am RepuDllcan, Dut am going to
vote for Judge Crothers That shows you
just what consideration I give to the
charges.
Mr.. }. H. Sloan, Republican, said
Judge Crothers is good citizen and
will fill the high Office of Governor of the
State with credit not only to himself, but
to the State at large. Cecil county, and
his fellow citizens of Elkton are proud of
his success. Morally he stands, and has
always stood, for the highest principles. = =,
Mr.. D. Warren Wilson, Republican,
said ,-a~
Judge Crothers is recognized as one of
the leading citizens of this county. The
charges will not hurt him, and, in fact, I
believe that they will make him votes.''
Mr.. Grason L. Bennett, Republican,
said
Judge Crothers will profit by the
charges, His standing and integrity are
too well known in this community to be
affected by such politics.
Mr.. Samuel H. King, Republican, hard
ware dealer at Elkton, said
"No one can justly accuse Judge Croth-
ers OF committing any wrong or crooked
act in his private or public life. He is an
honorable man and 1 have great deal of
regard for him.
Mr.. M. 4. McGraw, of Elkton, said
''Those old resurected charges will do
Judge Crothers good. He is a good man
and the people of Cecil county know it.
We want the people of the State to know
that the charges are untrue"
Mr. Daniel L. Baldwin, president of the
Baldwin Manufacturing Company, of Elk
Mills, said ::
''The charges have rallied Judge Croth-
ers' friends to his support. His Republi-
can enemies in this district admit that the
publications will act as boomerang for the
and will make Judge Croth-
ers friends. 2"
Mr.. l.. o. Cameron, Republican, con-
tractor and builder at Elkton, said
"Such petty politics will not hurt Judge
Crothers. Every man in this county
knows his life like book and knows his
many good traits too we'll to be deceived
by such abuses. -
DIR. II. Arthur Mitchell, of Elkton, said:
Judge Crothers is man of ability and
has always made a good public servant.
He would make good Governor. The
charges will in no way injure his chances
OF success.
DR.. Howard Bratton, of Elkton, said
"The charges are just continuous round
of lies from petty politicians on the other
side, and I think the Republican press has
adopted shortsighted policy. 1t shows
that it is pretty hard up for campaign ma
terial when it stoops to such mudslinging.
These charges will not hurt Judge Croth-
ers. No man whose support is worth hav-
ing will pay any attention to them. The
charges are SO weak that they defeat them
selves. [ met men this morning who very
seldom talk politics, but they said that the
charges were outrageous and they proposed
to vote for Judge Crothers -
DR.. George S. Dare, of Rising Sun,
one of the most prominent physicians of
Cecil county, said:
"The trade of charges that is being
by. a Republican newspaper in
Baltimore is groundless. In this section
Of the county we have found that the allie
cations are helping Judge Crothers, as the
people know they are false. The Judges
ability and honesty are too we'll known by
the people of this county to be affected by
such methods of abuse. Republicans as
we'll as Democrats are loud in their praise
Of him, and the publication of the charges
has enthusiastically rallied his friends to
his support. - ...f1rs
Mr.. A. L. Duyckinck, lumber and
grain merchant of Rising Sun, said
II have never heard anything mean
charged against Judge Crothers. His
moral character is without blemish. He
stands too high in this county to be in
jured by such SANDERS -
Mr.. William M. Pogue, of Rising Sun,
said
''The charges are being circulated by
people. l fought Judge
Crothers two years ago, but l am enthusi-
astically supporting him now.'' 80
Mr.. Cecil f. Ewing, editor of the Mid
and Journal, of Rising Sun, said
Judge Crothers has made good pub
lie official. Such baseless charges put out
BY Republicans will not impair his chances
)f election,
DR.. Robert F. Black, of Cecilton, said
Cup in this section the charges are
ooked upon as driftwood They are lies
TO the core, and think that their publi-
cation will strengthen the Democratic tick
ct, especially in Cecil county. l think
hat the Democratic party did right in
Judge Crothers. He is big
enough, brainy enough and honorable
enough to make an admirable Governor. +"
Mr.. Thomas c. Swing, Republican, of
Town Point, said
Judge Crothers is morally all right and
deserves the support of all citizens of this
county regardless Of politics. have known
him for years, and personally know that
there is not one iota of truth in the things
Of which his enemies have accused him.
They will not have any influence on the
voters of this county,
