TO FIGHT HARRINGTON.
Present Incumbent As State Comptroller
Has Rival in Beasman

Because of his refusal as a mem
ber of the Board Of Public Works to
vote for certain men for State offices,
Democrats who are hostile TO Comp
troller Emerson C. Harrington are
endeavoring to make fight against
his denomination in the State pri-
maries next summer
With this end in view, they launch
ed boom yesterday for the nomina
tion of former State Senator johnnie
e. Beasman, of Carroll county. Mr..
Beasman was in Baltimore and learn
ed of the efforts of these men.
Though not discussing 1.-THE intimated
that under certain conditions he would
cheerfully become a candidate.
In the past it has been the invar-
able custom of Democrats to give the
Comptroller two terms. This is due
to the fact that he is the only general
State official who is elected by the
people every two years. The Governor
and Attorney Gens raj are chosen for
four-year terms and the Clerk of the
Court of Appeals for six years.
The fight in certain quarters
against Mrs harrington mas Deen
brewing for some moaths. 1t had its
inception in his refusal to vote for
John F. O'Malley, of Howard county,
for State Auditor, and now his re-
fusal to support Thomas Murray, of
Cecil county, for deputy auditor.
Neither Mr.. Harrington nor his
friends are frightened over the pros
pect of fight. In the first place,
they say Mr.. Harrington is not over
anxious to succeed himself, as the du-
ties cf Comptroller greatly interfere
with his law practice. But they say
he would not run away from fight
if his friends insisted he should be
a candidate.
Mr.. Harrington is close personal
and political friend of United States
Senator John Walter Smith.

Howe's Pictures COmirg.

Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival,
which comes to the Colonial Theatre
on Wednesday, January Is, by reason
of its unique character, its artistic
beauty and appeal to the intelligence
exactly meets the demand of the
most discriminating amusement pa
tron. 1t is we'll known that Mr..
Howe's pictures "spedk louder than
words and more eloquently.
Surely, too, they are more profit
able than words, because impressions
received through the eye are clearer
and make more direct and enduring
appeal to the mind than those re-
ceived through the ear. With the
fact indisputable that the picture is
mightier than the word and pene-
trates deeper, it is no exaggeration
to claim that an evening spent with
Lyman H. Howe's perfect pictures"
is worth many days of constant read
ing.

gress or the Cabinet ought to be

organised, and from them one national
committee ought to be formed. In
