A CARD.

On the eighth day Of September you will be
called upon to nominate ticket for the var
ious offices to be elected in November and be-
ing candidate for the nomination to the inn
portant Office of State Senator, deem it duty
owe to the Democratic Voters of this County
to announce without equivocation the princi-
pies and policies shall favor should be
elected. It is my belief that no man should
seek the suffrage of his fellow-citizens without
declaring in no uncertain terms his position on
the many public questions which are an issne
at the time. Therefore, because of this idea
of what consider to be my duty, beg to sub
NIT herewith the position shall assume. IL
elected. in reference to some questions which
win present themselves at the coming session
Of the Legislature:
II shall do everything in nv power to up-
hold the present National Administration in
its great fight for the correction of the many
evils Of a governmental nature which infest
our country TODAY stand sauareIy behind
woodrow Wilson having been ut all times his
firm supporter
u 81 shall follow the leadership of Blair Lee
in matters of State policies as long as his posi-
tion in behalf of clean politics and salutary
legislation remains as in the past.
81 shall support with all the energy pos
sess the Local Option bill as framed by the
Anti-Saloon League. not only because am in
favor Of temperance as a moral question, but
on account Of my unqualified Endorsement Of
the Initiative and Referendem.
At will be a delight and pleasure to me to
lend every power Of which am possessed to
rout from the confines of our State the race
track and all its attendant influences for evil.
/ am particularly familiar with this curse as
our county has not yet fully recovered from
the blight cast upon it by this so-called sport.
5-If the present Gang remains in control of
party affairs in the City of Baltimore shall
oppose any legislation tending to increase it's
representation in the State Legislature.
81 shall regard it an honor and privilege to
east my vote for Blair Lee for the United States
Senate.
7--My vote shall at all times be against any
emasculation OF the Public Service Law, the Di-
rect Primary Law, Or any other OF the great pro-
gressive measures which have been adopted in
this State
SIN matters of local legislation shall make
study of the progressive statutes in other States
and counties concerning Road Law, ani endeav-
or to frame therefrom bill which will meet with
the approval OF the people of this county, and
shall endeavor to have repealed the present Road
Engineer law. which is in my opinion practical
failure.
81 shall exert every effort to have local legis-
lation passed reforming the present iniquitous
Justice of the Peace system in our county. 1t Is
my opinion an injustice to compel poor people
who can i'll afford the time and expense, to ap-
pear before the magistrates of the Ekton district
to answer some trivial complaint which should
be determined by the magistrate residing in the
district in which the cause of action arose.
shall also endeavor to have the fee system either
abolished or reformed.
10-It will be my pleasure to meet with the
fishermen of the county and discuss with them
measures which will be for the good of their bus
iness, and shall be entirely guided by their
wishes in connection Herewith.
11-Believing as doin the building of Good
Roads shall favor legislation which shall be
beneficial to the county along these lines, giving
especial attention to the needs OF the farmer
