LIGHT ON THE THIRD TERM

Not least entertaining OF the Mulhall
disclosures are some references to Mr..
Roosevelt and the thrd-term idea 1t has
been generally supp )sed that the third
term bee got INTO Mr.. ROOSevelt'S head
fte- he retired from Office and when he
reflected on how much more bully ii was
to be President than it WAS to be an eX-
President. We know thai it found lodg-
ment before Mr.. Taft was elected.
Watson, It should be remembered was
the Indiana Republican Congressman to
whom Mr.. Roosevelt wrote a long letter
insisting on the vital importance of sup.
porting the Republican party on the tariff
issue. Nulhall wrote to the secretary OF
the president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, April IS, 1908;
Watson states that the President is
moving heaven and earth to nominate
Taft; that he is willing to sacrifice the
Sherman law aud every other law TO
please the Trusts and to please Wall
street, 50 that he can get their support
for his candidate at Chicago.
Remember that this evidence of the
enthusiasm of Theodore in the support Of
VIII and the characteristic willingness to
abandon everything else in orderto attain
the main thing, is not that Of Mnlhall, but
of Watson, the Republican whip, and
necessarily very closely connected with
Mr. Roosevelt
There was another letter the date OF
which is not given, but it is apparently
la,tr. and Watson had iust had an inter-
view with Nh Rooseteit:
He stated that the main reason for the
call was that Speaker Cannon, Vice Presl-
dent Fairbanks and several other leaders
wanted to find out how the President
stood in regard t' a :hird term.
After Watson had talked with Presi-
dent Roosevelt about pending legislation
and had told him tia, the proposed
amendments of the Sherman law would
not 90 through. because almost al! the
manufacturing interests We're opposed
Watson began to draw out the President
on the subject of third term. saving that
when the 80 indiana delegates found they
could not nominate Mr.. Fairbanks they
would b. likely to throw their votes TO
the President Mr. Roosevelt, said he
thought not; that Mr.. Taft was his can
dldate"
Then the subtle Watson SAID it would
be hard job to elect Mr. Taft, and he
feared that if Mr. Taft were the candidate
he would not carry Indiana:
He then said that the President hem
med and hawed and said he was out OF
it, that he may have made mistake by
the announcement he made after his cleo
ton, but that he had made the announce
ment and he thought he ought now to
stick TO it. He then asked Mr.. Watson
that if he lRooseveltl was the candidate
could he carry Indiana Watson replied
yes, by $4,000 and if he. the President
was the candidate. then Watson and the
other nominees in Indiana could go fish
ing. Mr. Watson said that this seemed
to please the President
Watson wrote to Mulhall that Ibis in
terview with the President impressed him
as if the President certainly wanted a
third term" AS far back as 1908 MIR
Roosevelt was regretting his rashnesS of
four years before in saying that he would
under no circumstances take that third
cup of coffee. -Philadelphia Record.

No More Hitching Of Teams on
Market Street on Saturday.

His Honor Mayor Fraley is determined
TO eliminate the congestion on Market
street on Saturdays OF teams, autos, &c
His aim is TO relieve traffic in the busl-
ness section Of the city, and his idea rel
alive to the relief, is to use the City Hall
Court for the hi;Chng OF teams and place
same in custody Of an officer
Some persons have demonstrated that
this proposition will drive country trade
from thu city and will rather be a detri-
ment than benefi to the city They also
say that it will hurt the business of the
merchants.
The Mayor answers these complaints
b. citing that Batin ore and other large
cities do not permit such congestion of
trafli. and if Frederick is to grow it is
time to correct these condition Mr..
Fraley says he believes those who come
to Frederick will he glad to place their
teams in the market space where they
will be guarded and be out OF danger.

VARIOUS statesmen and ex-statesmen,
chiefly the latter, are loudly DENYING the
truth Of the Mulhall statement but that
Protectionist members of Congress got all
the help they could from the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers is the most
natural thing in the world, and not less
natural is the effort OF the association To
promote the election of Protectionists and
men aniagonistic to organized labor.
Probably the association did not induce
any low tariff man TO vote for high duty,
and the ethical question involved is
whether the money given to Congress
men was bride or political contribu-
ton

Well Done.

Governor Goldsborough in deciding to
issue writ of election for the short term
Senatorship this year has acted wisely and
in the best interest of the State.
The logical orderly thing for the Gov
ernor to do was to seek the opinion Of
the Attorney-General of the State. He
has done so He has followed the
Acknowledgement $ advice. In short, he
has done Just what he should do; and
that being the happy outcome. it matters
not that he deliberated so long about 1t.
His decision is to be commended; not
the less because it was somewhat against
the more immediate interests of his own
party Baltimore News

Band Concerts.

We sincerely hope that sufficient sum
of money will be contributed for the free
concerts to be given during the month of
July and August, for the benefit of those
who are unable to leave the city for a
brief recreation, also for those who ap-
preciate good music Some years ago
these concerts were gwen at the Court
House park and were most popular, many
from the country were in attendance.

REPORTS from all sections of this
county, indicate a heavier wheat crop
this year than last. The crop is not a
large one, but the wheat is exceptionally
well filed, and with a good growth of
straw. 1t is estimated that the average
yield will be from fifteen to twenty
bushels per acre, and this year the free
dom from the fly is also noticeable,
which the farmers claim is due to the
fact that,al of the sowings were made
later than usual.

should he be a candidate for the short
term, the President could not and would
not interfere in the Maryland situation
While Mr.. Bruce is anxious to get the
support of the organization for the Seua-
torship, he has in the past done little or
nothing for the organization. On many
occasions he has fought the organization
with all his power. Some Democrats be-
lieve that eventually Mr.. Isaac Lobe

the general situation.
Edward c. Darlington, IT,, who will
have the support of Governor Goidsbor-
ough and some of the Progressives for
the Republican nomination for the short
term United States Senatorship, if he
should be a candidate, is making quiet
campaign among his friends. Some
months ago Senator Jackson announced
that he would not be a candidate for the
short term. Those who are close to Sen
ator Jackson say that he prefers for some
other to make the race for this office and,
should he be a candidate for Senator at
all, it will be for the long term as the sue
cessor of Senator John Walter Smith.
While Colonel Darlington has apparently
succeeded in bringing to his standard
Governor Goldsborough and Chairman
John B. Hanna, Of the Republican State
Central Committee, and a number of
leading and active Republicans are also
regarded as being favorable TO Mr. Car
rngton's candidacy, yet it is definitely
known that hundreds of other Republ-
cans are violently hostile to Darlington
and should he enter the race they would
fight him not only for the nomination but
for the election. Carrlngton would not
bv any means get the support of many
ProgreSsives, men who fought shoulder 10
shoulder with him in the last national
campaign, but would resent his desertion
OF the Progressivc's standards and prin-
ciples now, in an effort to amIagamate
the Republican and Progressive parties.

BLAIR LEE FOR U NIT E D
STATES SENATOR.

STATES SENATOR.
The people Of Maryland will elect a
Senator to the United States Senate at
the election this fall.
An amendment TO the Constitution OF
the United States, which was ratified on
February Doth, 1913, provides that
hereafter United States Senators shall b"
elected directly by vote OF the people
Governor ''oIds3orou2h n'" says that he
will issue writ Tor the ce,uon' ana 1t
only remains now for the voters OF the
State to elect United states Senator
II Is needless to say that tins Is Il very
Important election because the selection
OF a United States Senator Is always mn
portant. and this time 1t Is OF more than
ordinary Importance, II possible, than 1t
has been for many years,
First, because Of the important func'
tons Of United State senator at this
critical stage OF our national interests
and next because the people are expected
to prove their fitness and capacity to
elect their Senators by general election
directly.
Western Maryland, it seems to us, is
entitled to have the Senator who Is to be
elected this fall, This Is especially true
as applied to the Democratic voters,
Western Maryland has never had but
two Democratic United States Senators
since the formation of this government.
The first United States Senator was
Richard Potts, who was elected and took
MS seat February 4th, 1913, to sue
coed Charles Carroll in the second Con-
grs'' and held the seat until October
1876, when he resigned. lie was an
ancestor OF Arthur Potts Esq
The only other Democratic United
States Senator was lion. William l.
Hamilton, OF HaSersto~n, who was
elected IN l362' and serve one term and
was succeeded by Hon FInckney
"hyte IN 1879.
1t seems to Us that the Democratic
vote OF " es'ern Maryland the general
intelligence OF It's population the pres
peri'y OF It's people the large aud mn

the state ought to be e'"r''IlnS miiu-

ton, even If other things were equal.
Bat all other considerations are not
equal, because Western Maryland pre-
SCENTS the man pre- emmently fitted to bill
the office Of United States Senator
Western Maryland presents as its can
didate the Hon. Blair Lee, Of Mont
gomery county. We donot believe that
the claims Of Blair Lee will be disputed
by any section Of the S,'te nor BY any
considerable number Of the Democratic
voters. OF course, the Democratic
