Baltimore to become a candidate for the
submit my name for that Office 10 the
voters of the Republican party in the
Statewide primary 10 be held on Au-
gust 29, 1911.
Hereafter, l shall give full and ue-
tailed expression 10 the ideas and prin-
ciples which. in my opinion, confront
the voters of this State"
In these words, Collector of Internal
Revenue, Phillips Lee Goldsborough, an
nounces his candidacy for the Republi-
can Gubernatorial nomination. AS the
time for fling the proper papers, prior
to the primary will expire on TUESDAY
next, It looks as If Mr.. Goldsborougn
would be the only Republican aspiralt.
In that event II will not be necessary
for any name to appear on the Repub-
lican primary ballot for the gubernator-
ial nomination. Mr.. Goldsborough will
only have to file his name, with the en-.
trance money called for, with the Elec-
tion Supervisors, and the Secretary OF
State will certify to his candidacy. This
will be a quite new and unique way Of
nominating a Governor, in this or any
other State, and will doubtless call forth
some interesting reflections on the ad-
vantages Of the new primary act over
the convention system In getting at an
expression of the popular will.

None of the surrounding States mas ~

Delaware are represented than in any
other State. The college faculty that
the article criticlses came here todi

equipment for tessfing agriculture. At
the present time there are seventeen
students in the department, a greater
gain than any other college In the coun-
try has shown. The present equipment
is excelled by few colleges and they are
in the North and Middle West. The trus-
