TROLLER.

The Democratic party Of Frederick
county. wul support Ex-senator Jacob
Rohrblc6 at the next State primary for
the oid;e Of Comptroller Of the State.
Mr Rohrb4ck has not said that he
will he a candidate. AMI we d. Mt even
know tina, be will accept it, and it is
altogether probable that he does not
vtut the position. but that IS one Of the
strongest reasons that he should be nom
mated.
He Is one OF the leading Democrats of
the county. and also one Of the leading
Democr IS 10 the State. He his been
for years one of the lealiu. members
of the Frederick County Bar AMI be j,
man of large aud impsrian, affairs.
Mr.. Rohrbacs VA, born in eighteen
hundred and sixty three in Frederick
CITY, and hts lived in Frederick all hi.
life.
His father was Mr.. Martin Rohr-
back, a sterling Democrat, and one Of
the leading merchants Of Frederick for
many years until he retired from busi
ness.
In eighteen hundred and Lightweight
Mr.. Rohrback. without any solicitation
or desire. WAS nominated and elected to
the House Of Delegates Of Maryland,
He Immediately took a prominent and
leading position in the House and was
one Of its mos. eff lent and leading
members, and rendered most important
services to the State In eighteen hun
drei and ninety-nine. aud again without
any solicitation or desire. he was nomi-
noted as a candidate for the State Sen
ate. After one Of the greatest contests
ever made in this county against him,
Mr.. Roh.back was elected BY large
majority. over one Of the strongest men
in the republican party. Senator Rohr-
back, in the Senate, as he had been in
the House Of Delegates, became at
once. one of the most influential and
leading men Of the Senate-serving on
its most important committees. and in
the councils of its legislators. He
served in the Senate at its regular ses-
sion and also in the special session called
By the Governor, John Walter Smith,
because Of the pressing and important
legislative business Of the State. After
his term as Senator expired, Mr. Rohr-
back, retired to the practice Of his pro-
fession. His services to the State as
Comptroller will be Just as efficient and
beneficial to the whole State as we're his
services in the Legislature, and We feel
fise to state that no better man can be
nominated for the position The fact
of the matter is, no better man can be
nominated or elected There are no
better men for this position.
Besides Mr. Rohrback's eminent fit
ness for the position, his large exper-
fence in the legislation of the State and
his extensive acquaintance with its bust
ness and political policies and needs,
makes him an especially fit and desirable
man to elect to the Office of Comp /
troller of the State
In the positions that he has held, he
has not only made good, but more than
made good. and the Democrats of the
State ought to feel and say to him,
YOU have been faithful to the trust that
we placed in you, and now We want-you
to 20 higher up where you can serve US .
to still greater advantage and still
better
There is another, and perhaps much !
greater consideration pointing to the fit
