GIVES HIS ENDORSEMENT
DIR. George WelIes Tells Why
Charles h. Stanley OF Lau-
rel Should Receive The
Support OF Anne
Arundel County
WELL FITTED FOR CONGRESS-
With The Chances So Strongly FayOring
Democratic Victory Stanley Is
Logical Man As Party Candi.

Apropos of what the Capital yes
terday published regarding the career
of the Hon. Charles ii. Stanley as q
Democrat and a man of the people,
DR.. George Wells, the Democratic
leader of Anne Arundel county, this
morning in an interview with a rep
resentative of the Evening Capital,
expressed himself as follows:
''In my opinion, there are strong
reasons why Mr.. Stanley should re-
ceive the support of Anne Arundel
county Democrats in the primaries,
and of the Anne Arundel people in
the general election, there being no
candidate in the field from this
county.
"He is admirably fitted by age
and experience to represent the Fifth
strict with credit and distinction in
the Congress. He has spent a life
time in the district, and is entirely
familiar with it in its whole extent.
AS a man of lagre affairs and un-
wearying activity for many years, he
possesses a most intimate acquaint-
ance with Southern Maryland prob
lens and Southern Maryland people,
with all its material interests and it's
social and political temperament.
"At this time, when we have the
right opportunity in many years to
elect a Democrat from the Fifth dis
trict, Mr. Stanley appears as the best
equipped candidate the Democratic
party of the district can put forward.
he saL
the next Congess, with its now as
sured Democratic majority, require
that we should seek to be represented
by man of the ripest judgment and
of the sturdiest character. Mr.. Stan
ley's mature experience in his pro-
fession, in political life, in business
affairs, and in many things that near
ly affect our people, is guarantee
that his service would be satisfac-
tory, and calculated to rebound to the
welfare of the State.
"As Democrat, he has fought the
battles of the party in Southern
Maryland for a long period of time.
In his own county of Prince Georges
he has ably and faithfully discharged
public trusts, and it is apparent
that the people there hold him in
the highest estimation and that he
will not lack votes at the prima-
ries.
Throughout his whole career,
whether in its public or private
relations, he has shown the kind of
wisdom and strength and courage
that is always admired One of the
veteran exemplars of the principles
and faith of the Democratic party in
Maryland, Mr.. Stanley has always ex-
hibited an independence and sturdi-
ness of character, an answering ad-
herence to principles and a devotion
to the best interests of his party and
his people in Southern Maryland that
mark him out, at this juncture, as the
leader who can carry US on to victory
this fall. To narrate the roll of his
achievements as man and lawyer,
or enumerate the homely virtues of
his character, is hardly necessary.
"The masses of the Democrats of
Southern Maryland know him and he
knows them in the public mind his
name is associated with all that is
best and purest in talent and ability
and he is regarded as one who can
surely redeem the district from Re-
publican thraldom, and be the true
exponent at Washington of it people
and their aspirations.
ITO the Democrats of Anne Arun-
del he appears as self-reliant, able
and excellent man, whose career has
been void of self-seeking, and he is
the type of candidate whom the
sound-hearted and progressive party
men here like and will support.
bespeak for Mr.. Stanley the hearty
support of the Democrats of A nne
Arundel county"
