Popular Man Herein Named for tho
House of REPRESENTATIVES,

The Baltimore NeWs observes that
So far, Colonel Pearre has the whole field
for the running IN the Sixth district with no
democratic opponent in sight.
Under the circumstances stated and
some conditions not mentioned, can the
democratic party do better than nomi-
nate John b. Shannon, of Frostburg, to
measure lances with the gallant colonel =?
Shannon is man of the people, and Il
worker who could and would represent
the district with force and effect.
His election last year to the office of
Register of Wills attcsts popularity
which exceeds that enjoyed by any other
democrat i'll the county, and some sub
sequcnt occurrences have tended to more
than confirm his grip upon the peoples
favor. From the democratic standpoint
it is believed by many that he can again
carry his own county; that the prestige
won i'll carrying it last year, and the
promise of similar result this year will
combine to help him very largely III the
other counties.
Then there is feeling extant i'll the
party that, on account of militarism,
imperialism and trustism, great,
sweeping tidal wave is impending,
Whose immediate political future,
then, is more promising of success as IA
rider upon the crest of that wave than
that of John B. Shannon:
