JAMES w. FOSTER.

JAMES w. FOSTER.
Mr.. James w. Foster, who made
such close run with Mr.. Carroll,
necessitating a recount, is the sue
cessor of the late Arthur Vosbury in
the lumber business in Havre d.
Grace. Mr.. Foster has always beer
an active party man but never held
public office until two years ogo when
he was elected to the Legislature. H
was a member of one of the most i'm
portant committees ofthe House and
his reelection this fall is but a fitting
endorsement of a conscientious and
painstaking official.
JUDGE HUGH T. BAY.
The nomination of Judge Bay after
such close and exciting contest, is
a worthy tribute to any man, as the
high standing of his principal OPP
ponent testi6es. He has seen much
of public life, having been first elected
Judge of the Orphans Court in 1887.
He was twice honored by the party
with reelection nearly always lead
ing the polls. Two years ago he de-
clined to be a candidate for the fourth
term. His experience on the bench
eminently qualities him for the i'm
portant duties ofthe Office of Register
of Wills. This public official has
charge of the funds of those who are
sometimes not able to look after
themselves and the nominee will
protect the interests of the widow
and the orphan. The Democratic
party can we'll feel proud of the big
majority that Judge Bay will receive
at the November election.
FREDERICK w. REAsIN.
No newspaper article can attempt
to utter words of praise in more GER
tain tones than did Mr.. Reasin' S own
people in Havre de Grace at the
primaries last Saturday. Out of a
vote of 444 he received 400 in his
own city, and wherever he was known
the election returns show how he is
regarded by his acquaintance. Mr..
Reasin has never before held a public
Office. His father, the late Samuel H.
Reasin, was the only County Com
missioner that Havre de Grace has
ever had. A coincidence about this
is that he defeated his brother, the
late Frank Reasin, who was candi-
date on the opposite ticket. Our
nominee for Sheriff is the right man
for the place. He will not only be
elected himself, but bring strength to
the whole ticket.
JOHN FINNEY WELLS.
Two years ago our present nominee
for County Treasurer won the nomi-
nation after a spirited contest. By
the combination of circumstances
and many other things he was
defeated by a close margin. This
was only rendered possible by
the aid of Democratic votes. While
most persons would have felt quite
bitter against those of his own faith
who had deliberately turned over
such an important office to the Re-
publican party, Mr.. Wells acted in
such a manner that those who then
opposed him were this time his warm
est friends. His large vote in every
precinct of the county shows that it
was the deliberate Judgment of the
party that he was not treated fairly
two years ago; and the effort to make
amends for past wrong doings. Both
his opponents this time are excellent
men and the par y would have been
safe had any one of them been nomi-
mated. All Democrats, regardless of
past utilization, will feel that it is
their bounden duty to see not only
that Mr.. Wells receives every Demo-
cratic vote, but a complimentary
recognition from those of the oppo-
site political faith.
GEORGE ARCHER.
Mr.. Archer comes from good old
Democratic stock. His father, the
late John Archer, was one of the most
prominent Democrats in the county.
The present nominee was a candidate
in the primaries two years ago for
the present Office and when he saw
that it was the will of his party that
another should receive the coveted
place he entered into the campaign
with zeal and earnestness, thus con-
tributing much to the election of the
present incumbent. His hattering
