MR.. GARRETT SPEAKS.
The chairman of the convention called for
Mr.: Garrett when that gentleman came forward
and said:
II have very little to say at this time, but 1
want to thank you deeply for the confidence you
propose to repose in me. l will leave no stone
unturned in my effort to win, and l believe the
district can be carried.
"our long time opponent has been beaten
hQ hos lin, In
opinion he has done much harm to Baltimore
county and should be retired. 1 ask that you
dedicate your hearts and souls to this cause,
not only for this campaign, but so long as it
may take to win the victory. believe 1t can
be won this time, but if not. we must keep up
the fight. 1t will take persistence upon our
part, and it may take time, but we can and will
win in the end.
ut is very distressing to me. as know it is to
you, to witness the condition of our beloved
county. Actually there is not single creditable
thing for which the present county government
no good roads, particularly in the upper part of
the county, and, as has been said, lawlessness
prevails to an outrageous extent in certain
sections.
1T seems to me that we ought to get together
and overthrow this man, who do not hesitate
to Jackie this proposition earnestiy and boSe
you will join with me and with each other in
accomplishing it,"
