TO MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS.

There is pending I'm this county a |
contest for nomination Of Democratic
candidates for public Office, and also
contest for the governing body of
the Democratic party in the County
and State.
I consider it the duty of every DEM
ocrat to 60 to the Primary election on
September Sth, and vote according to
the dictates of his conscience; and
every man ought to be accorded the
privilege of advocating the election of
faithful public servants and the right
to condemn corrupt methods in Pri-
mary and General elections.
In 1911, candidates for important
offices were nominated by less than
one-fourth of the Democratic voters
in the county.
Is it not burning shame that after
the people have secured the right and
privilege OF selecting their public ser
wants that they quietly remain at
home and permit selfish politicians to
control nominations and elections.
Do not permit few selfish political
tricksters to deceive you by misrep-
resentation; do not give them the
power to become your masters to
your everlasting shame and regret.
Two years hence there will be
nominated a Clerk Of Court, Register
Of Wills, State Senator, three Judges
of the Orphans Court, a County Com
missioner, States Attorney, four Dele
gates, County Treasurer and
Sheriff, as well as Governor,
! Attorney General and Comptroll
or or the Treasury, and by all
means do not permit by your vote
or omission to vote any gang to get
control OF your party, which would
prevent the nomination and election
of faithful public servants whom the
people may desire; every man should
have square deal.
Go to the Primary election and ex-
ercise your American manhood and
see to it that such men as President
Woodrow Wilson, Senator Blair Lee
and DIR. Thomas j. Coonan are placed
on guard, and see to it that the Wilson
ticket as published I'm this paper re-
ceives your earnest support.
Respectfully,
MICHAEL E. WALSH.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

While there is, at the present time,
no subject that is engaging American
thought more fully than this, and
which leads to the apprehension Of
serious international difficulty, it Is
not generally. believed by those who
are best able to judge Of such matters,
that the questions pending between the
countries will lead to war, but that
they will be satisfactorily settled be
tween the two countries.
Mexico has never been a very salts
factory neighbor to the United States,
and on several occasions we have had
to deal very positively with. her. LIN
1886, during the administration OF
President Polk, it became necessary to
administer a pretty severe chastise-
ment to her. There is really no rea-
son to work the present situation uI
into frenzy and we are sure Presi-
dent Wilson will do nothing of the
kind. He il a safe and cautious man
and we have great confidence that the
present trouble will be settled with
out seriously disturbing the two
countries.
Tt is unfortunate that we should
have this small monarchy right be-
side u on this continent, and especial
~ as it may be the source of trouble
with our view of the "Munroe doc
trine," by other nations.
We do not believe that any of the
nations has O. desire to 60 to war with
the United States, and with moder-
ately conservative President we do
not believe that this country will be
entangled with any other nation in
war.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1913-08-22

Then. we believe also, that there is
a general desire for peace among all
nations, and that this feeling Is
spreading everywhere among all peo-
Die. All these influences ought 10

THAW ESCAPES FROM MATTEA'
WAN

The sensational, escape OF Harry Is
Thaw from the State Hospital Tor the
Criminal Insane at MatteaWan Is an
other act in the tragedy that had It's
beginning in New York City on the
night of June %, 1906 when 1haW
drew a revolver and fired three bullets
into the body of Stanford White, an
architect Of international fame.
The verdict OF the twelve jurors
who tried Thaw, was: I'VE find ne
defendant not guilty, on the ground OF
his insanity at the time Of the CON-
mission Of the act"
The Court order by Judge Victor }.
Bowling after the verdict was: That
the said Harry K. Thaw be detained
in safe custody and be sent to the
Matteawan State Hospital, there TO be
kept in said hospital until thence dis
charged by due course of law"
This most degraded tragedy OF
criminal history has been almost con-
stantly before the public by reason
of the wealth of Thaw's family, which
since his incarceration has managedto
secure a round of hearings and judg-
ments on his mental condition, and
which has finally accomplished his
flight from the asylum from which he
could not be set free by "due course
of law"
According to the physicians serti-
ficate Thaw is paranoiac and a most
dangerous person to be at large, hay
ing all the subtlety of the confirmed
maniac, while showing few out
ward evidences of any insanity.
There appears to be no law
by which a man can be extradited as
an insane criminal, when he has been
pronounced not guilty Of the crime Of
murder because of his impaired men
tai faculties.
On Tuesday Thaw was arrested near
Coaticook, Quebec, and committed to
Jail in Sherbrooke ON defective war
rant. Until Wednesday. of next week,
barring unforeseen developments, he
will remain in Jail. On that day he
is to be arraigned in the Superior
Court on a writ Of habeas corpus.
Between now and that time his bat
terry of Canadian lawyers hopes to
perfect plans not to thwart deporta-
ton, but to submit to it gracefully
to a point selected by Thaw.

be wise, and the greatest wisdom Is to |

opinion is like standing water and |

COLONY COMING
To GEORGIA SOIL
Northerners Will Divide 10000
Acres in Pierce County Into
Small Truck Farms.

Governor Brown was in receipt 20
day of a letter telling of an ambitious
colonization scheme for Southeast
Georgia. which has been launched by
a large land company of Chicago.
The purchase of 10000 acres in
Pierce County and the obtaining q
an option on an additional $4,000
acres were the first steps in the
project.
E. w. Stees, the representative Of
the American Realization Company.

his attention was called TO the value
of Georgia land by laudatory articles
that he had read, and that on March
20 he left Chicago for a personal in

Il am still at loss to describe the
wonderful possibilities of your State"
he wrote. After ten days of travel
by automobile, carriage and on foot
over Pierce County, ! made my pur-
chase and obtained tine option on the
additional land"
The 10000 acres, near Waycross,
will be divided into $500 20-acre
farms and will be colonized with Ger
man and Swede families. and also
will be used as an inducement in
checking the tide of American i'm
migration into Canada.
