ANNE ARuNDEL,s CLAIM.

ANNE Arundel has not relinquished
her claim TO the Speakership OF the next
House. and does not intend TO. She has
greater claim upon the party than any
other county, and can dictate her terms.
Anne Arundel gave to the Senate two
years ago the controlling vote, and it
was Anne Arundel that held the balance
OF power in the extra session of the Leg
islaiure that gave to the Democratic
party the present election law, whereby
the State was carried for the Democrats
and the election OF United States Sem
ator insured. She holds the same power
in the present legislature, both in the
House and Senate and without the united
vote OF Anne Arundels delegation it
could block much important legislation
for,lack Of constitutional mai ,rity And
for the first time, she now asks of the
party, to whose rescue she has so often
came and saved from defeat, to hestow
upon one of her honored sons. the Hon.
JAMES X. BRAsHgARs. the Speakership
OF the next House. Mr.. Brashears is
filling his fourth term in the House. and
he is familiar with every detail of its
workings. and would make an impartial
and acceptable presiding officer.
