At the close Of the campaign in Anne

meas Of the Democratic nominees for

dey are more than ever manifest, and
no good reason can be advanced why
any candidate on the Democratic
ticket, State or local, should not re-
ceive the loyal md hearty support Of
the whole party. and the commentator

citizens.
The Democratic party is party OF
progress, fulfilling its mission by keep
ing in close tlaeh with the awakening
and developing trend Of the times. and
responsive to popular sentiment; ana
that great mission is to carry into e.

only American party that has a span
of life covering the nations history,
and while times and men change, ITS
principles remain, Us applicable 20 the

Wilson and Bryan and the Demo

keen regret to Maryland Democracy
that tn State has had only one demo-
