a further expedition of troops will

SEN. CORMAN
GIVES VIEWS
Statement Made By Democratic
Candidate For Governor

Hon. Arthur p. German, president Of
the State Senate and candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
has issued statement defining his po-
sition on questions of statewide impor-
tance. The statement is an open and
frank expression in which the candidate
does not seek TO evade any question.
He leaves to the State convention the
final duty of forming his party's plat
form. He declares for direct primaries,
for good roads to be built by the State.
for an economical administration Of the
State government; for reduction of
tax rates, so that those who are unjustly
taxed will be relieved. for the making
of the platform of the party by the
delegates to the State convention, and
for the candidates to stand for what the
people want.
He says. ''In the past have always
advocated the carrying out and the full
filment of the pledges which our party
has made to the people, and If elected
governor shall use my best efforts and
endeavors for the fulflment Of the
pledges which our party shall make at
the comming Democratic convention.
1t may not be amiss, however, for me
to refer to some matters for which |
have stood throughout my public career.
together with statement of my ideas
upon some of the questions which are
now paramount in the peoples thoughts.
During my public service as State
Senator | have had only one end in
view-the good of the State, her people
and the Democratic party. for | am a
party man. believing as | do it is the
party best calculated to govern this
country, and that its teachings, when
properly understood, make us lbetter
citizens, and during that time every
measure advocated or opposed. and
every vote recorded has been, as saw
it. in the interest of the people. At
times have differed from some of my
associates as to matters of public policy
and party expediency, but no man, in or
out of the party. will. believe. accuse
me of acting otherwise than in good
faith with the people of Maryland and
in accordance with what conceived to
be my duty.
Parties are instruments of govern
ment, and the more virile and aggres-
sive the parties and more responsive to
public will and welfare, the better will
be the government under which we
live.
