at the head of it's editorial columns
the ticket that was nominated last
Saturday by the Democrats of Har-
ford county. This act on our part
pledges the support of the paper and
lis management to the outcome OF
the united work of the party and
from this time until the day of the
election we shall make every consis-
tent effort to insure its success at
the polls with as large majority as
Hartford ever gave to its popular
political organization.
1t is we'll to say right here that the
ticket that wasnominated represents
the choice of no one individual. There
is not man perhaps who partici-
pated in the primaries but what felt
4 degree of disappointment when the
returns showed the defeat of some Of
his personal friends. But we should
remember that we are all Democrats
banded together for what we believe
is the common good of the majority
of our people and that the Democratic
party will come more nearly giving
us the desired result. So bound as
we are by what we believe to be
right, and also by the implied pro-
mise that we gave when we partici-
pated in the contest, it is our duty
and obligation to vote the ticket
which, we again reiterate, is made
up, not by any individual, but the
united effort of the party.
For State Senate the party has
named
THOMAS H. ROBINSON.
The head of the ticket needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of this coun-
ty. He has been a familiar figure in
our midst since his boyhood days
and early in life developed traits Of
leadership that soon brought him
into public prominence. We could
refer to numerous acts that charac-
terise his craftsmanship but it is
only necessary to recall his record at
Annapolis two years ago when as
floor leader Of his party he shaped
its legislative record and contributed
i'll no small degree to the excellent
showing that was made on all finan-
cial matters. AS foremost champion
of the Haman Oyster bill he repre-
scented his constituents in an earnest
manner that carried with it a meas
ure of success far exceeding any pre-
vious meeting of the General Assem-
bly,. A bill was passed but vetoed
by Governor War6eld. His services
this winter in giving to the people of
the state an inexhaustible fund from
which they can draw money for their
public roads will be greatly needed,
and his work in this direction will be
endorsed by a majority of the popu-
lar vote.
For the House of Delegates there
have been named
WALTER r. McCOMAS.
EDMUND L. oLDFIELD.
CHARLES \. ANDREW.
HARRY c. LANDER.
Three of the nominees are new to
public life. Mr.. McComas is a men,
Der of the Bel Air bar and is we'll
known throughout the county. He
was born in the fourth district but
has resided in our countyseat for the
past ten years. His courteous man.
ncr has always been appreciated by
every one with who he Games in con-
tact, and he has plenty of ability to
make us a good representative. He
comes of good old Democratic stock
whose fidelity has never been ques-
toned and whose traditions have
always been the embodiment of
honor and correct dealing.
Mr.. Oldheld is son of the late
William O4dfeld; and our nominee
found that such parentage was an
excellent stock III trade whenever or
wherever he was i'll a portion of the
county whose people were new to
him. Mr. Oldfeld is farmer resid-
ing near the Rocks. He has always
lead a quiet life and this is his first
appearance before the public. He re-
ceived the highest vote of any one on
the legislative ticket which is always
a fiattering endorsement, OF a quiet |
