If He'd Only Had the Chance.

II He'd Only Had the Chance.
The world is fun of heroes whom the
people never name,
Because the chances needed for their
valor never came;
The woods are fun of songsters that
have never changed mans ear.
Because when they have warbled
there has been no one TO hear.
Would Bonaparte or Caesar ever have
achieved renown
If each had been a shoe clerk in some
little country town?
Would Washington be honored by his
eountrymen today
If George the Third has acted in a
wise and decent way2

To be just where he was needed, be

The girl who guides your collar
through the ironing machine
Might in other circumstances have
become stately queen
So let us not be jesting at the man

He might have been a Bismarck had

Your barber might have dazzled as an

impressionable. And yet we men

Vote! VOte!! V0te!!!

Fellow citizens of Worces-
ter County:
You who have read the daily
news realize that the election
of Congressman Covington
next Tuesday is most impor-
tant, and under no consider
atoms will you remain away
from the polls. You hear the
echo now of a great Demo
cratic victory in every section
of the country. The people
are coming into their own once
more, and the next Congress
will surely be Democratic if
we but do our duty. Every
vote cast for Mr.. Covington
in Worcester will make more
sure his carrying the First
Congressional District.
Mr.. Abraham Lincoln Dry
den, who is running against
Mr.. Covington is a Republi-
can, who is reported to be a
negro-lover, to what extent
you will see i'll another article
published in the MESSENGER
today. He is not the kind of
a man you want to see elected,
and he will not be if you do
your duty. Go to the polls
early and see that your neigh
Dor goes with you.
The ticket is easy to vote.
One X mark placed in the top
square of the ballot is a vote
for the Hon. James Harry
Covington, and you will be
proud after the Sth of Novem-
Der that you made it there.

Some postmasters who are actively
engaged in the campaign are likely to
get themselves in trouble in the First
Congressional District. Already COM
plants have been made which will likely
cause one prominent postmaster to lose
his job We would also warn rural mail
carriers against campaign contributions.
The refusal to give will probably be of
greater advantage to them than If they
are contributors. They are under civil ser
vice, and they had better be careful and
not allow Republican heelers to pull
their purse strings.
Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Hotel Rennert, which APP

from the bottom rung to the topmost
one in the hotel business in Maryland.

The Inspection Of Nursery
Stock.

INSCRIPTIONS nurserymen outside Of
Maryland have sold stock to growers in
the State that oftentimes could not be
considered standard, and in many cases
it has been found infested with serious
pests. In order to prevent the repeti-
ton of such cases all persons securing
nursery stock from any nurserymen
outside of the State are requested to
notify the State Entomolgist, College
Park, Maryland, and he will endeavor
to have such stock inspected so that all
diseased stock would be destroyed in
accordance with the law and the nursery
men held responsible for the loss. This
procedure does not reflect upon the
honest nurserymen. but the inspection
is to prevent fraud upon our growers by
the INSCRIPTIONS out-state man. II is,
therefore. hoped that all persons secur-
ing stock from out-state nurserymen will
notify the above state officers so that
an inspection can be provided for.

Eden, Md. Nov. /, 1910.
Editors Messenger
| want to make few remarks about
the approaching election. in behalf of
Hon. j. Harry Covington, candidate for
Congress. the highest esteemed man
who ever went to Congress from this
district. He has already proved he did
not go there to deceive the people. He
has sent message every week or so to
the people of his district. In order to
do away with the higher tariff let every
Democrat of Worcester County do all
that he can to elect our candidate to
Congress. II the Republican party elects
their candidate the poor working people
will suffer, because of the high prices
of the necessities of life and high taxes.
Therefore, few rich men will own all.
and the poor will be worse off than now.
The Payne ldrich Tariff Bill will be the
cause Of it. II we will elect our candi-
date he will help repeal it. think every
white man in Worcester County owes
his ballot to Hon. J. Harry Covington.

Obligations Of Citizenship.

Editors of The Mesungcr:
For the past thirteen years ! have
been conscious of debt of gratitude to
the people of Worcester County. Often
have wished that might do something
to show my appreciation of their kind
ness in sending me to Washington Col
lege for it was this preliminary edu-
cation that gave me the incentive and
made possible five and one-half years
of study and research in three universe
ties in this country and one in Europe.
During the nine and one-half years
that | spent in college endeavored to
keep my mind open to the truth, the
whole truth. regardless of party or sec
tartan connections. Indeed. think
can say that up till the last few years
had almost forgotten that parties and
sects existed and if | were conscious
of their existence, cared little what
they stood for. My study and research
was directed wholly towards the dis
covery of the truth, no matter in what
form or place it appeared In addition
to the love for the unclouded truth,
was DESTROYS Of being considered by my
friends and students as non-partisan and
unprejudiced This good opinion has
uiestut So ftluCIl W ttic THAT nave never
exercised my right of franchise which
have been entitled to do for ten years.
These explanations, | trust. will make
it easy for the citizens of Worcester
County to join me in my efforts for
better economic and political education
in matters Of public concern.
After this present election. shall de-
liver in the towns and villages of this
county lecture on 1.-The Obligations
Of Citizenship. These lectures viii be
purely educational and open to the pub
lie Following the lecture snail sub
nit plan for the organization OF Civic
Clubs. These clubs will be for the pur-
pose of disinterested study OF public
questions, entirely regardless of party
lines. am determined that these clubs
shall not be used for party purposes.
Come listen to my plans.
Trusting that my efforts may meet
with your favor and with that OF the
people of this county, beg the honor
to remain.
Very respectfully yours.
