Campaign to Open.

Hon. William L. Marbury, who is
a candidate for the long term Unit
ed States Senatorship against Hon.
John Walter Smith, the present in
cumbent, will open his campaign in
this county at Hurlock Wednesday
evening. That there is great diff
ference of opinion concerning poll
cies in the Democratic party is
fact that is well known. Senator
Smith is ranked as being one of
the leading members of what has
been termed the Reactionary forces,
and is so recognized by leading Ma
tional Democrats of the country. He
has always been opposed to the
principles advocated by William
Jennings Bryan, and was strongly
opposed to the nomination of Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson; he is COM
monty credited as belonging to what
is known as the Wall Street ele-
ment in the Democratic party. He
has held practically every office
within the gift of the Democratic
party in Maryland, having been.
State Senator, Congressman, Cover
nor and United States Senator, which
appears to be goodly share of the
honors and emoluments at the dis
posal of the party.
While a member of the National
Democratic Convention of 1908, land
helpine to make the platform of the
party. when Congress met to re-
wise the tariff, he voted directly in
opposition to the position of the
party, despite the fact that he had
his votes with the Republicans he
helped to keep UP the cost of liv-
ing instead of acting with his
Democratic colleagues in trying to
lower it's cost. Which is worse, to
vote against ones party's principles,
or 70 refuse to support candidates
who may have been improperly
nominated?
Mr.. Marbury, whether one is fav-
orable to his candidacy Or not, is
widely known for his remarkable
ability as 2 public speaker, and
those who hear him during the cam
paign will have the opportunity of
listening to some of the most force
full present tions of progressive de-
mocracy that have been heard upon
the Eustings.

How a O?unkaPd Cured Himself

The American Magazine has been
offerino prizes for the best letters
on the subject overcoming Bad
Habits" The following letter from
a man who cured himself from
drunkenness won second prize. Il,
is published in the March number.
Seventeen years l had the drink

that quarter-century l was sober

my weakness until the disease-and
disease it had in truth become -
brought me, nerve-racked, unstrGng,
broken, palsied, to the verge OF
delirium and disgraceful death.
"Then, when without brandy and
ever more brandy, l could not lift
food or d NIX to MY lips, took The
fag end o a misspent life that re-
NAMED, and made a man Of it.
How? Not day by day, hour by
hour, as the habit grew; but in
slant by instant; with every instant
a poignant agony Of body and soul.
Moment by moment, I postponed the
drinking of the brandy carried in
my pocket, though every mome-.
of those first days was q suffering
such as l trust may never again Ial
to my lot. Every fiber o. ny be

Many times during that first
terrible day, and the scarcely less
dreadful days that followed, / asked
myself if 1 could live another hour,
a half hour, fifteen minutes, without
brandy. l did not know. A sec
ond? Perhaps. l was not sure. Ny
heart fluttered; beat fast; beat
slow; threatened to stop, and, sew

we have, any torture is endurable.

ton of the craving were kept a.

cure is lost and, that lost, nothing
remains. With it, and with a de-
termination to succeed, any man,
believe, can control and conquer

fragmentary letter. Yes, it was I'M

paper bore evidence of having been

Light was let into dark places of

thoughts many things became clear

A feeling of great gladness and peace
settled over her. In some way she
felt that Arthur was very close. So
strong was this impression that she
was in no wise startled when foot
steps sounded on the stairs, the

stood before her. In that supreme
