DOING FINAL WORK
Politicians From All Over County
Present Today For Last Time
Before Election.
REPORTS ENCOURAGING.
Growth OF German Sentiment Reported
From All Over Anne Arundel
County.

With the politicians from every
district in the county in town for the
last Tuesday before election, the party
leaders of the Democratic party were
greatly encouraged with the outlook
for the election of Senator German,
and his running mates on the State
ticket in this county.
While there are some indications of
a few of the Democratic voters split
ting their vote on county offices. this
cutting will not effect the result, as
the full county ticket from State Sen
ator Bells down seems absolutely
safe. At the same time the cutting
in Democratic ranks will not affect
the head of the ticket, as there seems
a steady turn of the tide toward Sen
ator German and Messrs. Harrington
and Poe
Senator German will close his cam
paign for the election in Anne Arun-
del county, being booked for a big
meeting at the Court House on next
Monday night, when, in addition to
him, speeches will be made by Cover
nor Crothers, Senator Lee and others.
This meeting, from all indications,
will be largely attended by voters
from all over the county, as we'll as
from Annapolis. Special arrangements
are being made for the comfortable
accommodation of the ladies', and it is
expected that many of the fair sex
will grace the occasion with their
presence.
In addition to this meeting Senator
German will be in Anne Arundel ear
lier in the week. He, with others,
will address the voters of the Fifth
district at big mass-meeting to be
held in Brooklyn on Thursday. In a
striking interview given in his Office
in the Union Trust Building, Balti-
more, yesterday Governor Crothers
declared his complete belief in the
sincerity of Arthur P. German, the
man, and expressed with an earnest
ness that carried conviction his entire
willingness to guarantee to the peo-
pie of Maryland that if elected Gov
ernor, German will carry out in both
the letter and the spirit every per-
sonal promise, as we'll as every plat
form pledge he has made since his
nomination.
81 know this man will make good,
said the Governor, rising from his
chair and banging his fist on the
desk, "and have enough confidence
in him to feel no hesitation in tell
ing the people of Maryland that they
will make no mistake in electing
German Governor. He is man.
"Some people in this State think l
have made a good Governor. Some
think have made a bad one All of
them are entitled to theiropinion. My
term is pretty nearly ended and
know have done sthe best l could.
And that is what believe German
will do.
Moreover, have come to believe
that German has it in him to be as
good Governor as this State ever
had. | have come to support him
with an enthusiasm and to desire his
election with an eagerness that a
month or so ago would not have SEEM
ed possible to me.
"What | know now-and what my
personal contact with and my personal
observation of German since the NOM
ination have shown me-is that he is
a man of character and stamina, who
cannot be swayed by any influence,
whether political or otherwise, to do
a thing which he believes to be
wrong. Germans defeat would set
the State back lamentably."
