1t is stated on good authority that the II. e.

Politics and politicians are the leading top
les of the day. We are pleased to hear that
the Congressional Convention is to be held n
Oakland, and feel assured that Garrett will
be represented by q full delegation. Every
body is full of McComas downths way. You
run across Democrats occasionally who are
honest in their convictions and say their
nomination is only a matter of form and the
election simply to keep up party organiza-
ton, as they are willing toacknowledge they
haven't ghost OF chance with McComas
in the field. This comes with good grace just
at this time when the Baltimore Sun has
hunted every hole and corner in the Sixth
District to find some Republican to antago-
nize McComas in hi denomination. Ever
since that memorable day in November,
when thepeople of the Sixth District changed
Baughmans name from Victor to VAN
pushed, the SUuS wrath has never been ap-
peaSed. 1t was said the Sta, put some 'boo.
die" in that campaign, to pay for the roman
candle-sky rocket jubilee.singing parade
through the Sixth District, expecting a col.
lateral in the shape of a relative in Congress.
We would suggest that the Sun try its hand
at hunting Il candidate in It's own party,
strong enough, at least, to show a popular
nsli nrifN in his to ri LOT M
