Illness Of Mr. j. Q. Bannon

Mr.. John G. Bannon, late clerk of the
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel coun-
ty, is extremely i'll at his clearinghouse
on West street. He has been confined
to his room for week or more and his
friends are alarmed about his condition.
Mr.. Bannon s health has been failing for
several years past, frequent hemorrhages
having weakened his condition. There
was no improvement in ms condition to-
day.
Mi. Bannon is a son OF the late Michael
Bannon, for many years prominent IN
Anne Arundel politics. For years the
Bannon and Wells factions have figured
largely in the politics of the county in
opposition to each other, but last year
these rival organizations ''got together"
and the democratic voters were asked To
support the combination. But the
result showed that this request was dis
regarded by many democrats, Mr.. Ban
non being defeated by J. Writ Randall
for State Senator by majority of 2O7
votes.
Before entering upon his dutiesa as clerk
of the Circuit Court, to which he was
appointed by Judge Reyell, Mr.. Bannon
had been school examiner and secretary
and treasurer of the school board.
