Cattle Disease Has Reached MarylardThe foot and mouth disease, a cat-

tle plague which has caused the Fed-eral Government to establish a quar-antine in several of the middle West-ern States and also Pennsylvania, hasspread to Maryland, it was announcedby Secretary Melville of the StateLive Stock Sanitary Board.

Reports reached the Board thatthere were 30 cases on nine farms inWashington county, near Hagerstown.On these nine farms there are in all177 head of cattle. The farmers whohave the infected cattle bought themin Chicago, being what is known asstock cattle, that is cattle bought forfattening purposes. Chicago has beenfound to be in the center from whichthe disease has been spread to otherStates.

Dr. Lawrence Hickman, chief veter-inarian for the Live Stock Board, ac-companied by a veterinarian from theUnited States Department of Agricul-ture, went to Washington county tomake an inspection of the infectedherds and decide what shall be done toprevent the disease spreading furtherin this State,

Under the quarantine established bythe P'ederal Government no live cattlecan now be shipped from Chicago, thisbeing a move in the effort to stampout the plague. Cattle infected withthis disease, which is said not to befatal in itself, do not recover but haveto be killed as a means of preventingits spread.

on the farm of Lawrence B. Levy, be-tween Elkton and Chesapeake City,were destroyed by fire together with alarge quantity of baled hay, earlylast Sunday morning. The alarm was

Results In The StateThe results of Tuesday’s election in

this State were surprising in more

ways than one.In the first place, John Walter

Smith fell about 25,000 votes short ofhis expected majority, only beatingCol. E. C Carrington by about 15,000.About 12,000 of this majority was re-

ceived by Smith in Baltirmoe City, hisshowing in the counties of the Statebeing surprisingly poor!

In the next place the near-defeat ofJesse D. Price in the First Congres-sional District seems hardly believ-able. This district is counted safely

Democratic by several thousand, butPrice only pulled through by 300 ma-jority. The change of 150 votes wouldhave licked him. This is a good deal ofa surprise, doubtless quite a shock to

Mr. Price and the Democratic machine.In the third place, young “Sid"

Mudd’s triumph over Johnson (Gor-

man’s candidate and brother-in-lawlin the Fifth Congressional Districtmust have hurt the “leaders” some;especially as the registration gave theDemocrats a majority of over 4,000 inthe district.

On the other hand State SenatorZihlman lost the Sixth CongressionalDistrict (Western Maryland) to Con-gressman Dave Lewis. This is a

strongly Republican District, and -sZihlman had made a vigorous cam-paign, it was expected ho would de-feat Lewis, despite the latter’s popu-larity and ability. But it was not to

be, the Democrats making every effortto pull Lewis through and succeeding.

The reurns from the election in theState are summarized as follows:

Results In GeneralThe reurns from Tuesday’s election

show a very decided swing of thecountry back to the Republican partyand its governmental policies. Thesplit caused by the Progressive partyof 1912 seems to be prety well healed,the vote cast by that party in Tues-day’s election being virtually negli-gible. The industrial situation seemsto have overshadowed all issues andisms and brought the Republicanparty back to place and power. Theenormous Democratic majority in thisCongress is almost if not entirely%viped out by Republican gains in theCongressional elections. Even “Un-cle Joe” Cannon has come back in Illi-nois. Up in Pennsylvania Boies Pen-rose not only was re-elected to the U.S. Senate, but a full roster of Repub-lican Congressmen are reurned fromthat State—swept into victory by thegeneral popular resentment at de-pressed business conditions.

In New York a Republican governorreceived the biggest majority evergiven a candidate in that State, withone exception, and President Wilson’shand-picked candidate for the U. S.Senate was defeated by som eSO.OOOby Wadsworth, Republican. Republi-can victories, beyond expectation, inan off year, were achieved also in NewJersey, Connecticut, Nebraska, etc.Ohio reurned to her Republican moor-ings. Our neighbor, little Delaware,has the privilege of electing only oneCongressman, but exercised it to electThomas W. Miller, the young son ofGovernor Miller, of that State.
