SENATOR'S RECORD.

The Baltimore American, Republic
can, Tuesday says:
Reinforced by Il large number OF
influential Republicans throughout
the city. the executive committee of
the Bruce Republican Club is now
actively engaged opposing the candi-
dacy of Senator France. Work is be-
ing conducted at present by local
committees in half the wards of the
city and over third of the counties.
At the meeting of the committee
held yesterday, +. Ridgely Simpson,
secretary TO the committee, reported
that among the counties where local
branches are at work are AlleSany'
Baltimore, Caroline, Dorchester, Fred
crick, Howard, Prince George and Wi
cOmiCo. Other county branches are
being organized as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and the information being rcceiv-
ed from correspondents of the club
in the counties generally is most en-
cCuraGing.
The committee has unanimously
adopted resolutions rcpudiating Sen
atOr France. These declare that the
Senator's candidacy lis plenace to
the public safety, welfare and pro:
pcrity. because he has consorted with
people who are openly opposed TO the
institutions of our Government, has
aided and abetted COmmuniStic
Government which openly seeks the
overthrow of this and all organized
Governments by revolution md blood
shed, threatening all property rights
and orderly business prosperity, ana
has regulated his own party on the
floor OF the Senate and betrayed the
interests Of his own State by prevent
ing the appropriation of many mil
lions of dollars for Federal public
works throughout the State in order
that he might fill the Congressional
Record with some pet and fantastic
theory of his own: because he has
converted the Government Printing
Office into I personal campaign pub
licity bureau at the Government CX-
pense to further his own candidacy
by IN unwaranted abuse of his frank
ing privilege, because it is impossible"
TO predict which side OF any issue Will
receive his support; and his record
Of public Accomplishment and
private ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is the
laughing stock of his colleagues and
the disgrace Of his State"
The resolution then goes on to say:
THE good cOlured citizens of ,Sary
land. constituting Il large number of
his constituents. have been exploited
by him on election day, only to be
rewarded by him when in office by
advocating the sending of the cOlOred
people to Africa and by blocking the
passage Of the Dyer anti-lynching bill
by the introduction Of a pet measure
of his own, and then permitting both
bills to be pigeOn-holed in committee
All Republicans are asked to vote
for William Cabell Bruce, in order
to promote the best interests OF their
party bv the complete eradication OF
"Franceism."
