XX/HlLST we were not surprised
" in the least at the victory of
Mayor Preston over his Re
publican opponent in the municipal cleo.
ton in Baltimore last Tuesday, we were
unprepared for the sweeping victory he
won. The managers of his campaign
had earnestly looked for a majority of
s, 600, but when that was almost dou.
bled it looked very much like the pre-
ponderance of sentiment was favorable to
him and his administration. Perhaps a
stronger candidate than Mr.. Heintzeman
would have made inroads in Mr.. Pres
ton S vote, but we are inclined to be-
lieve that no one whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the MAYOR
atty on the Republican ticket could have
defeated him When Mayor Preston
ran four years ago he had the two prin-
ciple newspapers of Baltimore-The Sun
and the News-against him, with The
American about on the fence. Mr..
Preston then had no record outside of a
personal and political one, and yet he
won over big odds by sheer force of his
organization. The News and The Sun
assailed him bitterly because he was
politician, and because he was associated
with the men who had been long in the
political game, and who sometimes had
overstepped some of the bounds.
Both The News and The Sun for some
years have been hammering at the bar.
riers Of INDEPENDENCE and trying to make
everyone believe that it is almost a
crime to be politician or connected
with active duty to any party, and it is
no thanks to them in any way, shape, or
form, that Mr. Preston is the Mayor of
Baltimore. No doubt that they helped
several thousand, but hi. record would
have insured his election no matter what
way they turned. Mr.. Preston is not in
dabted to them, and they simply this
time followed the crowd, instead Of
las they very frequently do-trying
to crystalline sentiment their own way.
One of the strongest features of Mr..
Preston's administration has been his
absolute adherence to the fundamental
rule of politics, and that is keeping mem
bers OF his party on guard in all of the
city positions He has done this sue
cessfully without sacrificing one inch Of
his administrative force, his business
sagacity, or his political freedom, and g
has absolutely insisted upon strict ac

The baseball season seems to be well
on its way, and already Manager Nor
rison, who piloted the team last year,
has been engaged to look after its inter
ests this coming season. Some of the
men have already been signed up. and
this year the club plays in what is
known as organized baseball in the third
or fourth class. This means that the
players will have to live up to their con-
tracts, and unless they do, they will be
blacklisted from any other organized
ball. Players can be drafted from this
team by any Of the bigger leagues. 1t
is believed that things will move along
this year even better than last, and that
our people will be given real good ball
from the start.

them. The result was highly graft
flying. The bonds were offered in
lots of $500 and $1,000 at time. The
first bonds brought little above par,

became spirited, and the highest bond
brought 1O2.50. The premium on the
