He has proven his friendship for Garrett
county by his vote tor our local option
bill.

THIS Is marvellous year in the history
of Garrett county. A year of remark
able crops IN field and orchard. Ours
has been bountiful harvest. A year
in which we have the privilege to vote
the sale of liquor out of our county. A
year in which we shall, by our ballot
make Garrett county dry. 1t is our
Jubilee year.
Next Tuesday the mountineers shall
rise in the dignity of their manhood and
cast their vote against liquor selling in
in the county. This most western
county of the state shall declare its
freedom from Intoxicating liquors. 1t
is gloIiou privilege we shall enjoy next
Tuesday, and how greatfully we will
enjoy it.
What glorious future is before US.
A saloonless county. What blessings,
what happiness, what peace and what
comfort it will bring to US. No drunken
men on our streets, no poverty strick en
families, no suffering womanhood or
childhood, no drunken brawls, but in
their stead an empty Jail, peace and
plenty, we'll clad children, we'll fed
families, sober men. What a vision
appears before US, of better, grander.
richer and healthier county.
Next Tuesday is the great day OF our
redemption. The day for which we
have long prayed. 1t is almost here.
We will cast our ballot as never before.
There will be such a satisfaction, such
realization of our duty as never be-
fore. A consciousness that our vote
means so much for the tomorrow of
our county.
And, while we vote dry. we will not
forget to cast our ballot for the man
who voted for US at Annapolis and help
ed US to secure the glorious privilege
we shall have on Nov. Sd. Senator F
N. Zihlman, candidate for Congress
He was with us. He was for us, anC
he aided US in obtaining this boom OF
county wide happiness. He voted for US
We will vote for him. We can do moth
ing else.

AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN

This present campaign is the most
important voting test this country has
experienced since 1896. In that year
this country was redeemed from the
prostitution, poverty and distress
wrought upon it by the mistaken and
misguided legislation of the terrible
Wilson-Gorman- Cleveland administra-
ton. This year the voter faces the OPP
portunity to cast his vote to save this
great nation from any further business
depression, to save it from the threat
of hard times, slack business and idle
factories. (this last being already upon
u.s. with their attendant evils of nation
wide poverty, distress and starvation.
The voter has to choose between cast
ing his vote in this election for candi-
dates for congress who represent the
Democratic party and it's principles. If
you believe that the business and tariff
ideas and principles of the Democratic
party are sound and proper, and to the
best interests of the nation, that if the
workings of the Democratic administra-
ton so far have resulted in the business,
commercial and manufacturing welfare
of this nation, together with their re-
sultant effects upon American labor,
then you should go to the polls and
vote for the Democratic candidates.
If on the other hand, you believe
that the vast majority of wide-awake
business men, fnanciers and intelligent
working men believe that this country
has ever prospered and thriven and
advanced and progressed best under
the administration and guidance of the
Republican party and through it's prin-
ciples; that the Republican policies and
beliefs and principles relative to the
great business law Of the protective
tariff for American labor and capital
are right, if you desire bounteous pros
perlty in every walk of American
business and labor world; if you believe
that American labor, American mer-
chandise and American manufactures
and American capital is worth a little
more than that of the foreigner, and
would rather see it working and build
ing for the uplift and enrichment of
America, then you must go to the polls
and vote tor Republican candidates.

THE Oakland Democrat last week
said, "Mr Zihlman has served a term
in the Maryland Senate from Allegany
Co. Mr.. Zihlman served his county
in three sessions of the Senate, or six
years. The Democrat goes on to say
but that fact is not sufficient to ac-
count for his failure to rise to posi-
ton of real leadership in his own party
except in his own county," Mr.. Zihl-
man was the able floor manager Of his
party during the last session of the
Senate; was hard working member of
number of most important committees,
O. the Senate, man whose advice and
assistance was asked by Democrats
and Republicans. He is so much a
leader in his party in the Sixth District,
as to have had no opposition for the
place he occupies on the Republican
ticket. He is such a leader in Western
Maryland politics as to fill the Demo-
Gratis with alarm. So much leader as
to cause President Wilson, the Post
master General, Congressman Under
wood and other Democratic leaders to
plead for his reelection. So much of a
leader that West Virginia Democratic
newspapers are called upon to plead
for his opponent, Mr.. Lewis reelection
So much of leader that Congressman
Lewis had to leave his seat in the halls
of Congress and make personal canvas
in this district while drawing 500 day
pay for his services) to plead for re-
election. So much a leader that all
over the Sixth Congressional District
of Maryland he has awakened great
enthusiasm and united the Republicans
in this campaign. Mr.. Zihlman is a
man of energy, enthusiasm and success,
He is common sense, practical every
day man. He is your friend. the kind
of man you can tie to and feel safe.

DEMOCRATS CRUSHING THE
FARMER.

Hon. Porter }. McCumbe, United
States Senator from North Dakota,
says: The extreme hostility of this
Democratic administration to the
American farmer is astounding. One
would naturally suppose that if the
legislative arm of the government
should be extended to any class of its
citizens it ought to be to raise the agri-
cultural interest up to plane of equal
ity with other great industries. But
this is the record of the Democratic
administration as it affects the Amerl-
can farmer.
Out of twenty-five leading agricul-
tural products which have heretofore
received fair protection under Repub-
lican tariff laws, seventeen of them
were placed on the free list, and the
other five given but a mere pittance
which in no instance amounted to pro-
lection.
Can any farmer, Republican or Dem
ocrat who understands the simple law
of supply and demand, doubt for mo-
ment that the excessive importations
nearly all along our northern border
prevented him from receiving what he
otherwise would have received for his
product? Can the northwestern farmer
fail to understand that an Importation
of over 22,000.00 bushels of oats in
nlEe months must necessarily have had
a disastrous effect upon the price he
was entitled to receive for his oats?
The northwestern farmer must be
blind indeed who did not observe that
from the beginning of the operation of
this tariff law until August l. the trend
of prices was downward all along the
line of agricultural productions and had
it not been for the European war he
would have received today less for his
agricultural products, with the pos
sible exception of cattle, than he has
received since the previous Democratic
administration.
This war will come to an end, and
unless this Democratic tariff act is re-
pealed before that time. the prices of
our farm products will drop to the level
recorded during the stagnant years of
1893 to 1897.

certain men (?) who are by low down,
mean, contemplate statements trying
to defeat Senator Zhlman. The re-
ports that they are circulating are un-
worthy of credit and the sly way in
which they are put in circulation, by
way of insinuation, are beneath the

heard of some of these malicious, foul

only to dishonor and disgrace Mr..
Zihlman if possible The Republicans
are not conducting that kind of a

THE Saturday Evening Post, says
That there will be many changes in
the membership of the House and a
decided reduction CT the present over
grown Democratic majority seems
highly probable. In speaking about
the Congress which closed its session
last Saturday, the Post says: $50 many
startling utterances and proposals have
emanated from its membership, as q
whole that 1t gives one the blues tc
reflect upon what it would do if left tc
it's own guidance. Remember the
Saturday Evening Post is not a Re-
publican paper.

DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS
FISCAL RECORD.

The Underwood tariff law was ap-
proved October 3rd 1913. From that
time until July 31st, practically ten
months elapsed. Let US note the re-
suits of this law within this period.
Note that the European war had not
begun on July 31st. In October, 1913,
the imports of the United States were
1892, 878 1896, the exports S271, 1855, 054.
The balance of trade in favor of the
| United States during the month being
therefore $l3S, 975, 158. With slight
fluctuations, the imports during each of
the succeeding months have increased,
the exports decreased, until in July the
imports were $3.50. 677, PSI, the exports
1854, 238, SAT, and the former balance in
favor of the United States has become
balance against the United States of
S., 538, 344. That is, the imports in
July were q millions more and the ex-
ports III millions less than in October.
Thus we are buying more and selling
less. Is this good business?
The appropriations for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1918, were 81, 019, 412,-
1901; for 1914. $1,098, 673, 789. 40; for
1915, $l.115, 90S, 777.25; that is an in
crease of 1915 over 1918 of 90 millions
dollars. The amount of the increase is
practically the amount determined to be
raised by the so-called war tax. The
war tax could be saved by economy
notwithstanding the failure of the
tariff law even as revenue producer
now note how il has failed.
| From October 1st to July 3lst, the
total income from the tariff was $229,-
| 46l, $500. For the same ten months in
the preceding year the total income
was $3.50. 1922 37. Thus the Under
wood law yielded 80 millions less than
the Payne law, though the imports dur
ing the same ten months were 81, $685.
120, 312. as against 81, SOB. SIG, 993 90
during the corresponding ten months
under the Payne law.
Imports have increased. revenue has
decreased, prices have not decreased,
thus aside from the loss to our own in
dustries we have simply sacrificed 80
millions of dollars of revenue.
Consider this brief digest and ask
yourself whether the Democratic fiscal
policy is success.

VOTERS this year can get their best
campaign arguments right at home.
Are wages higher? Are times better?
Are money conditions easier? Is the
cost of living lower? Are bankers more
ready to lend money?
These are questions that can be an
swered without the assistance of cam
paign orators, or campaign text books.
The voter has only to ask himself and
some of his friends these questions and
others like them and then decide for
himself whether he is going to vote to
continue the conditions which now sur
round him.

So hard pushed are the Democrats
in their desire to defeat Senator Zihl-
man for Congress. that certain Oak
land Democrats are busy circulating
a story that "Senator Zihlman owns
two saloons in Cumberland and one in
Frostburg. That he is the president of
DistillIng Company in Cumberland. "
This statement is malicious talsehood,
purposely circulated, with the hope of
injuring Senator Zihlman. See Senator

THIS country is about to indulge in the
remarkable distinction of paying a big
war revenue tax, says the Carroll Re-
cord, while our country is not at war;
so. no matter whether Europe fights,
or is at peace, we must pay for their
convenience In the one case a war
tax because they are at war; and in the
other, a lowered tariff because they
need it IN order to beat US in business
way. On the whole, we are excessive
" liberal IN our charity to the foreigner.

A CONVINCING STATEMENT.

A Columbus man is one of company
operating West Virginia coal mine.
The saloons closed in that state the first
of July under state wide Prohibition.
This operator wanted to see the DIFF
ference in the earning power of some of
his drinking men under wet and dry
conditions. He picked out eight miners,
all of them drinkers, and the payroll
of the company for June, wet, and
August, dry, tells the difference in the
earning of these eight men. Here is
the COMPARISON:

WHAT can be gained by voting for
Mr.. Lewis? He is Democrat. He
makes no promises to the Republicans.
He is full fiedged supporter of the
administration principles, hence does
not deserve the support of any Republi-
can. He left Garrett county to vote
for the war tax, which will greatly in
crease the cost of living Spent few
hours in Washington and then came
back to this county. In the meantime
Congress remained in session and Mr.
Lewis drew his $4,000 per dav pay, and
he devoted his time trying to persuade
Republicans to vote for him.

IT has been asked. What has
Senator Zihlman ever done for Garrett
county? He has done two things
Garrett county citizens should never
forget. l. He worked to make the
Garrett county Local Option bill law.
2. He voted to give you and the right
to vote on the question of local option
for Garrett county. These facts entitle
him to our most earnest support. He
stood by US in an hour when we needed
friend with influence. Can we
honorably refuse him our support? Can
we be so ungrateful as to vote against
him? This local option law means
much for Garrett county, more than
you or l can estimate. "A friend in
need is friend indeed" Vote for
Zihlman! Vote for Darlington!

EXPENDITURES authorized and pro-
posed by the Democratic administration
this year exceed the expenditures of
the corresponding year of the last Re-
publican administration by over $780,
10000 This is the real reason why
the American people are to bear the
burden of $10O, 900, 900 war tax. This

NEXT week more attention will be
given to local matters. This is the last
issue of The Republican for the polt-
ical campaign. For the past two weeks
we have given large space to the politi-
cal situation, believing that the time
had arrived when Garrett county should
resume her place in the Sixth Maryland
congressional district as a Republican
county by large, old time majority.
Col Darlington, candidate for United
States Senator is practical man, well
qualified for the Office he seeks, as is
also Senator Zihlman. The man who
casts his ballot for these two gentlemen
makes no mistake. 1t every sense of
the word they are the equal of the
Democratic candidates.
The Republican has taken an earnest
part in the local option campaign, be-
lieving that the best interests of Gar
rett county will be served by the adop-
ton of the local option law, hence has
urged the voters of the county to cast
their ballot against license.
Shall Garrett county have a County
Home? The answer to that question
will be given next Tuesday. Let the
subject be carefully investigated and
vote as your judgment directs.
Vote for the amendment to the Con-
stitution. 1t relates only to Baltimore
City. 1t is but right that they should
have what they ask for and the fee
system be abolished.
Vote the straight Republican ticket
next Tuesday.

excessive. On the other hand, Zihl-
