Frank Brown received the unusual honor of
naming the delegates to the State Convention from
Carroll county, That county is his home and
where he is known best; were he trickster or in
any way unworthy. this would be very injudicious
thing TO do. 1t is no longer a question who the
people in the State want we await with interest
the answer to the query: do the political strong
men care to respect the wishes of the people,
From the Centreville Observer

ences as to the gubernatorial nomination. There
were eleven gentlemen presentand the vote resulted
asfollows: Brown S, Jones l. Hodges l, blank ].
From the Chestertown Transcript
However much the friends of ex-Mayor Hodges
may desire to make it appear that Kent county is
disposed to fall in line with the counties of the
STATE favorng the nomination of Mr. Hodges for
the Goyernorship, the fact remains. if appearances
are true. and we believe they are, that the people
are strongly in favor of an unqualified endorsement
of Mr. Brown. No man in the canvass has to the
same extent the unquestioned sympathy and sup
port of the great masses of the voters of nearly every
section A man whose interests are largely centered
in agriculture he is cognizant in most practical
way of the needs of the great majority of the cti-
zens of the State and this fact can but recommend
him to their consideration and respect man
whose unselish public spirit and enterprise has
manifested itself throughout his public life, all
must respect and aecedit honor due,
From the Hagerstown News
Only little more than three weeks remain until
the day fixed for the meeting of the Democratic
State Convention. What the action of the eonven-
ton will be can not probably be now positively
stated but if indications are worth anything, they
point clearly and Enthusiastically to the nomination
of Frank Brown, of Carroll county.
