The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1903-06-19

which will give enter
tainment during almost each entire
day. The interest in the races indi-
Gates that they will probably be
better than ever before, but all OF
this will not make successful fair.
1t requires the cooperation of the
home people in the way of making
exhibits. The ladies department last
year was we'll filled audit seems that
ifthose of the sterner sex would only
take an equal interest the success OF
the exhibition would be without
question. Agriculture, at the time
the fair will be held gives an oppor-
tunity for a great number of exhibits.
The premium catalogue, which will
soon be issued, offers very liberal
premiums in each department, and
the assurance of the directors that
all premiums will be paid within
three days after the close of the fair,
should stimulate interest. The live
stock department should not be for
gotten as there are many excellent
animals in the county. This serves
a two-fold purpose because there is
no better way to advertise choice
stock than to have it on exhibition
where it can be seen by everyone.
Taking all in all county fairs are of a
decided benefit to local communities,
and Hartford county can we'll afford to
be in the lead, as it is in many other
matters ofadvancement. Individual
work is what counts and we hope to
see the desired interest shown.
MIR. JONES WILL BE A CANDIDATE.
State Senator Spencer c. Jones, OF
Montgomery county, has created
some little ripple in Democratic poll
tics by making the formal announce
ment that he will be candidate for
the Democratic nomination of Gov
ernor. Heretofore there has been no
avowed opposition to Mr.. Edwin
War6eld, who had sometime ago
given out the statement that lie
would be candidate.
1t is not within our province to say
which will prove the stronger candi-
date, as we feel sure that when the
proper time comes, the State Con.
vention will truly represent the senti-
ment of a large majority of Demo-
cratic voters, and that the dclega-
tions, to be chosen, will be perfectly
capable of selecting the proper man
for this high honor. is our only
hope that no discord will arise in the
conduct of the primary elections.
The Democratic party is in such a
position that it cannot afford to be
split up into factions. Itwillrequire
every Democratic vote that we can
command in order to make the vic
tory certain and sure. Therefore, let
harmony prevail and personal bias
be forgotten. What we want is a
man at the head of the ticket who
will inspire confidence in the voters
throughout the State. The mere
matter of an individual should be
sunk into significance when compared
with the success of the party. The
selection of a Republican Governor
means return to conditions similar
to those of the reign of Ex-Governor
Lowndes. Can the people of Mary
land afford to allow the minority to
again take the reins of power simply
on account of some personal feeling
We must nominate our best and
strongest man and there can be no
question about our success.
Another disaster from floods has
visited this country. This timeit oc-
CURED at Oregon and it is believed
that over 400 lives were lost. The
number of serious catastrophes Of
this nature here of late have been al.
most unprecedented. The loss of life
in each case has gone upinto the hum
dreds and it seems that one part Of
United States is in as much danger as
another.
