CORMAN WILL
SWEEP STATE
Says Mr.. Frank FuTSt, Also Pre-
diets a Great Democratic
Victory in November

No man stands higher in the city Of
Baltimore than Mr.. Frank Furst. When
names are mentioned for the highest
honors in the State, it is always con-
ceded that Mr.. Furst can be Mayor of
Baltimore or Governor Of Maryland by
simply giving his consent, but he is not
politician nor DESTROYS for political
honors. He is simply the most success
full business man in the State, with
more influence in Baltimore than a
regiment of ordinary men. The Sun Of
Thursday contained the following inter-
view with Mr.. Furst
Frank A. Furst, who few weeks ago
declared in favor of Judge N. Charles
Burke for the Governorship, said last
night that since Judge Burke has with
drawn he was in favor of State Senator
Arthur P. German. Jr.
II think that Mr.. German is young
man in politics who has the greater part
of his career before him." said Mr..
Furst. "Mr. German has been in the
public service for a number of years
sufficient to fit him for the responsible
duties of the Governorship.
True. his record is not without mis-.
takes. but doubt if the records of any
of our constructive statesmen of Mary
land are without blemish of some sort.
| believe most sincerely that. if elected,
Mr.. German would give to the State an
administration that would be of indi-
vidual value to the people of Maryland,
and am tempted to say that ! could
guarantee this assertion.
81 also think the party is united behind
Senator German and that he will have
no difficulty in winning the primary.
feel that in the primary he will be given
the undivided support of the people.
am confident that the Democratic victory
this year will be greater one than for
some time past.

Three Candidates for
Governor

In the primaries which are to
be held on Tuesday. August
Goth the Democrats will have
at least three Gubernatorial
candidates in the field, in the
persons of State Senator Arthur
=. German, of Howard County;
Hon. Austin l.. Crothers, of
Cecil County; and State Sena-
tor Blair Lee, of Montgomery
County. Senator Lee was the
the first to announce his can
didacy, but it is believed that
he will receive fewer votes than
either of the three candidates.
The next announcement came
from Governor Crothers, who
made up his mind last Satur-
day to be candidate for re-
nomination. On Tuesday, after
consultation with Hon. John
Walter Smith, Senator Price, of
Wicomico, Mr.. Frank Furst.
of Baltimore, and other lead
ing Democrats, Senator Cor
man declared that he was a can
didate and since that time he
has issued a letter setting forth
his position. The Democratic
organization of the city and
State is behind his candidacy,
and leading politicians feel that
he will win out in the primary
and be the standard bearer of
the Democracy in the general
election.
All of the candidates will
tour the State, and the welkin
will ring with oratory. This is a
friendly contest, and the loser
in it will support with all the
vim he can command his sue
cessful opponent. Each real
ICES that the Democratic party
MUST WIN and WILL WIN
THE ELECTION. Each of
them is a good party man, who
has never sulked in his tent.
Senator German, who is the
present State Senator for How
ard County, is strong with his
people, and the old enemies of his
father in that county are with
his son, and have helped him to
win several contests in which
former Governor Warfield was
against him, as he now is.
Mr.. German is a lawyer by pro-
fession, but he gives most of his
time to farming. He is known
as an honest, straightforward
man, who does not know how
to trim. He speaks out with
out hesitation and his word is
considered sufficient to guaran-
tee the doing of the things that
he proclaims he will do.
Because the party organiza-
tion is back of Senior German
he is being attacked already by
the same papers which labeled
Governor Crothers when he
was nominated as the creature
of the bosses, the plant tool of
the organization, the pet of
the saloon interests, a small
bore country politician, ETC., all

Dangers of Dug Drilled Wells.

Tho United States Geological Survey
issues a warning against dug drilled
wells. The Water Supply Paper de-
lclares this kind Of wells very dan
sgerous: that typhoid fever is not an
uncommon result. Such information
as contained in the following should
be needed:
Almost any community in which
wells have been drilled can boast of n
number of combination dug and drilled
wells. The owners congratulate them
selves on their Wisdom in utilizing an
old dug well fifteen. twenty, or thirty
feet III depth, and drilling through the
bottom Of this to n good flow OF deep

twenty or thirty feet has been saved,

bined dug and drilled well is partie

breed maiarial fever or even typhoid
fever, which is more prevalent in the
country than even in the oyercrowded
cities, in spite of the supposed pure
water supply Of nearly all farming
sections. Such a well is all the more
dangerous because it is fancied to be

by the deep well may be perfectly

Either the casing should be carried to

should be converted into water tight
system by applying thick coating OF
cement over both sides and bottom.

Will Wilson Resign?

Persistent and indignant as have
been his deniaIs of any intention to re-
sign, just as persistent have been the
rnmors that Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson is TO remove himself from the
Presidents cabinet. Washington cor
respondents report the common belief
there that the possible resignation has
a basis of truth. 1t is well known
that, politically speaking, Mr.. Wilson's
strength with the farmer vote has
greatly deprecated in the past year.
His hold upon them was broken by
his position On reciprocity" and was
further torn away by the stand which
he assumed in the Wiley case. His
popularity in the West has been de-
pieted even more than in the East, and
at the present time it is doubtful If
Secretary Wilson exactly understands
his position with the administration.
OF course the reciprocity" case is
over with and a matter of history.
People soon forget and forgive But
the Wiley ease is just as important in
the public eye today as it has been at
any period since the food dopers be-
gan their campaign to drive the fa-

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY

Each was accompanied by a mill
