The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-05-31
Pearre Is Our Candidate.

! purpose OI selecting d QelSgdIlOn 10
nominate a candidate for Congress in
the Sixth Congressional District of
Maryland.
The present incumbent, Honorable
George A. Pearre, having acceptably
filed this seat in the lower House for
the past three terms, has accomplished
much for his state in general, and Gar
rett county in particular. He is ever
alive to the best interests of his con-
stituents and the welfare of his state.
Among the many bills that he has in
trOduced for the good of this county,
none is of more Importance than the
provision for an appropriation in the
Omnibus bill for the location of fish
hatchery in Garrett county. With such
natural advantages as we possess, and
by his able argument and untiring zeal,
he was able to have a favorable report
from his colleagues as to the induce
ments which Garrett county offered for
such an enterprise. Our mountainous
territory and the numerous streams of
pure fresh water that course through
the valleys of this section afford an op-
portunity for the establishment of
model hatchery that is offered in no
other section of the state.
Congressman Pearre is assured that
this bill will pass, and that our county
will have the site for it's location. Its
establishment within our borders will
great national advertisement that will
spread the knowledge of the wonderful
resources we possess broadcast to the
country at large.
A bill of such scope and Importance
cannot be carried to a successful con-
clusion in short time, and as he has
taken the initiative in this matter, his
continuance in Office is vitality necessary
to the full realization of these plans.
Mr.. Pearre is the man to carry out his
cherished hopes and desires, and having
had eight years experience along these
lines he is much better fitted for the
work than some new man would be.
| 1t was the continuance in office, term
after term, that made Reed, Blaine,
Cannon and Mckinley such great
statesmen and mighty powers in their
respective states. Their services year
after year made them invaluable to
their constituents and a necessity to
their states. |, as voter of Garrett
| county, am convinced that in no better
way can we show to the people our APP
probation of his excellent services than
by coming out in force to.the primaries
and selecting delegation that will
heartily endorse our gallant Colonel for
another term in the halls of Congress.
| am sure that the voters of the
Sixth District and especially Of Garrett
county do not want change at present.
Colonel Peame has worked diligently
and faithfully for the advancement of
/ the interests Of his constituents in the
district and no man has had its welfare
more at heart than has he. We have
tried him and he was not found want
| ing. Shall we now turn him down for
some one of whom we know not of
Shall we make a change for the mere
sake of changing? l am sure that the
voters of Garrett county are too intelh-
gent to do this. They know that he has
been their friend in the past; they know
that he is their friend now in every
! thing that is for their good, and they
know that in him they have a friend
who has, as | said before, the welfare
of their county and state at heart.
Frederick county has given him its I'M
qualified endorsement for another term.
| Washington county will follow suit and
unanimously endorse him for re-nomi-
nation. And Alleg any, his own coun-
ty, will give him an excellent majority
on the day of the primary. Now l ask
in all seriousness, how can we do other
wise? Shall we do less than our sister
counties have done? | know of no op-
position to him here, but as he NAV
have opposition in one or two counties
in the district we should make every
efforts to show the people of the state
that we heartily approve of his efforts
in our behalf, and that we desire his
continuance as our representative be-
cause we know that as a result we will
have a man whom we have tried, and of
whom we know. He has been a faith
full servant, and we should, and we will.
show our appreciation of his faithful
ness by continuing him in his present
honorable position.
Let US come to the primary on Satur-
day and show by our vote this district
is also solidly for Pearre.
