Kilby. state sen ator, and has passed the senate, pro- viding government for cities under 25,00d inhabitants, is meeting with opposition, and a petition which is being circu- lated is signed by a large number of citizens
 The opposition is based on the allega- tion that the innovation tends to cen tralize too much power in the hands of a few men. Under the aldermanic form of government, it is said, every section of the city is equally represented, but that under the commission plan the power would be vested in the three commis- sioners, who would be liable to show partiality to the sections from which they came.
 Despite this opposition, however, Sen ator Kilby and friends of the commis- sion government feel confident that the measure will be adopted in this city.

Fleeing Couple Caught.

After pursuit half way across the
county in his automobile last Friday,
Sheriff Welt overlook Mrs. Emma johnson,
wife of James W. johnson. a farmer of
Clarksburg district, and William Oden, a
neighbor of the Johnsons, driving together
in a buggy toward Sykesville, where train
could be taken to Baltimore. Mrs. John
son, who is SO years old, has returned to
her husband and five children. Oden, who
is rs years old, was sent back to his wife
and two children.
The chase had its beginning in Rockville
Friday morning, when Johnson appeared at
the Office of Sheriff Welt with an appeal
for aid. He was working in the field,
johnson said, when one of his children
ran out to him, crying that Mamma has
run away with Mr.. 0den.'
The sheriff automobile was waiting,
and with johnson by his side, he took up
the chase in earnest At Gaithersburg they
learned that the couple had started in the
direction of Laytonsville. Reaching that
point, few inquiries sent the pursuers
toward Sunshine. At Sunshine it was
learned that Oden and Mrs. johnson were
not more than an hour ahead and on their
way toward Sykesvile
Within half an hour the buggy was
sighted, and it was the work of a moment
to send the machine abreast of the horse
drawn vehicle. the two stopping side by
side in the road. At the sight of her husband
and the sheriff Mrs. Johnson broke down.
Not much persuasion was necessary to get
her to climb into the automobile.
Evidently fearing harm from Mr.. John
son, 0den was readyt to make dash across
the fields to safety. but the husbands only
move was to verbally express his grief,
saying to Oden: Il don't understand how
you could have done such thing after the
way have been a friend to you"
Upon promising to return TO Rockville
and to his wife and family, Oden was al
lowed to 60.

The Constitution And Judicial
Terms.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The term of Office for which Judge James
Alfred Pearce was elected to the bench in
the Second Judicial Circuit will expire in
November Of next year The question has
been raised by one of the newspapers pub
lished in the circuit whether Judge Pearce's
successor should be elected at the Con-
gressional election next year or whether
the election should be deferred to the gen
eral election of 1913. the Governor appoint
ing for the interim. The terms of the
Constitution leave the matter in some I'M
certainty.
1t will be remembered that the first cleo
ton of judges under the present COnstitu-
ton took place in November. 1867, in the
counties and in October, 1867. in the city.
The term was for fifteen years, and il was
provided that the election Of the judges
should be made at the general or State
election. But as the terms Of the judges
were drawing near to their close, the fact
that they would end in 1882. the year Of
the Congressional and not the State cleo
ton. attracted the attention of the Gen
eral Assembly. Therefore, in the year 1880
an enabling act for the amendment of the
Constitution was passed and ratified by
the people in 1881. This amendment pro-
vided that after the first election Of judges
under the Constitution Of 1867 there shall
be held in every fifteenth year thereafter
an election for judges In case of death.
resignation. removal or disqualification by
reason Of age or otherwise Of any judge.
the Governor shall appoint a person duly
qualified to fill said office, who shall hold
the same until the next general election for
members Of the General Assembly
and upon the expiration Of the term Of fif-
teen years for which any judge may be
elected 10 I'LL Dacancy an election for his
successor shall take place at the next gen
eral election and the Governor
shall appoint a person duly qualified to
hold said office from the expiration Of such
term Of fifteen years until the election and
qualification Of his successor"
Under this amended section Of Article
4 an election Of judges was held through
out the State in 1882 when the terms Of
the judges elected in 1867 ended The
second period Of fifteen years terminated
in 1897, the year Of u general or State
election. The third period Of fifteen years
will end In 1912. the year Of a Congress
siOnal election. The question is whether
the clause requiring an election Of judges
at the end Of each term Of fifteen years
counting from 1867 shall be observed. or
whether the Governor is to appoint a judge
10 serve until the State election Of 1918.
The terms Of three judges will expire in
1912 who were not elected to fill. va
cancy"-namely. Judges Pearce, Of the
Second Circuit Motter, Of the Sixth, and
Sharp, Of the Eighth.

Advocates Senator Blair Lee For
Governor.

The following letter, written in advocacy
of Senator Lee, of this county, is taken
from the Baltimore Sun:
Messrs, Editors Il am not a politician
nor am very much interested in the per-
sonal success of certain politicians in my
State, nor am given to indulge in news
paper comment about those who usually
aspire to public Office. 1t is, however.
rare pleasure to see man of Blair Lees
worth an aspirant to the highest office in
my State. have known Senator Lee for
some years and appreciated his manhood
and high position in politics. He has not
been follower of ideas or a time-server
of men or policies merely to secure political
success. He is loyal Democrat in the
sense that he stands for and works for the
best interests of his people, and his public
record speaks eloquently of consistent labor
for the material advancement of his county
and State. which is the very best service
that can be rendered to his party. One
of the strongest attributes of Senator Lee
is that he loves to counsel with others so
as to arrive at what may be the wise de-
cision of all matters, and in this he shows
the cardinal trait of good leader and a
safe, valuable public officer.
am but expressing the views of the
most substantial people of Prince Georges
county when say that Blair Lee is
our choice for the nomination as Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Maryland.
Looking at the situation from a party
standpoint | know of no better selection
to harmonic the differences in our party
ranks; no stronger man to strengthen the
Democratic position in each county of the
State, and, if nominated, no man whose
election will be more certain. believe it
to be duty to our party and in the interest
of our State to forget all narrow, personal
and merely partisan views in connection
with the selection of our candidate for
Governor, and likewise believe that the
best interests of my State cannot be better
subserved than by the nomination and
election of Blair Lee.
