large centers of population, retain
their native languages and customs.
all of which are hostile to the spirit
which should govern patriotic Ameri-
cans have rendered the cities. tho.
greatest menace to the well-being
ard prosperity of the Country. These
people have brought with them acros
the sea all the ancient grudges and
race hatreds, which are today causing
r.ost of the troubles prevalent in the
old world. They do not understand
our system of government, they do not
understand any of our ideas of life
and they do not care to understand
them. They crowd together in such
manner, live to themselves to such
an extent, that not until the third or
fourth generation, will their descend
ants become really and truly Amer
canized, and fit for citizenship-and
many of them even generations hence,
will still remain alien in all important
particulars, and thus unit to exercise
the right to participate in the selec-
ton of rulers, and in the other func-
tons of citizenship and government.
Our forefathers in their great desire
to increase the population of the
Country, in years gone by, enacted
laws of such a character that all sorts
of undesirable aliens were admitted
without any restriction whatever.
most of whom were racially and in
ali other respects thoroughly unfit for
such civilization as ours was intend
ed to be, who have never assimilatn1
with the descendants of the men and
women who settled this country land
established this system of govern
rent, and they and their descendants
are incapable of assifilation, and will
always remain SO, and who in reality
ever wish to become part and parcel
of our civilization. They are here.
however, and the only thing to be-
done is to restrict their power and in
ftuence to the smallest possible extent,
and it is not out of bounds to say that
at least one-third of the population of
Baltimore city is composed of men
and women who are utterly unfit tc
exercise the right of suffrage, who
have no comprehension of their duties

any better qualified than they are at
the present time. They are inherently
and racially impossible as active and
intelligent parts of the body polite in
such State as Maryland.
The latest Senatorial candidacy to
re brought to the front, is that of Elk
Congressman Charles p. Coady. From
time to time your correspondent has
mentioned Mr.. Coady as strong pos
sibility for the democratic nomination
hut there was an apparent hesitation
or the part of those leaders and 9TH
crc who were supposed to favor his
nomination, to push the matter. Re-
Gently however there has been a re-
vival Of the talk regarding the Ex-
, Congressman from the third District,
and it was reported around town this
week, that the State and City leaders
were taking him into serious consiG
el alton as candidate. 1t was also
reported that Senator Smith and his
supporters throughout the counties,
were ready to back Mr.. Coady, pro-
vided Mr.. John j. Mahon and the CITY
organization would join with them in
such movement. Mr.. Mahon has in
timated that he is ready to do all in
his power to aid in securing the NOM
ination for Mr.. Coady, and it is now
possible that there may be combina-
ton of the City and State forces in ia
vor of him. Whether he will be will
ing to go into a fight with Mr.. Norris
IN the field is uncertain, for there is
no doubt but that the President of the
Senate will fight to the end, and those
who know him and his popularity, will
rot underestimate his strength in
primary contest.
