, The ticket is generally conceded as
being splendid one and is headed bv
the only native born Republican candi-
date for Senatorial honors in the his
tory Of the county. Mr.. Speicher was
reared on farm near the town of Ac-
cident. He has been a resident Of that
/ section Of the county during his entire
, lifetime and has devoted his energies to
farming and stock dealing, and has been
! eminently successful in all his business
undertakings. He comes of an excel
lent family and his election will reflect
credit upon the Republicans and people
generally of Garrett county.
In Messrs. Chappell and Bolden, as
candidates for the House of Delegates,
the whole people Of the county can
rally to their support. For many years
Mr.. ChappeIl has been a resident of
hitzmiller where he is engaged in the
mercantile business and is also post
master of that town. Mr.. Bolden is a
native of Oakland where he has been
successfully engaged in the furniture
/ business and as a contracting builder
for number of years; the son of an
old Union soldier and at present mem
Der of the town council of Oakland.
Mr.. Andrew Shartzer, candidate for
Sheriff, is another native Garrett coun-
tian. He is a successful farmer, residing
just outside of Oakland on the Deer
Park road. For many years it has been
Mr.. ShartZer's ambition to become
sheriff of the county, which fact alone
will spur him on to render satisfactory
service to the whole people and it is
hoped that he will have the united sup
port of the party.
Mr.. Robert l.. Friese, of District No.
6, well equipped and entirely competent
for the duties of the County Treasurer S
office. is man for whom it should be
pleasure to vote. More than three
I years ago Mr.. Friese met with an acct
dent which has rendered him unable to
work at his trade, that of carpentry.
His fealty to party and his integrity is
beyond question. His election to the
office for which he has been nominated
Is something more than duty owed by
the Republicans of the county to a de-
serving and unfortunate man.
The County Commissioners candi-
dates, Messrs. Dixon and Lowdermilk
are Representative of the progressive
farming and mercantile lines of bust
ness, Mr.. Dixon being one of Oakland's
most successful merchants, who by his
own efforts and desire to become
factor in the business world of this COM
munity, has established a most success
full business backed with brains and a
keen effectiveness for details which he
will take with him to the commissioners
Office. Mr.. Lowdermilk is one of the
progressive farmers of Selbysport dis
trict where he is held in high esteem
for his stralghtfordwardness and his
ability. and his election will reflect credit
upon the people of the county.
Mr.. A. e. Ross, the candidate and
present incumbent of the office of Clerk
to the County Commissioners, has
shown his worth by his past record of
good service well and faithfully rendered
and his nomination is a deserved com
pliment as well as duty owed the NOM
