Republican Harmony in
Prince Georges County.

| AA1 iat Wi
of Prince Georges county last
week was but little better than
a mob. SO disorderly were the
delegates the chairman left
the hall and the delegates
dispersed. Later the convention
re- assembled and elected dele
gates to the state convention.
but a local ticket was not NOM
mated. The trouble was most
ly the result of the interference
of the Hon. Sydney Mudd. of
charles county, mixing in af-
fairs in another county. Sgd.

Southern Maryland and has
about succeeded. In Il report
of Mondays convention. the
Baltimore SIN Correspondent
said
Some warm speeches We're
made during the turmoil in the
convention by negro delegates
UhO composed majority Of the con-
rention. One colored orator said
that the black men were more
numerous in Prince Georges
county conventions for27 years,
and it was time they took the
making of tickets away from
the whites.
Veteran politicians say that
they never saw in this county
such an uproar in convention;
that it resembled a bowling
mob without leadership or di-
rection.
SOME MORE HARMONY, IN ANNE
Arundel.
The Republicans of Anne
Arundel county nominated a
county ticket, or rather ratified
a ticket named by DR.. Tuck,
the Republican boss of the
county.
After the adjournment of the
convention Rev. S. Timothy
Tice. colored. pastor of Mt.
Moriah African NJ. +. Church,
who attended the meeting,
said:
There is a deep undercurrent
of discomfort among both white
and colored Republicans. Sew
eral have told me since the con-
vention they would not support
the ticket. DR.. Grant, a prom
inent member of the body,
explained the true situation.
Everybody believes that the
ticket was made at the instance
of DIR. Tuck. The Republicans
will not have an easy time in
this county. | know the most

said. and You will know, and
the State will see. Three thous-
and, five hundred negro voters
will not be ignored and dictated
to by an arbitrary boss. We
are going into the fight. The
leading negroes of the county
have made no ticket as yet, and
are not bound to support the
one made today.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.

A woman with the btnes is a very IN
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as

indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under

learned woman of great experience.
