Cardinal Gibbons
And Local Option.

Dear Editor St. Mary's BEACON:
That great American and popular
son of Maryland, Cardinal Gibbons,
has been quoted as against prohibi-
tiOn, local and national. May
ask you to print the following clear
expressions of his views at different
times within the past seven or eight
years. IL His Eminence has not
favored prohibition, it was only in
those states or localities where pub
lie opinion was not yet strong
to insure its enforcement; in such
places a license system well regu-
lated would be far better than a
blind pig system, where the people
and the officials are too lax or too
criminal to enforce the prohibitory
law, tor in the later case there exist
all the evils of drink in their worst
form, and the law IS held up to ridi-
Guile. Not so where the public SEN
timent is strong and active, and
public officers are kept vigilant by
virtue of this same widespread de-
termination on the part of good
men to see that the law be enforced.

Now that the MAJORITY election
has been decided IN Baltimore and
the times are auspicions for politi-
cal activity, the situation in st.
Mary's has assumed the same hue
as that worn bv the rest of the
State, which is one way of saying
that there will be quite some fiaht
in the Democratic primaries. said
fight centering around the aspirants
for the nomination for Governor.
One set Of interests on the one hand
are ardently championing the cause
of Comptroller Harrington, and an
other set of interests, on the other,
are urging with no wise less yes.
the selection of Senator Blair Lee.
As result, the local asp;rants
for the county and legislatives Of
fees are in somewhat of quandry.
Both sides are urging the respec-
tive claims of their choice and both
are confident that they have good
champions TO urge. Nevertheless
hard fought fight may leave bitter
taste and it is up to the just Dem
Ocrats" TO see that both factions are
held within reasonable bounds and
do nothing to jeopardize the best
interests of the party when TIE final
recoRing comes in the November
election.
Why Democrats SO ardently love
to bubble is quite beyond the ken
of some, but there age those who
hold that lively primary fight
stimulates interest, brings the can
didates more clearly before the peo-
pie, thereby giving them a better
understanding of the measures adj
vocated for the welfare of the State,
thus enhancing the party's chances
for victory. However, since there
is to be fight, and since st. Mary's
appears carded to share in the ex-
citement, the foremost consideration
should be the selection of that can
didate whose nomination would
best tend to promote the party's
welfare beyond any personal advan-
tage to the individual and assure
for the State the election of good
man to guide her destinies along
the course of efficiency and econOm-
zeal administration of her govern
mental affairs.
Ii is meet and altogether proper
that the voter should champion the
cause of the candidate whom he
considers best fitted TO fill the posi-
ton, but those who do actively at
tempt TO influence others should be
careful not to use any means where
by the ultimate success of the party
would be- in anywise ieopardized.
