To the Editor of The Republican.
The time tor the primary election,
when the Republicans of Garrett county
will be called upon to make their choice
from among the several aspirants for
places on the ticket, is rapidly approach
ing. 1t is well to scan the list closely,
especially the names of those who aspire
to be members of the House # Dele
gates, and select a ticket of sober, de-
cent and respectable men, so that the
whole party can line up enthusiastically
behind our nominees and carry the whole
ticket to victory. If you are not thor
oughlv acquainted with the aspirants,
confer with your Republican neighbor,
and If you find the name of man on it
who has made failure of everything
that he ever undertook to do, or who
dares not own property IN his own name
for fear his creditors will seize it. or
who is not assessed with a dollars
worth of property, and does not pay

respectable man in the county who does
not agree with him, or whose conten-
tious disposition has cost the taxpayers
Of Garrett county more money than it
would take to build mile of good road

The Annual Sneeze Fest.

The following from Fridays Winches-
ter Star is not to be sneezed at:
Saturday is the date for the official
opening of the hay fever season, and
scores of local people, sufferers from
the disease, started sneezing and cough
ing promptly on schedule time.
Some few enterprising individuals
the kind who are always a little bit
ahead of every one else on almost every
thing began using II handkerchief a
day some time ago, but the real victim,
closely observant of the best traditions,
deferred his initial paroxysm until today.
Science has not yet determined the
cause or causes of hay fever. Pollen
from ragweed, hay dust, the dust of the
roads, pollen of other weeds besides the
ragweed that blooms at this season, and
the pestilence that turks in the autumn
blossoming golden-rod, all have been at
one time or another stigmatized as the
melting cause OF the annual plague of
sneezing, and all have later been exon
Grated, at least by many doctors.
If bacillus or germ brings on the
disease science has not yet been able to
trail the organism to its lair, and until
a definite cause is found physicians
declare no specific can be located that
will bring about cure.

artificial argument for boost in meat
prices. He also said the first thread of
higher meat prices came from Chicago.
Mr.. Underwood believes the free meat
and free cattle provisions in the Tariff
bill ultimately will have the effect of
reducing prices to the American con-
sumner. Mr.. Underwood does not think
the Canadian cattle can be used as a
lever to beat down the meat prices, as
the cost of production is greater in
Canada than in this country. He also
sees little hope for relief from South
America, on account of the poor ship
ping facilities from that country to
North America. He is of the opinion
that more hope lies in the establish
ment of peace in Mixico, as the United
States can then look to that country for
cheaper beef.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-08-28
MEAT FAMINE FEARED.

Leaders IN Congress have unofficialIy
taken notice of the rumored meat
famine. Congressman Kinkead. of
New Jersey, the House expert on the
Beef Trust investigation, charges that
the trust is taking the reports of COM
ing meat famine for the purpose of
putting up the price of meat.
Chairman Underwood, of the WAYS
and Means Committee, gives no hope of
immediate benefit to the consumers from
the free meat and free cattle provisions
in the Tariff bill. as he fears the
Western drought will cause a meat
shortage.
Mr.. Kinkead wants beef from
Argentina. Australia and Canada per-
mitted to enter this country under less
severe restrictions. To ascertain if
this could be done he visited the Agri-
cultural Department to get the amend
ment to the Quarantine laws against
beef from those countries. Mr.. Kinkead
believes that the admission of beef from
those countries can be be easily done by
shipping through properly inspected
houses in this country. If the foreign
beef is brought in he is confident it will
tone down the Beef Trusts prices in
this country.
MIR. Kinkead said the short-crop scare
was put out by the Beef Trust as an

STATE POLITICS.

After a long period of apparent list
lessness there are unmistakable signs
of aroused and statewide interest in
home politics. In twelve counties of
the state and one legislative district of
Baltimore city there are to be contests
which are now promising lively scram-
BILE in the primary election of Septem-
Der s. In many of the counties and in
all of the legislative districts of Balti-
more City there will be hot contest in
the primaries for General Assembly po-
sitions on the Democratic ticket. While
primary contests for places upon the
Republican ticket will not be so much
the fashion, it has become convincingly
apparent that, throughout the state and
in every ward and precinct of Balti-
more the Republican party is alert.
There is to be real electoral contest
in Maryland next November that seems
to be assured.
1t is certain that the next legislative
assembly will be composed to very
large extent of new material. Many of
those who have eXerted conspicuous
influence as members'of one or the other
branch of the State Assembly during
the past several sessions are not candi-
pates for reelection. New candidates
for the lower branch will be in the run
ming in practically all of the counties
and in Baltimore city and it is quite
possible 70 per cent Of the membership
of the 1914 Assembly may be of men
who have never before served in the
state legislature.
The next Assembly will have many
important questions to deal with. The
state election to be held this year is of
immense impOrtance-as important as
any previous election in the history of
the state.

CRnIcIsEs HE OUTSIDE BALLOT

Charles Benedict Calvert, College
Park. Md, writes the Baltimore Sun
criticIsing the outside ballot, for
which Blair Lee is responsible:
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: take
1t for granted that the Sun is always
willing to fight for measures that will
insure honest elections in MARYLAND, and
| therefore urge the support of certain
amendments to the Primary and Cor
rupt Practices acts.
''What is known as the "outside bal
lot'' was termed by the late Governor
Crothers ''the open door for corruption
and boss rule, "and the "teamhire" and
messenger" features of the Corrupt
Practices act cannot be defended except
upon the plea that they allow prac-
teal defiance of the ostensible purpose
of the law.
In the last Gubernatorial primary in
Prince Georges county 125 ballots were
marked the night before the primary in
one election district for slate of candi-
dates and s$400 was spent in this dis
trict to vote most of said ballots under
the guise of messengers and team hire.
On the same primary election about
$1,000 was spent in Prince Georges
county by both of the candidates for
Governor, together with the expendi-
lures made by the candidates for local
offices. In one district in the county
$50 was paid for team and $50, S25 and
SIS are frequently stated in the.reports
flied by the subtreasurer as spent for
team hire.
Can those who are in favor of the en-
forcement of honest elections justify
these expenditures? Are the provisions
in the law referred to intended or need
ed for any honest purpose?

Resolutions of Respect.

Oakland, Md, Sunday Aug. II, 1913.
AT the session of St. Paul's NJ. Z.
Sunday school this morning the follow
ing resolutions were read, and after
few very impressive remarks by Rev. J.
NJ. Davis, superintendent emeritus, and
Rev. A B. Riker, pastor, were unani-
mously adopted:
. Whereas, St. Paul's NJ. E. Sunday
school has learned Of the death of one of
Its faithful and most consistent mem
bers in the person of our beloved friend
and brother, William A. Maffett, who
during the course of his residence among
US always evinced a strong, loyal and
faithful interest in everything which
pertalned to the welfare of our school,
and who was always most careful that
his own children were prompt in their
attendance upon the sessions Of fine
school as well as the services of the
church, and by his example did much to
train them IN every good work connect
ed with the cause of Christ for which he
stood and
Whereas, Aside from his interest in
the church and the Sunday school, as
public official and conservator of the
peace of the community, he was always
prompt IN the discharge of every duty
devolving upon him in his official capac-
lty as well as standing at all times for
the best in good citizenship and personal
and private well doing; and
Whereas, Cut off as he has been in
the flower of his manhood and at a time
when he gave promise of long life of
usefulness to family, church and state.
we can only mourn with his loved ones
IN their sad bereavement and great loss.
Therefore be it resolved, That st.
Paul's NJ. f. Sunday school of Oakland,
by the death of Brother Maffett has
lost one of its most ardent, consistent
and steadfast friends, the church
faithful member, the community one of
It's best citizens and his family true,
loving husband and father. and that our
sympathies are hereby extended to them
IN this their sad hour and our PRAYERS
ascend for them that they may be com
forted and blest and that the separation
they are now undergoing will finally end
in an eternal reunion on heavens blest
shower.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutlOnS be spread upon the minutes of
the Sunday school, copy furnished the
newspapers of the town and also copy
sent to his family.
