For State Comptroller-Oliver {. Met
zerott, of Prince Georges county.
For Clerk of the Court of Appeals
Augustus N. Denhard of Baltimore
CITY.
During the campaign Senaror Lee and
Messrs. Harrington and Magruder will
tour the State, making as many speeches
as possible. Senator Lee is one OF the
most aggressive campaigners in the
State He is a pleasing speaker and his
personality wins many votes. MessrS.
Harrington and Magruder are also good
campaigners 1t is proposed that these
three men shall travel together as much
as possible so that they will be able to
be presented to the same people at the
same time. The campaign in the State
will be managed from the State head
quarters, with General Nandlver In
charge. 1t is very probable that several
of Senator Lees close friends and cam
paign advisers will have desks at State
headquarters so that they can keep in
close touch with the general management
of the Campa gn, not only tor Senator
Lee. but for the entire ticket. There is
will cooperate with the city headquarters
as much as possible in the management
of the fight.
The Republican State Convention met
on Thursday and adopted a platform
which was agreed upon several weeks
ago by a Joint committee representing
the Republican State organization forces
and certain Progressive leaders. The
convention itself was a cut and dried
affair Its work was arranged in ad-
vance by the leaders and the delegates
merely ratified their action. The most
signifi ant ie Iture of the convention and
the many conferences which were held
were the efforts ot Governor Goldsbor-
Ough to make it appear as though the
Republican party is united. For the first
time in a number of months the Gov
ernor held a conference with Collector of
the Port. Mr. William +. Stone. and they
discussed the general political condi-
tons The Governor and Mr.. Stone
broke over the distribution of the State
appointments and since then they have
not played politics together. On the sur
face these two leaders have made it ap-
pear as though they are together and
that they will work shoulder to shoulder
/ in the present campaign. It is reported
that the Governor has agreed to make a
number of city appointments next winter
on the recommendation of Collector
Stone and his friends Should he listen
to Mr.. Stone, there is no doubt but that
the Governor would be called upon to
make number of changes among the
State office holders in Baltimore as well
as those in some OF the counties. Two
years ago the Governor not only turned
down the men who we're endorsed by
Mr.. Stone and his friends. but, in num-
ber of Cases, he appointed men who
were bitterly hostile to the State organl-
zation. 1t is known that the Collector
took this action on the part OF the Gov
ernor as a personal slap at his political
prestige. Then the friends of Mr.. Stone
have openly charged that the Governor
and his friends in the city were aiming
to get control of the Republican City
| Committee If the Governor did attempt
! this, he lost in the primaries, as the Col
! lector and his friends won.
The Progressive State Convention will
] meet this week, adopt their platform and
nominate its three candidates and then
the real battle between the three leading
parties will be on.
