Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1912-11-08
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS


AS the SENTINEL goes to press, a great
wave OF enthusiasm is shaking the country
from ocean to ocean by reason of the cleo
ton by an unprecedented majority of the
electors whose duty it will be to choose
Woodrow Wilson for President and Thomas
r. Marshall for Vce-P President of the United
States.
All six of the Maryland Democratic nomi-
nees for Congress were elected, and Judge
Worthington was elected judge of this cir
cult, composed of Frederick and Monteom-
cry counties.
The results in Montgomery county are
especially gratifying. The high-water mark
for President, set in the Cleveland election
OF 1892, OF Sl6 majority, has been exceeded
by 1853, Wilson and Marshall receiving
majority over Taft and Roosevelt combined
OF 1884 votes and plurality of 1888 votes.
Congressman Lewis on his record before
the people, has about doubled his majority
OF two years ago, receiving 1915 majority
over Wagaman and winning the District
by over 5000 majority. Judge Worthing-
ton, after serving two years as Chief Judge
OF the circuit, received handsome major
ity in this county several years ago against
Judge Urner, but this time his majority has
been increased by several hundred votes,
being 1852 over Willard, also of Frederick
county.
Whatever may be said of the underlying
reasons for the returns in other sections of
the State, one thing is certain, and that is
that Montgomery and each of the other
counties of the Sixth Congressional District
has shown what the Democrats of West
ern Maryland can do by united effort in
support of candidates who measure up to
the high standard of excellence exemplified
by the official records of Judge Worthing-
ton, Congressman Lewis, and Governors
Wilson and Marshall
