A brief, OCR fragment appears to list a name and a date, indicating a possible obituary or notice line. The readable portions mention a person named Jounson Nson with a date of 1905, suggesting a historical notice or archival entry rather than a full article.
A lengthy Maryland political column discusses farmers and packers, the canning industry’s regional impact, and the death of ex Gov Lloyd Lowndes. It surveys election law history from Reform League reforms to 1904 Wilson bill changes, noting ballot design shifts, illiteracy issues among African American voters, and the balance between majority and minority party access to the ballot.
L Victor Baughman argues the ballot law, created by the Reform League and enacted by a Democratic legislature, uses impartial judges and clerks from both parties. He asserts it disenfranchises both black and white voters, harms Democrats more in some districts, and criticizes claims of fraud after Democratic wins. The piece cites Baltimore Sun editorials on fairness and warns against corruption in electoral contests.
The Denros Journal praises its neat calendar printed on its own presses and notes the Journal is up to date in multiple respects.
