HOW, neutrality-suspicious.
IN THE STATE OF MARY
LAND BE ALLOTTED BY
PRESIDENT WILSON

This burning question has been rekin-
died by Senator Lee late letter to the
Baltimore News, and We have no desire
to get into the quarrel or the conflict be-
tween the Senator and the newspaper;
but the letter Of the Senator :, and the
editorial of the News in reply to it opens
anew the controversy as to the patronage
and its ultimate distribution.
This is clear cut conflict. Senator
Lee claims it all for certain class OF
Democracy, aud the absolute denial of it
to any all other Democrats, notwith
ing the fact that a year ago he asked the
vote Of all Democrats and got them for
the very seat he now holds in the United
States Senate.
Were not all the Democrats who voted
for him entitled to consideration equally?
This seem 50 to al fair minded persons.
Is Senator Lee entitled to consideration
BY the voters, and they in return not en-
titled TO any from him. The CITIZEN
was warm supporter Of Senator Lee.
The first editorial in his favor was pub
lished in TIE CITIZEN, and was, in our
opinion the strongest endorsement he
had. We regret very much that We DO
not and can not agree either TO the fact
stated in his letter or the conclusion he
reaches. but on the contrary, We are
firmly convinced that the result Of his
policy must inevitably destroy the har-
mony Of the Democratic party and lead
to its defeat by dividing it into two fac
tions.
As to the essential points made in his
letter, referred to above, what new prin-
ciple has the administration added in the
Democratic party since the days of JEFF
ferson to the present? What distinct or
new policy has the administration pro.
posed or followed in the last two years?
Who are the great liberal and progressive
Democrats that are referred to, especially
In this State. who fathered the new
principles aud policies, SO far unmen-
toned and to us known to be unmention-
able?
Was the adoption of the revenue tariff
new principle or new policy, and if
so, when and in what respect? Was the
adoption Of new banking and currency
system a new principle or new policy,
and if so, where and in what respect,
and what are the names of the great lib
eral and progressive Democrats who dis
covered the new principle and new pol
icy? Was the law to make the Anti
Trust bill stronger a new principle or a
new policy? 1t has been cardinal
principle in the Democratic party since
the days of Jefferson that tariff for
revenue was true Democratic prin-
ciple. Tie present admins tration only
followed that Democratic precedent

law was only on the cardinal Dem
ocratic principle of equal rights to all
and special privilege to none. What
becomes Of that sacred principle if Sena
tor Lees special selection for the officers
in Maryland are to be appointed, and all
other Democrats ignored because forsooth
they are not followers of the great liberal
and progressive Democrats that he be-
lieves in and is with and the newly dis
covered principles and the new policies
tdey have discovered, but which are not
named. and which seems to be still
floating in air? 1t may be that the new
principles discovered were taken from
Mr. Roosevelt, and obviously they do
not want to make them public.
As for the term Liberal Democrats =
the Democratic party tried that and NOM
mated Horace Greeley, and called it the
Liberal Democratic Party. Suffice it is
to say they were 50 badly beaten and
shattered that after the election not a
plank of the wreck could be found.
That was enough Of the Liberal Demo
cratic party. Whenevert the Democratic
party nominates a ticket under the name,
firm and style of the Progressive Demo
cratic Party, it can write under that
ticket before the election the word 'de-
feated in large type. Whenever the
Democratic party fails to stand forth and
fight under that old and honored name,
sanctifed by defeat and disaster, but
made glorious by the greatest victories
ever won anywhere on the earth for the
rights and liberty. the prosperity and the
happiness Of The American people, it will
never win by any milk and water mix.
ture or any other substitution.
For a life time we have been telling
the people that the Democratic party
represented all that was greatest and
best in political principle and policy, and
if that is not still true. We have been De
ceiving and hoodwinking the people.
We have proclaimed that and We still
believe it is true. 1t is good enough
without any amendment by the great
liberal and progressive Democrats who
are under cover up to this time Are
there any of them greater or better than
Jefferson or Jackson or any of the other
great promoters of essential Democratic
principles? SO, we would like to read
their names The present tariff is no
better, if as good, as the tariff of 1916.
jackson action as to the national banks
is as great as the new Bank Bill, but the
Democratic Senate, House, and the
President have simply given back and
followed Democratic principles and poll
cies ana nothing more. and they are en-
titled to our highest gratitude and
thanks. and get them. 1t is the triumph
of the Democratic party. We ungrudg
ingly applaud the Democratic President
and the Democratic Congress for being
truly Democratic.

a high place in the business world of this
city and county, and as its head, he dis
played may excellent business qualities
that would no doubt stand him in good
stead in the position he aspires to. He
has many other interests, one of them
being treasurer of the Frederick County
Agricultural Society, to which he de
votes much time and energy. He has
many friends and well wishers, and like
the men mentioned above, is highly re
garded az good Democrat.
This position is one of the most eager
ly sought for of the gifts of our chief ex-
ecutiye for this section Ii is remunera-
tive to the extent of about 50, 500 per
annum. and carries with it considerable
political and local influence. The Gus
tom heretofore has been to accept and
follow the recommendation of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee for Frederick
County, and the same has been true
throughout the country.
What President Wilson will do in the
matter, and who the members of the
County State Central Committee will
recommend to him for this place, is
question, but We earnestly hope that the
man finally selected will be good Dem
ocrat and organization man, and one
who will not backword in giving his help
and aid to other party candidates when
they come up for election in tie future.
There has been just little too much
selfghness displayed by men who have
been the the recipients of party favors in
this neck of the woods, and it would not
hurt some of them to have little lesson
in party loyalty and sincerity. When it
comes to actual local affairs there is very
little difference in principle and platform
between one party and the other, and
therefore the success of either side de
pends upon hard work from staunch and
true supporters Of the party organization.
As we have said repeatedly, and as We
again reiterate and emphasize, there is
no man bigger than his party, and We
have had ample experiences along that
line. Should there be such an individ-
ual, We again say, who feels that he can
90 forth and conquer on his own person
ality and initiative let him be man
enough to so state before any primary
nomination. and We will guarantee to
predict the result for him without fear of
failure.
Of course this is merely said along
general lines, inasmuch as THE CITIZEN
is political newspaper, and has been so
for nearly d century, We could hardly be
expected to have a different opinion.
Success in Frederick county depends
upon unity and organization, and espe-
cially now that Rooseyeltism is appar-
emily on the sliding scale of popularity
This means that those who held to its
tsnets and slogans of hope, especially in
this county, will naturally gravitate 10
one or the other of the two dominant
parties, and we hardly expect very many
Of them to come over to US So there
will be after all lineup fight between
candidates ON the Democratic and Re-
publican tickets. So the call goes out
now, and will be repeated later, for all
Democrats to gird up their loins, stick
to their party, help nominate a good
ticket next fall, and then get together
and elect it.

es his Candidacy for Governor
and opens his Campaign in
Frederick.

Congressman j. Linthicum. Of the
Fourth Maryland District. comprising
eight warls and precincts of Baltimore
! City. and well-known aud distinguish
Ell Democrat. announced his candidacy
for the office Of Governor of the State
last Friday. and the following day made
visit to Frederick City where he spent
much time meeting personal friends, and
citizens generally. Mr.. Linthicum pro-
fesses great degree of interest in Fred
erirk and Frederick County, and never
tires of telling about the me in his
younger days when he taught school
! here.
Mr.. Linthicum is prominent lawyer
and well known business man of Balti
more City. and this fall was elected by
an increased majority. He is native
of Anne Arundel county, and received
his early education in the public schools
of that county and Baltimore City. He
graduated from the State Normal School.
and in 1886 he became principal Of the
Braddock school, Frederick county. In
! 1903 he was elected to the House of
Delegates from the third legislative dis
trict of Baltimore City In 1905 he
was elected to the State Senate, and in
1907 was reelected by the largest ma
jority ever received by a State candidate
in that district. In 1908 he was elect
ed presidential elector, and was ap-
pointed in 1908 by his excellency. Gov

eral upon his staff
He was elected to the Sixty-second
Congress, and reelected to the Sixty
third Congress, and will represent his
district in the next Congress to convene
in December. He has been Democrat
all his life. and is highly thought of by
all who know him. He has taken great
interest in matters pertaining to the pol
icy of the present administration, and
looks out as well for the interests of his
district.

PLANTATION Of his early announcement in
the fact that the unsettled state of affairs
in this country and abroad might neces-
state an extra session of Congress next
spring and summer, and he would con-
sequendy not be able to get away from
his official duties in Washington.
He stated further that Mexican affairs
were in bad shape, outside of the hor-
rible war enveloping nearly all Europe.
He therefore figured that there was no
time like the present. and hence his ap-
parent premature announcement.

TRIAL IN LOUISIANA.

Governor Brewer then honored the

meantime on July 3rd 1913 attorneys
for Walters applied for a writ OF HabeaS
CorbaS in behalf OF Walters which was
refused by Judge Weath5rSDy. An ap-
peal was taken by WalterS to the
Supreme Court of Mississippi and the
matter has been pending until Monday
when the Court held that the eXtradi.
tlon proceedings Were regular in form
and show that the relator is SubStan.
TALLY charged with crime against the
laws of Louisiana and from whose
Justice he is alleged to have fled. 1t
then becomes the duty of the Governor
to honor the requisition if he is assured
that the party involved is fugitive
from justice.
Walters will be brodght to Opelou'
sas at once where he will have to stand
trial unless Walters attorneys take an
appeal to the Federal Court which
seems improbable.

MORE FEED CROPS WILL
Be RAISED IN 1914.

The impression that the Journal
gathers from general indicat tons in
this section assures Us that the acreage
OF corn, lespedeza and other forage and
and feed crops will be considerably
increased this year Quite d
number OF the largest farmers in this
community have indicated their pur-
pose to plant more of these crops and
are making preparations to this end.
We understand that the Bank and
other concerns in town are giving sub.
staI9ial encouragement to the farmers
to increase the acreage in corn and
other feed crops,
We heard a man say the other day
who had been pretty well ill over the
state, that he had seer some of the very
best corn raised right here at Welsh
than he had seen in any part OF
Louisiana
There will be several silos erected
during this year for the preservation
of the feed crops. There will also be a
general effort to general diyerSification
it seems upon O. more extensive scale
than heretofore. There will be more
potatoes, sorghum, cane, and general
truck than heretofore. This VIII neceS
sarily decrease the acreage in rice &c
some extent blt it is figured that these
other crops are absolutely necessary to
independence of the farmer.

This means that Walters will be de-
ligered to the Louisiana authorities
where he will have to stand trial for
the capital offenSe of kidnapping little
R06ert Dunbar al OpelousaS. Few
cases have attracted more attention
and interest than this because OF the
peculiar interest running through diff.

1t Willbe remembered that on August
23rd 1912, little Robert Dunbar dlsap'
peared from his home in OpelousaS.
On April 18th, 1913 W. c. Walters a

FoxWorth, near Columbia, Miss. on a
charge of kidnapping the child, The
child was with him and was identified
by both his parents two days later as
soon as they could arrive from
OpelousaS.
Walters alleged that the child was
Bruce Anderson and was the son Of
Julia Anderson of North Carolina. On
May LIST 1913 the Anderson woman ar
rived at Opelousas and after seeing the
child, swears she cannot be sure he be
longs to her. The following day how
ever she switches her statement ant
SAYS the child is Bruce Anderson.

and Governor Brewer made an investl

rafting his pockets they escaped. Mr.
Mr.. Ford lay unconscious for some time
