DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANTS.

Montgomery County, Md.

ROCKVILLE. Md. June 22. 1907.
The list of candidates for the various
democratic nominations to be made at the
primary election the first Saturday in
August is not increasing very rapidly and
the indications are that the total number
will not be anything like so great as was
al one time thought. Up TO the present
time twenty-eight have announced them
selves for the eight nominations to be made.
They are as follows:
For the house of DISQUALIFICATION B..
Ray. J, Dawson Williams. Clarence NJ.
Gritfith. Louis B. Schol, James L. Deets,
Andrew j. Cummings and Richard L,
White.
For sheriff-George w. MullCan William
T. Wheeler. Randolph Luhn. Washington
Il. Chichester, William e. Welt and Leon
idaS Ricketts,.
For judges Of the orphans coart-John E.
West. Remus r. Darby. George w. Meem,
Ninian NJ. Perry and Alfred c. Tolson.

siOneT from the fourth collection district
Charles Neirs. John w. Carroll Richard
Humphrey Cissell and Richard l.. Saunders.
For states attOrney-Bowie F. Waters.
Alexander kilgour. J. Abby Henderson and
Thomas NJ. Talbot.
While there may be a few more announce
ments. the list is believed to be about COM
plete. The aspirants are hard at work
among the voters and several of the con-
tests have become decidedly warm es-
pecially those for the county commissioner
nominations.

of the country, are being entertained there.
The reception room is provided with COM
Portable chairs and writing desk. and all
who chose may take an hours rest in the
midst of any days tour of sightseeing, and
in the interval scan any one of the daily
papers of Washington, which are always
on file. Mr.. Smith declared that nearly all
Washington firms which are represented by
exhibits at the fair have reported great re-
suits, and one of them in particular has
found it expedient to increase the force of
attendants at its booth. The committee of
fifteen has employed a janitor, who cares
for the reception room particularly, and
who also keeps the whole Washington Sec
ton in excellent order.

At this time there are among us thought
full men-not in the least given to hysteria
who fear that evil portents are to be
found in our political skies. Whether their
fears are substantial or not, a mere hint of
national peril should cause every loyal
American to wish devoutly that as a guar
anty of greater safety, there were in the
present generation of our political life more
devoted to duty as he whose memory we
are honoring today,
His Honorable Career.
His example. his earthly influence and
his honorable career are ours-bequeathed
to us by one who loved US and loved all
his countrymen.
LIE us not fail at this hour fully to
realize the value of this precious legacy.

the record of this useful life that duty to
God. to country and to clear belief
strengthened into a conviction is 1.-The

upon them the obligation of sober prepara-

the finest and best government ever vouch-

the mean and consciousness strife of un-

AT JAMESTOWN FAIR
THIS CITY WELL REPRESENTED,
ACCORDING TO REPORTS.

According to reports which have reached
Thomas w. Smith, chairman of the special
committee of fifteen on the jamestown ex-
position, the Washington exhibits at the
fair are practically all in place, and, in ad-
dition to attracting much attention, the
booths and their contents are proving of
material value to the exhibitors. The Wash
ington section in the great show is in di-
vision No. II, in the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building, and, situated near
the main entrance of that big structure. it
Is in a position which cannot fail to COM
mand attention and leave a deep impress
sion upon the minds of all close observers
who visit the exposition. Taken as a whole
the Washington section stands out more
prominently than that devoted to the dis
play of any other city.
In speaking Of the exhibit last evening
Nc. Smith took occasion to express his graf
ihcation at the excellent showing made by
this city, and he predicted the results at
tanned at the exposition will serve as an
entering wedge in convincing the whole bus
mess community of the practicabiity of
taking larger parts in worlds fairs of the
future.

Mr.. Cleveland's Address.

Mr.. Clevelands address was as follows:
We are here to commit to the keeping of
years to come and to future generations a
lasting and constant reminder of a noble
life. We dedicate this imposing monument
not to the heroism which war and strife
create. but to the herOism of civic courage
and the achievements of peaceful patrio-
tism. And seek to beautify its mas
sive strength by votive offerings from low
ing hearts.
What we do here is not for the dead, nor
is 1t for ourselves alone. We reveal to
sight witness which as long as our ma
ton lives shall testify to American citizen
ship everywhere. of lofty patriotism, of
civic righteousness. of unselfish endeayor
and of knightly courage. 1t shall testify.
too of time when the saving vigilance of
unperverted Americanism kept watch and
ward and gave warning of the approach of
any insdious foe of our nations peace and
welfare, and of time, when in the actual
presence of national perplexties and doubt
the loyalty of our people was neither ham
pered nor misleG by sordd motives, petty
partisanship nor class animosities:
Then none was for a party
Then all for the state;
Then the great man helped the DOOR,
Door m ed he.
