THE MARYLAND
LEGISLATURE

The Maryland Legislature has con-
tinued a somewhat tame affair this
week, the only thing like "furry'
being the fight in the House of Dele
gates over the Frick Condemnation Bill
for Baltimore City and something of
cease of creeps" in the Senate and
the lobbies occasioned by Senator Will
liams' Bill to abolish the Havre de
Grace Race Track.
Much of the important Legislation,
to be considered at this session for
this State has, however, been shaping
up. A number of the Bills dealing
with big State problems have appear
ed, especially in the Senate, and the
Legislators have been much engaged
in their discussion. In the Senate
matters of local Importance to Cecil
county are as follows:
l. The Bill repeating the Road En-
gineer Law was reported from the
Committee on Roads and Highways,
and referred to a Select Committee,
consisting of Senators Williams, Ar
cher and Shepherd.
2. Senator Williams introduced a
Bill, permitting declaration of inten-
tion for registration" by voter to be
made before Justice of the Peace,
instead of having to be made before
the Clerk of the County.
3. Also Bill permitting Traction
Engines, engaged in threshing, ETC.,
to use the State Roads, which they at
present can only use at the peril of a
prosecution.
a. Also Bill wiping off the stat
+bo old Count uon.o ~,
Bill, which has been standing on the
Statutes unused for a number of
years.
5. Also Bill abolishing the Hav-
re de Grace Race Track, which was
referred to the Judiciary Committee,
of which Senator Benson is Chairman.
Miss Myrtle Armstrong has been
appointed stenographer to the Leg
islature. Miss Armstrong is daugh-
ter of David R. Armstrong, of Port
Deposit.
Under an order, introduced by SEN
ator Benson last week, George X.
Houck, of this county, was appointed
Assistant Secretary to the Senate. Mr..
Houck is a clerk in the store of Mr..
Byron Bouchelle, at Chesapeake City.
The Baltimore Sun thinks President
Price of the Senate, carried the joke
too far when he named Senator Ben
son on the Committee on Civil Service
and Election Reform. Why not name
Benson? He certainly can be as use
ful as any other man to the Demo
cratic Machine in seeing that the
Committee does things strictly ac-
cording to programme Machine pro
gram.
"Sonny" Mahon, the Baltimore City
BOSS, is seen daily at his post at
Annapolis, manipulating legislation
and legislators. He doesn't take the
trouble. these days of bold "buccan-
eering" on the part of the Machine, to
work under cover, but can be seen tip
toeing from one legislator to another
right on the floor.
Lloyd Wilkinson, the Democratic
floor leader of the House of Delegates
says he is not so thin-skinned as to
mind the public criticism of the "raid
on the treasury" which the "boys
have made in the appointment of an
army of ''job-hoders" at Annapolis.

Of his way to cast unjust aspersions

and night after night looking after

or eight. He slept with them, diHsd
with them, and al one time when a

persuaded Senator Christian Siege,

Just before the last State Repub-

mated for Governor. A. f. Wilson,

to be in Frankfort. and gave an in
terview TO Mr.. Dulin Moss, the
Frankfort correspondent of the Gin
cinpati Enquirer. In that interview,
which was published in the Enquir-
er and has never been denied by
Wilson. he said the nomination of
Judge O'Rear would be "a disgrace
to the Republican party and his cleo
tion as Governor would be a calam-
ity to Kentucky" He also told Mr..
Moss. but which was not published.
that O'Rear was might rider" Mr..
Moss is now City Attorney for Frank

fulness are unquestioned. If you do
not believe this write Mr.. Dulin Moss

WILSON'S TODD LETTER.

1t appears that A. E. Wilson, the
Republican candidate for long term
Senator, has rarely ever supported,
actively, any Republican ticket in
his life, unless he was a candidate.
Therefore, he has no claims on Re-
publicans. In this issue we publish
this letter giving his reasons for not
supporting George ID. Todd, the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor in Lou
isville and voting for the Demo-
cratic nominee, Mr.. Weaver. He does
not here give his real reasons. When
he walked out of that convention, he
denounced the delegates as mid
night assassins." Why? Because
these delegates were members of a
secret society. Wilson belongs to no
secret society. He is opposed to Sc
cret orders. He thought the American
Society of Equity was a secret order.
form himself, Therefore he denounc-
ed Judge O'Rear and all the rest of
us as might riders" He was igno-
rant of the whole tobacco troubles,
and he thinks to this day that he
stopped lawlesness with the State
Guards. That is what he told the Ma
tional Bar Association at Detroit, in
that wonderful address, which made
him the laughing stock of the whole
country.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1914-10-23

II is unfortunate that in selecting
a candidate for United States Sena-
tor the Republican party went to
Louisville and the Pendenis Club for
Augustus =. Wilson. What is the
Pendenis Club? 1t is company of
aristocrats who own large build
ing on Walnut street in Louisville in
which they conduct an eating and
drinking establishment, exclusively
for the members and their guests. To
become member of this most eXclu-
sive club one must be rich, have held
some high office, or be a born blue
blood. The members pay 500 year
dues, besides paying for all they eat
and drink. A servant in gold lace
stands guard at the door. Other ser
wants in gold lace serve the wines
and liquors to the members from the
saloon, owned by the club. This is
the social home of the candidate who
expects Ohio county farmers and la
borers to believe in him and vote for
him.

Wilson's Boiling Record.

As a bolter it would be hard to
beat WILSON, record, and as a fair
weather trimmer he is probably with
out a peer among the old stand-pat
Republicans of this or any other
state in the union. This is demon
strated by the following incidents,
in his political career:
la He bOlted the Republican
nominee for Mayor of the City of
Louisville, George d. Todd. in 1897.
Cd He bolted the Republican
nomine for the United States Sen
ate in 1896, and was mainly instru-
mental in causing the defeat of w.
Godfrey Hunter, thus splitting the
party. and putting the State back
into the hands of the Democratic
organization.
Co He was a candidate for the
nomination for governor in 1903,
but was defeated for the nomination
by Colonel Morris Belknap. In a
spirit of selfishness and childish
pique, he left the State and went
into Canada, and refused to open his
mouth or in any way assist in the
election of the regularly nominated
Republican candidate, thus again
boiling the nominee of his party.
cd After having been honored by
being elected to the high Office of
Governor of the State of Kentucky
in 1907, he bolted the ticket again
in 1911, refusing to give his support
to the Republican nominee for gov
ernor, ex-chief Justice Edward c..
O'Rear saying in a public interview
that il would be the greatest calam-
ity that ever befell the State of Ken
lucky, to elect Judge O'Rear as gov
ernOr.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1914-10-23

The only way TO save the Repub-
lican party in Kentucky is to de-
feat Gus Wilson and defeat him ov-
erwhelmingly. AS long as such men
are put forward by the party, no
hope can be had for union of all
the elements which once was able to
combat the Democracy. The Repub-
lican party must be led by men who
are known to be honest and true to
the common people, or it is doomed.
There never was a better time to
make an appeal to the people, not to
those who wear finelinen and eat and
drink at the Pendenis Club, but to
the honest toilers. How can you do
it with such a man as A. E. Wilson
at the head of the ticket?
