THE SENATORSHIP.

party managers (or rather
politicians of all factions) are
already looking around for
men to represent this county
in the next legislature. Oh
this we have nothing to say.
but there is one thing of which
we would remind. them. and
that is the necessity of send
ing coed men. men of more
than ordinary intelligence,
honesty and ability, to look
after the interests Of Hon. +.
X. Wilson, whom the MAORI
ty of the people Of this State
desire to see succeed himself
as United States Senator
Therefore it is important that
Worcester county, being his
native county. should send men
that can talk and work and
are too honest to be bought.
1t looks pretty hard to accuse
men of selling out their friends
but it is done nevertheless. 1t
requires. ordinarily, many
thousands Of dollars to defeat
a man like Senator Wilson for
denomination. but the thou
sands will be forthcoming if
necessary from the spoilsmen
and enemies OF pure states

they will place the tempting
cup to the lips of every legis-
lator whose character is not
such as to repel them. So be
careful, not only in Worcester
but all over the Shore to Sc
lect men of honor and intcgri-
~. We have ircquc ntly been
asked If Senator Wilson was
Il candidate for denomination.
we now say To all. that he is.
and although loath to 60 into
the fight himself, his many
friends on the Shore have in
sisted upon it. until he has &C
cccded to their wishes. Sen
ator Wilson has made a splcn-
did record in the Senate and
has again and again reflected
credit upon the people who
sent him there. He is more
of statesman than a politi-
clan and such man is the one
that should be continued in
such a high office as he has SO
honorably and crcditably fill

the approval Of the best think
ing citizens of the State. who
desire to see Maryland's

Such a man is Ephraim X.
