When he emerged from business
retirement in 1895, he was nomi-
mated and elected governor. If he
had not built up solid and endur-
ing reputation as a business man,
his later political success would
not have been possible.
The son is building solidIy. He
is laying his foundation safe and
sound as a business man. With
his reputation established in the
commercial world political success
is sure to follow, provided, of
course, Mr.. Lowndes wants polit-
ical success.
Young Lowndes is now a busy
man, very busy man, with more
responsibilities resting upon his
shoulders than the shoulders of
any other man of his age-he has
just passed 3o-in Maryland. He
has recently acquired full control
of the Second National Bank of
Cumberland, of which his father
for many years was president. He
could probably have been elected
president to succeed his father, but
he preferred that the position
should go to man more familiar
with the banks affairs and rami-
fCatiOns. Mr.. Daniel Amman, who
had long served as cashier, became
president. Mr.. Lowndes became
the vice presisrnt. He owns a
controlling interest in the Cum
berland Daily News. His mining
interests are large enough and
enough to keep an average man
busy. He is a director in half a
dozen financial institutions.
These are the interests which
came to him upon the death of his
father. Mrs. Lowndes was the
only daughter of wealthy parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Quinn, of Chilli
cotbe, Ohio. They do say at
Cumberland that the combined
wealth of Mr.. and Mrs. Lowndes
is far above the half-million mark.
Young Lowndes has aged in a
year. In that year more Affections
and more responsibilities have
come to him than come to most
men in a score Of years. Within
year his father, his father-in-law
and his mother in-law and his
brother, Richard, have died. Rich
ard was his twin brother. He was
more than that. He was his per-
sonal friend. His death was a per-
sonal loss.
Is it any wonder that the face of
Mr.. Lowndes, who year ago had
no responsibility, no cares, no
| burdens. ShOuld have a settled ex-
preston, serious expression?
He is a well-educated young
man, fully fitted for the respon-
sibilities suddenly thrust upon
him, After receiving a prelimi-
nary training at DR., Colts cele-
brated St. Pauls School, he en-
tered Yale University, from which
he was graduated in 1895. He
spent three years at the Yale Law
School, He then settled down in
Cnm berland tc practice his profes-
sion. Just as he was beginning to
gather a few clients around him
his father died and the course of
his life was diverted from the legal
to the professional.
Mr.. Lowndes is well equipped
to enter the political arena in Al
legany when he thinks he is in pO-
sition to do so. The political ami
mosities, which his father created,
as every successful man creates
them, do not cling to him. Mr..
B. A. Richmond is his personal
and political friend. He is not
antagonistic to Congressman Pear
re nor is Congressman Pearre an
tagonistic to Him. Mr.. Lowndes
voted for David i. Dick for Sena-
tor.
