Yer's yer Uncle Jake back after er couple dozen weeks' vacation follering ther Demmykrat convention in Sanflam-bisco, and them days, them hours and them minutes what me and Mame spent and chucked erway at Bar Harbor is just rejunnated yer Uncle Jake same as he had some of them gol durn ole monkey glands sewed inter his throat.
YE GODS! Since we's been gone Gobbler's Knob ain't ther same place. Why, we's been missed so much that ther tears ahed by ther 'habitants jes caused er flood, what wrecked ther grist mill uf 'Ole Silas Rubendorff what crushed ole straw hats up inter shredded wheat and nigh 'bout drouned Ole Susie Soreback, ther Knob's famous baritone singer. 'Taint no use ar-guin', it's er gol durn good feeling ter be missed.
HOLY MOSES! Yer Uncle Jake sure is durn glad that he wasn't born under ther crab star, and is a blame siite more satisfied with being so handsome than if he was er chronic crab, er grouch, er dispep-tic, numerical ailer, er disgruntled fish, and er dreamer what thinks ther whole durn world is turning on its axis agin him. Sech er 'xistence must be ther curse uf life and death, ther sweet realization of all. 'Taint no use fer yer ter laugh, it's er disease what there ain't no cure fer.
SIZZLING CAT FISH! Ther ancient and honorable, disgruntled, distinguished and dissatisfied Wm. R. Price, what hails from up 'round the Timonium Fair grounds and what's one of ther leading lights in ther Taxpayers? conflumigation and what's also ther conflab's secretary, ain't had much to say with pen ancl ink in answer ter Jedge Charlie Burke lately. Reckon ther ancient and honorable Timoniumite realizes that ther Jedge is jest er little too much fer him ter articulate ¦with and's been keeping under cover in the woodshed up at ther fair grounds. From all 'pearances that there new chcarter airi't goner mount to much. 'Pears, like peeple's jest beginning ter know "what er blame nuisance it ud be, and they's goiner rise up in force agin it. Them there radicals what wants ter put ther thing over ain't caring much fer ther after 'fects. They's like all other fanatics, all what interests them is gifting their pet scheme across.
•SOUR PRUNE JUICE!

Ther Sandpaper will be rough, daily and handle everything from births ter deaths. Ther first feller ter contract fer advertising was ther ancient and honorable grave-diggings undertakers and professional em-balmer Burns, . uf Towsontowh, who's done heard that er epidemic er itch is. due at ther Knob and what 'xpects ter do er land office business in hanging-out crapes. But because brother Burns has taken 'vantage of ther Sandpaper, don't git ther impression it'll be er dead issue. On ther front page there'll be er kartoon by Simp Maclone, what's been studying fer er couple dozen nights from er correspondence, school up in 'Laska, and his kartoon is so well executed that he's marked on everything jest what it was so'si ther subscribers wouldn't be misled.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
Aggressive Speaking Tour Will Cover
Every Village And Hamlet For
Democracy's Cause.
(Special Correspondence to The Jeffersonian)—"The most agressive speaking campaign in the history of American politics will be conducted in behalf of the election of Governor James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt," said Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, in his firait statement following his appointment to be chairman of the Speakers' Bureau of the Democratic National Committee,
"Not a hamlet in disputed States will be overlooked in this determined effort to bring home to the people of the country the sterling qualities, \ the. broad statesmanship and constructive ability of the Democratic standard-bearers," continued Senator Harri»0n.
"With two such candidates and with the story of achievement we have to tell, we know that our speakers will have no difficulty in convincing the men and women of the country that the continuance of the Democratic party in power in the nation is the better part of wisdom.
"Every Democrat, man or woman, capable of carrying the Democratic message will be called on to do his or her share on the platform and stump. To them will be entrusted the duty of expounding the (unexcelled Governor Cox for progressive legislation in Ohio and the magnificent and constructive record i*£, the Democratic administration, botW executive and legislative, in Washington.
"Not only wilL. these speakers from coast to coast fell the true sjtory of progressive Democracy, but they will lay bare the unjust criticisms/ and unfair misrepresentations of the leaders of the Republican party and the reactionary record of its candidate.
"The challenge of the Democratic national organization- to its Republican adversaries is to come out into the open and submit \ the respective records of the two parties and opposj-ing candidates to the limelight of publicity. We have no fear of the result of such a contest of truth telirng. Through our army of speakers we will carry the Democratic slogan of 'Peace, Progress and Prosperity' to the people, confident of their verdict We invite the Republican party to meet us on this ground.

"Hilltop" Scene Of Attempted
Murder And Suicide On
Monday.
"Dick" Turpin's old place, "Hilltop," on the Eastern Avenue road, this county, again was brought into prom-inenece by an attempted murder and suicide which was staged there on Monday evening last, when James O'Neill shot his wife and then turned the revolver upon himself.
O'Neill died instantly, while his; wife was removed to a city hospital, where she is now a patient.
to participate in the coming presidential election. The census returns show that nearly 27,000,000 women will have the right to vote. Just how many will exercise their right of suffrage, and how their influence will affect the general result, remains to be seen, put in view of the record of the Democratic party on the suffrage issue it is believed at this time that the Democratic nominee for President will receive a majority of the feminine vote.
The immediate problem ahead, especially in this] State, is to get the new' voters on the registration books, so that they may be entitled to cast their s in the general election. Attorney General Armstrong has already ruled that no special legislation is necessary, but a great deal of work must be done by the election officials. It will be no small task to register the 300,000 or more women in Maryland who are eligible for suffrage. * Under the existing law, there are only two days for registration in Baltimore county before the November eleetion— Septmber 28 and October 5~. '
The Jeffersonian, on behalf of the Democracy of Baltimore county, congratulates the women of the county upon their newly won political freedom and nvtes them to affilate wth their party. The Democratic party has, with few exceptions, been the dominant party in Baltimore county ever since its creation. The county, under successive Democratic administrations, has achieved wonderful progress. It has been wll governed, and as a result is today the largest, wealthiest and most progressive and influential county in the State. While we believe a majority of the women of Baltimore county have heretofore been indifferent about suffarge, we believe that they will now take advantage of their polit-iirerogatiyes, and exercise wholesome influence in the government of the county, just as they have in every other movement looking tn the advancement of our civilization.
