No doubt many nights before he an
! nounced his candidacy last February he
lay awake trying to decide between duty
and desire.
Perhaps in the stiffness Of the night
after the midnight hour, at his home in
Montgomery county, he heard the voice
of Mayor Preston saying: ''Blair, duty
demands you enter the contest, for you
know my ambition is seat in the U. s.
Senate and with your election to the
Governorship comes my opportunity.
Then the voices of tSonny' Mahon,
Danny Loden, Kelly and the others
of the ''boys'' saying ''You are the man
we need at Annapolis for we have watched
your record carefully at Washington and
your paramount work has been to get
jobs for your faithful followers, asking
and claiming the right to name the man
for every position, conceding nothing
to Senator Smith or the Congressman no
matter whether it was big fat job, or
the keeper Of Antietam Cemetery. OF
course you told the people and we told
the people that you should be sent to the
Senate to help uphold the hands of the
President, but you have not at any time
allowed the unfolding business to inter
fere with the job-getting business. Now
these places are about all filled and yet
many of the faithful are not feeding at
the flesh pots and if elected Governor
what golden opportunity you will have
to reward your many friends and to get
even with Senator Smith for the few
Federal crums he finally received
Then perhaps in these wakeful hours
he heard other voices, even from Carroll
county and from some unexpected devel-
opments recently in our county, maybe
Senator Lee voice with the sound of
promise was waited back to Carroll
county
An old German farmer living in the
northern part of our county had several
sons. Some years ago one of them came
to him and said: Father, | have had
call to preach" The father, who was
not strong on preachers and besides
doubted his son fitness for the ministry,
said "My son, think that call you
said you heard to preach was some other
noise
There may be some Democrats in
Maryland who will be uncharitable
enough to believe that Mr.. Lee may be
mistaken and the sound he heard and
thought was the voice Of the people call
ing him to save the party and State, may
have been some other noise. Westmins-

piece Of patronage to be wormed out of
Washington there are scores Of places to
be bestowed in Annapolis For man
hostile to Senator Lee to be enthroned
on the Severn would be fatal to any
hopes of the Lee contingent to see their
favorite in control of the State prrty ma
chine.
Senator Lees attitude as candidate
in this campaign has driven from him
the political support of the many
staunchest friends he ever had 1t is he
that has deserted them, not they who
have deserted him. Mr.. Lee built up a
tremendous personal following that
trusted him. His friends and the peo-
pie generally believed in his sincerity Of
purpose; they Judged that when elected
he would evince senatorial dignity and
proficiency in marked degree. They
gave him every opportunity to make his
predictions and promises positive realities.
He has fallen far short of the high esti
mate they put upon him and his position
today is in the ranks of the Machine
formerly detested by him. he is the ally
of the Organization that at heart has
no use for him; he is the co laborer of
the Ring that lives off the City and
sell out the Counties whenever an Eek
pediency'' arises.
Yes, one may admire person as an
individual, one may be most kindly dis
posed toward him as friend, and still
not consider that he meets the require
ments of some contemplated ofice.-Em-

"FORCED TO RUN" SAYS LEE
OBEYED PARTY GALL.

Under these headlines the Baltimore
Sun published an account of Senator
Blair Lee speech to the ward commit
tees of the Young Mems Lee League in
Baltimore City last Thursday night.
Seuator Lee said that if he bad consult
ed his personal wishes he would not seek
the gubernatorial nomination, but so
many reasons have been advanced by
leading Democrats throughout the State
who have the success and best interests
Of the party and State at heart, that he
could not allow his personal wishes to
control his action in the matter.
Only the urgent appeals of the people
and the feeling that he could not aban-
don the progressive Democrats of Mary
land who are fighting in the trenches
and who are calling upon him to save
them, has induced him against his own
wishes and desire to enter the contest for
the gubernatorial nomination this fall.
Here is another striking illustration of a
great, patriotic, unselfish man being mis-
Judged. Mr.. Harrington, the other
Democratic candidate for Governor, Mr..
Albert G. Richie, candidate for Attor-
ney General, and Mr.. Hugh McMullen,
candidate for Comptroller on the Smith
ticket, in their speeches in various parts
Of the State, have been asking Mr. Lee
questions as to why he wants to leave
the United States Senate and seek the
nomination for Governor and have init
mated he was not actuated by the high
and unselfish motives he says he is and
there may be few other Democrats in
the State who have the same opinion.
But they have been mistaken and have
misunderstood the man for Mr.. Lee sayt
so himself and he says it in such mod
est, humble way with no trace of egot.
ism These men who have even haC
the faintest thought that Mr. Lee wa
seeking the nomination because he per-
sonally desired it, and wanted to unhors'
Senator Smith and be the party boss O.
for any motive other than to submit t
the call Of the people should feel very
penitent and write, wire or phone hin
how deeply grieved they are that the.
have misjudged him and ask his forgive
ness.

THE MAYORS REPLY TO MR..
HARRINGTON.

The Mayors reply to Comptroller
Harrington, who has asked him whether
he would publicly state that he is not
coercing and will not coerce city EN-
ployees to vote for Senator Lee in the
Democratic primary, is not exactly sat
isfactory. After charging that Mr..
Harrington is seeking votes by endors-
ing program that will materially dam
age the city of Baltimore, and through
it the State, the Mayor adds:
Any man who has sufficient inter-
est in Baltimore city to entitle him to
hold public position of any kind will
not hesitate to support Lee on this is
sue, without the necessity of any coer-
cion; especially as, in so doing, he will
promote the interest of the entire State,
as well as of the city. | am not can
didate. Mr.. Harrington is. The is-
sue is, What does Mr.. Harrington stand
for? Not what do | stand for.
This seems to indicate that the Mayor
believes that any city employee who is
not for Senator Lee is unworthy of public
confidence, not fit for job. Carrying
out this point of view, he can argue
that, as he wants only fit men in the
public service, it is his duty to fire
everybody off the municipal payroll who
votes or works for Harrington.
The logic of this contention will
hardly bear analysis. We would much
prefer to hear the Mayor say that city
employees are appointed to work solely
for the city and not in the primaries;
that they are at liberty to vote for whom
they please as long as they do their
work properly. However, the people of
Baltimore elected the mayor on differ
ent sort of platform and they will not
be surprised at his attitude. He has
never made any bones about keeping in
Office friends of the administration, and
it is apparent that, in his vocabulary,
loyalty means loyalty all down the line.
Still, as unsatisfactory as is the
Mayors answer, there is one thing to
bear in mind The ballot is a secret one
and unless city employees really wish to
vote for Senator Lee they can't well be
coerced to do so. OF course, they can
not safely electioneer for anybody else;
but in casting their ballot they can do
pretty much as they please. --The Bal
timore News.

Thus at one glance at the facts does
the glory Of that great act refuse to rest
upon the statesmanlike brow of Senator
Lee.
And so with the direct Primary Flee
tons law. Again Lee was there with
his amendments, and the bill as drawn
by Straus and backed by Crothers was
changed from real progressive measure
to the most reactionary election law
that has ever cursed the counties of
Maryland
Lee had the Montgomery plan, I"
his pet scheme, put into the law, and
here it is:
In one section the candidates are per-
mitted to buy official ballots.
In the next section ''every voter is
permitted to have his ballot prepared for
him before he enters the polling place.
When he enters the judge gives him an
other blank official ballot and an official
envelope; and the law says ''That in
the privacy of the booth he may ex-
change the ballot he has prepared for
the one the judge gave him and put the
prepared ballot in the envelope and seal
it and vote it.
And what does he do with the official
ballot the Judge gave him?
Why he simply takes it to the candi-
date, or his agent who bought his vote,
and gives it to him as a sure proof that
he voted the one the candidate had pre-
pared for him.
The Montgomery plan, Senator Lees
amendment to the Crothers Straus Pri-
mary law, simply legalizes the we'll
known ''Tasmanian Dodge" of illegally
using an official ballot exactly as this
amendment permits.
We We're credibly informed that in
one precinct in Montgomery county six
ballots when opened were found to con-
tain the 50 bills that the candidate or
his agent had folded in the ballots he
had prepared for the voters, and these
SIX in that precinct did not open the
ballots to see how they voted, and so
voted the 81 bills along with them.
The same story was told of Prince
Georges county and l tell it not as
proctor the damnable scheme needs
no proof of its wide open vote-buying
facilities.
As one stands for the elimination of
money in behalf of candidates, de-
nounce the lee Direct Primary Elec-
tions Law as having restored vote buy
ing which the Democratic party had for
20 years been aiming to destroy.
1t makes direct primaries the fay of
rich candidates and turns these SC. called
popular elections into saturnalia of
fraud and bribery.
1t marks Senator Lee as real reac.
tionary despite the much vaunted claim
of his followers that he is the very arch
type OF a progressive.

Civil Service Reform League De-

Secretary Bryans letter asking
Walter w. Wick, former receiver

at your disposal with which to re-
ward deserving Democrats, was dis
approved in resolutions adopted by
the council Of the National Civil Ser

winter meeting at New York on
February 4, it was announced Sunday
night. 1t was pronounced inconsist-

with good faith toward the Dominican
republic. After thorough discussion
Of this letter, which was introduced
into the evidence taken during the re-
cent hearing i'll this city regarding the
fitness of James NJ Sullivan for the
Office of American minister to Santo
Domingo, the governing board of the
league adopted the following rcsolu-

The National Civil Service Reform
league profoundly regrets that the
secretary of state appears to have sug
gested and advocated and later pub
licly justified the use of the customs
service of Santo Domingo, constitut-
ing national trust for the benefit of
another American republic and its
creditors to reward partisan services
in our domestic politics. The nation
al civil service reform league by its
governing body, declares this course
plainly inconsistent, not only with fl
deity to the principles of the merit
system and with the purpose avowed
i'll the Democratic national platform
of 1912 to make merit and ability the
standard of appointment and promo
ton rather than service to a political
party but with ordinary good faith
toward the Dominican republic and
its creditors. 1t hereby publicly ex-
presses its earnest hope that the pres

sermons SSunday had to force his vocal
cords 10 their utmost to make himself
heard.
When spraying of the throat and sp-
uhcatiOn of exterior remedies failed to
be of lasting benefit. Dr.. Drew advised
that an operation be performed. Sun

all he needed, but when his voice broke
down again last Sunday DR.. Drew again
