State Politics,

Although the State primaries are at
least SIX months away, candidates for
State offices are beginning to look over
the field and seek support among their
friends No one has officially announced
himself as vet, but the woods are full of
receptive candidates.
In the State field the principal interest
is in the Comptroller. 1t is generally be-
lieved that Emerson c. Harrington, the
incumbent, will seek reelection. That
he will have opposition is regarded as
certain. Among the prospective candl-
dates is Senator !. Frank Harper, Of
Queen Anne's county. Senator Harper
is actively identified with what is com
monty known as the Lee element of the
party. When in Baltimore several days
ago he said he had not heard of his can
dlcacy until he came to the city. He
appeared to be pleased with the mention
of his name, but would make no state
ment of his attitude.
In Hartford county Senatorial candi-
dates avowed and receptive. are becom-
ing thick Henry A. Osborn, IT,, a mem
Der Of the last House of Delegates, is in
the field He is regarded as a Lee man,
and in announcing his candidacy de-
clared his fight would be in favor of local
option and against racing at Havre de
Grace.
Walter w Preston, brother of Mavor
Preston, is also in the field. Whether
Senator Andi ews will seek reelection is
not known He has been urged by his
friends 10 make the fight
Somewhat complicating the situation
in Hartford county is the rumor that John
s. Young will also be a candidate. He is
identified with the same faction with
which MIR Osborn has always trained
and if he enters the race the progressive
forces in the county will be divided
But one Senator is to be elected this
fall in Baltimore. He will succeed Al
bert NJ. Sproesser, from the Fourth dis
trict No Democratic candidate has ap-
peared as vet. Il is not considered likely
that SproesSer will seek reelection
The majority of the Democratic mem
bers Of the last House from Baltimore are
willing to return James Me. Trippe
Speaker of the last House, will likely
seek to return. lanes A. McQuade and
lanes A. Dawkins, veterans OF the Leg
islature. will also likely be candidates.
John w. Williams. George N Fink and
Charles d. Courtney, all Democrats are
reported TO be willing to serve another
term. Republican candidates are scarce.
although it is said w Harry Pairo and
Thomas /. Parks will make the race.
In Frederick county manv candidates
are in the field for County Commission
ers, sheriff and members of the House Of
Delegates There will be no election for
State Senator, as the Hon. J. P. T. Ma
thias holds over.

Tax Amendment relieves the govern
ment OF this serious embarrassment and
gives it free hand in the matter Of

Is not an onerous taxation in any sense,
because it will be an easy tax to pay,
and it will be a very light tax to pay.

Jacob Rohrback for Comptroller

Former State Senator Rohrback is be-
ing strongly urged bv his friends for State
Comptroller on the Democratic ticket at
the coming election in November next.
The movement started only few days
ago, and especially since the newspapers
Of Baltimore have published that there is
a strong likelihood that the present
Comptroller, Emerson {. Harrington,
will have hard time securing the nomi-
nation. This announcement has given
the Frederick county Democrats hope of
landing this nomination. which they say
should now come to Western Maryland.
The late Gen l.. V. Baughman was the
last Western Marylander to fill this I'M
portant Office.
Mr. Rohrback is one of the most prom
inent lawyers of the State. and has had
a wide experience in inanc al matters and
would most acceptably fill the office OF
State Comptroller
In 1887 Mr. Rohrback was elected to
the Legislature and in 1899 was sent TO
the State Senate. In both branches Of
the State legislative government he served
with credit to himself and his county
He also has large business interests in
addition to his law practice.
