EDITORIAL NOTES

control of the Republican party so as
to be the nominee in 1920? This
question is one that is worrying one
element of that party. Has ne
changed his opinion of the Hon.
Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania? OF
the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of 1lli-
nois? Of the Hon. Murray Crane,
of Massachusetts,? Of the Hon. Reed.
Smoot, of Utah? and those other per-
sons whom he SO vigorously de-
nounced in 1912? Has he sold his
friends out Tor a mess of pottage?
Penrose, Cannon, Barnes, Smoot &
Co. are the same men now they were
in 1912, and the things he said then
are just as true now as they were in
1912. To restore them to power
means a return of those conditions
which the American people found in
tolerable in 1910, when they elected
q Democratic Congress, and in 1912,
President. The ''Old Crowd" is still
in politics for business, and they
are now in complete control of the
Republican party, more so than ever.
for the Progressives who have re-
turned to that party must serve a
period of probation before they will
be given much voice in shaping the
policies of the party; in fact, Wall
Street shapes the policies of the Ma
tional Republican party.
The way the Stone-Jackson ele-

party in Maryland, the last primary
having clearly demonstrated that
fact. when, single-handed, he almost

that. by the dirtiest political meth
DDS ever practiced in this State, they
had beaten him, they proceeded to
sand bag him and hold funeral
obseQuies over his political remains.
They would not let him go to the
National Convention; they would
not let him and his friends have any
voice in the State Convention; they
ignored them in the State platform
and tried in every way to make the
killing" thorough job. Now they
find they need the Hon. Phil and
need him badly. How he must en-
Joy listening to the honeyed phrases
which they employ to try and get
him to help rake their chestnuts out
Of the fire, but, it is safe bet that
he has not forgotten what they did
to him, and how they were not salts
ned with beating him, but heaped
indignit1es upon him as well.
It must be real treat to hear the
records of David j. Lewis, the Dem
ocrattc nominee for the United
States Senate, and DIR. France, the
Republican nominee, contrasted.
Lewis, whose whole political record
shows devotion to the interests of
the masses of the people, while DR..
France. although having served
term in the Maryland Senate, was
unknown to the people of the State.
