The Democratic advocate., 1907-08-09

The Democratic State Convention met at
noon on Thursday at the Maryland Theatre to
name candidates for Governor, Comptroller,
Attorney General and Clerk of the Court of
Appeals. An adjournment was made from
Is to 2. Is clock in order for the committee
on resolutions and permanent organization to
report. The convention reassembled at 2.SO
and received the report on credentials, but the
report on resolutions not being ready second
adjournment to 8 o'clock was made.
DR.. Warren II. Reynolds, of Cumberland,
was Chairman, and Col. W. Hopper Gibson,
of Queen Anne's, Secretary. The proceed.
ings were by turn tumultuous, spectacular,
bitter and enthusiastic. and whatever else may
be said of the convention, there certainly was
nothing cut and dried about it. Time and
again the efforts of the old organization lead
ers TO concentrate and nominate slate were
frustrated, and the ticket at last aud almost
unanimously agreed on was the result OF forces
that finally dominated and swept the body.
The defeat of Mr.. Henry Williams, of Bal
timore, was disappointment to the city dele
CATION. At one time he seemed sure of the
nomination, and ticket settled upon by the
State managers appeared to be certainty.
Twice it was smashed. The leaders had no
one to hold them together. They split,
changed and shifted. Finally the controlling
influences centered behind Judge Crothers
and nominated him.
II was a wide-open convention. Some blows
straight from the shoulder were exchanged.
Governor Warfeld expressed his views with
frankness and fulness both on the floor of the
convention and in the committee on resolu'
tions. There were some spirited tits. Sena'
tor German and the Governor locked horns
over the platform, the Governor and Colonel
Schley exchanged compliments of a tart ma
ture and at times the whole convention was in
an uproar. But the dove of peace never hut-
tered far away, and spirit of good feeling
nreyailed.

The Ticket and Platform.

The ticket nominated by the Democratic
Convention in Baltimore on Thursday evening
will bring feeling of great content and
satisfaction to every member OF the party IN
the State. That it was not soon or easily made
nm. that it was no cut and dried affair but the
result of the patient and deliberate counsel
of the wisest and most thoughtful men IN the
party, will, as it should, make 1t douoly ac'
ceptable to the masses of the voters.
Judge Crothers, the candidate for Governor,
has a political record of which he may well
be proud. He served term as States At
torney, and in that position exhibited par
ticularly noticeable briliance in oratory.
During his term as State Senator for Cecil
county he was appointed chairman of the FL
nance Committee and made Democratic leader
of the Senate. In both of these positions he
made an impression upon the State officials
which has never been forgotten.
Of DIR. Herring, little need be said to the
neople of Carroll county. His career in and
among its people has been 80 long and so hon
ored that any words of commendatlon regard
ing MIN muSJ Sccu hL ohSS
unnecessary. He has already served two
terms in the office for which he is again named
as a candidate, and his record during those
fonr wears attracted marked attention and was
accorded great praise throughout the State.
His administration of the States finances was
singularly masterful and successful and every
where received the most favorable comment.
His nominatian for a third term at this time
WILL we are sure, tend greatly to strengthen
the entire ticket, not only in Western Mary
land but throughout the State.
Concerning the two other candidates we will
say that they measure up to the demands OF
the times in every particular, and that their
election by the voters of the State to the offices
for which they are named will greatly tend to
add lustre to Democratic principles and Demo-
cratic rule and administration.
The platform is paper to which every
Democrat can subscribe and upon which every
Democrat can stand. 1t will be given in full
in our next issue.
Concerning the ticket Governor Warfed
1.-THE ticket suits me and will vote 1t with
pleasure. The platform, think, is good
one."
81 am perfectly satisfied with the result. L
am content that the convention saw lit to nom
mate Judge Crothers. Not for the Governor
ship nor even the Presidency OF the Gnlted
States would deviate from the course have
taken were it necessary to retrace it."-Mr.
Baker.
'sThe ticket is an excellent one, and it
should be elected by large majority. | know
each candidate will receive the full party vote,
and believe the ticket has elements that will
attract the independents. Judge CroIhers is
one of the ablest men of Maryland, and the
destinies of the State will be in safe hands
with his election. The other candidates are
ably fitted for the respective offices for which
they have been nominated, and each candidate
is noted for his integrity and honesty. y."-Sen'

ure of congratulating DR.. Herring on his re-
nomination for the important office of Comp

of the State that the chances for the States

so bright. He will easily lead the ticket in
