The Baltimore Sun Says Vote
For Smith and Stand by
Wilson.

On Tuesday last the Baltimore sun
endorsed Senator John Walter Smith in
strong editorial the essential parts OF
which are as follows
The real and great issue before the
pcoplc is whether Mr Wilson course
and general attitude in public affairs
shall be approved and that issue is as
much involved in the election Of the
thirty Senators who arr To be- chosen a
in the election Of members Of the House
Of Representatives. For that reason.
rs we'll a. because Of his own record IN
this Congress. we have no hesitation IN
earnestly recommending the Democratic
voters of the State To return Senator
John Walter Smith to the Senate. as
well a. solid Democratic delegation TO
the lower branch of Congress
Whatever differences of opinion there
may have been among Democrats rs to
senator Smiths position with regard to
tariff and other questions before the
beginning Of this administration. there
can be none as to his course since Mr.
Wilson , nomination and election He
may have preferred. and indeed did
prefer. another man n the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. but after
the party had decided, he fell into line
with his customary loyalty, and since
Mr. Wilson, inauguration no member
oi the Senate ha, supported him and
all his policies more unswcryiugly thnn
senator Smith.
We would have been glad il senator
Smith had been an original Wilson man
and if he had always taken the advanced
party view Of the tariff and of other
progressive measures But the mpor
tant point now Is. not how ne voted
-four or five years ago, but how he has
been voting during the last eighteen
months And the record of those
eighteen months answers the question
in which voters are now Interested and
gives assurance that he can be depended
upon 70 stand By the man who repre-.
