REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION

The Republican State Convention
met in Albaugh's Theatre, Baltimore,
on Monday evening, for the purpose
of formally nominating Col. E. C. Car
rington, as the candidate for U. S.
Senator, and adooting a platform up
on which to go before the vtoers in
this campaign. The convention was
presided over by Gen. J. Kemp Bart
lett, after being called to order by
Chairman Galen L. TAFT, the new
chairman of the State Central Com
mittee.
Upon his nomination FOR U. S. SEND
tor, CO... Darlington addressed the con-
vention in vigorous and logical speech
wherein he spoke in part as follows:
The Republican party had its mis-
sion in 1854, when it met for its in
itial convention under the Oaks of
jackson, Mich. 1t had it's mission in
1856, when it held its first national
convention and nominated John G.
Fremont for the Presidency at which
convention it adopted a resolution re-
pudating slavery and polygamy. 1t
had it's mission in 1860, when it nomi-
mated Abraham Lincoln and adopted a
resolution guaranteeing protective
tariff for the maintenance of the
United States government and for the
protection of the American manufac-
turer, farmer and wage-earner. 1t
had its mission in 1896, when it elect
ed William Mckinley on a protective
tariff platform that repudiated a de-
based currency proposal. and which
platform was subscribed to by the
voters of Maryland at the general
election, at which Republican ma
jority of nearly 10000 was rolled up
in this Stase for Mckinley and Hobart.
1t has its mission in 1914, as it will
have in 19l6-to wrest control from
the Democratic party Of the House of
Representative and the United States
Senate.
The Secreary of the Treasury has
sent out an s. O. S. message to the
country to the effect that the banks of
this country are unwilling to lend
their money-and why? Because the
banks of this country, the business
men of this country, the farmers Of
this country have no confidence in the
Democratic policies that have been
put into effect by the administration
in Washington. W. ~ not require
UlOIe HlOIey Ill lillS COuHIfy--We re-
qure more credit, more confdence-in
not only each other, but in those who
are in charge OF the governmental
functions of this country. Business
interests, both large and small, have
no confidence in Democratic politics.
If a Republican Senator is elected by
the people of Maryland together with
a majority of the candidates for the
House of Representatives, it will de-
monstrate to the whole country that
the Republican party is reunited and
that we are at the threshold of good
times and prosperity.
The mission of the Republican par ty
is to restore confidence and by restor-
ing confidence bring about the pros
perity and good times that obtained in
this country after the election of Will
liam Mckinley in 1896.
Vote for me, not because my name
Is Darlington, vote for your candi-
dates for Congress, not because those
gentlemen from the various congress
sional districts are labelled Duer
Mudd, Zihlman, Hammond. Janetzke
and Heaps, but because they bear the
same label that William Mckinley
bore when he lifted this country from
the slough of Democratic despond to
the sunny heights of national pros
perity.
Let US have, my friends, four more
years of the full dinner pail that OBJ
tanned when Republicans were In con
troll of the White House and the two
bodies of our National Congress.
