AS the primary election for Inc
United States Senate is TO be he'd on
the 18th, | think it is we'll for the
people of the County to know as
much as possible about the different
candidates who are aspiring to re
present Maryland in the Congress OF
The United States. There are five
candidates. three Democratic and
two Republican,; four of whom, two
Republican and two Democratic can
didates are from the City of Baltl-
more. The four Baltimore candI-
dates all favor the return to the
saloon and unrestricted sale of
whiskey with all it's evils and the
reputation of the Constitution ana
the Laws enacted under it to pro
hibit the sale of liquor. All the
candidates on both sides who are be-
ing backed by the different political
organizations are from Baltimore
City, thus it would seem that bCth
| party organizations are trying to
throw Maryland's representation N
The United State Senate into the
hands of the same old gang.
AS Democrats, we shall be called
upon to judge between three candi-
dates, David J. Lewis, William |.
! Norris and w. Cabell Bruce. These
men have all represented Maryland
| in Legislative bodies and it is from
; the records which they made while
SO representing our State that they
! should be judged.
Mr.. Bruce was elected to the
/ Do CitT
! With a democratic majority of one
! in the Senate, he made himself pres
ident of that body by threat to join
the Republicans if the Democrats
did not take him up and make him
I president While he was in the
Senate he pursued the same course
| in regard to every matter in which
he and Baltimore City were interest
ed Whenever his fellow members
hesitated he did not hesitate on any
| occasion to use the same threat, that
he would join the Republicans and
carry his point. AS result OF ms
membership in the State Senate, |
| fail to find one single instance where
| he ever advocated or carried through
any measure this is of help or assist
ance to the farmers of Maryland, or
| to the poor people Of the State. Hav-
| ing travelled through his whole term
| as Senator, lie did not leave behind
| him, one single monument to recon-
| mend him to the voters at any future
election. He has been Chief Coun-
selor to The Public Service Commits
| sion ever since It was organized anu
| has on every occasion bee ready to
| render an opinion that would benefit
the Public Service Corporations, but
has never so far as l have learned,
ever aided the poor man or the work
| ing man, in any manner. His
record has been made. He has made
| it, and the people of Maryland
should require him to stand on that
| record.
Mr.. Norris, the other Baltimore
| City representative of the Demo
| cratic party in this contest, has also
been a member of The Maryland
Senate and President of that illus
| [. Gus body. Like his fellow poll
t.. u, Mr. Bruce. he 4 & has left no
| az . ument cf which n y MarylanGcr
| @..uuid be proud. He IS SO strchg-
| ly identified with the whiskey inter
| ests of tht STATE and Nation, that it
was pflHclp3lly through MS lhhu'll'S
| that no law was passed at the | st
! Session OF The Maryland Legislature
to help The United States in enforc-
| ing the VolStead Act against he sale
! Of ligGor Mr. NG:Il= was o:e of
the men Who WI: E'A Gay Il night

| making it partner in the race track
| gambling, which is now going on in
our State, but which is SO obnoxious
! to morality and common decency
| that it has been driven from every
State except cur one poor Common
wealth Of Maryland. By the united
| efforts of Mr.. Bruce and Mr.. Eo' rls,
| the State of Maryland stands To-Day
before the people of this union, in
the degraded position OF being the
| only State which allows race track
! gambling and which has no concur

| VClstead Act. The two Baltimore
| candidates stand for toe open saloon,
