AGAINST Withdrawal. Of Radium Land.

Denver.-The feeling that the pro-
posal OF federal officials to withdraw
and lease radium-bearing lands is
merely an opening wedge for the In.
stitution OF leasing all unclaimed min
eral lands is expressed by Governor
Ammons In letter he sent to Senator
Shafroth. The executive suggests that
instead of withdrawing the land from
entry the government should give
bonuses for the discovery of radium
ores. II its production is greatly need
ed for the sake OF humanity.
The governor says he has never
seen such unanimity of opinion In tho
state as the people hold against the
withdrawal Of the radium lands.
He first sent Senator Shafroth a
telegram on the subject which fol-
lows:
II find no sentiment except against
withdrawal on any terms. but realize
you must he guided by conditions
there II radium is so badly needed.
would It not be more sensible to offer
a premium on the discovery and pro-
duction and thus get the mineral

LET the voter of Garrett county,
when he comes to cast his ballot, next
Tuesday remember that whenever we
have a Democratic administration in
this country, it means bonded indebt-
edness, or special war tax. During
Cleveland's administration the country
had to borrow 5000, 100000 to pay the
running expenses of the Government,
and today it is war tax and no war.
Let him also remember that when the
Republicans turned over the reins of
Government to the Democrats the
treasury of the United States was full
to overlooking, and today, after two
years under a Democratic administra-
ton, the treasury is empty. Let him
also remember that David J. Lewis,
the Democratic candidate tor Congress,
has been supporting and if reelected
will again support this suicidal policy OF
free trade Wilson. Vote tor Frederick
N. Zihlman for Congress.

WHAT YEER COIN
REVENUE?
FOR

One Of the most commonly used argu-
ments by the saloon hackers is that the
state cannot do without the revenue
arising from the liquor traffic. This is
a notable example of argumentum ad
ignorantiam.
Where do the saloons get the cash to
pay license fees, taxes, operating
expenses and the enormous profits the
business. Out of the pockets of the
citizens every dollar of it comes. If
the people did not spend their money
for liquors they could pay the saloon
keepers license fees and taxes and have
his operating expenses and immense
profits left in their pockets. to say moth
ing of expenses saved in prosecuting
the criminals produced by the saloon
apd caring for its detectives and
paupers. The saloon is an enormously

THE WAR TAX EXPLAINED.

The Washington Star, says: Presi-
dent Wilson's new touring car has
arrived at the White House, and was
used by the President yesterday for the
first time. 1t is sixty six horse power
of the most modern type. A new car
of the same make, but limousine, has
arrived for Secretary Tumulty, and is
also in use. In short time two other
new cars from the same shop are to
arrive for the President and his family.
One is to be limousine. The cost of
the touring car. authorized by Congress
is Sc. 900, and of the limousine, $500.
The Superintendent of the Public Print
ing department has also received car
for his use, and the end is not yet. Who
cares for expenses? A vote for David
j. Lewis means a continuation of these
expenses.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1914-10-29

WHEN the administration needed
votes to pass the war tax bill, where
did they find David John Lewis? Not
in the halls of congress, where he is
paid $50. 90 day to be; not where he
was expected to be, at such an i'm.
portant hour, not at his post of duty,
but at Friendsville. Garrett county,
trying to persuade Republicans to re.
elect him to Congress. The officials OF

WHO CARES FOR EXPENSES?

Republican Congresses have been
called "billion-dollar Congresses" by
the Democratic newspapers and speehc-
makers in the past, but they have given
the country a fair sample of what they
can do along the same line by going
the Republicans a few better. The
Democratic Congresses hereafter will
be known as "Billion-Dollar Cong
resses" with Hundred Million Dollar
War Tax" thrown in!
Herein is partial explanation of the
increasing high cost OF living and the
empty dinner-pail!'
This is the party and the Congress to
whcih Hon. David ], Lewis belongs,
and this part of his and his party s
record that the voters of the Sixth
District of Maryland will make sure is
not repeated.
Will they vote for a continuance of
or for safe and sane Republican policies
and 1.-The full dinner-pail?"
Wait and see!
