SIR-Your note is
printed ADJACENT to
these words of cheer.
which will show how
it was that we spoke
of your ice cream
scuf1e in a free and
untrammeled style.

wrote it, but before 60

from the effects of
your condensed milk
and cornstarch. to-
gether with the lining
of the freezer which
lie had scraped of in
order to allay the
pangs of hunger, that
he added a few lines
regarding your style Of
three sheet generosity.
We well recall the
day we first met you
here in this office. and
when you became a
member of our staff.
You said then that you
shrauk from publicity.
You have been in the
shrinking business
ever since.
You had been pointed
out to Us by our fore
man. and we still re-
call your appearance
rs You sat there in our
revolving chair with
the glad sunlight SHIN
mering through your
asparagus whiskers.
You even then wore
that same cid bunch
grass beard instead Of
a necktie. and the hor-
nets built their nests
in it every spring. 1t
used TO delight our
then devil to come
upon you suddenly and
scare a rabbit out OF
your whiskers, Corun-
DUN.
Nou also wore a little
peachstoue charm in
the form of "a basket
on your watch chain.
The chain was made
by one of your deserted
wives, 1t was made of
hoTsehair, and was as
pliabls as an iron
bridge.
After that we met
you on the street dur
ing a thunder shower,
You explained to us
your idea of Divine
wrath w lille you
hooked us with your
, forefinger in our but
tonhole and held an
umbrella over yourself
with the other SO that
one of the points took
US just below the
bosom. We can still
remember what a cold
rain it was, and how
chilly it felt on our
stomach.
We remember that
your first idea regard
ing business was to
print in our paper a
, short advertisement
regarding a remedy
which could be used at
home, and which you
said would catch a
good many suckers,
, especially young folks
and country people,
Do you remember
: that?
Do you remember
how we had a concert
for the fresh air

Meeting of the Central Committee.

Chairman Compton has issued call for
meeting of the Democratic State Central
Committee at the Carrollton Hotel, Baltimore,
on Thursday, June 1lth, to arrange place and
date for holding the State Convention to
nominate candidates for Governor, Comp
troller, Attorney General and Clerk of the
Court of Appeals.
Chairman Compton, in an interview, said
he thought a six weeks vigorous campaign
was long enough, and that he would not open
headquarters until September, week or two
before the 18th, when the campaign would be
formally inaugurated.
This will be ample time, provided vigor-
GUS campaign is waged. 1t ought to be hot
from start to finish, and candidates and speak
ers ought to appear wherever announced.
The candidates ought to visit every one of the
twenty three counties. The people will want
to see them, and if announced to appear and
don't, disappointment will follow.
The nominating convention, as heretofore
argued, ought to be held not later than Au-
gust 10Th. Let the ticket be placed in the
field, and the press will be able to famliarize
the people with the record and merits of each
candidate before the speaking campaign
begins. The public mind will not be excited
as it will be later, and facts and reason, from
the press, will find Judgement. The press is
the mainstay of the party, and it should have
ample time to discuss all matters pertaining
to the campaign.
