DEMOCRATIC TICKET
CONVICTION NOMINATED.

The Democratic nominee for
Congress in the FIRST District OF
of Maryland is Hon j. Harry
Covington, prominent attor-
ney of Talbot County For
sometime this nomination was
foreshadowed by the MEssEN-
GER. 1t was bound 10 come,
because the leaders of nearly
every county in the district see
in Mr.. Covington splendid
campaigner. successful man
and one who would represent
this district in Congress with
ability. Before Mr. Covington
became candidate for the Con
gressional nomination ne had
to battle with other asplrantS
in his own county for the
honor. Arrayed against him
were Hons Joseph b SETH, j..
Frank Turner and other well
known Talbot politicians, but
Mr. Covington won out and re-
ceived lie support Of his county,
and what is better those who
were his opponents for the
nomination became. his stauneh
supporters. Not only is Talbot
solidly back of Mr. Covington
in his campaign just beginning,
but every county III the district
is behind him with a unanlmlty
rarely ever seen in this section
of the state Itmeans that Mr..
Covington will be- elected
The people Of the Eastern
shore not only want To see Mr..
BRYAN elected, but they want
TO see Congress TO back HIM
up. If the Democratic party
continues TO gam at the same
ratio this year that il has IN the
past two Congressional cleo.
tions our party will have ma
jority in the next Congress
Hon. j. Harry Covington will
not be a dummy In the cam
paign the people viii be per-
mitted 10 ope and hear the man
for whom they are asked to
vote. They viii see that he is
man fully able TO hold his
own in Congress with the Re-
representatives. Of any State. he
will not only know what IS go
ing on when he gets in Congress
but he will have the intelli-
gence and qualifications TO pro-
tect in debate the interests Of
his State and the Nation.
With Bryan, Kern and Gov
ington TO vote for the First
Congressional District ought to
roll up a bigger Democratic
majority in 1908 than for many
years.

Toast to Women.

There has always been plenty Of
clever repaytee in toast giving at large
functions between men and women.
but it is not always that there are two
wits SO easily matched that one can
give the retort discourteous to the
other in so quick manner as to bring
out applause.
The way in which this was done at
a recent dinner is worth repeating. so
the toasts are given in detak. They
were both uncomplimentary but it
goes without saying that they will be
used again and again In laughing
spirit by those who love to play with
such fire.
\ man who avowed himself q wo-
man hater was asked to give a toast
to "lovely woman" He responded
with these lines:
Here's to the women who are tender,
Here's to the women who are slender!
Here's to the women who are large and
fat and red,
Here's to the women who are married!
Here's to the women who have tarried!
Here's to the women who are speeches.
but they are dead!
Without moments hesitation q girl
at the other end of the table got up
and gave this toast:
Our sex you know, was after yours de-
signed.
The laat perfection of the Makers mind.
Heaven drew out all the gold for Us and
left your dross behind.
