WANTS ARE VARIED
District Property Clerk Has
Big Job Ahead of Him.
MANY ITEMS ON HIS LIST
Task Would Be More Simple if Folks
Would Only Agree in
Their Ideas.

Every District employee who has an au-
tomobile In official use has a different
idea about what sort Of oil the District
ought to furnish for that horseless ve-
hicle. also an individual opinion about
the kind Of polish that should be pur-
chased to keep the brass shining nicely.
That slight difference of opinion mag
nifed several thousand times is simply a
part Of the tremendous job which has
started today in the department under
Marion Hargrove. property clerk. The
clerks are starting in to schedule the
lists of the hundreds Of thousands of
things which the District will go shop
ping for in March.
Many to Be Consulted.
Every head Of department has to be
consulted. every institution sends in in
dividual ideas about fypaper. drinking
glasses. cotton batting, plumbing sup
plies. headache pills. fire engine tires
and what not-so many different ideas
and SO many different requests that it
would seem there are not enough stores
in the world to sell the stuff that the
District Of Columbia wants.
For instance. Marion Hargrove buys q
clam season. and he has the clam bust
ness down so fine that his clans have to
be Do to the gallon. There's a point for
young housewives. Count your clans.
He buys 10000 pounds of breakfast bacon
of three different kinds, and every in
stitution that has breakfast sends in a
different idea about the size of the slices.
The young housewife could learn a lot
by scanning the directions for cutting
the beef that is bought in tons.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JULY rs, 1871
III Is NOW UP TO THE PEOPLE.

For some time past there has been
a feeling among the people, almost
amounting to discomfort, owing to
the belief that they were not sufici-
emily represented in the selection of
candidates for public office; that there
has been too much Bossism, and that the
convention method Of nominating
gave the Bosses an opportunity to put
the masses of the party.
In response to this feeling, which
finally amounted to a demand, the
legislature of Maryland passed Pri-
mary Election Law. This Act of the
General Assembly, puts the whole
matter of selecting candidates, by the
political parties, in the hands Of and
under the direct control Of the people.
The political campaign upon which
we are now entering, Is the first in
which this law becomes operative, and
it is now up to the people to see that
this law, passed i'm their behalf and
at their instance, Is carried out in
it's true spirit.
1t remains to be seen, by the man
ner in which the people exercise their
rights under this law, in the conduct
Of the coming Primaries, whether
their interests are better served by
the present than by the former meth
cd of making nominations.
1t may be better method in large
cities to have nominations made I'M
der the Direct Primary System, but
it il a question whether it is needful
or better in the counties.
There never has been, so far as we
know, any reason, in this county, to
charge either party with unfairness or
improper influence in the selection OF
party candidates. While we believe
there is no substantial reason in the
counties to change from the conven-
ton systems to that OF the Direct
Primary, we would not utter a word
against the plan that is now being
used
We believe i'm the honesty and pat
riotism of the great masses Of the
people. This is a government of the
people and by the people, and they
ought to be 80 interested in it that
they will select the best candidates to
represent them in public Office. But
will they do it? They now have the
opportunity, and it will depend upon
how they discharge their duty i'm this
Primary, as to whether the wisdom Of
passing such a law, is indicated or
not. 1t is now up to the people.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1911-07-28
and still ID, " source of deep sorrow.

and still is, d source Oh deep sorrow.
While 1t il true that no great harm
is likely to befa1I the county by the
changes thus made, defeat ID destruc-
tive to party organization, and leaves
a party In bad plight to wage a sue
cessful campaign IN which party
principles are actually involved.
The Presidential election is but one
year of, paeans of Democratic victory
are already on the air, from no quar-
ter comes a discordant note, except
from the hitherto rock ribbed Demo-
cratic county of Carroll.
The contest this fall Ii only the
skrmish, preceding the great battle
OF 1912. 1t affords us a most excel
lent opportunity to reorganize our
scattered forces,to solidify our ranks,
so that we may march in solid
phalanx with the Democratic hosts
OF the Union, and do our full share in
the restoration of our party to FEEDER
al control, and the perpetuity of
Democratic Government.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1911-07-28
TIMELY WORD FOR DEMO.
Gratis,

1t will profit us nothing to review
the causes which have brought about
the demoralized condition of the Dem
ocratic party in Carroll county, for
whatever they were, they will not, and
cannot obtain under our existing pri-
mary election law. No one can now
benominated for any officein the county
unless he first receives the votes of
majority Of his party associates The
choice when thus made will be that Of
the party, and not of any boss or die
tator.
No one who participates in a pri-
mary SO held can find the slightest
justification for refusing to uncom-
plainingly abide by the result, wheth-
er it may be as he would have it, or
not "Acquiescence i'm the will of
the majority is as essential to-day
to party organization and success, as
it was when first promulgated by that
apostle Of Democracy, Thomas Jeffer-
son. This is SO obvious as to need no
argument for its support.
But with all the defects in our pri-
mary system for selecting candidates
removed, we cannot succeed without
organization, let us have it then in
each district and voting precinct in
our county, SO that all may be in
formed a. to the merits and qualifi-
cations of the many aspirants for
places to be filled at the ensuing cleo
ton, and each district, as far as pos
sible, represented upon the ticket
I'm this way only can we effect the
nomination of the best men, and in
this way only can we secure their cleo
ton after they are nominated. Let
u confer among ourselves and seek
the advice. counsel, and cooperation
of the wisest among us, SO that we
may act as a unit, and not fritter
away our strength, which We will do,
ii we are hopelessly divided
1t is not a mark of servility or in
competence to consult with and be
advised by those, who are better in
formed upon any question, in the So
luton Of which we are vitality inter
ested.
Where there are personal griev-
ances they must BE- laid aside, where
there are bitter antagonisms they
must be forgotten, envy and jealousy
must be overcome, and all other OBJ
stacles to party harmony removed
Refusal upon the part Of many Of
us to make these sacrifices, if they
can be so called, has given the Republi-
can party the best Offices ia the county
and they will increase their holdings
unless we stifie these baser passions
of our nature. The result may have
been momentarily gratifying to those
who are vindictively inclined, but to tht
Democrat who loves the principles
for which his party stands, it was
