MaryIand's Big Pack

Marylanders may well be proud OF
their canning record this year, for the
State ranks first by wide margin in
the canning of tomatoes and is also well
up among the leaders in the canning of
corn. In round numbers Maryland pack
ing factories put up nearly six and one
half million cases Of tomatoes, for the
pack 1912, as compared with $500. 900
cases in 1911, 3.67s, 900 cases in 1910.
four and half million cases in 1909, and
three quarters of million in 1908. II
will thus be seen that the tomato crop
for 1912 in Maryland ran towards two
million cases more than for any year
back to 1907.
Delaware, a sister State. was second
in the tomato pack for 1912, with |, 50O.-
900 cases and New Jersey was third
with 1890 cases. Indiana packed 7S4-
600 cases: New York, about half mil
lion cases; Missouri. 435. 900 cases; Vir-
inia, and West Virginia combined, 1882. 600
cases; Washington, Colorado and Cali
fornia, about $4,000 cases and other
States bringing up the grand total
little over II, 900, 900 cases. as compared
with total Of 1850. 900 cases for 1911.
OF peas. Maryland packed in 1912,
$50, 600 cases. as compared with BOG. 900
cases in 1911 and 200. 900 cases in 1910.
The total pack of peas in the country
for 1912 was 1907. 900 cases.

ALL 8 VOTES
FOR WILSON
Maryland Electors Are Solid For
First Time Since 1900.
Meet In Annapolis

Maryland's eight Presidential electors
met at Annapolis Monday and cast
their votes for Woodrow Wilson. Of
New Jersey. for President. and Thomas
X. Marshall, Of Indiana, for Vice-Presi-
dent.
II was the first time since 1900 that
the State has cast solid vote for the
nominees of one party. In 1904 and again
in 1908 the electoral vote of Maryland
was divided.
The electors met in the historic old
State Senate chamber, where George
Washington resigned his commission as
commandment -chief Of the Continental
Army. The meeting was called to
order by William N. Woodward. Deputy
Clerk of the Circuit Court of Anne
Arundel County. who administered the
oath. and James McC. Trippe, Speaker
Of the House of Delegates, who is an
elector, acted as temporary chairman.
William Shepard Bryan was elected per-
manent chairman.
The only fight was that for the Sec
retaryship Of the delegation. but before
nominations could be made this was
smCothed out. The candidates for the
secretaryship were James w. Owens,
of Annapolis. and A. S. Goldsborough.
Each is said to have had four votes
pledged. To prevent contest Robert
Z. Lee, the Mayors secretary, sug-
gested that Mr.. Owens be elected Sec
rotary and Mr.. Goldsborough messen-
ger, and this was done. John X. Sulli-
van. Annapolis, was elected sergeant
alarms.
After the committee was organized
DR.. Frank 7. Shaw and Col. Albert w.
Sisk were named to notify Governor
Goldsborough that the electors were in
session, and the returns of the presi-
dental election were brought down by
Secretary of State Robert p. Graham.
Under the provisions of the United
States Constitution the electors balloted.
after which the returns were made out
in triplicate form and signed by the
electors.
The electors. with several State ofiic-
ials, were entertained by the Governor
at luncheon in the Executive Mansion.
The electors are William Shepard Bryan,
DIR. l.. c. Carrico. Col. Albert W. Sisk,
Col. f. Austin Baughman, James McC.
Trippe. Robert L. Lee. James Thomas
Truitt and DIR. Frank I. Shaw. Others
at the Governor luncheon were Attor-
ney- General Edgar Allen Poe, Adit.-
Gen. Charles F. Macklin. A. S. Coli :
borough. Secretary of State Graham.
Treasurer Murray vandiver and Comp
troller Emerson C. Harrington.
The Legislature appropriated $500 for
the expenses of the electors. Each re-
ceived $50. and the remaining 500 was
divided between Messrs. Owens, Colds
borough and Sullivan. Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough will carry returns to the President
of the United States Senate, and will
be allowed 90 cents mile for travelling
expenses by the Federal Government.

A MERGER OF PUBLIC
UTILITIES PROPOSED

pies Gas. Light and Coke company.
James A. Patten, the wheat king" by
the way, was one of the men in the
deal and was voted a directorship in
the newly organized company. While
insult was completing what was con-
sidered to be practical merger of all
the light. heat and power interests OF
Chicago. Blair was in the east negot-
ating for the amalgamation OF all the
city's surface railways. Il is not Sc
cret that the merger of the surface
lines is to be followed by a similar
combination of the elevated railways
and that the two transportation com
bines are to be merged into one gigan-
tic corporation, the promoters hope at
least to bring all the transportation
lines into working agreement before
the first OF next year. The next big
move that LaSalle street interests ex-
poets is a merger OF the two big mer-
gers into one. that will dominate the
transportation, heating, power and
light situation not only in Chicago but
in several northern Illinois counties
and cities, where the insult crowd have
control.
The Chicago Telephone company, the
single big public utility outside the
program has a merger plan of its own
hanging fire. For several weeks the
financial hackers OF the company have
been attempting to get the city council
to consent to the purchase of the llli-
nois Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, the automatic phone concern,
and its only rival in the local field.
This proposed merger is being held
up, pending information from Attorney
General McReynolds as to whether or
not It would violate the Sherman act.
