The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1911-09-22
MR. GORMAN AS SEEN BY HIS
FRIENDS.

The following editorial IL from the
Ellicott City Times and will doubt
less prove OF interest 70 Carroll
county Democrats.
Now that Mr.. German mas receiv-
ed the nomination OF bis PARTY
through its State Convention for the
Gubernatorial Office, OF course II I'D
expected that every person 10 the
State who desires u continuance OF
the beneflcent Democratic govern
ment In Maryland Will enlist prompt
" urder his banner. We have been
somewhat surprised To know that
not a few OF the good people OF the
State do not know exactly the kind
OF u man Mr.. German iS, and they
were lead to make An estimate OF
HIN from a rumor started, not by
Mr.. Lee personally, but by some OF
those opposing him during the prim-
ary campaign, that he, MIR. German
was nothing but machine made poll
tfcian. Nothing is further from the
facts. II is true Mr. German aD-
sorbed a great deal Of his political
saRacity at the knees Of his late dis
tinguished father, United States Sen
ator, the Senior Arthur p. German,
but the present candidate has learned
a great deal more by political re-
search and personal experiences, ana
while he has been active in politics,
to the advantage OF the State, IL mas
been entirely without anything ike
nroper compensation for the valuable
time be has given 70 State matters.
He has been and is busy lawyer,
not I'm Court to shoot or oratory but
In attending to the legal affairs OF
number OF prominent business con
Germs. He ia a large investor In IN
dustrial enterprises In the State and
al such IL large contributor 70 the
States taxes. He is q large land
owner. and makes his farms pay az
y practical farmer who gives great
deal OF time and close personal at
tention to the workings OF his lands,
saving and marketing OF his crops,
and while reported to have been born
with a SILVER spoon in his mouth,
n In not an unusual thing TO see MIN
driving his reapers and mowers, and
pitching his hay and assisting IN
housing his corn. There is no man
To- Howard county more kindly
thought of by his agricultural neigh
bors, rich and poor, and better than
ali. he is an unassuming courteous
gentleman, slow OF speech, really
diffident, very thoughtful, but quick
to act. II he has one trait more
prominent than any other Il 1s ms
Difference and respect for older peo-
Me. never showing forward his opln-
ion against those Of older persons,
considering well their advice and
gaining much by their experience.
And he was an ideal son, devoted to
his parents, and is understood to at
50 be an ideal husband to his charm
ing wife. showing all the strong DO
nestle tastes of his distinguished
father. Indeed We think Mr.. Cor
man Il, a remarkable man, thrown as
NJ was into the political arena, al
most at the time he shed his sWad,
ding clothes, he has kept an equal
poise and clear head, even peyona
those far greater in years. he Will
make an ideal governor, or proper
age. without financial cares, Of pollt-
cal and legislative experience, ana
with the call from higher up" a.
WAYS before him as a double incen-
tive for right doing. Mrs. German
viii make O most charming and hos
pitable mistress Of the Executive
Mansion. What more can we ask
