(By Gustav A. Ludloff.)
Every male Democratic voter in the ;State of Maryland has a duty to perform in the coming presidential campaign, and that is to impress their wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and sweethearts with the importance of registering and voting to protect themselves against a possible domination by the lower element of politician.
Unlesto our women are active in getting registered and voting this fall the State will be hopelessly Republican, for there are 67,000 colored women eligible t,o vote, and it is safe to assume that ninety per cent, of these will vote the Republican ticket.
The better element of our women must seek to protect themselves and assist the leaders of the Democratic partv to bring out the solid vote of those women near, and dear to the hearts) of Democratic husbands, fathers, -brothers and sweethearts.
If we are to continue our government of State and National affairs in •a business-like manner, we must pu> every effort forth to secure the votes of our women, and it musst be impressed on their minds that they 1 register and vote to retain the lard of electorate and office hole!'
Carville D. Benson, in recent speeches in his district, persistently urged the ladies to stand by their men and do all in their power to bring out the entire women vote,
Mr. Benson further urges the Democrats of the State to bear in mind the importance as well as the necessity of particular stress being centered on the task of registering our women, tor at this time it is of greater importance than any other, for the first vote of our women will be cast in a presidential election.
The indifference of a great many of Mir mothers, sifters and daughters: toward the right of suffrage has been elearlv demonstrated during the police census. This should be overcome at once and there is! but one way to do it; that is for the leaders of the party to impress the male voter of the house with the fact of duty to his party and family which he can perform, by the persistent education of the women ¦s in his homo, setting forth in an
and NS.fi'dh, and themselves as mothers and wives to exercise their right of suffrage, and to cooperate with the breadwinner of the home to uphold the standard of Democracy and good government of our State and Union.
Few men realize that the granting of the vote to the women means that a great surprise and a turn in the political situation is in store for both parties.
No one can assume or predict the outcome in the coming election, but
there is one thing certain and that is, unless, the women who have become the pivot of the result are educated and urged to register, a certain element of women and politicians will control the affairs of our country.
The high standard of business men and women must be recognized, and the positions opened to the citizens in the State and Union must be occupied by itficient, conscientious officeholders, but if our better element of women do not avail themselves of an opportunity of a voice in the affairs of our State and Country the/lower element will get control of trrese positions and they
be filled by inefficient, irresponsible people. i Democratic women of Maryland! Your Senator, your candidate for Congress and your candidates for {President and
president of this country will need your aid in the comng campaign. The call to rally to the- cause of Democracy has been sounded As mothers, wives and daughters you owe a duty to the great Democratic party, and like you so gallantly responded when the call to arms was sounded to fight the enemv overseas, I am sure you will" again answer the call of the leaders of this great party.
men of the Second Congressional District of Maryland! Your vote, wisdom and intellect are solicited by Car-ville D. Benson, Democratic candidate for Congress, to support the entire Democratic ".-ticket this fall. Impress' vour neighbor, sister and daughter with the importance of exercising the right of suffrage and assist in registering the female vote this fall. Register just as soon as you are called upon and then seek your friend and neighbor, impress and urge them to register and vou will in a great measure insiure
oteclion of your rights as citizen an&v voter.

The pt-esence of a clause in the proposed charter for Baltimore county legalizing the single tax principle was one of the surprising features of the document, brought to light at a recent meeting by the Non-Partisan Anto-Charter League of Baltimore County. The gathering was called for the purpose of organization. Former Judge N. Charles Burke was unanimously elected chairman; Laban Sparks, a prominent Republican of this county, treasurer, and the chairman was authorized to appoint a secretary. Among those present were S. Duncan Black, Henry Lay Duer, Dr. W. P. E, Wye, J. Summerfield Crowther, Fred L. Pfeffer, Henry P. Pielert, of Bengies;, William Pinkney Whyte, o-f Ruxton, and James J. Lindsay, of Towson.
Judge Burke mace a careful review of the charter, bringing out the point that the single tax idea had been incorporated in it. He also brought out the fact that the council of 15, one member from each of the election districts of the county, could create a-public loan without a referendum. An addti'onal important fact; brought "'it i during the round-table talk was that ! a minority would rule tne county if I the charter should be adopted, ifince ten election districts, with a to less than 10 per cent, of the assessable basis of the whole county and less than 25 per cent, of the population would have two-thirds of the membership. Each district, not the county as a whole, would send a member. There would, therefore, be no veto power. It was also pointed |
