Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1909-10-30
Political.

a. G. Rawlings, of the Potomac valley
was in town Tuesday on business. Like
nearly everybody else, Mr.. Rawlings re-
CARDS impending political results as I'M
certainties. In some cases the count
only of votes cast will tell the story.
Mr. Rawlings is leading citizen of his
section.
David A Robb, States attorney, was
here few days ago. The JOURNAL saw
him only at a distance but he seemed
to be in dead earnest
Col. John Heating, of Cumberland,
and Hon. William J. Ford, of Lonacon-
ing met Tuesday in front of DR.. T. F De-
Naouley's office. The JOURNAL would
have suspected a political caucus, but G..
A. Lapp was present, which indicated
that the talk was rather judicial than
either Legislative or political.
Adam Lebeck, OF Westernport, noml-
nee for County Commissioner, was here
also Tuesday. Lebeck is a good talker
and makes favorable impression.
Frank A. Perdew. OF Cumberland,
nominee for House of Delegates, came
Monday. The sketch of Mr.. Perdew.
written for the Cumberland Times and
elsewhere reprinted seems to be an ex-
cellent biographical reflex of Mr.. Per-
dew's life, character, success, and capa-
bilities for vet higher service.
Hon. David +. Dick, ex Safe Senator.
was i'll Frostburg Tuesday on his travels
selling oils, etc. He didn't seem to be
here purposely, but election day being
so near at hand it was convenient. y
He looks unusually well and 1.-THE smile
which wont come off, is UNANIMOUSLY
broad and catching. Sounds funny to
say it, but Dick. to the judge Boyd ex
tent-no farther, is this time a demo-
crat, and he intimates that if there be
only one vote in the No. 10-Lonacon-
ing count next Tuesday evening for
judge Boyd, that vote will be his.
When the JOURNAL intimated that he
might some day be "held to account"
for his epostasy, even though fractional,
Dick said he had been held to account.
Now it's my turn Besides, there is a
whole lot of grief i'll store for any man
who takes without resentment every
thing that some people want to pile
upon him"
A former resident of the county writes
to an old friend here:
We are all well and busy. but as election
day approaches my mlnd reverts to Mary
land. ! am particularly interested in two
thlngS-the defeat OF the constitutional
Amendment and the election of judge Boyd.
| expect to vote for democratic candidate
for Judge here-because he has served so well
on the bench and if | were a voter in the
Fourth Judicial Circuit of Maryland would
vote for judge Boyd for the same reason |
don't believe in 'osIerizng' our efficient
and experienced men. Hence, ! guess am
not much of party man any more, as when
the Organization is not clean enough to
get my unqualified endorsement | am con-
strained to pick my men.
"Thoughtful Voters" make a splendid
appeal in general way to their com
rades in Garrett county to support
Thomas J. johnson for the State Senate.
Coming down to particulars, johnson
can get more consideration for public
highways than either of his competitors,
and he would be a big help to Clayton
Purnell in saving the State schools and
getting that 10 millions Of unassessed
property ON the taxable list.
1t is reliably said that the committees
action in endorsing Mr.. Purnell upon
the latter's pronounced loyalty to county
interests not only implies that the demo-
cratic nominees for House of Delegates
are also committed to the preservation
of current county autonomy. but, all be-
ing present, they gave hearty assent to
that understanding.
