O. P. CONVENTION (Continued From Page Four) control in this Rtat ' it has consist ency violated the snirit. of the merit system and ltafailed to en act laws for its establishment. In their platform recently adopted the party indorsed the national Admin istration, whose abuse of the merit system is shown by the statement, of the Ron. Charles M. Galloway, Democratic member of the Federal Civil Service Commission, who, in retiring fiotn office on September 0. 810, said: “Mv resignation was forced be cause I would not co-operate with Postmaster-General Burleson in de bauching the civil service and mak ing sham of the merit system. ’ ! We pledge our. party to the es tablishmnrient in the State of a civil service system based on merit alone, such as was first enacted by a Republican Congress, inaugurated bv a Republican President and ad ministered by Theodore Roosevelt as Civil Service Commissioner. Economies. We recognize that the country is about to enter upon an era of un precedented business competition and we desire for our State an ad ministration which will place Mary land in the most favorable position in the great industrial race. To this and modifications in our laws, in accordance with changed conditions and economic demands, must Tie promptly made, in order to meet the requirements of the times and the exigencies of the future. Among the economies to which we pledge ourselves are: (a) The adoption of the most modern collecting and disbursing methods as applied to all depart ments. (1>) A consolidation of the re lated agencies and offices of the i State and the abolition of useless offices and commissions. (e) The merging of the office of Motor Vehicle Commissioner with the State Roads Commission. (d) The consolidation of the Au ditor's office' with the office of the State Comptrolcr. In this connection we call to the i public’s attention the fnjt that in 1015 the Democratic party solemn ly promised to enact into law the l recommendations of the Goo’dnow commission, and that this commis j sion in 101(5 Tcer.mmended the adoption of the latter two reforms, but the Democratic Legislature, urged by the same influences now in control of its affairs, refused to approve the recommendations. Federal Amendments. The adoption of an amendment to the Constitution of tho United States is a solemn act, vitally af fecting the rights and lilerties of the people of the We there fore pledge our party to the prin ciples that all amendments to the Federal Constitution should be sub mitted by referendum to the peo ple of the State before any action thereon by the General Assembly. Public Schools. The public sc ho Is of Maryland -arc not of that standard which their importance. to the people of our State demands. It is impera tive that Maryland should have the best sehools its revenues can afford. We favor the removal of the eduea tional system of the State from the baneful influence of polities, whose blighting grip, under the present Democratic administration, has so seriously marred its effictc.iry. We pledge our party to the payment of increased salaries to teaehers, so that the people of otrr State may be assured of tbc highest standard of efficiency in the teaching force. Proper housing, hygienic, conditions and all essential educational facili ties must be supplied. We favor the increase of appropriations for the normal schools, in order that de serving and capable students mav have the opportunity of becoming trained teachers without unneces % sary expense to themselves. Good Roads. We stand for the maintenance of the splendid Maryland road system, built largely under Republican su pervision, and for its extension, so far as the public revenue permit. We further favolsucJi lateral roads as are necessary to the completion of the system and the convenience of the public, to lie paid for by a just distribution of the costs be tween counties and State. Agriculture. Maryland’s chief industry is agriculture. The prosperity of the farmer means prosperity for the people who dwell in the towns and cities. It is, therefore, a wise poli cy to foster the basic industry of the State and to develop our agri cultural resources so that the heavy burdens caused by the war may be offset by increased efficiency in pro duction. The surest way to reduce the rate of taxation is by Increas ing the production of our soils and adding to the income from our farms. We believe that the interest of our people producer and consu mer alike demands liberal sup port of all efforts looking to the im provement of agriculture and the advancement of rural life. We, therefore, stand for the fur ther development of our agricul tural resources through adequate support by the State of the StaYe agricultural agencies. We also fa vor the provision of adequate means for carrying on educational and experimental work so as to en able our farmers to utilize to the fullest extent our natural resources. Oysters. We pledge our party to protect for the use of the public the na tural oyster beds and bars of the waters of the State, in order that the oystermcn may hare the right, in the lawful pursuit of their call ing, to earn their living without fear of molestation. We condemn the administration of the Conserva tion Commission as incompetent, partial and needlessly burdensome. Election Reforms. We believe in removing barriers against acquiring and maintaining j citizenship in Maryland, and there fore favor the repeal of the Dec laration of Intention act, requir ing citizens of other States to de clare their intention to become citizens of Maryland, and of the Affidavit of Removal act, forcing citizens, intending or compelled temporarily to leave the State, to make oath of intent to return. Police. We pledge our party to the en actment of laws guaranteeing to Baltimore city the fullest possible measure of self-government iu local affairs and .therefore favor legisla tion which will secure to Baltimore city the complete control of its Po lice Department, a privilege ac corded to every county in the State. We recognize that the members of the Police Department are under paid, and promise the prompt en actment of legislation providing for an adequate increase in their com- . pensation. Tobacco Warehouses. We pledge our party to keep the State tobacco warehouses clear at all times for the receiving of to bacco from the tobacco growers of Southern Maryland, to prevent the recurrence of a tobacco embargo such as the tobacco growers have recently suffered. labor. We pledge the Republican party to a more efficient enforcement of all laws passed for the protection of labor; to safeguard the indus trial and human resources of the State by remedial legislation in be half of our men and women, to the end that we may obtain the fullest efficiency and protection consistent with their welfare, safe- I ty and health. Believing that sanitation, health ful surroundings are essential to the welfare of labor, and that the fullest production cannot be obtain ed in unsanitary, imhealthful and dangerous surroundings,’ we pledge our party to the enactment of such additional legislation as is needed to provide for the safeguarding of life, health and limb in shop, fac tory and mine, we pledge ourselves to such amendments of the compeu- \ sat ion law as will provide proper protection to those injured iu the course of their employment. Republican Candidates. We submit our candidates for Governor. Comptroller, Attorney- General and Clerk of the Court of Appeals as the best evidence of our sincere and intelligent purpose to handle the State's affairs iu the most active and businesslike man ner. In llarrv W. Nice, Amos W. W. Woodcock. Alexander Armstrong and William L.

HARRINGTON PLANS MOVE TO AID IN SERBIA Governor Harrington lias given his approval of the work cf ta > Serbian Relief Committee of America, 70 Fifth avenue. New York city. Dr. WiWiam J. Sohieffelin, chairman, and particularly to the Serbian program material which the committee is furnishing to the pub lic schools in behalf of the Serbian war orphans, and which is being used by the children all over.the country in making up school programs. Governor Harrington writes as fol lows: “The people of our State will not fail to respond to the appeal in behalf of the 500,000 fatherless children of Serbia. Serbia stood with the Allies in behalf of the great war for human liberty, her fidelity never being ques tioned. “Prosperous as we are. and ever grateful for the blessings which we and our children enjoy, we should not permit the children of Serbia to starve or permit them to remain unaided dur ing the present year or during the time of their great distress, and during the time which they will require to recover from the consequences of so terrible a war. “I 1 espeak for our people their full est sympathy and their substantial ; support." There are 500,000 fatherless children to he cared for in the new’ Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, who are all one people in race, language and traditions. There is urgent need } of this care everywhere in the little j kingdom, but particularly in Serbia, where this American committee has established headquarters. Every square inch of Serbia w’as overrun and ravaged by merciless enemies and all of it, with the exception of one very j small strip in the southern part, lay. subject to their brutal will during j three years. Col. Homer Folke, after an exhaus tive examination of conditions made by Mm for the American Red Cross, reported that Serbia's man-power was i so depleted that even if the equipment and material were furnished her she' could not operate her industries, and he added, “she is in want of practical- j ly everything necessary to preserve I and maintain human and animal life." j Serbia and her people have suffered such wreck and ruin as no other and the people have ever before suffered, and in the disorganized condition which for a long time must continue, it is impossible for her unaided to care for her multitude of destitute war orphans; the coming generation upon which, in the depleted state of! its manhood, the very continuance of a gallant race depends.
