R4OYSTER.

Roaming roysterer. returning from
your holidays. remember oysters
ripe in these September days.
The irst day of school is the last day
Of many an oyster, but all that may be
changed. in spite of the anciest saw
about all the months without the r.,
for the department of agriculture rec
ommends national oyster day many
weeks later. doubtless considering the
frequent hot weather of September un-
favorable for the eating of oysters far
from the sea. save with considerable
added cost for refrigeration.
October Goth is the date suggested
for the national Oyster Day in report
devoted to the demonstration of the
value and prospective plenty and
cheapness of bivalves, which should
more generally take the place of meat.
and thereby assist greatly in cheaper
ing the cost of living. Scientific meth
DDS Of propagation and protection Of
the oyster beds are said to promise q
great plenty of good oysters.

State Central Committee.

In view Of the desperate efforts Of
the managers Of the so-called Progress
aive movement in this county to seize
possession Of the local organization of
te Democratic party, especial attention
has been centered upon the selection of
members of the State Central Commit
tee.
Or. George Wells, Frank S. Reveil.
DR.. Thomas i. Horton. candidates in
the Democratic primary on Monday
next for election by the Democratic
voters as the Democratic State Central
Committee of Anne Arundel County,
must appeal strongly to every fair
minded and loyal party man.
The election of tried and true, cap
able and effective leaders as the re-
sponsibe head of the party organiza-
ton, is one of the most important
duties that n Democrat is called upon
TO perform. Ii is one to be approach
ed In a spirit of the utmost serious
ness, with a determination not TO be
swayed by prevalent and trivial issues
and cajoleries. nor to be guided by any
lesser consideration than THE GOOD
OF THE PARTY AS A WHOLE.
The three candidates we have named
are men whose services to the party
and the people have been large, and
whose qualifications and peculiar fit
ness as the executive body of the
Anne Arundel Democracy are known
throughout the county.
DIR. George Wells has spent life
time of devoted service to the party.
He was resolute and inhexible fighter
against undesirable conditions and UNI
desirable men in the Democratic
party of the State before many of our
younger voters were born. and he
stood for progress and reform when
he stood practically alone. To his ex-
ample and influence may be traced
many of the changes in the party for
more democratic policies. In the bat
ties that have been waged in State
conventions. in primary elections. in
the halls OF the Legislature for popu-
lar government and puref conditions.
Or. Wells has been tower of strength
for many years: and although now adj
yanced in age and worn by conflict, his
mature spirit and undated force. his
ripened judgment and deep experience
are invaluable assets of the Democracy
of Anne Arundel Mr. Reyell. in
strength. sagacity and training. is
Rne coadjutor Of the noted leader:
while in DIR. Horton the voters have a |
most excellent candidate to complete |
the personnel of the committee.
IL is n grave matter to the Demo-
cracy TO select its managing bodyS and |
Anne Arundel is fortunate in having
three men of the type of Wells. Revell |
and Horton to vote for in the primary. |

A THREE CORNERED
WAR IS EXPECTED
New Constitution for Indiana
Promises to Be a Regu-
lar Live Wire.
(National News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 13.-The
diana promises to precipitate lively
times during the present session of the
General Assembly, and it will not sur
prise some of the lawmakers If a
three-cornered fight develops.
With the so-called tom Marshall"
constitution still before the supreme
court, and the Stotsenberg measure
which purposes to accomplish practi-
cally the same results through whole
sale amendment of the present con-
stitution, and in a manner that will
place it's validity beyond question,
Senator Will Wood, Republican, from
Benton-Tippecanoe counties, expects
to introduce during the coming week
a bill calling for constitutional con-
vention to assemble in indianapolis
next December.
This convention would have full
power to construct an absolutely new
the present instrument in a manner
that would meet present day require
ments.
The plan to be embraced in Senator
Woods bill anticipates the calling of a
constitutional conference in May to
arouse public interest through the
state so that the best citizens in their
respective localities may be selected
as delegates to the constitutional con-
vention The election of these dele
gates would be held in September and
be named by petition irrespective OF
political faith.
Senator Wood takes the position
that the men holding a constitutional
convention fifty years ago had no pow
er to frame an instrument to bind the
people of the state forever and main
tain that the people have an inherent
right to amend the organic law. The
Republican state platform promised &c
reconstruct the constitution, and while
that party has a helpless minority in
the present legislature, il is their evi
dent purpose, with the aid Of Progress
sives, to force the all-powerful ma
jority to satisfy the general senti
ment all over the state for a revision
of the convention.
