the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
q constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and surfaces of

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

Court Of Appeals Judges in

ticularly as regards the learned mem
beers of that learned body When the
court assembled last week to hear ar
gument in the case assigned for the
October docket, Chief Judge A. Hunter
Boyd and his colleagues appeared on
the bench in judicial gowns Of black
silk. somewhat similar TO those worn by
the members Of the Supreme Bench at
Washington, only the white wigs We're
missing.
The determination to wear gowns
while sitting on the bench was reached
by the judges Of the court some months
ago. after it had been discussed for
some time. The general feeling not
alone among the members of the bar
was that the Judicial gowns would be
in keeping with the dignity Of the State :
highest judicial body.

As To The Candidates.

IAN the Democratic candidates who
are now on the ticket, including my
late opponent for the nomination for
the United States Senate, the Hon.
John Walter Smith, Mere nominated
under this law by the Democrats Of the
State and of the various Congressional
districts, and these gentlemen are I'M
doubtedly the choice of the majority of
the Democratic party for these nomna-
tons. The fact that great many
Democrats did not vote at the prima-
ries does not affect the matter in the
slightest degree.
Those who did not take the trouble
to 20 to the primaries to vote must be
assumed to have been willing to leave
the choice OF the candidate to those who
did go. and there Is no reason in my
mind why |, or any other Democrat.
should have the slightest hesitation in
supporting these candidates.

The Choice of The Majority.

Frequently these candidates have
been men whom would not have chosen
and against whom voted in the pri-
maries, but they were the choice Of the
majority OF the Democrats and believe
in abiding by the judgment OF the ma
jority IN matters of this kind. just as
believe in accepting and acquieScing in
the Judgment of the court no matter
whether it accords with my personal
judgment or not.
THAT !, Democracy
And you must always remember Il
you are right and the majority is wrong
you will have another chance at the
next election To win the majority over
to your side.
There is no profit 10 any man in nurs
ing personal pudpes or grievances in
politics
In the heat OF primary contest
mems Judgments are obscured. and they
are apt to so too far in what they say.
but We have to ALLOW for that In the
late Senatorial fight. for instance, some
Of my opponents made the charge against
me that had never been with the Demo
cratic party in Maryland except when it
was sure Of success and did not need
my assistance.
This. of course. was not true. but |
do not permit myself to indulge in feel
ings of resentment on that account. be-
cause am satisfied that those who
made the statement believed it To be
true at the time. being misinformed as
10 what my record in that regard had
been.
As a matter of fact. il was exactly
the reverse of the truth. because for
years after the great overthrow Of the
Democratic party in ls95-96. whatever
may have been the situation in the
counties. the Democratic ticket in Bal
timore city needed every supporter il
could get and | devoted myself for
years at every election to the effort 10
bring back the independent voters TO
the support of the party. Ii was a
pleasure for me TO do so then. and il is
none the less "A pleasure to do the same
thing at time like this. when the
country is being called upon TO indorse
the leadership and administration of
Woodrow Wilson.

who We're certainly Democrats from
principle. ! never thought the people
nominated in that way could be deemed
to be- nominees of the Democratic party
at all, and could never see how any man
who on conscientious grounds declined
to support candidates thus nominated
could be deemed guilty of party disloy-
atty
But il must be remembered that
condition Of affairs was not peculiar 10
the Democratic party Of those old days.
1T was even worse in the Republican
party and it ought in fairness be remem-
bered also that those corrupt political
conditions have been largely due to the
decentralization caused by what took
place in this city during and Immediately
after the CiyiI War. while the Rcpub-
lican party was in power conditions for
which the Democratic party was not
primarily responsible
Since these conditions We're rene
