| when the committee made its report,
which was in the form of the following
preamble and resolutions, all of which

No names were discussed by the COM
mitteemen on the Eastern Shore for a
candidate for Congress in the First dis
trict, but they were very determined to
have at least one delegate at large to the
national convention. The Second dis
trict men said they would be able to get
good man for Congress, and would like
to have delegate-at-la large to the national
convention. DR.. Washington G. Tuck,
of Anne Arundel county, and Adrain
Posey, of Charles county, said they would
like to go as district delegates to the
national convention, and probably St.
Mary's county would like to present
either D. G. Hammett, the states attor-
ney of that county, or Frank N. Holmes
for Congress. Mr.. G. W. Adams, of
Washington county, said that Congress
man McComas would be candidate for
denomination, and not for delegate at
large to the national convention.
