Garrett CountiAR FOR One of
the Vacancies.
To the Editor OF The Republican
Permit us space in your paper for a
communication from this end of the
| county and in doing so it may be the
means of getting up a little enthusi-
| asm among the Republicans of Gar
rett county.
Every voter in Garrett county is
aware of the loss to us by death of
two associate judges of this Judicial
Disadvantages d. w. Sloan and
Edward Stake. All realize the effect
of such loss to the whole circuit and
we bow our heads in token OF our es-
TEEN for such men and submit TO the
will of Him who knoweth all things
and doeth best His will be done. -"
Their places have been temporarily
filled until such time when the peu-
pie will be called upon to choose their
successors for a term of fifteen years.
which is right and just Now wha &
we want to do is TO have our say as a
county All who remember the con-
vention that nominated Judge Sloan
in Oakland know that Washington
county had no candidate and tie
chairman Of that delegation an
nounced in open convention they
+n - /,
the Garrett county delegation and on
that occasion the delegation was too
modest to present u name or other
wise it would have been different.
Now, then, it is up to us again. Will
they offer us such a chance? | say
in all sincerity let us ask them to do
so. Let us present one of Garret t
county's lawyars who is equally as
worthy as any other from Washing
ton or Allegany. We have two avail
able men in our party and they are
our worthy and well qualified States
Attorney Mr.. F. A. Thayer, and Mr..
E. II. Sincell. | am certain either
one will accept it if we give them the
nomination and feel confident that if
we take the matter in hands in time
andgo to work in earnest we can secure
one of these prizes for Garrett county.
In all sincerity and earnestness let us
demand our rights once; it is due us,
and when this matter is presented to
the convention | feel sure they can
not reasonably turn US down. They
can turn us down if they will but will
they? When those counties remem-
Der what Garrett has done for them
IN the past will they say no? Will it
be asking too much space for a brief
review of the many favors they have
received at the hands of Garrett
county? How often have we been
loyal to Washington fayorite son.
our able and distinguished Senator,
Hon. l.. E. McComas. Garrett county
gave him her support when all other
parts of the district were dark and
gloomy. We ask him for his support
in this matter. Now our mother
county. No child could be more true
and loyal to its mother than Garrett
has been to Allegany. We specially
pride our kindness to her faVorite
sons also. Then, too. we have made
her sons great and powerful and with
special pride we name two-Hon.
Lloyd Lowndes, as Governor, and our
bic Congressman, Hon. George A.
Pearre. These gentlemen we are
now as ready to help in the future as
in the past. They are worthy of the
distinguished positions had and have.
We say go on. Can they also say no
to us?
Now, Mr.. Editor, | will not say
more now but expect to keep on I'M
til the nominations are made and if
have any say so it will be as it always
has been-Garrett county first. Come
forward, boys, and haYe your say.
This is a free country and these things
re in our hands to do as we agree.
Let us hear from some other quar-
tiers.
We will take up our county ticket
in our next communication
A REPUBLICAN IN No. ,.
