ROCKVILLE. Md, July 30, 1900.
In a recent address to the democratic
voters of Montgomery county former
County Commissioner John II. Bogiey
made a plea against the denomination OF
State Senator Blair Lee, assigning the
following reasons: Because lie is opposed
TO the election of the county treasurer by
the people. because he increased the num-
Der of members of the county public
school board and because he is now ask
ing the voters to do what he is alleged
to have urged them not to do in his con-
test with Col. Spencer &. Jones four years
ago for the senatorial nomination. namely,
to allow a senator a second term.
Senator Lee Is out in reply to MIR. Bog
ley in which he declares that Mr.. Bog
ley's personal record is "glarinSly incon-
sistent with his present professions tie
then proceeds to give Il history of Mr.
Bogley's political career, endeavorlng to
show that the stand he now takes is di-
Jectly contradictory to his record.
Senator Lee has also replied to the final
letter of Mr.. Newcomb, his competitor for
the senatorial nomination. Mr.. NeWcomb
Is also charged with Inconsistency, the
senator declaring: 1t is hard to guess
Mr.. NewcOmb.t From his writings lie Ia
vors electing fhe county treasurer by the
the control of the county commissioners,
elected by the people. and placing them
In the hands of commission to be Sc
lected by the governor, and also of plac-
Ing the construction of roads under the
Shoemaker law more in the hands of the
county commissioners. From these incon-
sistencies the only truth that we can de-
duce Is that Mr.. Newcomb is very de-
sirous of being elected state senator
