It frames the issue as essential to free, fair elections and legitimate governance.
Citizens across parties in Caroline County call for a progressive election reform to end vote buying and intimidation. They argue a secret ballot has halted such practices and urge passage of a law ensuring pure government when the General Assembly meets next winter.
An editorial argues Theodore Roosevelt’s support for mixed schools and presidential equality signals a shift in Republican politics. It warns Maryland voters that supporting Republicans could advance race-mixed education and marriages, urging a full Democratic ticket to preserve white voter control.
In ante election days Republicans claim reform, yet in office they wield probity as a monopoly.

Whitby sued for old-law pay, accepting what predecessors received, seeking only to serve as elected. The piece argues Republicans unfairly shielded from criticism and use the Whitby case against his opponent.
