Vote the Entire Democratic
Ticket.

To WHOM iT MAY CONCERN:
In our opinion, the personnel of the
Democratic Ticket this year is excep-
tionally good.
The Convention is the proper place
for Democrats to do their fighting, and
when the ticket is made. fighting should
cease.
All should stand together in the sup
port of the entire ticket. Let no per-
sonal prejudice cause you to cut single
man. ''ln unity there is strength, and
if we all as Worcester County Demo
Gratis will work hand in hand, shoulder
to shoulder. and get out among he vot-
ers of the county and do some real
effective work. the entire Democratic
Ticket will be elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
The men on the ticket. are all pro-
gressive. far-sighted and successful
business men; they have at heart the
best interests Of all the people of both
State and County. and if elected to
office will see to it that the wishes of
the people are carried out.
These men are worthy of your con-
iidence and full support. and we. the
undersigned. fully and most emphati-
cally endorse them:

LAUREL. DEL. Oct. "a. 1913.
To the Voters and Citizens Of
Worcester County. Maryland.
Gentlemen; II has been my great priv-
lege to be intimately acquainted with
Hon. Orlando Harrison for the past ten
years. In all my association with him
can say Of truth that he is man of
the highest type of Christian character,
and of business ability and honor. On
all moral questions he has always stood
four square. and his friends have not
been placed where they were compelled
to offer apology for him. He is man
that believes in progress. and he has
put his faith into practice in his own
community. to such an extent, that Ber-
lin. his home town. has been transform
ed from quaint old village of the 18th
century type. to one Of the most beau
tiful modern towns.
In the business world Mr.. Harrison
occupies place in the first rank. Be
ginning on very small scale. he has
built up one of the largest business en-
terprises in the United States. and he is
regarded as an authority on all ques-
tions concerning fruit-growing and gen
eral agricultural pursuits.
| take the greatest pleasure in sayir
that il were in old Worcester a
voter and citizen. would gladly
freely east my vote for Mr.. Harr
and hope the good people. OF the
ty by the sea. will take advantl
the opportunity they now have
ing his services as their next $
ator.
Yours truly.

during the Boxer troubles. and there
are honorary members from other ar
