The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1911-10-13

primary recently held in this city was
not Democratic primary, but q pr
mary at which both Democratic and
Republican candidates were nomi-
mated, and in the honest result in
which both Democrats and Republi-
cans and in fact all citizens are deep
Iy interested. Candidates of both par
ties as we'll a. citizens are demand
ing that the stigma resting upon their
nominations shall be removed"
Hon George KONG, the member Of
Congress from Baltimore city, who Is
fighter from way back and laboring
man himself and a most successful
politician, says that while he cannot
explain some OF these seeming irregu-
larities i'm the Baltimore primary cleo
ton, that by taking his hand you can
not detect any nervousness, and that
I'm his judgment Mr.. German will be
elected by a larger majority than if
the exposures had not been made"
OF course everyone knows who has
seen him that Mr. German il one Of
the handsomest and most manly look
ing men 10 the State, with strongly de-
fined, intelligent features, and II ne
had have chosen the stage as pro
been the champion matinee idop' OF
the girls, and the shrewd business
candymakers of this city have caught
on to the idea of reproducing his fig
ure i'm CONNECTIONS, and it is needless
to add that the ladies of the State are
going wild over these, and are claim
ing that he is the sweetest thing"
that was ever put il bon-bon shape.
While Of course the Democrats and
Republicans, to say nothing Of our
Socialistic friends, will all be "agin"
each other in politics until election
day, with great unanimity they agree
with the Bentztown Bard in the Sun OF
September goth when he says:
/ like the simple country maids,
Their rosy cheeks and eyes,
And deeper still perhaps their skill
For baking pumpkin pies
The first guns of the Democratic
campaign were fired effectively at
Rockville in Montgomery county last
week. This Is the Hon. Blair Lees
home county and he presided at the
meeting. More than 100 enthusiastic
Democrats, the flower OF the county,
attended this meeting. Speeches were
made I'm addition to Mr.. Lees by Can
didates German, Harrington and Poe,
and everything they said was received
with many hurrahs by the audience.
One delightful feature of this meeting
was to see on the rostrum advocating
Mr. Germans election the Little
Miner King" of Western Maryland, the
Hon David J. Lewis, the member Of
Congress from the Sixth district,
which district has for many years
been In the Republican column, but
carried over TO the Democratic side
in the last Congressional election by
the strenuous and intelligent work or
MIR. Lewis.
After considering the matter for
more than three days Governor Croth-
ers late Friday afternoon decided not
to call a special session of the Legis-
lature to recount the Baltimore city
ballots Of the recent primary election,
as he had been requested to do, pro-
v1ded the Grand Jury having this mat
ter in hand would assure him of due
diligence in finishing the count. It Is
understood this assurance was given
with time limit OF eight days. IL the
count IL not finished within that time
it il likely the Governor will take
prompt action for calling the members
of the Legislature together.
The Governors action, after con-
sultation with the Democratic lead
ers present, was entirely satisfactory
to them.
