MARYLAND'S CAMPAIGN.
Respectfully.
S. I. JONES.

With men of high character and abili-
ty as their candidates, with the most
progressive platform that has ever been
written for political party of the
state, the Republicans are conduct
ing an aggressive fight throughout the
state, says the Baltimore American, for
the support of the people for their can
didates. United and accordant, they
are setting forth the principles of the
party. Without modification. they are
declaring for the reforms that this par
ty is committed to put into effect. The
record of the Republican party IN MARY
land has been clean and high-minded.
That party has consistently stood for
the things that Mr.. Parran so ably set
forth in his address at Annapolis. 1t
has stood for the wiping out of the het
erogenous election laws. 1t has stood
for short simple ballot and for easy
and fair election methods. 1t has stood
for uniformity of election laws for the
counties.
The people of the state are awaken
ing to the fact that Maryland is not
sufficiently organic; that it is made up
OF a collection of counties between
which there is too little in harmony.
There is absolutely no reason why there
should not be a uniform election law
passed by the General Assembly, except
that the DemocrOtic party has counted
upon fake ballots and trick elections in
some of the counties for their success
and in all parts of the state have almost
uniformly been fat-footed against
simplifying and unifylng the electio on
laws. SO that the envelope system that
is inimcal to easy and honest expression
of the voter S intentions is a device that
corrupts the primary elections where
the practice is in force. The costs Of
the primaries are so heavy that only a
wealthy man, as a rule, can afford to as
pire to the United States Senate in this
State. Mr. Parran in his broadside way
carries his audiences with him in his ar
raignment of the Democratic party for
remissness in the past and by his clear
and unassailable declaration of the pro-
gressiveIsm of the Republican party in
its platform, in its accord and It's men.
The Democratic party more today
than ever before needs to rely upon the
devious devices of deceiving election
laws IN order to hold its power. For the
Democratic party is hopelessly divided
between theso-called progressive groups
and the conservatives. 1t is party Of
subterfuge. 1t is party of indirection,
1t is party of assumptions that at
times becomes arrogant. 1t is impoSsi-
BILE to obtain two views that agree
among the Democratic leaders of the
state upon any matter of general or
local policy Such a condition is border
ing upon political chaos. The people
of Maryland have been seeking for two
decades to elevate its political standard
and to promote its industrial wellbeing.
In all this work they have felt the
handicap of Democratic leadership with
! It's local viewpoints, its narrow, selfish
and partisan activity, its factions and
its falseness All this time they have
realized the coherencY, the capacity
and the correctness of the positions of
the Republican party, effective even
when not successful.

THE American Issue, organ of the
Anti-Saloon League, sent out a number
of questions to be answered by the
candidates on the legislative tickets in
this county. In last weeks paper Mr..
Anderson saya;
All of the Republicans have answered
satisfactorily. Senator Speicher made
his primary campaign on a straight local
option pledge.
Only one Democrat has answered,
William A. Gender. Messrs. Thomas
johnson, candidate for the Senate. and
Thomas Little, the other candidate for
the House, the Democrats having
named only two, have not replied and
of course the Republicans are entitled
to the support of the temperance people
upon this showing. Mr.. E. C. Cuppett,
the Independent candidate. has also
answered the questions in the .affirma-
tive.

When little Jack Frost comes to town,
He wears a suit of red and brown;
He visits all the fields and hills,
And all the little dancing rills;
He breathes upon the flowers and trees,
And every pretty plant he sees;
Then, all at once, the rills are still;
The flowers fade on field and hill;
The grass is withered and we see
No leaf that's green on bush or tree;
Nature is dressed IN red and brown
After Jack frost has been in town.

An APOLOGY By The Editor.

We feel that we owe an apology to
several who were connected with the
fair held recently and who contributed
in no little way in making it such a
great success, Four of those whose
names were not mentioned in connec-
ton with the fair were Messrs. j. A.
Kelley, c. E. Otfutt, Wade IL. Hine-
baugh and Jack Stevenson, the super
visors of the live stock department.
These four gentlemen contributed as
much to the success of the undertaking
as any others who were connected
Herewith and the oversight on our
part we wish to assure our friends was
unintentional and is greatly regretted.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-10-23

Messrs. Speicher, Harvey. Savage and
Shartzer are the regular Republican
nominees; Mr.. E. C. Cuppett is Re-
publican. but is an independent candi-
date; Messrs. William A. Gender and
C. V. Guard are the regular nominees
on the Democratic ticket.
All the Republican candidates have
answered the questions of the ANTI
Saloon League satisfactorily, while
only Messrs. Gender and Guard of the
Democratic nominees have answered
satisfactorily, the other candidates
having made no reply.
In view of the fact that the candidate
for the Senate, and one candidate for
the House on the Democratic ticket
have refused to pledge themselves to
the support of the Local Option Bill the
two candidates, Messrs. Gender and
Guard deserve great credit for the
stand they have taken and merit the
confidence of the voters of Garrett
county.
The gentlemen who have failed to re-
spond should have done so IN justice to
themselves, and to the persons whose
votes they are seeking, but for reasons
best known to themselves. and to be
guessed at by others. thus forfeit
their right to expect support from that
class of voters who demand to know
the principles for which men stand who
seek to represent them in the leglsla-
tive halls of Maryland.
Respectfully.
S. T. JONES.
