The People Much Pleased with the Sugges-
ton hat he BE Nominated for the
Office.

/ The REPUBLICAN is in receipt oil
another communication suggesting
Mr.. Scott Il. Jenes in connection
with the Republican nomination for
State Comptroller, as follows:
Mt. LAKE PARK, June 90, 1908.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Our people in this section were
much pleased with the communication
in your issue of last week suggesting
the name of Mr.. Scott T. Jones for
nomination to the Office of State
Comptroller. We need such men to
fill our offices; men of ability, honesty
and everything that goes to make up
the true man and citizen. Mr.. Jones
is man of great ability in almost
any line, and especially in financial
matters. Our county would be high
ly honOred by his nomination and ell
ection and our state would have an
able man to direct her finances.
Let the County Convention send to
the State Convention a strong del
egation in favor of his nomination.
J. A. H.
In connection whit the above
we append below an editorial
taken from the columns of the Graf
ton Daily Sentinel which pays a
glowing tribute to the worth and
ability of Mr.. Jones as a gentleman
and a business man:
WE NOTICE with feelings of gen.
uine pleasure that Mr.. Scott T. Jones,
cashier of the Garrett National Bank
of Oakland, is being doomed by an
earnest and accomplished writer in
the Oakland REPUBLICAN for the
office of Comptroller of the Treasury
of the State OF Maryland. Mr.. Jones'
long experience in financial matters,
his success as a banker and his high
standing as gentleman of the most
noble and cOmmendable traits of
character, as well as his good citizen
ship and his answering Republican
ism fit him for any Office within the
gift of our sister state, and we GER
tainly hope that the evident wishes
of his many friends as regards the
comptrollership may be gratifed. Mr..
Jones is the son of late Hon. John p.
Jones of Terra Alta, who was known
throughout the State of West Virgin
ia as man of sterling integrity, of
lavish charities and of the most sue
cessful business qualifications, and to
the son has descended those traits
that endeared the father to so many,
equipping him to meet and to battle
with the most formidable perplex-
tiles of life. Shonld Mr.. Jones be-
come an active candidate in the race
for the comptrollership, the good
wishes of the Daily Sentinel are GER
tainly with him.-Grafton Sentinel.
