BI.OcISa
Oppose County Omcera, Rnl

The bill introduced in the senate at the
request of the County oAicers' asspciation
is hung up in the committee, and when a
comes forth there will likely be absent
from It "that we recommend that Il be
passed." though the bill will be reported
favorably. 1t is not the fact that the com
mittee does not favor a four-year tenure
of ONCE. for a masority OF the committee
does. But the committee does not intend
to recommend that a county odieer hold
ONCE for a time longer than the time for
which he was elected. Another objection
is that the committee does not favor having
every county election held on presidential
year or even year, as provided by the bill
Said one OF the committee:
1--WE are in favor Of county officers hold
ing once for four years. but for one do
not want 10 tell a community that the man
that 1t has chosen for two years should
'serVe three. 1t is the right OF the people
to do that and not the legislature. in my
opinion. And IL we make county elections
come on even years or on presidential
years II will not, in my opinion. serve the
best interests Of the people. In presIden-
tisl years. as a rule, county and local af-
fairs are lost sight Of almost completely.
and persons who are entirely united for
ONCE could very easily be run in and
elected"
Another reason for the objection OF the
committee to the bill as Il now stands is
that It will injure the party now IN power
should II become a law. II have received
many protests from over the state" said
this committeeman. against having pres-
ent county officials holding once for a
longer term than that for which they have
been elected, and believe the people want
IT, and yet there is very little objection
TO the four-year term. l myself am heart
lily in favor OF that and believe II will re-
suit in better conduct OF eountS AFFAIRS.
for as IL is now when a man is elected
his first term Is spent. usually. In getting
a second. I believe that all county ofaeers
should serve four years and the treasurers
four years and out"

Important Law Suits.

Three suits have been instituted in the Su-
perior Court of Baltimore against stockholders
of the City Trust and Banking Company by
Joseph NJ. Blackeby to make them liable for
500, which he had deposit with the Company
when it went into the hands Of receivers last
June.
The suits we're brought under law passed
in 1892, intending to make stockholders of
trust companies liable to their depositOrs and
creditors for double the amount Of the par
value of their stock in them. The provision
is similar to the United States national bank
ing act, making stockholders in national banks
liable to depositors and creditors for double
the amount of their stock. The result of the
suits will be awaited with interest. as a large
amount of money is involved in the result
of the suits Trust and banking compan
les have multiplied rapidly in Maryland
in the past eight or ten years, with capital
stock mounting to hundreds of thousands of
dollars and even to millions and some have
secured heavy deposits.

To Oppose Judge Mcsherry.

The Republican Convention of the sixth
judicial circuit, composed of Frederick and
Montgomery counties, met at Point of Rocks
on Thursday and nominated William Il. Kinks
for chief Judge of the circuit in opposition to
Chief Judge James McSherry.
Judge McSherry is Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals, and is regarded throughout the
State as an able jurist, man of high charac-
ter, and unbiased. The hope has been eX-
pressed by the Maryland Bar Association
members with great unanimity that Judge
McSherry would be reelected and again be
designated as Chief Judge of the Court OF
Appeals, but the Republicans are striving for
every position now. 1t is their right and
privilege to set up candidate against Judge
McSherry, but we de not want to hear any
thing again from that party abouta non-parti-
san Judiciary. 1t would be rank hypocrisy.

There will be but two sittings of the
Registrars of Voters this year for the reg
istration Of voters and the issuance Of
transfers These will be on Tuesday
September 90, and Tuesday, October G.
The sitting on OctoLer Is 'rW BE- far re-
gision only.
The matter of REGISTRATION is one of great
importance. 1t is the first step toward
polling a full vote ON November 3. Per
sons who registered in 1896, or since, are
not required to register again, unless they
have changed their voting residence since
last year.
The members of the Democratic County
Central Committee should be vigilaut in
hunting up the young Democrats and all
other Democrats entitled TO be registered.
Young men who viii be twenty -one by
November 3 will be entitled TO register
ON either September % or October 8.
Unregistered Democrats should 20 to
the registration offices aud have their
names placed on the registers on the day
of the first sitting. If they delay the
matter until the second sitting. on that day
necessary absence from home, sickness or
death of relative may prevent them from
attending to this important duty and they
could not vote in November
If you have been registered aud have
changed your residence since last year, you
should obtain transfer on the frst day.
To get transfer you will have to apply
for it in person to the registrar where you
last voted and take il to the registrar Of
voters in the district or precinct in which
you are entitled to be registered aud have
your name placed on the books.
The books should be purged Of all Re
publicans who have moved away or died
since last year. This matter should be
diligently inquired into. The Repubh
cans, through the rural free delivery car
riers, can gain perfect knowledge as to the
death or change of residence of Democrats,
for they have to report to the postmasters
all persons who have died, moved off their
routes or located upon them. While they
must report such facts the information can
be utilized to party advantage.
