Want Him for Congress.

The democrats of the sixth con-
gresional district are looking around
for the most popular and formidable
candidate they can find to oppose
Mr. McComas, the Republican
nominee in that district. After
looking over the field and naming
number of the prominent men OF
the district, the Hsgerstown Netcs,
suggests the name of Spencer @.
Jones, Clerk OF the Court of APP
peals. In selecting Mr.. Jones as
the most available man for the
position, the Netcs says:
1T is true Mr.. Jones holds a good
Office and has honoIed himself and the
people of his state by the efficient and
acceptable manner in which he has dis
charged its duties, but we think Mr..
Jones should be willing to come up
higher when the people call. We are
quite sure he would be acceptable to the
Democracy of the district and If nom
mated would make a strong candidate.
He Is a man whose ability and integrity
OF character is fully recognized and in
him as a candidate Mr.. McComas would
find candidate worthy of his steel"
While the sixth district many
want him for Congressional honors,
the people Of the State are looking
forward to his services in more
honored and exalted position-that
Of Governor of his State. Spencer
G. Jones, would do credit and
