REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY

Never, perhaps, since the Civil War,
with the exception of 1896, has the Re-
publican party faced sach an opportunity
of formulating politics that will appeal
successfully to the country as the
present time. 1t can by presenting
the glaring delinquencies of the Demo
cracy in contrast with its efficient
service for the sixteen years previous
to 1912 show the Inadequate and liz
efficient performance of the Democratic
Congress and administration. We now
have situation where the home affairs
of the county have been neglected. while
the economic policies of the Democratic
party have worked to the promotion
of the industrial and commercial in
terests of foreign countries.
Whatever prosperity the country may
enjoy from now on will be of super
fetal character, induced by the war in
Europe. The Democratic party to-day
is insolvent through the nonfulfllment
of promises and its broken pledges. 1t
is time to be considering just what the
Republican policies of 1916 should in
corporate. The Philadelphia Evening
Ledger suggests that there are five
essential undertakings to which the
party could very well dedicate itself in
the coming campaign, and upon which
it could win. They are:
"First-A great navy commensurate
in strength with the wealth and stand
ing of this nation among other nations.
"Second-A constructive program
for the quick rehabilitation of the
merchant marine, by subsidies if need
be, and the Strengthening of our trade
relations by comprehensive consular
and trade-expert service throughout
the world, an important adjunct to
which shall be strong banking system
that will cover the commercial map.
"Third-A strong foreign policy
which will assure the protection of
American citizens and interests wher-
ever situate.
"Fourth-A protective tariff, scien-
tifically constructed, which will assure
an American market for American
goods.
"Fifth-A definite declaration that
success in business is a worthy, not an
unworthy achievement; and that as
success in world trade requires vast re-
sources in capital, the formation of
sufficiently strong corporations to assure
efficiency will not be discouraged, but
will be distinctly encouraged by the
United States"

MARYLAND ELECTIONINLIMELI light

Maryland is in the limelight all over
the country this year because the re-
suit of the election in this state in No
vember will be heralded as an event
that will cast shadow for next year
when a president and new Congress
will be chosen. AS the election in
Maryland goes this year so may the
countrywide election next year.
Because OF the moral effect of the
victory by the Republican party in
Maryland this year leaders of that party
in this state and elsewhere are urging
a get-together campaign, and a lively
campaign that will make Republican
success possible. Because of the re-
turn of the Progresslves to the Re-
publican fold and because of dissensions
in the Democratic party there are
many Republicans who believe that the
outlook is suspicious. They are further
encouraged by the general dlsfavor
with which the Democratic admins
tration is viewed because of it's econo-
mic policies. Trade and labor condi-
tons are reported to be unsatisfactory.
The causes are traced to other sources
than the war in Europe,
While the Republicans are buoyed up
to determination to win in order to re-
store their economic program and
thereby restore prosperity, Maryland
Democrats are lukewarm, not only in
their support of President Wilson and
his administration, but also in the sup
port of the new tariff, the new currency
law and other acts born since their
party took charge at Washington.
Their determination to win the state
offices far outweighs their desire to
give support to the administration at
Washington. At least this is true OF
the Democratic organization forces
whose leaders claim that President
Wilson's policy toward Maryland Dem
ocrats has been punitive. They point
to the scant courtesy shown to them at
the White House when appointments
were made. Mr.. Dennis, who was
named district attorney, is the only
out-and-out organization Democrat who
was appointed to federal position in
MARYLAND. While Mr.. Ryan was in
dorsed for collector of the port by Sen
ator Smith, he has never been entirely
identified with the organization. Sena-
tor Blair Lee got the bulk of the rec
ognition. Baltimore American.

ONE of the most noticeable proofs of
the progressiveness and prosperity of
many af the Garrett county farmers, is
the large number OF silos being Install
ed here and there over the county.
Some farms have two or more silos.
This means better feed for the cattle,
hence more fat cattle to sell, which
means more money in the bank, or the
reduction of the mortgage on farm
property as well as economy in feed.
1t means more comfortable homes,
more convenience in the home. The
Republican congratulates the farmer
who has the wisdom to install a silo and
plan for its best use. Such men are
community builders.

THE statement published IN The Re-
publican last week that the Oakland
creamery expected to pay out this
month. to the farmers in the vicinity
of Oakland, the sum of $1,000 was a
glad surprise and indicated the posi-
bilities of the dairy business. True,
81, 900 is not large sum of money, as
some people count money, yet it is
quite an amount of ready cash, dis
tributed among a number of farmers,
and is quite convenient to have to meet
the demands of the farm life. May
the amount paid but increase as the
months roll by.
