, THE ELECTION

With the definite indication
that Mr.. Richie has been elected
Governor, there must inevitably
come feeling of relief, deep and
sincere, not only to Democrats
but to the great body of citizens
whose Americanism rises above
party affiliation. The deliverance
from the forces that attempted to
put over" Mr. Nice was uncom-
fortably close, but it is none the
less complete.
Af these forces had been sim
ply the power of the Republican
political machine under normal
conditions, the prospect of its as
tendency would not have been so
alarming. In this campaign how
ever, the Republican party was
adopted as the cover for the oper-
ations OF the sinister and un-
American influences that arc
striking at the foundation of law
and order and that are causing
= the state of unrest throughout the
Country. In Baltimore City last
Spring, these eleIfrcnts ioified to
defeat George Weems Williams
for Mayor, and William L. Broen-
ing was the result, the whole DE
velopment being against the
peace, dignity and government of
the State"
The astute bosses of the Re-
publican machines recognizing
the power of the forces that could
make Mr.. Broening Mayor of
Baltimore City, and, too, against
a. man OF the calibre of George
,Weems Williams, grew bold
enough to marshal these same
forces behind one of MIR. Broen-
ing's assistants in the States At
torney's Office Harry W.. Nice,
for the exalted office of Gov
ernor For downright brazen eff
frontery this move was without
parallel in the history of the
State. A virtual declaration to
the people of Maryland by
Messrs. Weller Jackson and
France that having captured the
City Hall of Baltimore by the
-"Hessian" r troops they had
brought under their colors, they
would now proceed to capture
the State House at Annapolis by
the same forces. They made no
prctcnsc of picking out Mr.. Nice
because of any special fitness for
the governorship. <and no serious
argument was offered by them
on this point during the cam
paign. lie was elected solely be-
cause he was thought to be the
best bait for the revolutionary
vote that conferred behind Broen-
ing, and, joining with large NUM-
bers of Democrats. who strayed or
were lured away from their party,
swept hun into power last May.
These Republican leaders did not
figure on Mr.. Nice as a vote-get-
ter because of special ability or
qualifications, the refutation of
this being self-evident, but be-
cause they figured CD that the
Democrats who desired Williams
FOR Broening would stay put"
for Broening's understudy; and
(e) that an the voters who be-
longed to the forces of agitation
or unrest and to the "agin the
Government" class, would renew
their adoption of the Republican
party as the best cover for their
activities.

OF the country than all other diseases
put together. and for years it was sup-
posed. to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is 6 local disease
greatly influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine. manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional

prevalence of similar amuse-
ments at SO many other places.
A good crowd was in attendance
and although it rained late in
the evening the downpour ceased
in time for the dancers to tip the
light fantastic to the wee small
hours the following day. There
was plenty of eats and all kinds
of amusements were INDUCED in
for the benefit of those going
there to spend the day.

by his son, Ernest, passed thru
here the first of the week enroute
to Cooley. Mr.. Hogan is banker
I. E. Pollock's superintendent
of building construction in Flag
staff and made the trip to Cooley
to look after some work now 60
ing on there. This is Mr.. Ho-

of Arizona in about t. enty
years. He assisted in the build
ing of the county court house at
Holbrook over twenty-years ago
and also the construction of the
