The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-08-22
COL. CARRINGTON
THE NOMINEE

Col. E. C. Darlington, of Baltimore,
will be the Republican candidate for
U. S. Senator this fall. The time hav-
ing expired for candidates to file their
papers having expired last Saturday
and no one else having entered the list
Darlington will go on the ticket with
out primary fight. Up to the very
last hour for filing there were rumors
of an opposing candidate, but none
materialized. There being much specu-
lation as to where National Commit
teeman VIM. P. Jackson stood as to
the U. S. Senatorship situation, Mr..
Jackson on Friday of last week gave
out the following statement:
81 regret that my physicians orders
prevent my roing to Maryland at this
time if my presence there would pro-
mote the general welfare of the Re-
publican party. For the general well
fare | am alone concerned. Since my
position has been matter of consider
able specultion, | feel that | may
properly make it public.
81 start with the fundamental pro-
positions that the voters in the Re-
publican party should select their cam
didate for the Senate, and that my
duty as national committeeman is
discharged by seeing that these voters
have the opportunity to make their
selection. | would welcome the entry
of anyone in the primaries and will
lend my influence to the candidate who
seems to have the greatest popular
support and who will apparently make
the strongest fight in the general
election.
"For Colonel Darlington | have
only the kindliest feelings, just as |
would have had for any other aspir-
ant for the nomination. The fact that
he was for Mr.. Roosevelt in 1912
should have no bearing on the situa-
tion, in vie wof our eYorts toward am
algamation in 1913, and Colonel Car
rington's loyal support for our candi-
date last fall.
Lowndes Speaks Out.
On Tuesday of this week, Col. w.
Bladen Lowndes himself at one time
mentioned for the Republican nomina-
tion for U. S. Senator and also warm
advocate of DR.. Mcpherson Scott's
nomination came out in an interview
wherein he said:
81 believe this country cannot en-
JOY the prosperity it is entitled to ex-
cept under the principles of the Re-
publican party and with true believers
in these principles to carry them out.
"The Senatorial primary :ists have
closed, Colonel Darlington is unop-
posed and he is, therefore, the ac-
credited Republican candidate for the
United States Senate. / am for Col
onel Darlington, as | will be for the
congressional nominee selected by the
voters of each district of Maryland
To carry out the Republican principles
which will bring prosperity to the
nation it is necessary to elect Repub-
lican officials. | will, therefore, make
personal canvass at my own eX-
pense throughout the Sixth district In
the interests of Colonel Darlington
and the districts Republican congres,
sional candidate, whoever he may be
And, further, | believe the Sixth dis.
trict will return heavy vote in No.
vember for the Republican candidates
thus carrying out the belief that the
Democratic rule is failure.
"Of course | know our Democratic
friends will blame the present bust
ness troubles of the country on the
war, but | am sure the Maryland vot
ers are too intelligent to swallow such
arguments. The greater part of the
business depression came long before
the war and had absolutely no bearing
on the European conflict"
