Lexington Dispatch.
Asvaledictory addresss bythe
Underwood campaign managers
was made Saturday in . state
ment by Senator Bankhead, who
was Mr.. Underwood's leading
manager. Senator Bankhead de-
clared it would have been acrime
to have nominated Mr. Under.
wood for the vice presidency In
stead of leaving him 10 the house
where "the success oi Governor
Wilson's administration wilt
largely depend upon Mr.. Under-
woods leadership.
The statement says:
"Mr. Underwood has no re-
grets and feels no resentment.
His great heart IL undisturbed
by the result at Baltimore. Tho
his desire was to be nominated,
he ieels that under his leadership
a great victory has been Won.
But his fondest hope, however.
in event he could not win, vas
that his candidacy would, forev-
er eliminate from the hearts Of
all men whatever of sectional
feeling there remained; that the
Mason and Dixon line might be
obliterated and the south restor-
ed to it's rightful place in the po-
litical councils OF the nation. He
feels that his friends have inau-
rated such q movement that will
bring about good fellowship and
that the south has demonstrs-
ted it's patriotic intentions Mr..
Underwood is entirely contented
with the results and will contin-
ne to devote his great abilities
and qualities OF leadership to the
duty of the position be holds a.
leader Of the nstional democra-
cy.
"The success OF Governor vi
sons administration will largely
depend upon MIR. Underwood's
leadership in the house and it
would have been q crime to have
transferred him from that imper
tant position to the vice presi-
dency, although he does not un-
derestlmate the great hon0rthat
would have been conferred upon
him by being placed on the tick
ct with Governor W Wilson.
"He sincerely thanks his friends
and deeply appreciates the loyal
support they gave him. He a.
waits orders and will follow Gov
ernor Wilson into.the thickest of
the fight, and expectsa a sweeping
victory in November"

BY the timely discovery of sawed bar
in the Jail, Sheriff Charles 7. Pagan pre-
vented Jail delivery at the Frederick
county jail One of the bars in the north
window of the lower floor of the Jail had
been sawed through with the exception
of very small portion, and another night
would have given the persons implicated
in the affair, their liberty. The saving
was always neatly covered with soap and
some sort of a black mixture which made
the sawed portion look like any other
of the iron grating over the window.
The tip that an attempt was being
made was given Judge Motter by three
foreigners who had been arrested sever
al days before at Brunswick for riding
freight trains.
Sheriff Pagan placed in the cages, I'M
der lock, Harry Grove, Charles Tressler
and Harry Jones, who he feels sure were
the ones implicated in the attempted de-
livery.

On Sunday last gentleman riding a
motorcycle passed through this place en-
route to the State Sanatorium via En-
mitsburg. While along the road in the
vicinity of Mt. ST. Mary's he looked at
some boys who were on the fence and
had said something to him, and almost
in an instant he found himself headed
for stone pile on the bank Of ditch
alongside of the road. He was too close
and going at too great speed to save
himself he prepared for the worst. He
was thrown some distance across the
ditch, one of his legs badly cut and in
jured more or less about the body. The
motorcycle was demolished. Some one
in the vicinity brought him to Thurmont
