POLITICS TO THE FORE
CANDIDATES BOBBING UP ALL OVER
THE COUNTY
Direct Nominations Will Produce Biz
Crop Of BarkiSeS

Although the next election is nine
months on the political pot is
already beginning to simmer, and
candidates are springing up in every
direction Some of these may see
their shadows before the primaries
are held and retire 10 their holes, but
II is more than likely that the num-
ber will be much Increased by the
time the robins begin TO chirp. II
is more than probable the nomina-
tons will be made by direct vote in
the primaries and this will have "A
tendency TO bring out large num-
ber OF candidates.
The following officers will be
voted for In Carroll county at the
coming election. Two associate
judges. comptroller, clerk of the
court. register OF Wills. county COM
missioner, evui.ty treasurer, sheriff.
county surveyor and members Of
the House OF Delegates.
Besides these, the voters will be
called upon 10 indicate their choice
for a United States Senator to sue
ceed Senator Rayner. II is hard to
say now how many candidates there
will be for this position, but II is far
from likely that the present Senator
will be allowed to walk away with the
Endorsement. That $500 a year for
six years win doubtless look good to
several others before the campaign
ls very far advanced.
And II all this should not prove
sufficient to excite and enthuse and
entangle the man with the ballot. our
old-time friend local option will be ON
hand 10 inject little ginger moth
Ing stronger) into the campaign. II
Brother Anderson can have his way.
local option viii be the big three
ring circus and all other questions
and candidates viii be on exhibition
In the side shows only. Altogether
the indications are that there will
be hot time In the old State next
fall. and those who contemplate tax
ing part should be prepared to lead
the strenuous life for few weeks.
The State Central Committee will
probably NEE, within the next two
months and settle the manner OF
holding the primaries. If the COM
mittee decides for direct nomina-
tions, there win be candidates galore.
and the big fight will take place at
the primaries There will certainly
be more interest In the primaries than
We have had heretofore ;the people will
be better satisfied when they make
their own nominations, and defeated
candidates will accept the outcome
with better grace and lend their aid
TO the election OF those who were
successful

Y. N. {. A. MERTING.
Only sl0Oo More Needed for Building
and Equipment

A call was issued for all citizens
interested in the Y. NJ. c. A. move
ment to meet fast Tuesday evening
at the Wantz naiilding to hear the re-
port of the finance committee. The
attendance was most encouraging and
could all Westminster have been
present II would have been assured
by the interest manifested OF the ultI-
mate success Of the project.
The chairman of the finance COM
mittee reported total subscription
of $500. as result OF a thorough
canvass OF the town, and asked for
suggestions as to raising the neces-
sary remainder, $1,000. One-half OF
this amount was pledged during the
evening by those who had already
subscribed, with the understanding
that the obligation was to be met
either by direct payment from the
party or by securing a new subscrip-
tion OF the amount individually pletg-
ed. An earnest effort is now being
put forth 20 secure the last $1,000.
Surely this appeal ought not TO stand
long unanswered. Surely there are
men in Westminster well able to help
out In this time of need. The finance
committee have done noble work.
Cheer them. and do a good thlEB for
Westminster, by sending In gib-
scription. and do IL now.

hampstead, February z.
Editor Of the Advocate.
A man In this vicinity Is noted for
having the skill in feeding hogs, at
least he has the porkers. George
Rineman is the man. Here are some
OF the results: Last Saturday, jan
uary 81, Harry Richards killed nice
porker for Mr.. Rineman that dressed
7ss pounds, the hog being only two
years and half old; four years ago
he killed one that dressed ga pounds,
and ten years ago one that dressed
s64 pounds, which was the largest hog
ever slaughtered In this county.
Mr.. Rineman is not quite as skillful
feeding hogs as man Is reported to
be near Pleasant Valley, as he killed
a large hog and says he did not feed
Il very much. OF course there are ex-
ceptions to all rules. +. p. NJ.
