he said: Il pray that heaven may bestow

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE rs, 1912
THE DENISE OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

There il 10 period of cur country
in which political history has been
made more rapidly, than in IT, past
two weeks. Especially has this been
ID ira Republican politics. The Repub-
lican National Convention which was
held in Chicago last week, was most
eventful affair, and in IT, opinion of
many persons, marked The close of
the Republican party, e. such, that
tine party was split 10 wide open, that
the breach cannot To- repaired, and
hence the event IL looked upon - tie
passing of the G %. P Whether this
shall actually d. 20 remains to be seen
with the chances that 1t will be ~
Immediately after tn adjournment
of the Taft convention, MIR. Roosevelt
with about 800 of his followers, who
had been delegates to the convention,
met I'LL Orchestra Hall, in Chicago, and
inaugurated a new party with Mr-
Roosevelt All its head. The new party
calls itself The Progressive Party,
ltd adherents having entirely cut loose
from the old Republican party Mr.
Frank "a. Munsey, The newspaper man,
and who IL a sort of High Priest in
the new organization, in an interview
It'll the Evening News Dir The 26th inst
says:
The leaders now refer To the new
party al the Progressive Party
They want 1T understood that they
never wish to b. called Republicans
again. The new party il 10 b. abso-
lutely and forever divorced from every
other party.
"But, NH. Munsey, would you regard
the men who took part in Tie new
convention Eli Republicans still?"
Certainly # should not. In taking
part in the new convention they ceased
To b. Republicans and became MEM
bers Oh the new Progressive party.
They are quite a. independent of The
Republican party II III they had come
into that convention from the Demo-
cratic party
This condition in the party will
necessarily lead to a troublesome state
of affairs among the Republicans OF
Maryland. Ten of the Maryland dele
gates stuck To Taft att Chicago, and
IL broke loose and went with Roose-
welt. There il a bitter feeling D.
tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces
in this State, and it would rs foolish
To undertake to predict tn new Az
lignment But H. Mr. Munsey says
the Republican party j. dead, w. in-
vite the white members Of that de-
funct organization, to come into the
fold Of the time honored Democratic
party, where as citizens of our good
old Commonwealth Of Maryland, their
rights and their white manhood will
be- respected.

PREPARATIONS
FOR THE FOURTH Ole JULY.

There has for some time been a
widespread movement through the
country for a safe and sane celebra-
ton of our independence holiday,
and 1T il gratifying to know that
Westminster has fallen in line and
that this year preparations have
been made for an excellent and pa
triotic observance Of the Fourth, in
which young and old alike may par
ticipate, with 10 fear Of the many
accidents and painful injuries which
usually occur. Oh that day.
Our local officials, recognizing that
1t il their duty to prevent the burn
in and The Gripping Of children and
perhaps their death from lockjaw,
have prohibited the widespread use
of fireworks and like destructive
agencies within the city limits.
TIN European countries occasions
akin toour independence Day are com
memorated by means Of fetes and
other picturesque ceremonies, just
al heartily and with Al much patri-
otto fervor a. among us. Continental
peoples have a genius for festivities,
national a. we'll A. all other kinds.
For adult patriotism, oratory may
suffice; but this il not satisfying To
the young people, and for them some
thing entertaining must b. provided.
And this il just what has now been
done. we have methods by which
the Fourth shall cease to b. gay of
terror, and instead, b. one of recre-
alton and enlightenment. Noise j.
now being replaced by music-the
music Of bands, and the singing of
national airs and popular songs by
skilled choruses. There are parades
i'm which school children and indus
trial organizations take place, and
something To satisfy everybody.
Surely we owe a debt off gratitude
To those who have provided such an
excellent program for the celebra-
ton OF the Fourth in Westminster,
thereby showing spirit of loyalty To
the towns best interests; and TT vi
show our appreciation by Joining In
the movement for safe and sane
Fourth and help to make this the
most successful and patriotic cele-
bration of it, kind ever held here.
And NO maimingS, no hurnings, mo

SHORTEST PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN.

Tn this age OF swift communication
the tendency il toward shorter cam
paigns between the nomination and
election Of presidential candidates.
This year there will b. only a few
days over four months between the
naming of the tickets and the decis-
ion at the polls. The Republican
convention that nominated Lincoln in
1860 met May 16, and i'm 1864, for hi
second term, June 3. Grant was
nominated for his first term at con-
vention beginning May 20, 1878, and
for bis second term June ), 1872. The
Garfield convention i'm 1880 was OBJ
ened June p On thu Democratic
side We recall the assemblage April
I23, 1860, Of the convention that after
I0 days Of deadlock took recess I'm
till June rs, the result being split
and two tickets. But if we 30 back
to the first half of the nineteenth cen
fury, when travel and communication
were slow processes, We find some re-
markedly long campaigns. Martin
VanBuren was elected president in
1886, but he had been nominated
about 19 months earlier, on May 20
Of the previous year. Harrison and

A GOOD BEGINNING FOR A NEW
STATE.

The Democratic party in the new
state of New Mexico held it, first
state convention At Clovis, May 14
One OF the first things IL did was 70
adopt the following plank in it, plat
form F:
Eve believe q healthy, vigorous
people I'd be TIE greatest asset pr 2
nation. we commend the efforts "a
Senator owen to secure greater Ell
cheney in our national health agen-
cies. We believe these public health
agencies should b. organized into q
single national department of public
health, and w. favor such legislation
as will effect this purpose"
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association says that IT would ~
difficult to imagine a better starting
point for q party in q new state than
such declaration OF it, belief in the
Importance Of public health. The
Democratic party in New Mexico has
taken a position that will ultimately
d. that of all intelligent and unset
