pubcans yesterday at Cambridge ConserVa-
tive Democrats. as we'll as Republicans indorse
IL for the reason that the men nominated. unlike

the people and not of boss or machine. THE
Baltimore Sun" the leading Democratic paper OF
the State surprised its readers to-day with an
editorial speaking in the highest terms of the
Republican nominees and platform. 1t says that
the Republican Convention has nominated prob
ably the strongest ticket 1t could have put in the
field. Personally the nominees are above criu-
cism Mr.. Lowndes. the Democratic organ de-
clsres. is man Of fine business ability. thor
oughly conversant with the needs and resources
Of the State. The ticket was nominated by the
Republican voters of the State. and not by bosses
or ma chimes There refreshing contrast IN
all this. the editorial continues TO the spectacle
presented by the recent Democratic Convention
in this city. and the Republicans are to be con-
graduated. not only or the personnel OF their
ticket but on the fact that IT was not ulctdteu
by a political autocrat.
Even John F. Hurst the Democratic nominee
for Governor. eulogizes the Republican nominee
He sent this telegram to Mr.. Lowndes: My
concentrations. May the best principles and the
hest man win" Mr.. Hurst said to-day that he
had the highest regard for Mr.. Lowndes and con.
sidered him man Of character and abinty III
the people Of the State should decide that MI.
Lowndes was to be Governor he mad no doubt
that he would fiji the Office as acceptably as any
Republican who could be named He was gad
that Mr. Lowndes had been nominated. for with
him at the head of the Republican ticket the cam
pagn would be one OF principles. NOT men. GOV
ernor Brown also paid high compliment 10 the
fitness Of Mr.. LOwndcs saying that ne was d man
of high character and ability and would make

Democratic ringmasters. Joined in the general
Democratic tribute TO the Republican nominee Dy
saying that If Maryland should be compeleu 10
have a Republican Governor. Mr.. Lowndes was
the best man his party could name.
Roger w. Gull. a leader OF the lndependeht
Democrats expressed the opinion that Mr..
Lowndes would be elected. but admonished the
voters TO bear in mind that the makeup OF the
Legislature was as important as the Governor-
shin Eighteen Senators hold over. and. as the
Governor will appoint election officials, the ques-
ton of defeating German for re,elevties>.is ~ oi
paramount Importance. even In TINS campaign.
There Is not the siightest doubt" he said that
the ringsters appreciate the state OF things as
well any one else. and the only way they can
win Is nv fraud and the use of money. They
cannot declare against Civil Service Reform and
the other reforms recommended by the Repub-
lican platform. 1t is a fight for and against Cor
manjsm and the only tools in .he hands Of the
ringsters are fraud and corruption. The Repuo-
lcan ticket will virtually have the support or the
leading Democratic newspapers In the state

League who is Democrat. said that ne would
vote the Republican ticket because the PLATFORM
of that party promises to rid Marylands election
