The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1911-09-15

OF Baltimore City, for Attorney Oenerai.
The action of the convention was in fact
only formal ratification Of the nomina-
tons made by the people by their votes
at the recent primary election. This
ticket, thus nominated. is an expression
OF the will of a majority of the Demo-
cratic voters at the primary election, and
as such i, is before the people for cleo
ton on the 9TH of November next.
Hon. Arthur P. German, Jr., the can
didate for Governor, is a citizen OF
Howard county, and resides at Laurel.
He is now a member Of the State
Senate.
He was elected from Howard county
to the State Senate eight years ago,
and has therefore served in the Senate
two terms. During his two terms in
the Senate he has become widely and
favorably known all over the State.
He was the leader of the Democratic
majority for six years. and the last two
years he was the President ofthe Senate.
As a leader he made a high reputation
as man and as an able Senator. As
presiding officer of the Senate he meas
ured up to the highest standards OF the
Maryland Senate.
He is thirty-nine years Of age, and IS
the son of the late distinguished United
States Senator. Arthur Pue German.
He has had in the last eight years an
extended experience in public affairs,
and has discharged his public duties
with efficiency and ability
Besides this. it is also safe to assume
that he has profited very largely from the
lessons and experience of his late dlstin-
guished father. and that he will follow in
his footsteps and adopt his principles
and policies.
His father represented Howard county
in the State Senate and went from there
to the United States Senate, and the son
now goes from the State Senate to take
the nomination for Governor of the
State The late Senator German was
the leader of the Democratic party of
Maryland from 1873 until his death in
1906, and made hosts of friends in and
out of the party, who will be a tremen-
dous force in the support and election Of
his son. the Democratic candidate for
Governor. OF course, every Democrat
must do his duty by the ticket and by
his party, but we think that there is not
the slightest doubt of the election Of the
ticket.
