The executive committee of the

As was expected the demand was
greatly in excess of the number of

particularly in view of the fact that

After this principal allotment was

STATE DAUGHTERS" TO MEET
To Hold Annual Convention in Bali
more Nov. Ia.

The Daughters of American Revo-
luton should make il their annual
custom to meet in Annapolis, not in
Baltimore. Annapolis has many
claims to present and forcibiy urge as
its place of meeting.
No meeting place could be more APP
propriate than the old Senate Chamber
at the historic State House, were
Washington resigned his commission.
But the State ID. A. r. is to hold its
meeting in Baltimore at Hotel Belve-
dere on Novmber ID. 1t is expected
that Mrs. Matthew 7. Scott, presi-
dent-general Of the national society
Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution will be the guest of honor.
Since the election of Mrs. Robert
g. Hogan as state regent of the Co
lonial Congress of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, which was
held in Washington last spring, there
has been some discussion as to who
will be the next regent in Maryland.
The matter has been takea up at
the meeting of the state chapters.
The publicity given these discussions
has offended the members of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion throughout the State.
These discussions have been purely
within the family circle of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution and /
cannot see how they could have inter-
ested the public in any way" said
one Of the chapter regents yester-
day. 1T is to be regretted that
dignified body of Maryland women
like the society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution cannot have
little family quarrel without being
given vulgar publicity"
Mrs. Hogan will make the regents
annual address of welcome, TO which
Mrs. Robert A. Welsh, regent of the
Arundel hapter, will respond.
Following the morning session there
will be luncheon at the Belvedere
for the delegates and alternates. II
is thought that Mrs. Hogan will be
reelected regent. AS she has not
been in office year and has much
important work to complete, it is the
general opinion that there will be no
opposition to her reelection.

OFFICIAL BALLOT NOT
So SIMPLE AFTER ALL
Many Voters Confused at Jumbled
Arrangement of Names.
&. o. P. CANDIDATES AT Tor.
And il Was Difficult to Pick 0ut DEM
OcratiC Candidates Believed
Many Tickets We're Spoiled.

The ballot used in today's elect
was not so simple, after all.
The argument had been advanced
that with only two "X' marks neccs-
sary in order for the voter TO cast bis
ballot for the Presidential and Coa-
gressional candidates of his choice,
would prove a "cinch" for the color
ed voters, as we'll as the illiterate
white voter to mark properly. but an
examination of the ticket, the size of
it, arrangement Of the names and
general Typographical appearance, il
Is believ I'd, proved quite a puzzle
for this class of voters to mark.
In the first place the folding of
the ballot was calculated to deceive
many oS the voters. for il was done
up in such way that when first
opened, there appeared before ones
eyes the names of Taft and Sherman.
the Republican standard bearers.
Then followed the electors of that
party, and so on with the candidates
and electors of the Prohibition, So
cialist, Labor and Progressives.
One had to hunt for the names of
the Democratic candidates. These
were printed Just above the names
of the candidates for Congrt IS. the
latter being at the bottom Of the last
column. And the fact that there
were no blank spaces between the can
didates of the different parties, the
names of the candidates were some
what jumbled together.
It made the Democratic voter at
least exercise great care in picking
out the names of Wilson and Mar
shall. Once these were found, il was
easy to locate the name of Smith,
the Congressional candidate.
1t is thought therefore, that many
spoiled ballots will be found when
the count is made tonight

are counting on a plurality for Gov

may approach a thousand. as every
faction of the party is working to-
gether, and it is believed by many
that Smith, for Congress, will gee a
majority close to that of Wilson.
Many disgruntled Republicans de-
serted Parran and voted for Smith,
while Governor Wilson will poll the
full Democratic vote, ard will catch

Roosevelt will run poor third in this

vote for the Colonel, in preference to
Taft, will only help swell Wilson S

ters forecast a close vote in the coun-
ty, but felt confident that both Taft
and Parran would win. No estimate
IF figures was made however.
Unusual quietness prevails through
out the city and county. The day is
a legal holiday. Federal, State,
county and municipal Offices are
closed, and those of the nonresident
State employees went to their re-
spective homes to vote.
As an indication of the widespread
interest manifest in the election, many
Of the oldest residents of the city
left their homes to cast a ballot.
Among chese was ex-Judge Daniel r.
Magruder. Bedridden for several
months, as a result of a general dis
ability through advanced age, Judge
Magruder Insisted on being allowed
to register his vote for Woodrow Will
son. So, in company with his son,
Eugene Magruder, he was driven
from his residence on State House
Circle, to the Second ward polling
house shortly before noon.

In illustrating the power of ava
rice, the following story of Napoleon
and the cobbler, Simon, is told:
When Napoleon, about 1911, de-
sired to build palace for the king
of Rome, near the barrier de Passy,
in surveying the line, the shop of a
poor cobbler named Simon, stood in
the way. 1t was decided to pur-
chase this stall. Simon having
learned what was going on, demand
ed 10000 francs for his tenement.
The administrator hesitated a few
days, and then decided to give it,
but Simon, goaded by the greed of
gain, now asked 1000 francs. This
sum was more than two hundred
times it's value, and the demand was
secuted. An attempt was made to
change the frontage, but that being
impossible; they went again to the
cobbler, who had raised his price to
10000 francs. He was offerered
$4,000, but refused. The emperor,
being consulted, said he would not
give a franc more, and preferred to
change his plans entirely. The.spec-
ulating son of St. Crisoen then saw
his mistake, and offered his property
for 10000 francs, 10000, 10000,
coming down at last to 10000, half
what he originally asked; but the
authorities would not hear word.
But after all it was decided to buy
it at fair price, when the disasters
of 1914 happened, and all thoughts
of palace for the king of Rome
were abandoned. Some months af-
ter, Simon sold his shop for $50
francs, and in a few days after the
sale, was removed to an insane asy-
lum-disappointed avarice had driv-
en- him crazy.
