SHAMEFUL PERFORMANCE.

1t is enough to make a blind Re-
publican partisan blush with shame
to own fellowship with a man like
Senator Sherman, Of Illinois, who is
associated with Borah and Johnson
and Reed, the Judas from Missouri
in going about the country seeking
to discredit. President Wilson and
defeat the League of Nations. Even
the Baltimore News, which has been
vigorously opposing the League, has
lost patience with Sherman, who has
shown himself to be mere blather-
skite. The manner in which he pre-
sumes to meet the clear, logical
high-minded, unanswerab1e argu-
ments of the President can not b.
other than disgusting to clear-think-
ing Americans.-From the Sykasville
Herald.

NICE SOME ACROBAT.

: 1t has developed that Mr.. Nice, the
Republican nominee for Governor
whose speech of acceptance and
whose party platform are critical OF
the league of nations, took vigor-
GUS stand last January in favor OF
the league.
That was at the time President
Wilson was in Europe fighting for
the organization of the league, with
opposition among the reactionaries
Of Europe and bitter criticism among
the Republican leaders in Congress,
marking every stage of his work.
Mr.. Nice at that time had no idea
of being the Republican candidate
for Governor this fall.
Mr. Nice, in his speech Of accept
ance Thursday of last week, charged
the Wilson administration with an
attempt to substitute International
ism for the integrity and indepen-
dence Of America" That was a
stronger condemnation of the league
than that expressed in the party
platform, which called for what IL
known as the mild reservations"
Those are the reservations to pro-
tect the Monroe Doctrine, and the
nations control of such matters as
immigration and the tariff, all of
which President Wilson and his
supporters contend is plainly pro-
tected in the league covenant.
Mr.. Mica, it is understood, felt
that he had to speak more strongly
than the party platform, because
certain elements among the Republi-
cans are chagrined by the platform
reference, while the Democrats are
calling it a hedging plank.
The stand of Mr.. Nice in favor of
the league was taken when he, with
Mayor Broening, w. Bladen Lowndes
and other prominent Republicans,
signed the resolutions, adopted at a
public meeting on January II, which
had been called to rally support for
the league. Governor Harrington
presided over the meeting. The
resolutions declared for the sort OF
linternationalism that the league now
pending in the Senate provides.

It is difficult at this time to excite
any community of the American peo-
ple over local questions. The mat
tiers most interesting, and most IN
nortant. to all sections are, almost
exclusively, national and interna-
tional ones The establishment
OF peace, lowering of the cost OF

disputes and an Improvement in the
relations between employers and
employes-these are the things upon
which the hearts and thoughts of
the people are set and which tend
to curb the interest in local affairs.
In these circumstances it might be
expected that the present Guberna-
torial campaign in Maryland would
he attended with great deal OF
apathy. There are at least two rea-
sons, however, why the Maryland 70
