To The Voters of The First
Judicial Circuit.
SALISBURY, Nd, July 10. 1911.

SALISBURY, MD, July ~, 1911.
Tradition and custom precludes
Judge in Maryland from an active par
ticipation in political affairs. even when
he may be candidate for the SURFACES
of the voters in his Circuit. Under the
circumstances surrounding the primary
and general election for my successor
and the reasons and arguments that
have been produced against my election
| trust the public will pardon digres-
sion to some extent from the time hon
ored custom in brief way through the
newspapers.
On April 9th, 1910. the Governor of
Maryland, on the recommendation of
the late Judge Holland. who had been
retired, and members of the Bar in the
Circuit, hattered me by the appointment
of Associate Judge of the First Judicial
Circuit, when. at the same time, there
were aspirants of the highest character
and legal learning for the Judicial honor.
At that time was little over sixty
one years Of age, having been born
December 3rd, ls4s. My services on
the bench since then for a period of
fifteen months and the manner they
have been performed is a fair subject
for criticism and comment by the peo-
pie of. the Circuit and is left to their
own consideration and conclusion in view
lr.f hatr fn tr.
therefore trust for favorable verdict,
knowing the determination is in the
hands of the voters.
In conclusion, desire to say to the
voters and people of the Circuit. that if
nominated and elected will endeavor
to perform the honorable and arduous
duties of a Circuit Judge to the best of
my ability, with zeal and impartiality,
until arriving at seventy years of age.
the time for retirement as prescribed by
the Constitution of this State. a period
of over seven years from this time and
when the date arrives no extention of
time by the Legislature will be applied
for and under no circumstances will an
extension be accepted.
In this connection desire further to
state that under the Law granting PEN
sions to Judges. Chapter 236, Acts of
1904, | will be precluded from receiving
a pension, by not being able to serve
for ten proceeding, consecutive years
before attaining the age Of seventy
years, and desire to state most EN-
phatically that no provision of the Legis-
lature extending my term or giving me
pension will be either applied for or
accepted by me under any condition.
The statements herein made are con-
sidered due to the public and the voters
in the Circuit in view of the efforts
which have been made to befog and mis-
represent the facts true statement of
which they are entitled to. The verdict
is left with the voters and will be ac-
cepted with the resignation that Law
yers in long practice are accustomed. If
the verdict is adverse my thanks will be
extended TO those who gave me favor
able support and ! will endeavor to gather
together the threads of lost and dissi-
pated legal practice. have, however,
great confidence in the fairness and JUS
tice of the people of the First Judicial
Circuit to give my candidacy fair treat
ment and thoughtful consideration.
beg leave TO remain,
Respectfully,
Z. STANLEY T0ADVlN.

Fires at Snow Hill.

Two fires disturbed the Sunday quiet
of Snow-H Hill. The first occurred about
two o'clock in the morning in the store
q house occupied by Mrs. John Shortt as
~ millinery store. The fire was discov-
cred by Walter c. Turner, who occupied
apartments over the store. Mr.. Turner
retired early Saturday night. but was
=, awakened about two O'Clock by smoke.
ple The smoke was so thick he found the
Moor with difficulty. Mr.. Turner is an
In ex-city councilman and member of the
nnpire company. so he alone gave the alarm
which is always sounded from the pump
ng station, removed the hose cart from
phe municipal building. and by the time
geslhe first volunteer fireman began to ar
andive the apparatus was ready to attach
ca % the plugs and the water pressure
6 ready to be placed upon the mains.
That Mr.. Turner awoke as early as he
:. did no doubt saved his life. for the fire
! made such Roadway that the floor be-
. meath his room was badly burned, and
!. before it was extinguished broke into
= the second floor. adjoining his room.
= His GOODNESS and promptness in getting
:, out the fire apparatus and giving the
g alarm also saved considerable property.
The storehouse in which Mrs. Shortt is
located, adjoins the Masonic Hall, and
e is located in the midst of the business

ID BILE, principally from smoke and water.
it The second fire was in the residence
m Of Joshua B. Hickman, Sr.. on Purnel
:. Street. Mr.. Hickman was alone in the
" house, his family being away on vaca-
7, ton, and 1t was with great difficulty that
e he was rescued from the building by
q passersby, who had discovered the fire.
When discovered, the fire had burned
the stairs to the second floor. and it was
difficult to rescue Mr. Hickman, who
had not been awakened by friends. Real
izing the peril in which the sleeper was
placed. they made kind of human
ladder to the second floor and pulled the
J. man to the window and then lifted him
r out to the ground. He did not seem to
"A be thoroughly awake. even after the
:. rough handling. Mr.. Hickman desires
y to thank everybody for their assistance.
