Winchester's Letter
From Baltimore
CONTINUED FROM PAGE II

INO.N IN ! Ell i NUN L AVE
ant foreign element in the city slums
more power for evil and will result in
great danger to the conservative
forces which have always controlled
Maryland public affairs, and have
made the State one of the safest and
best governed Commonwealth in the
republic. The other amendment
changes the whole systems of cleo
tons and the tenure of office of all
the State officials, County officials
and members of the General Assem-
bly,, and does away with all the old
time-honored checks and balances
which have worked well in both
State and Nation ever since the foun-
dation of the republic. No other
State in the whole Union has ever
attempted such a change as that pro-
posed by the amendment regarding
the terms of office of the Members of
the General Assembly and the amount
of money saved by the reduction of
the number Of elections would be
much more than counter balanced by
the evils which would undoubtedly re-
suit to the public service by such a
revolutionary experiment. And it is
gratifying to be able to say that i
very large number of the people of
Baltimore City are as strongly OPP
posed to these changes in the consti-
tuition of the State as are the people
of the counties regardless of party
To increase the City representation
and thus lower the character of the
General Assembly would be the
height of folly. To give the foreign
population more power. to fill up the
House of Delegates with a horde of
Poles, Russians, Czheko-S loSakians.
Juge Slavs. Italians, Germans and
other former denizens of the slums
of the Central and Southern European
cities would be an act of civic insan-
ity, and the intelligent American
Marylanders should see that the
whole scheme is overwhelmingly re-
jected. These people should never
have been granted the right to vote,
and any attempt to give them more
power and influence in public affairs
should be thrown into the political
dump heap with indignant scorn and
contempt, no matter who may be its
advocates. whether journalistic or
otherwise.
There are more than a few indica-
lions at the present time that a
Democratic victory in Maryland next
month will depend on the work done
by the loyal and regular forces of
the party in the counties. 1t should
be remembered what was done by
certain influential elements of the
party here in Baltimore six years ago
and two years ago in the last two
Senatorial elections. In both those
elections the Democratic nominees
carried the counties by good major
ties, but were defeated through
treachery here in this town. Two
such lessons in recent years should be
a warning to the county Democrats
and they should exert themselves to
the utmost to prevent a repetition
of such a catastrophe. The fact that
the registration in the city shows n
considerable Democratic majority does
not insure a Democratic majority at
the polls when certain elements of
much power and influence, but utterly
lacking in principle. are disloyal to
the party faith which they are sup
posed to sustain.

license to so hunt or kill. II is I'M
lawful for any person to set, place

other similar devices within the

catch of Heilmann' s. drive close to
the wall in the ninth after misjudg-
ing care of a smash from Rigney's
bat in the same frame.
Brewer made nice play in field
ing Heilmann's bunt for a force-out
