nature, he possesses plenty of good
common sense and his record at An
napolis will be one of which every
one of his friends can point to with
pride
Mr.. Charles A. Andrew was mem.
Der of the session of 1902 and as
such gained much prominence for his
stand on the Hannah Oyster bill. He
was a member of the Committee on
Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries and
as such forced the bill out oil its dead
files long after its enemies had
thought that it was permanently re-
posing in the quiet sleep of defeat.
He championed the measure in a
fearless manner and wasalso agreat
advocate of the Shoemaker Road
Law. His services on the Ways and
Means Committee in saving money
for the state were also invaluable.
Mr.. Harry c. Lawder is a resident
of Havre de Grace and a life long
Democrat. This is the first time he
has been nominated for any Office.
Two years ago there was a close run
between him and Mr.. George w. Nc
Comas and on a recount the place
was accorded to the latter. Mr..
Lawder accepted the situation with
consistent grace and his high honor
today is a reward for this action.
For County Treasurer the party has
again named
JOHN FINNEY WELLS.
He has twice been elected to this
responsible office and will again
serve the people in the very best man.
ner. His record is one that any per-
son might covet, and the conduct OF
the office has been such as to inspire
confidence with those who have had
any business connections with it.
There is no position that the tax
payers should guard more zealously,
and in re-electing Mr.. Wells they con-
tinue in office man who has been
tried and found true.
The voters will again welcome
their candidate for sheriff
FREDERICK w. REAsIN.
He is entitled to their confidence.
Two years ago he left this same
office with the respect of every one
and the confidence of the business
community. There is no one who
comes so close to the misfortunes oil
his fellow man as does the sheriff,
and the present nominee while strict
in every detail always showed that
he had a strong sympathy that was
comfort for the distressed and
down-fallen, although there were
mandates that society wisely pro.
vides had to be carried out against
them. Mr.. Reasin will fill the office
in the way that won him so much
praise during his last term and the
voters will again show their conf,
dence in re-electing him.
The candidate for commissioner is
]. THOMAS ANDERSON.
He is a native of the fourth district
and comes into the important office
with a splendid recommendation
from his neighbors. Those who
know him best say that he will make
a good official and a majority of the
Democrats are willing to accept this
statement. Mr.. Anderson is farmer
who has always administered his
own affairs in thrifty manner. The
county commissioners are clothed
with powers that more nearly affect
every person than any other public
office. They levy and collect our taxes
and spend the same as they see fit.
That every taxpayer will get valuere-
ceived for each dollar that's collected
will be the earnest effort of Mr.. And
erson and we believe that our high re-
gard of his ability will be endorsed by
a majority ofthe voters at the Novem-
Der election.
The county surveyor is
WILLIAM T. CLARK.
1t has been asserted that our nomi-
nee has a life tenure on this office.
This however is not the case and
were it not for his ability the voters
would not time after time continue
to express their confidence by re-
electing him. The story in Novem-
Der will be the same; only he may
have larger majority.
THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
The primary election passed off very
quietly at all the polling precincts.
The new law gave some little trouble
