THE RETIRING GOyERNOH

On Wednesday last Governor Croth-
erE vacated the Executive Mansion at
Annapolis, and laid down the duties OF
the office OF Governor. His admins
tration is now a matter of history. II
has, in many respects, been remark
able one. Governor Crothers has done
more than any OK hi predecessors
which We can recall, to secure con-
etructive legislation for the State, and
to administer the laws in accordance
with that idea
He has stirred all the departments
of State government, and has held ~
cry official To q strict discharge Of
his duties. No Governor before him
has so assiduously addressed himself
to the duties of his Office, as he. And
he has insisted that every other official
should b. OF hi job.
lie has made some mistakes, but On
the whole his administration has been
most useful one to the State. 1t
has, all the way through, had much re-
gard to the agricultural interests of
the State, and the betterment of the
farmer. He goes out OF Office with
the respect and good will Of his fell
lowcitizens, which is, in fact, the high
est reward of public servant.

BALTIMORE WINS THE CONvEN-
TION.

As has been previously foreshadow-
I'll in the ADVOCATE, the great Dem
ocratic National Convention has been
secured by Baltimore. A very lively
contest has been going on for some
months about the place for this gath
ering, and Baltimore found strong
rival in St- Louis The National Com
mittee which held IT. meeting in Wash
ington on Monday and Tuesday last,
decided that our great city was the
best place for the convention.
"A large and representative delega-
ton went over from Baltimore To a.
sist the local committee in presenting
the claims Of the city. And one OF
the strong arguments which they had
to present was a certified check for
one hundred thousand dollars for the
use of the committee.
The coming OF the convention TO

the city. 1t will advertise it in a
most extensive manner This conven-
ton il one Of peculiar interest to the

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Ole 1912.

Two very important moves in the
campaign Of 1912 have now been
made, for the National committees of
both parties have met and decided
where they will hold the National
Conventions for the purpose OF nomi-
mating candidates, for President and
Vice-President
The Republican committee met last
month and decided upon Chicago a.
fts place or convention, which will
ID held in June. N The, Democratic
committee met in Washington this
week and decided to: hold the Demo-
cratic National Convention in Balti-
more, June 25, although st. Louis,
Chicago and New York were also Gag
or for the honor.
This great victory for Baltimore,
and for all Marylanders was won on
the second ballot. The nrst ballot
stood: Baltimore, %; st. Louis, 10;
New York, Al; and Chicago q. The
second ballot clinched the matter;
twenty-seven votes were needed to
win, and Baltimore got 20. While the
other cities were talking about paying
the conventions reasonable expenses,
Baltimore representative exhibited
u check for 100000, which was one Of
the direct means Of securing the prize.
Not only will Baltimore gain great
fofi in, fho
convention and reap much profit from
a financial standpoint but it will b.
such great thing for the State. Our
party in Maryland will be inspired
by the great men who will gather
here in July.
This convention will meet with
more reasonable confidence than any
other Democratic National Convention
for twenty years. The people have
been showing with each election more
and more confidence In the Democrat
ic party, and there is every reason to
believe that We will sweep the coun-
try next November.
Senator O'Gorman voiced the SEN
timent Of Democrats when he said
this week in his speech at Washing
ton:
THE country is looking hopefully
To the Democratic party for relief
from the manifold ills that afiict it,
and great triumph awaits us, a
great opportunity for patriotic service
and public usefulness il before US II

adhere to the teachings Of Andrew
