METHODIST MINISTER'S OPPOSE
AMENDMENT.

Baltimore, October 19.-At a
meeting held at the Eutaw Street
NJ. E. Church, yesterday, the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the Methodist Episcopal
Ministers Association of this City;
"While we do not presume to die
tate to our voting constituency on
questions purely political, neverthe-
less upon grave moral issues we feel
it our duty to express our convictions.
In our Judgement the proposed
amendment to be submitted to the
voters Of Maryland in November is
largely a moral question and is not
only un-American and un-Demo-
cratic, but is also unwise and unjust"

1t will, therefore, be the exercise OF
sound Judgment to vote for your
County man for Judge.
ELECT THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Before we go u press agar tile
.lecti..-.:-.-.l.'ss re.;i-.e.,,- sud State will
be held.
The people will be called upon TO
say who shall be their next office
holders in this County and wing shall
be their Judges in this Circuit. The
Republican Party has put before the
people in this Circuit as candidates,
two men, Hon. y. Suowden Hill and
Hon. Adrian Posey. With all due
modesty we believe that both are
men well qualified for the bench.
I'VE believe that their high character,
their integrity and honesty of pur-
pose well beft them to wear the err
Pnine unsullied. If they are elected
We can say that they will preside
byer the Courts with fairness and
Justice to ALL That justice will be
neted out to all alike whether be be
iich or poor, white or colored.
On the local ticket the Republicans
ave nominated men of ability, men
Ii high standing in the County, men
who are earnest, conscientious and
3vell qualified to fulfil the offices to
Ebich they aspire. They are all tax
payers and have the interests of their
county at heart.
The tax payers Of the County
should consider their records when
citing, they should realize that these
pen who like themselves being tax
layers want to see their County go
fprward, want to see it prosper and
ant to do all in their power to help
the advancement of its interests.
We believe that every man on the
Republican ticket is worthy of the
ipport of every good and conscien-
ous citizen.
We therefore commend them to
be public and urge their election.

HON. FRANCIS sNowDHN HILL


Hon. Francis Snowden Hill is one
of the Republican candidates for
Associate Judge in the Seventh Ju-
dicial Circuit Mr.. Hill has the
learning and integrity to make a most
capable and excellent Judge. He is
a clean, upright, honest and conscien-
tious man, who if elected will wear
the ermine unsullied, and with credit
to himself and his State. If he is
placed upon the bench he will per-
form the duties deyolying upon him
with satisfaction to all.
Mr.. Hill, lineal descendant of
Clement Hill, who came to Maryland
in 1862 and who was the Judge of
the Probate Court a d a member of
the Privy Council of the Lord Pro-
prietor, was born in Prince Georges
county, Maryland, August 20, 1858.
His primary education was under the
supervision of private tutor, the
custom at that time among the plan
ters of Southern Maryland, and later
he followed the regular course at
Worcester College, in Massachusetts,
and at Geo ;getown College. Later
he went to Europe and attended for
three years the University of Lou
vain, in Belgium, from which he was
graduated with highest honors. On
his return home he began the study
of law in the office of Mr.. c. C. Ma
gruder, now clerk of the NJ ryland
Court of Appeals, being admitted to
the bar before the Circuit Court for
Prince Georges county in 1875, the
Court Of Appeals of Maryland in
1879 and the Suprem Court of the
United States in 1896. He early wen
at the bar reputation for painstak-
ing effort and character IN his pro-
fession.
In 1881 he was appointed auditor
of the Circuit Court of his county,
which position he relinquished to ac-
cept the appointment in 1890 of Col
lector of Internal Revenue of the dis
trict of which Maryland is a part.
His conduct of this office was charac-
terized by business ability and integ-
rity, raising its standard from de
moralized condition to the highest
plane of efficiency. Mr.. Hill has beer,
aside from active practice of the law,
a progressive and successful farmer,
and is now president of the Maryland
tobacco Growers Association, pres
dent of the Greenwood Farm Com
pany, a successfully managed agrical-
tnral enterprise; director OF tie
Agricultural Fair Association of
Southern Maryland and trustee Of
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, of
Frederick, Maryland.

PLACE nm ON THE BENCH

Learning and integrity are com
bined in the Hon. Adrian POsey, one
Of the two Republican candidates for
the two vacancies on the bench in the
Seventh or Southern Maryland Cir
cult at the coming election.
Mr.. Posey has mind well trained
for the position of Judge, having
commenced the study Of law at the
age of / ) years.
lie was born in 1857, is 50 years
of age, aud was educated in the pub
lie schools Of Charles county, leaving
when IL years of age. He clerked
for 6 months in a country store but
bis father being too poor to hire help
TO run the farm he was compelled to
turn to the pillow and help to provide
food for the family About this time
he thought to study law, but having
no money he was compelled to bor-
row books from the late James +.
Matthews.
In 1876 he read law in the office
Of the late Richard II. Edelen, but
realizing that il was necessary to OBJ
tain a large scope of practice, he
borrowed some money and went to
Washington.
In 1879 he studied law one year
more, in the meantime attending
Georgetown University, passing the
bar in st. Mary's county in 1880.
Mr.. Posey then began the practice
Of law and has continued in active
practice ever since, having tried cases
in every Court in this Circuit, in sew
eral other States, in the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia, in
the U. S. District Courts Of Appeals,
and in the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Mr. Posey is not only lawyer but
a business mar, having organized in
1889 the Southern Maryland Savings
Bank, making it a success, and which
was later converted into a national
hank, of which Mr.. Posey is still the
president and controlling factor
Mr. Posey's success as lawyer has
been due to his good hard common
business sense, which is so n, cessary
for Judge to have when dispensing
justice, but which is too often lacking,
and is the reason that a rich man
with a corps of lawyers is able to
beat a poor man out of his house and
property which he has paid for
In electing a Judge politics should
be cast aside and the best man elect

one who can give a square deal; one
who will give poor man chance,
