New York, Sept. 9.-America well
coined General Pershing home. Hon
Ofed by foreign rulers and govern
mentS, the cOmmander-in-chief of the
mightiest army that ever fought it's
way to victory under the Stars and
Stripes, returned to his own folk to
meet a greater honor than any for
eign pOtentate or power could confer
the thanks of the worlds greatest
planned the decisive blow in demOc-
racy's supreme fight against tyranny.
The stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron self-control amid
the shambles of the Meuse and the
blood-drenched forest of ArgOnne was
not proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roareu from
hundreds Of thousands of thrOats and
the hearts of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion as
he responded to the greetings extend
ed by Secretary of War Baker in his
own behalf and that of the President
as well as the welcoming addresses of
representatives of the Senate and
House, the state and city.
AS his car passed slowly through
the cheering multitudes which jammed
the roadway from the Battery to the
city hall, Pershing attempted in vain
to maintain his composure. At first
he replied to the cheers with the stiff
salute which military etiquette de-
mands, but he was soon carried away
by the storm of applause which swept
in great gusts about him. Rising to
his feet, he waved his cap above his
head with a boyish gesture which told
how deeply he was stirred, while the
grim lines of his bronzed face broke
into a smile which was as infectious
as it was rare.
"The American 'doughbOy' is the
finest soldier in the world, and it
didn't take the Germans long to find
it out" declared General Pershing in
an interview granted newspaper men.
1--WE boasted little probably of the
peculiar QUALITIES VI inc AlHoi lCdH
fighting man, but his aggressiveness,
initiative and devotion as a member
of the American expeditionary forces
gives us every right to boast and to be
proud of him." the commander said.
II suppose it is because of the way
the American boy is raised, due to the
fact that he is encouraged to develop
his initiative and that he feels at any
crisis of his life that he is master of
his own destiny"

RITCHIE ELECTED BY 1G5.
Democrats Control Both Senate and
House.

The official tabulation Of the re-
turns from the entire state give Mr.
Ritchie 165 over Mr.. Nice, his op-
ponent for the Governorship OF
Maryland The Senate is under
Democratic control, also the House.
TAFT, Republican State chairman
may ask for a recount for Governor
on account of the small plurality OF
Mr. Ritchie.
But prima facie evidence Of fraud
is necessary before ballot boxes can
be opened The Republicans have
no such evidence, otherwise it would
not be necessary to ask the Demo
Gratis to withhold objections. The
election officials are evenly divided
among both parties and should be
.humiliating to the Republican off
Gals il fraud - would be charged
against them
Only the Legislature can legally
review the Gubernatorial vote. Hence
a survey of this vote by any set OF
individuals other than the members
of the House OF Delegates is some
what out Of order. 1t is, therefore
a safe guess that Mr.. Ritchie will, il
sufficiently urged, simply advise Mr.
TAFT to take his case to court and
abide the issue.
The House OF Delegates il Demo
cratic. If the Republicans have nc
well-substantiated charges of fraud
it is not at all likely that it will put
itself to any trouble to prove thai
MIR. Ritchie failed to get majority
Such course would be entirely out
of accord with political practice
The House is in the habit of accept
ing the returns as made by the Board
of Canvassers and then proceeding
with other business. The fact that
the Gubernational vote il very close
will, perhaps, encourage rather thar
discourage the Democratic House in
adhering to this custom.
! A Legislative recount would CON
sumo the whole 80 days allotted tc
the session without changing the re
suit as indicated by the tally sheets
