Brown For Governor.

lana. HIS campaign will be mad
as a harmonizer of the difference
that exist between Baltimore cit
and the counties of Maryland, whic
are not, he says, real difference
at all, and on a pledge to use ev
cry effort for the advancement o
the State
you can say that I will be
candidate declared the forme
Governor. MY name will be o.
the ballot to be voted in the PR
mary election.
4 have often said that 1 woult
be glad to serve the people for an
other term as Governor of Mary
land if a majority of the Democrat
desired me as the candidate of tn;
party. I had lost sight of the pr
mary election law which gives ev
cry Democratic voter an opportunit,
to say whom he does want.
with such law a man mus
present himself as a candidate, S,
that the people may have an oppor
tunity to say whether they do o.
do not want him. 1 shall, there
fore, have my name placed on thu
ballot.
Men interested in politics anc
personal friends are continually in
curing what l intend to do. 1t is
necessary that they should know
for in case 1 do not enter the fight
they would desire an opportunity tc
look about for some other candidate
1t is only fair to them that 1 should
state my Intention
This is final, Governor" he
was asked.
My mind is fully made up he

and your health?" was the next
question put to him.
''It is good" he replied. ''There
did have very bad attack, but
am now as well as l have ever
been"
"On what issue will you make the
fight?" he was asked.
Having once been Governor, The
said, Il know the business of the
State, and having been connected
with the administration of the city
for four years, 1 understand its af-
fairs. Much is said of the differ
ence between the counties of Mary
land and Baltimore city. Those diff
ferences are not real. They can
be harmonized. l can point the
way and help in the work. | can
aid the city, too, without hurting
the counties. In fact, their inter
ests are identical. What helps one
is sure to help the other.
Road building has been under
taken by the State. That is already
a big project and it promises to be
a still bigger one if the new loan
that is now referred to is to be au-
thorized by the Legislature. I am
a business man. The State needs
a man accustomed to handling mat
tiers of business to take that work
in hand and push it forward to a
successful conclusion. I feel the;
I can handle it in the way it ought
to be handled.
Baltimore has not had a Gov
ernor to serve out the full term
since SWANS time. Cove MOI
Whyte left the State House to &c
to the Federal Senate and Robert
NJ. McLane was appointed Minister
to England after he had served on
ly two years of his term. The East
ern Shore has had ever so many
Governors and the counties on the
Western Shore have had their share
This is Baltimore city's turn"

G. Hayes as Mayor OF Baltimore city

campaign for the nomination and
election of Mayor Mahool, who
named him Tax Collector, a posi-
