The Republican Judicial Convention,
of the third district, has failed to make
any nominations against Judge Burke
or Judge Duncan. and they will have no
opposition at the general election. While,
in a way, this is a compliment from the
minority, yet it could have been expressed
in a much more gracious manner. The
fitness and high character of these gen
tlemcn are so we'll known that the Repub-
licans felt that to make nominations
would simply be a labor of love, yet they
would have undertaken the task had
they been able to get any Republican
lawyer of standing to have accepted the
leadership.

For the past month, anearnest effort
has been made in Baltimore county to
have the toll roads leading into the city
either improved or converted into county
highways. 1t is proposed i'll the event
o: these turnpikes becoming county pro-
perty, to ask the Legislature of 1906 to
make n small appropriation for the pur-
pose OF retaining them into passable |
highways The condition of all these |
roads is certainly worse than were the |
public highways even during the Ensor |
reign of that county In many places |
they are almost impossible. Both the |
Hartford aud the Rel Air turnpikes come |
under this ban. As these more directly |
the people of Hartford county, |
the movement to see au Improvement |
will be especially welcomed by our local
communities.
