Drys Win Every Precinct

At the recent election five precincts in Southern
Illinois voted on the question of licensing saloons
The petition was declared invalid in one precinct
(Elizabethtown, Hardin county, thus preventing a
vote. The drys carried every precinct The following
precincts voted:

C,loneI Roosevelt clrried Illinois
at the primary election in that STATE
on Tuesday by large majority. Bnt
while this was SO it cannot he consid-
ed in any way a set back TO the can
didacy of President Taft. Many
local questions entered into the cam
paign and help d to turn the scales
against the President. The Loriner
bribery case had its weight, many
voters being disposed to censure the
President for keeping quiet on the
subject. The gnoernatoriql fight also
figured in the situation and the Gov
ernor while protesting to have hands
off, it is well known he secretly
exerted the powerful influence of his
office in favor of Roosevelt. The
practical result, however, is only TO
tickle to Roosevelt vanity, and will in
10 way initiate against the nominal
ton of tic Pres'd dent. He has the
nomination in a walk and his &c ion
will follow his nominst on as a mat

NOMINATE TAFT.

Delegates are almost daily being
named to the Republican National
Convention which will be held in
Chicago to nominate candidate for
President and Vice President. Up
to the present President Taft is way
in the lead for the nomination having
nearly three hundred delegates to
bis credit v bile each of his opponents
Roosevelt, La Toilette and Cummins
each less than fifty.
There appears at the present little
question but that be will have a lar.
ge majority of the delegation from
Maryland.
President Taft has made a wise,
able and conservative President and
deserves again to be honored by his
party and the people of this country.
Fhe country has gotten along and
Jared exceedingly well under his
stewardship and he should again be
given the chance to handle the reius
OF this government The republicans
could not do better then TO again nomi-
nate him. He represents the inter
ests absolutely Of the people being
the tool of no man or set of men.
Such man the people should be
proud to have represent them. His
record throughout bis entire public
life has been clean, honest, conscien-
tious and fearless. He has served
his country and his party we'll and,
therefore, should again be houored by
q nomination from his party and then
an election by the whole people.

GOOD MEN AND TRUE.

Yellow journal Mysteries over the
refusal of the Senate 10 coriirm two
Of the Governors city appointments
cannot hide the fact that men Of the
highest repute have been placed in
these positions. Whatever their pre-
decessors may or may not have been,
the new appointees can be trusted to
keep every promise they have made
to safeguard the public interests
nysteria went the limit over the
case of member of the Liquor
License Commission, whose reap
pointment was rejected, yet in his
successor Baltimore has a man as
well fitted for that position as could
possibly be found. Mr. Joseph A.
Buck, named BY Governor Colds

first appointment and unanimously
confirmed by the Senate, is one Of
Baltimore's useful citizens, Of high
character, sterling integrity, broad
minded, clear-headed and well post
ed on the work he will have to 10.
No better man ever served on this
board. No better man could have
been found for this place. The
Liquor License Commission will now
be composed Of Messrs. J. Henry.
Baker, who will probably be made
president; Addison f. Mullikin and
Joseph A. Bucker, and that the liquor
trade Of Baltimore will be well regu-
lated under this board goes without
saying.
There was more hxsteria over the
rejection Of one named for the Po-
lice Board, but who will assert that

NOMINATE HON. THOMAS

Under the new primary law pro-

the General Assembly, and which al
this writing thu Governor, it is pre-
sumed will sign and thus make . it
law the primary meetings will be held
on the first Monday Of May next and
the vote will be direct for the re-
spective congressional candidates
Therefore, but about three weeks
intervene hefoie the holding thereof
and the respective parties will speed
ly have to be looking abo It for can.
didates and candidates will have to
begin to get active.
In this Congressional District poll
teal sentiment has about crys;alized
around the present incumbent Mr.
Thomas Parran, and he will be the
nominee. According to a long es-
tablished eastom in this Congressional
District, a congressman is always &C.
corded second nomination and this
rule uiH apply to Mr. Parran as 1t
has done 10 his predecessors: WHY
should he not? It is courtesy due,
and apart from this fact to do other
wise would be detrimental 10 the
public welfare. 1t takes one term
at least to prepare a congressman for
the responsible duties OF the office
and he should be kept long enough
in office to enable the citizenship Of
the country to get some practical
benefit from his services. OF curse
there are exceptions to the second
term rule.
But there are no exception as re-
CARDS Mr.. Parran's case. He has
made good. In the slang vernacular
he has been faithfully on to the job.
Conditio have been such that no
important national legislation per-
haps stands to his credit because
since his entrance into congress he
-lh.sss-.een of the minority party and
could accomplish nothing in that
line, but be has been ever watcbful
and his votes have been for the ma
TONS good. The new congress may
be Republican in which event we
should be represented by a trained
member, ready to do good service
for the District and Nation.
So, we hoist at our masthead a
photo Of that eminent cilizen and he
has our warmest support. We were
the first two gears ago to place his
flag upon the rampant, and he won.
We again waive it aoft as an inspir-
alton Of party success. We feel and
know he will be nominated by fiat
tering support but it should be unani-
nous and to that end every good
party man should lend helping
hand.

SCORES MALoY.


Senator Malos's high handed con
duct in walking off, alter the adj
jonrnment Of the Legislature, with
the records Of the Serate pertaining
to the Governors appointment has
met the just rebLke OF all law observ-
ing citizens Of the State regardless Of
patty creed. Tie Baltimore Sun,
the Democratic organ Of the State,
bias had say too, and the scoring
given the Senate by that eminent
Journal Of Maloy's own psrty is
refreshing. How much mere lofty
and high toned would the politics
Of this State he, if many Of our other
journals would follow the example Of
the Sun and bit wicked head when
ever aud wherever it pops up. Read
the following:
Senator MSioy's course and often
sive reply to Governor Colds
boronsh's well-merited criticism Of
his unprecedented ard unjustifable
course 10 carrying off what are yir-
tually the public records Of the State
was only what might have been ex--
pected from a politician who de-
manded the head of S. Sterett Mckim
on a charge, on no other ground, so
far as the public knows, than that he
was too honest a man to be a good
Democrat The reply is the reply
customary in the fish market, and
would not be worthy Of public dis
cussion except for the edifying light
which it throws on the local political
situation, and except for its educa-
iional value in our struggle for bet
ter municipal government. The
stream does not rise any higher than
its source, and from the product it
self we can infalIibly Judge the pit
whenceit was dug aud the rock from
which it was hewL. Considered
from this standpoint, Mr.. Maloy's
contribution to contemporary politi-
cal literature has special moral and
value Of its own, Of which he is bliss
fully unconscious.
His only definite grievance against
Governor Goldsbarough was the Gov
ernor's failure 80 consult his own
party representatives. or the organi-
cation Representatives of either party
as to his appointments. Mr.. Maloy
appears to hold a brief for both or
CARNATIONS, but the indictment which
he brings against the Governor for
his stature to allow political
machines to dictate to him will in
crease public confidence in his wis
dom aud manhood. The trouble
with Mr. Maloy is that he is not only
the Senator from the City Hall but
the Senator from City Hall Of thir-
ty or forty years ago, from the dark
ages of local politics, when Balti-
more was still in the house Of politi-
ca bondage, and when independence
OF party dietation was considered a
sort of saerilege. Bat we have NOV
ed on since that time, though Mr..
Malay and a few others do not seem
seem to know it, and we viii con-
tinue to move forward. Baltimore
would rather 20 forward by The good
old Democratic road, but if she
should a any time change cars and
try the Republican route for a while,
it will be because Of Democrats Of

are the most potent factors in max

can Legislatures, Mayors ard City
