Built Up Strong Organization. Mr. Mudd grew in power among the Southern Maryland Republicans and built up a strong organization.

This was the year ot the big Democrr tic revolt against ring rule in Maryland, which landed Lloyd Lowndes in the executive mansion.

Several months ago she is said to have swallowed bichloride of mercury tablets.

"I direct your attention to Mr. Gorman letter of acceptance. In It he has pub licly, boldly, frankly promised the people what he will do if elected.

"The real issue in this campaign is be lief in the integrity, honor and word of Arthur P. Gorman, and on this issue I calmly await the verdict of the people. "I do not ask you to take my word on the subject, but I tell you that certain publications that were bitterly hostile to him in the recent primary contest freely ond frequently in editorials admitted that Mr. Gorman's honesty and integrity was beyond reproach and that his word could be implicitly relied upon. If that was a fair estimate of him a month ago, can we not claim the same virtues for him now?" IHr.

Laird Wants Gnilty Ontlawed. Mr. Philip D. Laird, of the Service Commission, declared that neither he nor the Democratic party which he loved, condoned any offenses against the franchise that may have occurred in the late Primary election. Said he "The men who perpetrated wrongs were bad and lawless men, any my wish is that they be outlawed as such and never have another opportunity to besmirch their party of the ballot.

"But, unless you have men at the bal lot box who will not do wrong no law which vou may make will be any good, and unless you place men at the head of your State government who are of them selves upright you will have bad men at the ballot box. "The men you see before you are true to every part of the definite and explicit declarations of our platform and with this before us, a man is recreant to himself and his party whb fails to fight under his old and honored banner and do his part to maintain the purity of his party. "Turning to Mr. Gorman, the speaker said: "Sir, I have faith in you and your promises and I fervently urge these citizens of old Cecil county to stand by you." Senator Gorman brought down the house when he arose to speak. He made a rather short address, full of sense and eloquence.

ILL SINCE WIFE PASSED AWAY Funeral Tomorrow Morning Prom Homestead Became A Striking Figure In Maryland Politics. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Philadelphia, Oct 21. Sydney E. Mudd, former Congressman, and for many years Republican leader in that part of Southern Maryland known as the "Black Belt," died this morning at a'sanatorlum in this city.

Mr. Miidd, whose home was in La Plata, has been ill for more than a year. He was suffering from nervous breakdown and several days ago suffered a paralytic stroke. His health began to fail soon after the death of his wife, about two years ago, and once before he had cometdThiladelphia for treatment in the sanatorium. He ar rived there in May 1909, and remained for several months.

Mr. Mudd is survived by four children Sydney E. Mudd, Assistant District Attorney of Washington Griffin Mudd, a law student Thomas B. R. Mudd, a reporter for a Baltimore paper, and Mrs.

J. Carlisle Wjlmer.twhose husband is one of the appraisers of the port of Baltimore. The family homestead at La Plata is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer.

Messrs. Sydney E. and Griffin Mudd, and William Gilchrist, the former secretary of the deceased, went to Philadelphia to accompany the body from there to La Plata, where the funeral will take place Monday morning. Services will be held in St. Thomas' Catholic Church, several miles from La Plata, at 11 A.

but by whom has not yet been determined, the regular pastor being away, though he may return in time to conduct the obsequies. The pallbearers are yet to be selected. Had Friends In Both Parties. Baltimore politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, were shocked to learn of the death of Mr. Mudd.

While they knew he was a sick man, none of them believed that he was desperately ill. Although a regular Republican, Mr. Mudd had many friends among Democrats and personally they were fond of him. Whenever the Democrats gathered In Baltimore for a conference or convention Mr. Mudd would always show up.

He would loiter in the lobby of the Hotel Rennert and discuss politics with them. A Democratic conference without Mr. Mudd somewhere around was as unusual as a Republican conference and he not playing an important part in it. Mr. Mudd was in the saddle until his health failed.

It is true that just a few months prior to his illness he lost control of the Republican State Central Committee, but he retained much of his prestige as a State leader and many of his friends believed that, had he remained in good health, he would have soon recovered his lost ground. During his long Illness a number of Mr. Mudd's friends made new alignments, and thus his death will not be seriously felt by the workers, although they will always miss his advice and leadership. Democrats as well as Republicans joined hands yesterday in expressing their regret of his death and extending sympathy to members of his family. NOTED POLITICAL FICUEE His Foremost Work Keeping Naval Academy In Maryland.

The death of Sydney E. Mudd removes one of the most picturesque figures of Maryland politics. Ill health put him down and out. Had he kept In good physical condition, It is likely that he would have remained in Congress as long as he cared to go there. From the time he entered politics he ran thlhgs with a high hand in Southern Maryland.

He was absolute boss and dictator and brooked no Interference with his plans. Although much Of his power came from his control of the negro vote, he never used the usual oily arts of the Republican politician with the black men. He was rougher with them probably than any politician who ever needed their help, and at times his treatment of them savored of absolute brutality. He never truckled, but ordered them here and there, and they hastened to do his bidding and felt honored in doing He did not ask things of them; he demanded them, and they were freely given him. There was no "man and brother" business toward them with him.

No negro went in his front door or set in his parlor. If any of them wanted to see he went in the back way. Sydney E. Mudd knew the negro. Shrewd And A Spoilsman.

Mr. Mudd was one of the shrewdest politicians in the He was a spoilsman, and a bolder one never lived in Maryland. He had plenty of nerve as a politician, did daring things, many of them daring to the point of recklessness, yet he had abundant personal courage as well and was capable of big acts when it seemed good politics to do them. He was not afraid of any man. He was a.

law unto himself. That probably explains his character better than anything else. He did what it suited him to do, caring nothing for the opinions of the public. Neither did he tear what any man or set of men might be able to do to him politically or physically. He felt that he could always take care of himself.

A few years ago, at a meeting of the board of review of the Republican party at headquarters on West Fayette street, there was a sta my time over a factional contest from Howard county. Mr. Mudd represented George Dorsey Day, who was allied with his faction, while J. Clarence Oldfield represented the other side. Bitter charges were made by Oldfield, which were resented by Mudd, who called Oldfield a liar and started for him.

Oldfield drew a billy," and' there was every prospect of a beautiful mix-up in the crowded hail, but friends got between them and the fight was prevented. Had Brains And Ability. Mr. Mudd had plenty of brains and ability, and confessed spoilsman that he was, he knew enough to stand for good measures and help accomplish things that were for the benefit of his State and his nation, because It was good politics. And he made of politics not only a game, but a business.

His close friends were few, his acquaintances many, and he kept his hold not through affection but through keeping alive in his constituents that form of gratitude which is "a lively sense of favors yet to come," and through fear. He was an Implacable enemy and he never let up. This was shown in the conflict that arose between him and Mr. Adrian Posey over the Southern Maryland Republican Judgeship nomination a few years ago. Mr.

Posey wanted the nomination and Mr. Mudd would not let him have it, giving it to Gen. L. Allison Wilmer. Posey had been one of the closest friends of Mudd for years and bad put him In nomination for Congress on more than one occasion, speaking of him In the most flattering terms.

When, however, Posey fought him In this matter and would not take his "turn-down" with good grace, Mudd did everything in his power to destroy the Influence of his adversary, even going so far as to endeavor to have white Republicans in Charles county stricken from the registration books, using negroes as complainants and appearing as counsel for them. The fight resulted in the election of Judge Camalier. It ia 6aid that Mr. Mudd never forgave Mr. Posey for this.

In Politics When Almost A Boy. Mr. Mudd entered Southern Maryland politics when little more than a boy. He had wide family connections In that 6ec- tion. Most or tnem were democrats and he was originally a Democrat.

He was elected to the Legislature in 1879 Just after leaving school, when he was only 21 years old, having made his run on the Republican ticket. Mr. Mudd was a spirited youth, and after a time went to Prince George's county, where he remained for a while. Then he proceeded West and lived In Indiana for a of years. When he came back the Republicans took him up on account of his family connections.

At that time the Fifth Congressional district was strongly Democratic. He was nominated for Congress In 1888, running against the late Barnes Compton, who was returned as elected by about 500 votes. Mr. Mudd contested the election, present Federal Judge John C. Rose appearing as his counsel.

The Republican House of Representatives, which Thomas B. Reed was Speaker, seated hin. Mr. Mudd was alwaj.s a. great admirer of Speaker Reed, Gives State Candidates A Rousing Reception.

GOVERNOR PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Points To The Party Record For Achievement Lee, Poe And Gorman Also Talk. From a Staff Elkton, Oct. 21. Sturdy Democ racy woke the echoes here this erenlng. The night was black apd miserable, the roads dark, muddy and uncertain, and Cecil county farming people could not get Into town.

Early in the evening the local Democrats were as gloomy as the weather over the prospects, but when Elkton's electric lights gleamed and Elkton's fine band struck up "Maryland, My Maryland" the- townspeople crowded. Into Mechanics Opera House, filled every seat, made the band switch its position to give more room and filled the whole lower floor of the hall with interested hearers, who stood to imbibe Democratic doctrines expounded by the speakers. Elkton's fairest women came out for the occasion in fetching gowns to see the candidate, ajid Gov. Austin L. Crothers, their fellow-townsmen, from his prominent seat on the stage, beamed happily upon the as semblage.

Beside him sat Senator Arthur P. Gor man who the crowd fondly hoped would next succeed to the Gubernatorial chair. State Senator Blair Lee sat next, having made a flying trip from Talbot county. where he had been doing earnest work in massmeetings. Next was Edgar Allan Poe, candidate for Attorney General, while at the back of the stage were members of the.

local committee. Committee Meets Candidates. Messrs. Gorman and Poe on the trip to Elkton were joined by Gen. Murray Van-diver at Havre de Grace.

They were met at the station by a committee composed of Messrs. Thos. J. Murray, Dr. R.

M. Black, Ho ward Bratton, Dr. H. Arthur Mitchell, Dr. Daniel Bratton, George R.

Ash, W. D. Bratton, Frank R. Scott, II. Eugene Mackie, Wilmer D.

Thompson, R. Harry Logan, G. Clinton Logan, William B. Davis, William Brown, D. F.

Clendenin, Joseph Calvin of Henry, Judge R. B. Merritt, George E. L. Hess, M.

F. Magraw. Clinton Yerkes, William G. Jones, Prof. Carroll Edgar, Dr.

John H. Jamar and others. The meeting was called to order by Mr. T. J.

Murray, chairman of the State Central Committee for Cecil County. In the course of his remarks he assured the candidates that Cecil will, on November 7, be in line with a good majority for the Democratic ticket. Mr. Murray then proposed Mr. William S.

Evans for president of the gathering and turned the meeting over to him. The speakers were Messrs. Blair Lee, Philip D. Laird, Edgar Allan Poe, Governor Crothers and Senator Gorman. Governor's Banner Speech.

To Governor Crothers must be awarded the palm for delivering the banner speech of the occasion. With no attempt at oratory, but with an earnestness that imbued him deeply and impressed his friends and neighbors most markedly, he gave a concise account of what has been accomplished for Maryland in the recent past, and on this record he claimed the reward of retaining his party in power even though he was no longer to be at the helm of state. He said: "We have built and have under control 350 miles of good roads. We have purchased 200 miles of toll roads. There have been constructed 178 miles under the State aid system.

We have removed the toll gates on the York, Harford, Belair, Fred erick and Liberty roads, around Baltimore city, and will in a few days remove the Reisterstown tollgate. "I want to assure you that more miles of roads have been constructed since the passage of the law which permitted them than in any other State in this Union This has been done at a cost that compares most favorably with the cost in any other State. "The laws which were enacted at the time of the passage of the Good Roads law have, by more than $700,000, produced the sum necessary to, pay the interest on the road bonds and provide for the sinking fund, so that at the present time not one cent has been levied by direct taxes upon the people, nor, in my judgment, with the proper economy, need there ever be such a tax to complete the entire system. Cites Some Improvements. Among the striking features of this work might be cited such improvements as the Deer creek section, fn Harford county the Annapolis' boulevard, the purchase and the making free of the bridge across the Sus quehanna river, the construction of the bridge (which is now going on) across the Nanticoke river, between Wicomico and Dor Chester counties the improvement at Por ter's bridge, Cecil county the Harford road, in Baltimore city, with a large bridge in process of construction, making one of the most beautiful roads out of the city the jug bridge, In Frederick county, across the Monocacy, and the bridge across Cono cocheague creek, in Washington county the many beautiful sections of road in each county of the State, and it is probable that from 50 to 75 more will be advertised this year.

The organization for maintenance of these roads started with over $100,000 received from automobile licenses and which will amount to $300,000 within the next four years. The consequent increase in the assessable basis in the sections of the State through which these roads pass and the other advantages manifest make it absolutely essential to continue this work in the hands of the Democratic party which started the entire project which has been of so much import to Maryland. Points To Achievements. "These things, together with a new in corporation law, a United States primary Senatorial law, a pure food law, the, direct primary election law, the new health laws, the new assessment law, which has increased the taxable basis over 000; the game and fish laws, the automo bile law, the gas monopoly repeal law, the new banking law, the new State care of the insane law, the public utilities law, the new tobacco warehouse law, the important labor laws, the new law increasing representation from the city of Baltimore, the new educational law, the large number of important local laws for city and coun ty, the saving of over $300,000 in departmental economies, the magfllncent condition of the State's finances, the construc tion of buildings, costing over and a number of other wholesome and 6alu- tarv laws, eeneral and local, present a rec ord upon which the Democratic party can confidently ask to be continued in power to pass still further laws of the character set forth in the recent Democratic platform, so as to put the old State of Maryland just where she rightfully belongs as one of the most progressive in the Union. And the great work being done by State farmers' institutes and other work in the agricultural interests justify every claim made by our Blair Happy In Senator Blair Lee was peculiarly happy in his address.

He said he had just come from Trappe, Talbot county, now the greatest spot in the universe because it had produced Baker, the one and only Baker, whose two home-run swats had won two games of the world's championship baseball games. "This work of Baker," said Senator Lee, "is wonderful individual effort and skill. Still Baker plays the game by the rules of the game. There come times when team work is necessary, and then concerted force, brain, skill and fealty win victories. "This individual effort is what we Democrats exert when we hold our primaries where all are free to fight for our own part in the contest; those primaries that the Republicans do not have nor foster.

"After the primaries we Democrats bow to the will of the majority like men, and then we put in team work for the good of our State and free government." Poe On Election Frauds. Mr. Edgar Allan Poe said in part: "Speaking of election frauds, I would call attention to the fact that to Mr. Gorman more than to any other person in the community is due the fact that all the ballots cast in Baltimore are now being recounted by the grand jury. The decisive step that brought this about was his appointment of a committee of prominent lawyers and his request through it to the court that all legal doubts be resolved in favor of the right to open the ballot without first making out Former Senator Makes First Cam-, paign Speech In Years.

HOLDS BIG CROWD IN SALISBURY Goldsboroush And OtnerCa.ndtda.tes Also Deliver Addresses Leader Lashes Senator Gorman. From a Staff Correspondent. Salisbury, Mi. Oct. 21.

Former United States Senator George L. Wellington appeared on the stump In behalf of the Republican State ticket-today for the first time In a number of years. He addressed a crowded house In the Auditorium here this afternoon, showing much of his old-time rigor and being cheered again and again, It was a cordial greeting that the Republican State candidates received upon their arrival In this strong Democratic town. There were several hundred voters around the Peninsula Hotel when they arrived about noon. Several hours were spent in going through the streets and meeting voters.

The candidates were conducted by National Committeeman William P. Jackson and Marlon A. Humphreys. Long before the time set for the meeting the Auditorium was crowded to the doors. Some, unable to gain admittance, stood around the door during the entire meeting, which lasted for three hours.

The speakers were Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Morris A. Soper. John H. Cunningham and former Senator Wellington. E.

S. S. Turner, commander of the oyster navy under Governor Lowndes, presided. Wellington Answer Strans. Senator Wellington used the recent speech of Attorney-General Straus In Hagerstown as the basis for his remarks.

He denied every allegation of Mr. Straus and sought to prove from records that the Attorney-General's assertions were not founded on facts. In reference to Mr. Straus charge that the Republican party had' never enacted any remedial legislation for Maryland and was unable to give the "State good government, Mr. Welling ton declared: "It is true, and I defy any honest man to deny it, that the Republican party res cued this grand old State from the hands of an infamous ring in 1895, and restored civic liberty to the people." He then gave a history of the 1895 elec tion and said that with the power the people placed in the hands of the Repub lican party at that time It could have perpetuated Its hold for 30 years, as the Democratic party had done, he said.

The present public school system of the State was due to the Republican party. "From the Civil War until we came into power in 1895 the public school system had made absolutely no advancement under Democratic regime," he declared. Scores Roads Commission. In reference to the other measures for which Mr. Straus commended the Demo cratic party Mr.

Wellington said "The mouthpiece for the present admin lstration, Mr. Straus, praised the admirable road I partially agree with him. No doubt it is a good law, but no law is bet ter than its administrators. The Good Roads Commission under Governor Croth ers has spent more money and built fewer miles of roads than any other set of men possibly could have done." Mr. Wellington also declared that the Public Utilities Commission was valueless and should never have been created.

He scored the Senatorial Primary law as foreign to the genesis of the American government and said that the statute had been proven to be full of holes. In reference to the Corrupt Practices act Mr. Welling ton said j.nat diii maaes me smile. I agree. however, that if any set of men in the world needs a corrupt practices act it is the Democratic ring.

What good does It do when it is administered by the ring for its own advantage? It is a nullity and, as now administered, puts a premium on perjury." Mr. Soper dwelt at length on the record of Senator John' Walter Smith in Con gress, particularly his support of the lumber schedule of the Tariff bill and bis vote In defense of Senator Lorlmer, of Illi nois. Meeting: Held At Ntghr. There was even a larger crowd present at the night meeting than in the afternoon Mr. Goldsborough was the principal speaker.

He attacked the Wilson Ballot law, denouncing it as iniquitous and designed to disfranchise not only negroes but independents and white Republicans "If I am elected Governor," he said. won't try to have a law kept on the statute book because It may help my party to get offices to which it has no right, when know in my heart that this law gives op portunity for crimes which disgrace the State and make every Marylander worthy of citizenship In a free country ashamed of himself and of his birthplace. You can choose between us. "I would rather lose the office we both seek than feel a single Democrat had been defrauded of his just rights. I don't know which of us you will elect, but I believe I do know which one of the two talks like a man who will give the people a square deal." The other speakers of the evening were the State candidates and former Con eressman Josiah Kerr, of Dorchester county.

Mr. Goldsborongh Goes Home. After the meeting Mr. Goldsborough was taken in an automobile to his home at Cambridge, where he will spend Sunday. The other candidates returned to Baltimore on the midnight train.

However, it was by no means as bad as the Schaefer House of two years later.

Mr. Mudd, taking his cue from the methods of Speaker Reed, appointed a committee of rules, of which he was a member, and endeavored to run things on the Reed plan. His methods were high-handed, and only such legislation as he wanted went through, no matter what anyone might say. He did not trust his fellow-members, and whenever it was necessary for him to be away rrom Annapolis he had a rule passed specifying what measures should be considered in his absence, although, of course, his name was never mentioned in the order. Eastern Shore Law Upset.

It was while he was Speaker of the House that the old Eastern Shore Senatorial law was thrown into the discard In order tbat George L. Wellington might go to the United States Senate. There had been a hot fight over the Senatorship that had lasted about three weeks. Mr. Welling ton was chairman of the State committee.

had managed the Lowndes campaign and had announced himself for the Senatorship, Eastern Shore law or no Eastern Shore law, Mudd was for him. The present Republican nominee for Governor, Phillips Lee Goldsborough, was also a candidate for the Senatorship was, In fact the leading; one, with the exception of Wellington and would have been named had it not been for the abrogation of the law. The fight was finally ended by Mudd leaving the Speaker's chair and taking the floor and making a red-hot' speech for Wellington, in which he declared the Eastern Shore law was unconstitutional. Wellington was then elected, and to prevent a possible contest the Eastern Shore law was afterward repealed. Elected To Congress In 1S9S.

Mr. Mudd was elected to Congress in 1898 and was re-elected to each succeeding Congress until last year. His health having broken down, he did not enter the race, and the nomination went to "Tom" Par-ran, who was elected. Mr. Mudd's campaigns through Southern Maryland were always spectacular, a feature being his band wagon, which went through the counties, giving concerts and furnishing the music for all of the Mudd meetings.

And Mr. Mudd was a good campaigner and a forceful speaker. He never minced words, said what he had in mind and always made his meetings lively. For a time he was almost the absolute dictator -of his party's affairs in the State, and through his alliance with Mr. William H.

Jackson deposed the present State chairman, Mr. John B. Hanna, in 1907 and elected "Tom" Parran in his place. This was a decided defeat for Mr. William F.

Stone, the present party leader. Mr. Mudd never did approve of Mr. Hanna as the State chairman. He thought Mr.

Hanna was too squeamish and not "practical" enough. After his health broke, however, he seemed to lose his Interest in the affairs of his party, and while he attended the meeting of the State committee which re-elected Mr. Hanna chairman, he took no part in it beyond casting the vote of Charles county for Mr. Parran. Mr.

Mudd's health broke down soon after he was elected to the Sixtieth Congress, following almost immediately the death of his wife, who was a Miss Griffin, of Prince George's county. He was never the same after her death and he went to pieces rapidly. For a time he was in a sanatorium, but insisted on leaving it, and attempted to resume his place in Congress, though he was never able to do much. He made heroic efforts to regain his physical vigor, but his constitution had been undermined and he was unable to recover lost ground. He went to a sanatorium near Philadelphia, where he remained until he died.

Saved Naval Academy For State. Undoubtedly the most important work for his State was the fighting through of the appropriation bills which resulted in the rebuilding of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The original bill looking to this end was offered in Congress by Mr. W. W.

Mclntire, who for one term represented the Fourth district, which is in Baltimore city. Mr. Mudd, however, took up' the work and pushed it through, and it was due almost entirely to him that the bills making the appropriations were passed. These saved the Academy to Maryland, it Is generally believed, for there was a faction in the Navy anxious to have the institution located at the social capital. Newport.

The New England Senators and Representatives were eager to take it there and were willing to put it anywhere along the coast if it could be taken from the South. For checkmating this move Mr. Mudd deserves the gratitude of the people of the State if for no other thing. Strong As Office Getter. Mr.

Mudd was one of the most active of the members of the House of Representatives during his service In Congress. His efforts to secure offices for his constituents made him a familiar figure at the White House and all the executive departments. There was a peculiarly heavy demand upon him because of the close proximity of his district to the national capital. To the host of negro voters in his district he was always known as "Marse Sydney." The family of Mr. Mudd is one of the oldest in Southern Maryland and among the most influential.

He was a nephew of the Dr. Mudd who gave surgical aid to John Wilkes Booth after the assassination of President Lincoln and who was confined in the prison at Dry Tortugas, one of the desolate Florida keys, for doing it. His father was Jeremiah T. Mudd, a Charles county farmer, Mr. Mudd being born on his father's farm near- Bryantcwn in 1858.

He was educated at Georgetown College and at St. John's College, Annapolis, and later took a special law course at the University of Virginia. He was admitted to the bar in 1880 CAPON SPRINGS HOTEL BURNED Firebugs Suspected As Cause Of 9100,000 Blaze. Winchester, Oct, 21.

Nelson, the proprietor, had come to Winchester last night on business and an hour after his arrival received a mes sage that the place was afire. He at once went to the scene In an automobile A colored servant discovered the fire in that portion of the building known as the auditorium, In which theatrical perform ances were held, and which is said to have been closed for six weeks.
