John IL GROSS.

The nominee for County Treasurer, is well
known citizen and highly respected farmer of
the 18th district his beautiful farm, known as
''Chestnut Grove" being located about half a
mile from Golden Ring, on the Philadelphia
road. He was born in Hartford county in 1850
and is the eldest son of the late George Gross.
His father was native of France and he came to
this country with his family when a small boy
and located in Hartford. His business was that
of farmer and he also labored as local preach
er of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The last
few years OF his life were passed in Baltimore
county and he died in 1878. In politics he was a
Union man and afterwards Republican.
The public schools of Hartford county afforded
the subject of this sketch his educational privi-
leges and under the parental roof he remained
until he reached the age of is years. He then
came to Baltimore county and soon thereafter
bought the farm where he is now living and
which he has conducted with marked success.
1t contains nearly 200 acres and is finely i'm
proved, being one of the best farms in that sec
ton of the county.
In 1881 Mr.. Gross married Miss Carrie NJ. Kroe-
Der, of Baltimore, and they have five living chill
dren.
Mr.. Gross, who is in all respects an excellent
citizen and careful business man, was one of the
originators of Locust Grove Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, and is still member of it. No man
in his community is respected more than Mr..
Gross, and the citizens of the county will make
no mistake in electing him to the office he seeks.
He has always been a Republican of moderate
views and is esteemed for his personal worth by
men of all parties. He has never held an cleo
tive office.
An idea has gotten abroad that Mr.. John II.
Gross and Mr.. Frederick Gross, whose name ap-
pears on the same ticket with his as one of the
nominees for Judge of the Orphans Court, are
brothers. This is mistake. They may be dis
family related as cousins, but even this is said to
be doubtful

ject Mr.. Ingram is in favor of good roads every
where, because he realizes that they enhance the
value of property and are in accordance with the
present advanced methods
One of his pet ideas is a new primary election
law for Baltimore county, based on some of the
provisions of the law in Baltimore city, and he
promises to push this through if he is elected to
the Legislature. He also favors the modifca-
ton of the general election laws so that taxpay-
ers will not be disfraDchised because of tricks of
the ballots.
The corrupt practices act also is advocated by
Mr.. Ingram. believing as he does that the con-
domination laws of Baltimore county should be
amended so that all cases should be heard as are
common law cases, jurors being drawn and the
hearings conducted under the supervision of
judge in regular court.
Regarding the administering of the county
should be so conducted that all citizens can feel
they are getting fair and just return for the
amount of taxes they pay. He is opposed to the
over taxation of property for the purpose of
creating surplus in the county treasury.
He favOrs also more efficient police and fire
department service and the encouragement and
support of volunteer fire companies in addition
to the paid department, holding further that
part of the volunteer equipment be furnished
by the county.
Mr.. Ingram takes a firm stand against the
lobby practices and measures in vogue at Annap-
oils, holding that all just measures should be
enacted into laws and that all corrupt ones
should be defeated.
Mr.. Ingram was nominated by reclamation at
the convention held at Towson August 18th, for
the Office for which he is making an active and
telling contest

The Republican nominee for the State Senate
in Baltimore county, is son of Mr.. James E.
Ingram, widely known Baltimore merchant
and head of the Baltimore city Church Exten-
sion Society of the Baltimore Annual Confer
ence of the NJ. E. Church. He is practicing
attorney of ability and the junior member of the
law firm of Graham s. Ingram, with Offices in the
Maryland Telephone Building. Mr.. Ingram was
born in Baltimore city thirty years ago, but has
been resident of the Sd district of Baltimore
county nearly all his life, owning and occupying
with his family a beautiful home on Park
Heights avenue, near Pikesville. He is mem
Der of Sharon Masonic Lodge, No. 1852; of Airing
ton Council, Jr. Order United American Mechan-
les, and of Pikesville Lodge of Odd Fellows.
Mr.. Ingram was graduated from the Johns
Hopkins University in 1894 and from the Mary
land University Law School, where he took high
honors, in 1896. Immediately after leaving the
University of Maryland he took deep interest
in politics, ranging himself with that element of
the Republican party which has at heart the in
terests of the people in all matters regarding
legislation.
In 1899 Mr.. Ingram was candidate for the
House of Delegates, but owing to the disorgan-
lied condition of the party at that time the
tire Republican ticket was defeated. Mr.. Ingram
has been member of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee for two years.

j. MITCHELL HALE.

This is Mr.. Hale's first appearance in public as
a candidate for Office. He is a son of the late
Thomas Hale, man well and favorably known
in Baltimore county in his day, and was born in
the 9Th district, where he has spent his entire
life. He is a successful farmer and man of
affairs generally and is looked upon in the COM
munity as one of its foremost and most enter
prising citizens. In social and church affairs he
is a leader and a of intelligence and high
character. Should the people of Baltimore
county elect Mr.. Hale sheriff they will never
have cause to regret it, he will carry into that
office that clean handedness and uprightness of
character for which he is so well known in the
private walks of life. Mr.. Hale has family.
1t will be noticed that he spells his name differ
emily from most persons of that name in Balti-
more county, the usual way being Halle. Mr..
Hale has always been steadfast in his fealty to
the Republican party, but at the same time he
is moderate in his views and finds no fault with
a man because he honestly differs with him in
politics,

HITS THE SUPERVISORS HARD.

The late Baltimore city grand jury, in its re-
port to the court, covers many points of inter-
est to the public and reads the riot act to the
Supervisors of Elections in way that must
have made the blood of those officials Jingle.
The report says 1.-THE clerks in the Supervi-
sors of Elections Office in our judgment, did
not know what their respective duties were.
A careless state of affairs seemed to have per-
meated the entire Office" Continuing the re-
port says:
1.-THE law says the Board of Supervisors of
Elections upon receiving a ballotbox and a
key.thereof shall note the condition OF the seal
or stamp on each box, and make an entry of
the facts touching the same in book to be
kept by them, together with the name OF the
officer who delivered the box
1T was found that the chief clerk Of the
Election Supervisors and his assistants gave
receipt without examining the contents or the
condition of the boxes in any case, and under
the circumstances it would have been possible
for them to have received box of bricks or
sawdust instead Of ballots if the judges had
seen fit to give to an officer to turn in. On
further examination we found that by their
neglect Of duty they failed to discover that 10
boxes had not been sealed properly.
1.-The law provides as follows: Said strip Of
paper shall then be pasted over the keyhole of
said ballot-box and over the slit in the lid in
such manner that the signatures shall extend
across the place Of opening of the lid, and so
that when the box is opened it will tear the
paper and destroy the signature, and so that
when the key is inserted in the keyhoe il will
tear the paper so pasted over the keyhole
Such paper shall be securely fastened to the
box with sealing wax or some other adhesive
material
1--WE found that in Is precincts the paper
was pasted on the box in such careless man
ner as not to cover the keyhole or comply
with the law in any particular; in fact the
boxes could have been opened and reopened
and the ballots tempered with without in any
way damaging the seal, and no one would
have been the wiser. 1t would have been pos
sible for the judges or clerks to have easily
tempered with the ballots without detection,
especially to mutilate the defective or disputed
ballots, if they had been so disposed. In adj
dition, we found that two boxes had no seals
at all This, in our judgment, was sufficient
evidence to justify us in presenting the Super
visors of Elections for neglect of duty, and
also the go judges and clerks in whose precincts
ubera we found violation of the law"

Work Now Under Way.-First construc-
ton work is being pushed on the Baltimore
and Belair Electric Railway, which is to run
from Hamilton to Belair. The start of the
construction carries the line past the expert
mental stage.
A force of men is now at work in the woods
near the Gunpowder falls, they being employ
ed in getting out poles and ties for the railway:
When the necessary timbers have been secured
the preliminary grading on the first section
will be commenced. This section extends
from Hamilton, where the connection with
the trolley cars of the city will be made, to
near the Gunpowder. AS the grading on this
section will be slight the work will probably
be finished some time next year.
With the section completed the approach to
Belair from Baltimore will have been lessened
about five miles, leaving about y miles to be
constructed. During the winter months the
work of getting out the additional timbers will
be pushed as actively as possible, and it is
hoped that by next spring the work all along
the line will be well advanced. A site for the
power-house has been secured in Hartford coun-
ty, and park and resort will also be laid out.

Delegations Calling on the County Com

pressed upon them the importance of making
immediate repairs. The Board promised to
give the matter attention and an appropriation
will be made for hard material for the road.
In the delegation were Messrs. G. Ross Mace,
Frederick J. Schneider, Jacob Kahler, Christie
pher Selling, John R. Dodson, John H. Gross,
G. Evering, John Betz, J. II. Volz and others
A delegation from the Sd district, consisting

John B. WALES, Harrison Rider, H. H. Emich
and E. L. Bland, appeared before the Board the
same day and secured five additional electric

Mr.. FREDERICK GROSS has spent his entire

every man in it. He is an extensive coal dealer
in Canton and by close and intelligent attention
to his business he has placed himself among the

ton of the county. He stands deservedly high
in the community in which he has lived so long,
and that he would make a capable and conscien-
tious official goes without saying.
