ARUNDEL ELECTS MAYOR.
Township Commissioners Reappoint
Thomas W. Smith Presiding Officer
Of The Colony AT Arundel Busi-
ness Meeting To Amend Charter.

A business meeting of some length,
at which there was much discussion,
was held Saturday night at the Con-
cord Cottage at Arundel-on-the-Ba
1t was the first business meeting
of the newly elected commissioners.
The chief matter of Importance to
be considered at the first meeting af-
ter an election at the township, is
the appointment of Mayor. This
matter was taken up and Mr.. Thomas
Wilson Smith was reelected, the
vote being unanimous. Mr.. j. C..
Courts was elected secretary, of the
township, an office corresponding to
"city clerk, and Mr.. Amos Med
ford, treasurer, an office correspond
ing to "city treasurer and collector. :"
The matter of bailiff was taken
under, advisement and the question of
re-appointment of Bailiff Tyler was
referred to committee to be report
ed upon to the presiding officer at a
meeting two weeks hence.
Mr.. M. l. Weller, one of the two
newly elected commissioners of Arun-
del, discussed the practicability of a
vice-mayor, to act for the Mayor in
his absence. AS no article in the
charter could be found giving the
right of appointment to such an off
Ger, or creating the office, no action
was taken.
Several committees were appointed.
One, a committee to study the ques-
tion of trees, and to report on cutting
down underbrush and trees for sani-
tary reasons, was composed of the fol-
lowing commissioners: Messrs. A.
L. Bosley, A. NJ. Medford and E. C.
Graham, who are to report at the next
meeting of the commissioners.
An effort was made to empower each
commissioner in the absence of the
Mayor to call attention to emergency
repairs and needs of the township.
The matter of amending the charter
and Articles of Incorporation OF
Arundel-on.the-Bay by an Act of the
next Legislature was discussed al
length upon the question of the right
of franchise. As it is now, anyone
male or female, over twenty-one year:
having an interest in real estate" al
Arundel is allowed the right of fran.
chise. This is of too broad scope, anC
would permit all members of a clut
owning one clubhouse to vote at elec
tions, giving Is or 20 or more the
privilege of franchise, when it is in
tended that only one owner of a giver
piece of property should have the priv
ilege of voting.
A committee of the Commissioner.
will endeavor to have the charter
amended, accordingly. Other matteri
pertaining to the government of the
township We're discussed and the meet.

BELLS is THE MAN"
Annapolis Business Man Picked
AS The Best And Most Avail
able Senatorial Candidate.
IS WHAT HIS FRIENDS SAY.
Governor CrOthers 1t Is Understood
Will Recall Announcement Candi-
dacv.

In Anne Arundel the local situation
continues TO center around of the
Democratic candidate for the Senate.
and while there have been scattered
endorsements of other Richmonds who
are in the field. The sentiment among
those who do not express their views
in print, but who are steady, sensible
thinking men who will vote according
to their convictions is steady crystal
izing in favor of Joseph H. Bells, "
leading local Democrat today.
Mr.. Bells, while his friends are
not endorsing him in the press. is
steadily gaining favor and that he
will carry the Democratic primaries
and be the party nominee, seems now
an assured thing. His candidcy is
popular one, not only in Annapolis.
but in the rural districts and precincts
of the county and his supporters are
steadily growing in numbers, and i'm
their determination to back him with
their ballots, continued the politi-
clan.
That Governor Crothers intends to
announce publicly tonight his with
drawal from the race for the nomina-
tion by the Democratic primary, as his
own successor, when he meets friends
in an informal reception at the Execu-
tive Mansion, is practically conceded
today. The reception will be held at
the Executive Mansion. Whether the
Governor will make any intimation
as to which of the other candidates
for the nomination, Senators German
or Lee, he favors, remains to be seen.
but it is thought that while he may
prefer to see his friends throw their
support to Senator Lee, he will not
make any public statement to this
effect
The Governor announced his candi-
dacy for the nomination a week or
two ago, and since that time he has
been feeling out the sentiment, but
has done no active campaigning.
However, the reports of his chances
of carrying the nomination in the
State Convention are understood not
to have been encouraging and hence
the understanding of his determine
tion to withdraw

A WISE ADMINISTRATION.
Philadelphia Record Comes Out For
Crothers.

The voters of Maryland did not
make any mistake four years ago
when they elected Austin l.. Crothers
to the Governorship. The proof of
the pudding is in the eating. He has
vindicated the wisdom of his selection
by wise administration.
We note with great pleasure that
after some hesitancy. Mr.. Crothers
has announced himself candidate for
reelection. The Baltimore Sun
briefly summarizes the announced poll
cles in the management of State af-
fairs 20 which the Governor stands
committed. CHere follows a sum
mary of his platform) AS The Rec
ord has thousands of readers in Mary
land and was strongly urgent in advo-
eating the candidacy of Governor
Crothers four years ago, il will not be
deemed intrusive if il makes second
appeal for him. He has snow served
an apprenticeship in executive direc-
tion and has obtained thereby a more
thorough insight not only as 20 mat
ters of public concern, which is the
main thing, but as TO all the twists
and turns of political leadership which
have so much to do with the financial
accomplishment of good government.
Taken altogether no candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
Maryland Governorship will be able
to place himself on better platform
than the Crothers platform. What
he has done is the best security for
what he engages to do in the future
if again elected Editorial in Phila-
