BALTIMORE. Md. MAY Il, 1913.
The bull moose leaders and their CO.
horts that made the welkin ring during
the campaign Of last year are slowly
filing back into the republican fold. and
the indications are now that the new re-
publican party of Maryland will be in
shape to put up rafting good fight in
the coming fall elections. The policy of
give and take will be followed in the re-
organization of the party and the offices
will be parceled out share and share
alike when the committees are reorgan-
lied
II is safe TO assert that there will be
little no wrangling when the two
forces meet at an early date, Yet TO be
selected. az the leaders of the two wings
have about reached an understanding,
and it is planned to have the reunitins
of the forces take place without the
slightest friction.
Reports from the bull moose camp are
TO the effect that the ward leaders are
ready 10 come back without any condi-
tions, having been assured by the big
wigs that they will be duly recognized
i'm the party organization. The plan is
that the republicans will have executives
in twelve wards and the progresSiveS d
like number in the remaining dozen
wards which make up Baltimore city.
The same plan will in all likelihood be
carried out in the counties.
Ii is a peculiar fact. Yet nevertheless
a fact that there is no desire TO fight
among themselves and the bull moosers
and the standpatters seem eager to get
at the common enemy-the democratic
party. The situation today demonstrates
one thing. and that is that the bull moose
faction was not dissatisfied so much
with the republican party as ii was with
the leaders who had been at the helm in
the city and state for years. As one of
the bull moose leaders put ii to The star

RICHMOND, Va. May H. 1913.
From various parts of the state reports
are coming to the effect that the people
are beginning to arouse themselves and
will make a vigorous and determined eff
fort to shake off the burden of what Is
alleged TO be unjust taxation. The
merchants are complaining Of the hard
ship the farmer is saying that his load
is too heavy, men'in certain lines of bust
ness complain that they are victims of a
double tax and the money lenders are
saying that they are taxed three times.
One of the features of the discussions
that has appeared is that the business
men who are Going much of the kicking
are numbered among those who appeared
before the grand jury in the various
counties and cities and We're found to be
short in the returns for taxation. Just
how many millions of dollars were added
to the assessments is not yet determined.
but the state will receive something like
s1OO, 900 additional taxes as a result Of
the investigation.
1t is believed that out of the chaotic
and obsolete laws OF the state something
tangible will come to even up things. The
trend of the discussion has been that there
are too many counties-there are seven
ty-one-which are getting from the state
treasury some $60OO00 more than they
nav in 1t is also alleged that the coun-
ties which are drawing SO heavily on the
state are among the richest. have the
largest pension list, get the best schools.
have more crime and are noted for the
I prolongation of trials with an enormous
number of witnesses for the state and
for the defense. Then, too. the counties
are supposed to be dry, but the records
show that liquor cases form large part
of the litigation.

Will Restore Republican Votes.

The republican leaders here are iubi-
liant over the decision of the circuit court
of Frederick county that the qualifica-
tons for voters for Frederick county
where the grandfather clause has been
operative since 1894. j. unconstitutional
They claim that this decision will have
the effect OF restoring To the poll lists
many votes for the republican party. 1t
is worthy Of note that Justice Worthirlg-
ton OF the court Of appeals. who concur
red III the opinion of Judges Crner and
Peter. was chairman of the committe
which drafted the act the other members
Smith. John Wood and Senator Jacob
RohJbach.
Judge Worthington, after the decision
had been handed down, stated that when
the law was drawn eminent lawyers in
Baltimore had framed what was then
known as the Poe amendment. and that
the committee that drew the Frederick
law did not go into fun inyestgat ton
OF the constitutionality of the act. but
lad followed the general line of the Poe
bill He said that instead Of an educa-
tional qualification a property qualifica-
ton had been inserted.
I'm the decision of the United States
Supreme Court none has squarely met the
issue involved here said Judge Wor-
Ellington. Il had thought the fifteenth
amendment did not apply 10 municipal
elections, but | have recently found a
dissenting opinion by Justice Hunt in
case where he did decide the amend
nent did apply to municipalities For
this reason | concluded that the Fred
erick law Is unconstitutional and .hara
