the State candidates, and Senator Lee,
Governor Crothers and other promi-

Democrats present, the campaign of
the Democratic party will close in this
city tonight. The occasion will be

praised Republican candidates who
were nominated not in a popular pri-
mary, but by an arrangement and
agreement of time sort between such
party leaders as Collector "Bill"
Stone, of Baltimore, and Congressman
''Bill' Jackson and his son, young
"Will," will be fired by the Demo
Gratis.
The meeting will be opned by DR..
George Wells, chairman of the Demo

The Naval Academy band stationed in
the gallery of sthe Court Room, will
furnish music during the intermis-

Democracy began to take heart.

what are the political forces back of
Mr. Goldsborough and the knowledge
that his sponsors are "Uncle Bill"
and young Bill" Jackson and his
campaign manager "Bill" Ste Wart
has been pretty we'll driven home.
This has served to make Mr.. Colds
borough's professions of reform and
his frantic appeals for independent
support ook little ridiculous.
On the eve of the election Anne
Arundel county is in better trim "to
roll up a comfortable Democratic ma

united in this campaign.
There is but one discordant situa-

that is the fight which James P. Ban

is waging in the interest of William
E. Cecil, Democrat, who is in the
fight as ami Independent candidate for
Sheriff. He is after the scalp Of
