POLITICS
By The Occasional Prophet

Maryland Republicans met in con-
vention yesterday to ratify nomins-
tions for State Offices made at the
recent primaries. The delegates were
as peppy as the stake horses NJ
Havre de Grace.
The interesting thing about the con-
vention was that a sample of what
the Republicans in the nation may
have in the way Of a platform was
adopted. 1t is said that Will HAYS,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, personally drafted the
national planks OF the Maryland
platform after a conference here last
week with Senator Lodge and a long
talk with Senator Penrose at Phil
adelphia. 1t S said that the Pro-
gressives In the Senate and House
were not given a chance TO look
at the planks.
! Here tbey are:
Treaty Of Peace.
we congratulate our State and
nation IN the patriotism Of our peo-
pie and the unexceIIed .leroism Of
our soldiers and sailors whose sac
isfrs and bravery at home AMI
abroad brought the great war to a
victorious close
we believe that a treaty Of peace
based on this victory should per
mt no surrender of our independent
national sovereignty. We stand firm
ly against provisions which would
take from Congress TIE constitu-
tIonal right TO declare war and to
determine when our armed forces
should he sent TO foreign countries:
which would interfere with the abso-
lute control over our domestic af-
fairs. such as immigration and the
tarlf laws: which would in any way
abridge the policy of the United
states as laid down in TIE Monroe
doctrine: which would impose upon
this country any obligation to meddle
IN the disputes among foreign ma
tions. We favor reservations that
will preserve American rights and
sovereignty to the American people.
"Bsrdensome Taxes
The waste, extravaganza and in
competency Of the Democratic ad-
ministrstion in nation and State are
directly responsible for the excessive
discriminating ard unnecessarily bur
densome taxes and have largely con-
trihuted to the present high cost

tional administration in deliberately

"Mismanagement of Railroads.
I'VE hold the present Democratic

for the inefficient political manage
ment of the railroads. the mail serv-
ice. the telephone and telegraphs,
which has resulted in an undue in
crease of charges. in poor service
and in intelerable inconvenience to
