Sun" Almanac, one can
very easily nail this "misstatement" In
the Gath Ward of Baltimore there are
only registered cOlored voters, yet Mr.
Roosevelt carried this ward with 1866
votes. In Roland Park where there are
no colored voters, Mr.. Roosevelt carried
it handily In the 18th ward, where
there are 50 colored volers, Mr.. Taft car
ried this ward, the only ward he carried
in Baltimore City. Perhaps it might be
OF interest not only to General Angus,
but also to the Republicans of Cecil
county, If you can publish just how many
colored votes were polled here in Cecil
on Monday and where they were polled
for the public likes to know, you konw
Very truly yours,

ON THE PASSING SHOW

WE have never failed to reali the
difficulty of securing popular endorse
ment of our advocacy of an 'unpledged
delegation" In a heated primary con-
test too many men want to vote definite
ly for one or the other of the contest
ants, to make an unpledged delegation a
popular slogan. We have not advocated
1t because it was POPULAR, but be-
cause it was right. We began that ad-
ocacy before there was any Taft Roose-
welt contest and We have seen no logical
reason to change it. We believe in REP
Preventative government, in DELE
GATED powers" We believe that rep
resentatives or delegates lcall them what
you wild in convention assembled" is
the proper and wise way to handle poll
tical problems. WE DO NOT BELIEVE
IN THE DIRECT PRIMARY; NEVER
HAVE. We believe it is a serious men
ace to the stability and efficiency of our
political institutions. 1t is a Pandora's
box from whose lifted lid legion of lit
tie land big) devils will leap forth to
plague us as the years go on. We are
not alone in this belief. We are only
lonely in our PUBLIC declaration of it.
Plenty of men agree with us-in whs
per. They are so afraid of antagOnizing
public sentiment. Why, 1t is a full
81 ed mans business to antagoni pub
lie sentiment, when he honestly believes
that sentiment is going wrong Here IS
one of our resentments of President
Taft. On questions relating to the ma
ture OF our political institutions we be-
lieve in the things which we think he
believes in. IF ONLY HE WOULD BE-
LlBVE IN THEM HARD ENOUGH. II
only he would Tor could sound a trum-
pet note. We do not agree with Colonel
Roosevelts doctrine of direct primaries
and it's corollaries. But we agree that
Roosevelt knows how to state his doc
trine and wake the echoes with his state
ment. We would hail the day when
some equally forceful voice should be
lifted AGAINST that doctrine. Too
many men are afraid of their political
fortunes. They squeak in closets-when
stating their real sentiments. For pub
lie consumption they yell with the
crowd. They are afraid of not being
thought ''prUgress've5" Whereas, as n
matter .: fact, neither they nor the
crowd know what progressive" means.
u you want to know where Roosevelt's

power comes from, THAT Is where II
comes from. He is leader. He knows
how to strike and strike hard. Multi
tudes of people don't know much, and
care less, about his theories. But they
know Teddy. 1t is the MAN in him
that magneti es them. We share that
feeling, while disagreeing with some mot
alb Of his teachings. We do not want to
see some Of those teachings become the
settled policies Of our political institu-
lions. The direct primary" for in
stance. We only wish more men who
oppose 1t in their hearts would oppose it
in the open; for we believe as firmly as
we believe anything that the day will
come (if it is not already here) when
our political life will be disrupted and
corrupted thereby.

ONE of the delegates, elected to the
State Convention from this county, on the
Taft pledged ticket, has been vigorously
declaring that he will not support Roose-
welt II he Is nominated We hereby call
upon him to get off the ticket. He has
no business going into Republican pri-
mary as candidate, with the avowed
determination to not support the nomi-
nee of the Republican convention, who
ever that may be. That position can
properly be taken by the average voter,
II he desires to take it. But itcannot
properly be taken by one who has gone
into the primary as a candidate to the
nominating convention.

WHEN one considers the fact that
the Taft Roosevelt fight did not come
Progressively into this county, owing
to the movement for an ''uninstrucIed
delegation" and the further fact that the
Taft ticket had with 1t the 'organi "a
tion," backed by ample funds and a
solid colored vote; when, we say, one
considers all this, Taft endorsement"
was not sufficiently celebrating to make
one wildly hilarious We have never
doubted the ability of the organization
of the Republican party in this county
to lam through" the Taft program. But
We have very seriously doubted the wis
dom of nominating a candidate who has
to be damned through" by such vote.
1t is this matter of political eXpediency
which has dictated our opposition to Mr.
Taft denomination. We have thought
his hold on the party has become too
weakened to make his election very prob
able. 1t is not question of his per-
sonal character. 1t is simply question
OF his political Strength.

THE Baltimore American, as we'll as
some other very foolish friends of Presi-
dent Taft, is evidently determined to
drive all Roosevelt people away from
and support of Mr.. Taft, even if he
should secure the Republican nomina-
tion. Does the American imagine the
party can win without these Roosevelt
people,? Or has the American played so
long with the Democrats as that it does
not want to see the Republicans win?
1t certainly is doing all it can to defeat
the party-as are some other supposed
to be Republicans in this State and
county.

cupid At COLLEGE,

The above named play at the Temple
last night was the best amateur per-
Torrance that has been seen in Ocala
in many years.
The young performers carried out
their parts most efficiently and inter
estingly Not one of them, so far as
the reporter could see. made a bobble,
and most of them carried off their
parts with a grace and finish that
would have been a credit to profess
SIGNALS.
The dance by the young lady per-
formers, with which the play opened,
was more pretty and graceful than
any ever seen before on that stage. All
the music was good, and the little spe-
cialties were quite fetching.
The audience was large and well
satisfied, and the applause was gener-
Gus and frequent.
Great praise is due Mrs Moorhead
and her assistants, as well as the young
players, for their diligence and in
genuity in bringing the event to such
successful conclusion.
The company, at the request of
many Dunnellon people. will go to
that city next Friday, to give a per-
Torrance at the theater there that
evening. The Star can assure the
Dunnellonites that they will see a
bright and well-acted play.

MRS. PETER INGRAM

All our people. particularly the older
residents who have known her twenty
years or more, are saddened today TO
learn Of the death Of Mrs. Julia In
gram, wife Of our esteemed old fellow
citizen, Mr.. Peter Ingram.
Mrs. Ingram was down town yester-
day, apparently in her usual health.
She started down town this morning,
from her home out on North Second
street east, but was taken i'll and had
to return. She grew worse rapidly
and died about $50.
Mrs. Ingram has been a resident Of
OcaIa for the last twenty-five years.
She with her husband have been among
the oldest and most faithful members
of the Presbyterian churc... The fun
eral arrangements are with McIver &
MacKay, but ii is not yet known when
the last services will take place.
