| Montgomery County have been surprised
at the extent of the campaign for B. H.
| Warner. jr. In all parts of the county
meetings have been held and as a rule,
have been largely attended. Bands of
music were generally on hand and the
| American flag was always IN evidence.
| Speakers of prominence addressed all
meetings.
The automobiles. decorated with the
American flag and also the black and
white harmony flag, were found neces-
sary TO convey the speakers from place
to place and distribute literature. Yes
terday. an Irish jaunting car made it's
appearance for probably the first time
in the upper part OF Montgomery County.
1t was splendidly decorated with flags
and bunting. With each OF the motor
cars and jaunting car. were buglers. who
delighted the people along highways with
the fine music rendered.
Probably in 20 part Of the United States
is there more brilliant and energetic
campaign than the one now conducted
The friends OF Mr.. Warner say that. If
he is selected as the Republican standard
bearer as they are sure he will be, the
county VIII be kept alive until after

Alliance with Mcdonald.
The Warner and Mcdonald forces have
made very close alliance. and Capt. Nc
Donald is as much in earnest In assuring
Mr.. Warmers success as he was in con-
Quoting his own campaign. Friends, who
have heard his addresses during the past |
week, say that he is in better voice and |
has more vigorous appearance than he |
has for many years past.

Made Fine Record as Consul.
The career of Mr.. Warner at the out
set is we'll known to our readers. He
was the friend of President Mckinley.
and was appointed United States consul
at Leipzig. Germany. when but twenty |
one years of age. While at his post he /
entered the German University, from /
which he was graduated with high hon /
or. and. as a result of his efforts. he re-
ceived from that eminent institution of /
learning the degree of doctor of philoso-
ply. Hon. Andrew White who was
Ambassador TO Germany and formerly /
president OF Cornell University, ex-
pressed himself at a large gathering Of |
citizens at Leipzig on July 4. 1903, to the
effect that Mr.. Warner was one of the
best consuls in the country; he reflected
honor, not only to the Commonwealth of
Maryland, but TO his country, and the
appointment Of more men of such ex-
ceptional ability IN consular service would
greatly promote the interests Of the con-
sular service. The chief of the Consular
Bureau OF the State Department made a
statement to the same effect, adding that
Mr.. Warner was one of the most vol
luminous writer's In the service 1t will
be remembered that. when Mr.. Warmers
of consul to Leipzig was
sent 10 the Senate, Senator Wellington
made every effort to defeat his confrna-
ton, but was unsuccessful, and he was
confirmed Mr.. Warner
speaks German and French almost as
well as he does English.
During the past six years, Mr.. Warner
has practiced law In Washington and
Maryland. He is Of fine appearance. an
attractive speaker. and has a genial
courtesy which has made him many
friends.
State Committee Criticised.
Mr.. Warmers friends eriticise very Sc
verely the action of the State central
committee in setting date for the pri-
maries; in starting the machinery for
nomination in motion without being alb
solutely certain of the legality of the
steps they were taking Inasmuch, how
ever, as the date has been set, they deny
the authority OF the State central COM
mittee 10 change the same until the de-
cision Of the courts has been obtained.
The Warner adherents will meet on Sat
urday and conduct the primaries as orig
nally arranged by the State central COM
mittee They have called on the proper
authorities TO have officers at the polls I
TO prevent the use of whisky or money.
and to see that the proceedings at the
are conducted in an orderly
manner and consistent with good citi-
zenship and the peace of the community.
