The Comfy Ballot i'm Rhyme.


| For Sheriff he was hard to "swaller," so /
well
| | look d down at WILLIAM H KREITzBuRG
the Prohib.,
And then upon SoYsrER, but still fear'd to
nib.
Two EpwARDsEs, quite hands )mc, confronted
me next,
| But Tow FArKIN, for Treasurer, furnished
text
Which ROBERT PLAsKErr could never find
anywhere
In the Bible, on the desk, or the pulpit chair.
! D. A. RonB. for States Attorney. sounds
much like Pearre,
And Wilson's too fierce for a law breaker
like me-
For the House of Delegates there is FRANK
LEE CARL,
Who is too nee to engage in a three months
snarl;
Next comes a good Frostburg printer, of
CHEEKY look,
And a smile for everyone-HENRY F. Cook
Followed by a loud talker who once 'turnd
the trick
His name, believe. is Mr.. DAVID L. Dick.
| Then THOMAS G. DILLON, always democratic,
SudNe, pplte tOTuldl anu lditIN tilhtl',
With EDGAR r. DUKE dry doctor,
believe,
And w. J. Ford, labor's big cause swelling
his sleeve.
J. +. GRNNpsrAFF, a bright light in
Prohibition,
| Coaxing J. b. CUNNING into coalition.
Another J. b. looms up-short for
HuMMGNG-BIRD,
D.. l.;
than third.
LoGspoN, LONG. LUCAs-three Socialists in a
row,
And ANDREW NJ. SMITH, with another row
to hoe
Ere JosEru SrRIGG and FLOYD SroTIER get
on the jump
| To beat the fast pace of the trekker-JoHN
j. STUMP.
| DAVID TENANT comes neXt-JoHN TERNENT,
English seer,
While p. O. WEBER modcstly brings up the
rear.
| For good roads darcy BRADY is first on the
list,
| With w. II. CHNrrELL, professional
Socialist.
| Next Doctor GRIFFITH, with a spanking
two horse team,
than they seem.
| d. ID. McELFIsH has some notions about
mud,
Which WILLIAM c. MORGAN Hkens to a dull
thud.
Another WILLAM-MYERs, thinks roads
should be dry,
And W. T; PARKER says the middle should
be high"
Agreeing entirely with Myers w. BoYp
Holds that under his rule wet roads will be
myth.
Not so" announces TwIGG, a republican
by rule,
While looking at the record of q. CLINTON
UNI.
But all things have their best-hkewise
their very worst -
| So said someone in a voice sounding like
LLOYD BURST
| Yet we can make all things better for all,
you bet,
| Replied \. X. EMERSON, somewhat in pet
But gentlemen, if you would witness
something nice,
| Go and scan the record of c. ADAM HIcE."
| Here intervenes a Democrat, LAUGHLIN by
name,
IN the game"
| But another ADAM-not an understudy-
| His name LEBECK-Hice's most official
buddy
| Ahead of pat Socialist-ALEX. MUNRO
| Ahead, too, of PAGENHARDr-t the sheet has
| 1t so.
| Then SMITH No. 3 pops in-descendant of
John,
The captain, Pocahontas folks are banking
| on.
| But on line all the other names seem to
meet,
| Merge and concentrate in our JOHN
| MARYLAND STREET..
| Then Il nice east-end Democrat-TwIGG No.
Arises to say-"here am elect me- too"
| For County Commissioners only two
| Each unselfsh-if 1t be to the others gain
| Two JOINS, two Ws-both dry, even III the
rain =
| WALKINsHAw and WILLIsoN-two most
honor'd names
| Members good of church. and not up to
sinful games.
For Judges of Orphans Court-vote only
for three
| First is JAMES w, BISHOP, man of high
degree
In Prohibition courts-too high and dry for
you.
If so, strike a gait that is soft, but strike it
| true.
| Next is J. n. NJ. BRANDLER and there's
WILLIAM CLOSE,
| Who will never trouble you with an
overdose.
Or select WILLARD f. DAVIS, a Democrat,
| Or GETzENDANNER, Republican, and all that
The names IMPLY; or if you're not a
| Socialist,
And want to get right down into the very
glst
OF that party's measurement-by inch, foot
| and ell
| OF estate affairs, vote for THOMAS H.
| GRINDELL.
Same can be urgd of PATRICK O'CoNNoR, /
ween,
But SAMUEL JACKSON, Democrat, comes
between
And JomN 0'HANLEY, still another Irish
name,
Adds Hibernian zest to vote for him the
Again the Socialist-his name is SAMPSON
Ross,
With THOMAS ROVE, TO cast such votes, is a
dead loss
For Rowe is Prohib., and 1t can be
reckond
He wouldn't make a motion" that WILSON
wouldn't second"
