that business. MIR. Vanmeter has a

"L0NE HERMIT ENDS HIS LIFE

when he is said to have been Tilted by
a Philadelphia girl nearly half cen

world for life as hermit on Della

when he shot and killed himself.

latter. after his disappointment of the
heart. vanished. only to be found on
the island, seven miles above Tren-

Willis settled on the island thirty
nine years ago. 1t then was a mass
of dense underbrush. While he was
there he cleared a section Of it. and
cultivated. several acres to provide
food. He rarely left it.
When he did, the figure of the I'M

as he strobe through the streets OF
Trenton. His visits would be only
long enough for him to renew cloth

He was so inserarably associated
with the island that boatmen named
it for him. and Willis so cherished his
seclusion that when curious persons
ventrired upon it, he resented their
presence.

and record of Senator Fance

ship and record OF Senator rance.
Few thoughtful Republicans, il
seems 10 US, can fail to feel how poor
" the Republican nominee compares
with the Democratic when placed
side by side on their merits for popu-
lar inspection. COnceding everything
that can be fairly claimed for Senator
France in the way OF independence
and courage. the diSinterested and
bipartisan mind can render but one
verdict as it looks on this picture
then on that; as it studies Mr.. Bruce
and then studies Senator France. The
former stands for everything that
has heretofore been considered char
acteristic Of. this country, of its spir-
it, its principles, its purposes, of all
that we have been accustomed to re-
gard as symbolic of genuine Ameri-
Canism. The latter, on his own show
ing and judged by his own utterances
and PROPOSALS, stands not only for d
strange and spurious Americanism,
but for Z strange and spurious Re
publicanism
This is the effective way in which
Mr.. Bruce describes Senator Frances
"Americanism"
Singular 20 say, Senator France
often boasts of his Americanism. 1t
is a spurious Americanism, nau-
seous mixture made up partly of
the abstract truths of the Declara-
ton of independence and partly OF
the hateful teachings of Lenine and
TrotZky
The voters of this State will be
called upon in November to decide be
tween these two Marylanders who, liv-
ing in the same COmmOnweal are
intellectually and politically the anti
pOdes of each other. Thousands of
miles apart in viewpoint, in cOncep-
tons of problems and remedies, as
far removed from one another as d
. man in the moon from Il man on the
earth, Maryland must decide between
types which are uttely conflicting and
irreconcilable If she decides in favor
of Senator France, she must be pre-
pared for a life of political adventure
as wild and grotesque as a dream
er's distorted fancies in contradic-
lions and absurdities, more startling.
though not as amusing, than the ex-
travagances OF Alice in Wonderland.
Senator France is sui generis. He
is without exact parallel in public
life. without absolute duplicate. 50
far as we know, in any important po-
litical quarter, not even in Mr. Debs
or other apostles OF the rainbow
brotherhood OF BOlshevism, who, I'M
der the lamhskin Of humanity, carry
the jaws OF the wolf for all opponents
We do not believe Senator France
would crush fly with his hand. But
with his head what destruction he
might do. if his strange medley OF
ideas could be put into effect!
Perhaps we ought to be proud of
him as the only personality of his
kind. now ON exhibition in America.
But there is scarcely doubt that it
will be wise to withdraw him from
public life and rescue him from an
atmosphere that has created in him
only temporarily. we hope-many
distressing hallucinations.

power to organize precinct commit
tees for the purpose of bringing about
the defeat of Brookhart.
Colonel BrCokhart was denounced
in practically every one OF the score

sympathies
Herring was not mentioned by
