4 PEARRE LOVE FEAST.
Convention At Frederick kominates
Him by ACc!amation.
NOT A WORD OF OPPOSITION,
Col. Pearre Extends Olive Branch
To All Who Fought Against
Him And Who Went Down In
Fight.

FREDERICK, MD, July 3. - with
charity to all and malice toward none. "
These were the words with which Col
George \. Pearre closed the Republican
convention of the Sixth Congressional
district which met here today Fat noon
and for the fifth consecutive time nomi-
mated him as its candidate for Congress.
The nomination was given him by ac-
clamation, the name of Pearre was
cheered to the echo and the enthusiasm
of his followers who composed the con-
vention knew no bounds 1t was
veritable love feast and not discordant
note was struck. This marked degree
of harmony was made possible by the
fact that in the entire convention there
was not single representative of the
factions in Allegany county who made
such a strenuous contest in the pri-
maries. Those who made the fight in
Frederick and in Montgomery William
H. Kinks and Thomas A. Dawson
came gracefully into the Pearre camp
and joined in the plaudits of the original
Pearre supporters.
Triumphant and gratifed the Colonel
briefly but eloquently addressed the
delegates, accepting the nomination
declaring that he bore no i'll will toward
those who opposed him. In speaking of
Mr.. Lloyd Lowndes, his recent opponent
in Allegany county, he said he doubted
not that Mr.. Lowndes would play the
part of a good citizen and would ulti-
mately be as valuable to the community
and the district as had been his honored
father, the late Ex-Governor. To both
Mr.. Dawson and Mr.. Kinks he paid
! high tributes and asserted that as
Congressman he had always endeavered
to represent the whole people, Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans, without
respect to color or creed,
The convention was called to order by
Mr. John J. Bell, of Allegany county,
chairman of the district committee, and
Col. John R. Rouzer, of Frederick
county was nominated temporary chair
man by eX-Sheriff Charles T. X. Young,
Of that county, who also made a speech
welcoming the delegates to Frederick.
In taking the chair Colonel Rouzer paid
a tribute to "Allegany's brilliant and
honorable son, George A. Pearre," and
this started the enthusiasm. Messrs.
Galen L. TAFT, of Montgomery; and
Launcelot Jacques, of Washington,
were named as secretaries.
The following committees were
named:
On Credentials and Permanent Or
ganization-John W. George, of Allie
gany; Mccullough Brown, of Garrett;
Peyton Gordon, of Montgomery, and
Thompson A. Brown, of Washington
On Resolutions Richard j. Bruce, of
Allegany; Robert A. Ravenscroft, Of
Garrett; W. B. Burdette, of Montgom-
cry, and Henry Holzapel, Jr.. of Wash
ington.
These committees retired and during
the wait that followed speeches eulogiz-
ing Colonel Pearre were made by
Messrs. Galen L. TAFT and B. H. War
ner of Montgomery county. After
half an hour of celebrating the creden-
tials committee reported seating the
regular Frederick delegation, headed
by eX-Sherif Young.
Mr.. Holzapel, as chairman of the
resolutions committee, read the plat
form which, after claiming credit for
the Republican administration for the
great era of prosperity the nation has
ever known" indorsing the epoch
making administration of our fearless
President, Theodore Roosevelt de-
clares as follows:
While we, following our party S
steadfast rule, believe in the advance
OF all legitimate business interests and
stand for equal laws for the farmer and
the merchant, the workman and the
capitalist, we emphatically denounce
those large combinations of capital
which have fought to stife competition,
monopolize industry and crush ambition,
and we glory in the unmistakable stand
which the Republican party has taken
to curb and control the so-called trusts
and every class of monopoly.
We congratulate the people of Mary
land on the decisive and overwhelming
defeat Of the so-called Poe amendment,
which sought to rob thousands of honest
and patriotic men OF citizenship's most
sacred right. The defeat of that
nefarious measure shows, more than
any event in our beloved State in re-
cent years, the power of an Independent
people when aroused to action. 1t is an
achievement to which we may proudly
refer, and the attempt of the Demo-
cratic machine to disgrace our Consti-
tuition by such an amendment gives us
the right to call on the honest citizen
| ship of MARYLAND. without regard to
