cal independence. People are more
and more declining to be he'd in bond
age to partisan prejudices. They are
more and more measuring the man"
in considering candidates. We are
delighted to challenge such a test for
the ticket that is at the head of our
columns. Neither space nor good taste
permits US to name and comment on
these gentlemen, one by one But you
county folks, for the most part, know
them, and we ask you in all sincerity
if the Republican party las the min
ority party in this county, haven't
right to feel proud and happy that it
can go into the campaign for county
offices with such list of candidates.
We do not expect to be defeated But
We say again as We have said many
times before. ''we prefer defeat with
good candidates to victory with bad
ones" To self-respecting man there
are worse things in life than a licking.
Hence our contention that we could
not and would not support bad
ticket We have to face no such situa-
ton today. We cheerfully and hear
tily support a ticket to which no hon
est criticism can take any reasonable
exception. Look it over and say whe-
Their or not We are right.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CECIL'S
DEMOCRACY

We want to congratulate lot of
fellow countlanS OF the Democratic
persuasion on the service they rem
dered to this county last tuesday
Wnen they kept it from being deliver
ed to Harrington by the gang which
represents him here. We are moved
to this expression of congratulation
20 two reaSCIS:
l. In the nrst place, the Demo-
cratic party, as the majority party
IN this county, owes some considera-
ton to the couLty's fair name and
fame. 1t is disgrace to the county,
shame to the Democratic party, and
modification TO all of US as Cecil
countians to endure such conditions as
nave for some time characterized the
Democratic patty in this county.
elbows, some OF whom wouldn't
make good door mats for honest mems
shoes, fellows, some of whom are
without brains or principles, with
nothing but brass, lungs and legs
these fellows have been assuming lea
derShip in the Democratic party and
representing that party before the
people of this State-to the NORTH
cation of every man with an ounce of
pride in his native heath. Hence our
congratulations to our Democratic
fel!ow-countians in having given such
a bunch a good licking.
=. Our second reason for a word of
congratulation on the county's reiec-
ton of Mr.. Harrington is this:-It
very comtortingly proves that there
are lot OF good, open-eyed, sound
thinking Democrats in this county
VINO have come to realize what a
blight has been brought on the gov
eminent Of this State by the old
Smith State machine and who do not
want to tolerate it any longer. No
greater condemnation could be passed
on any party than is passed by SIM
pie recital of the facts which we have
been repub.ishing from the Baltimore
Sun (and which we will resume next
week. concerning the awful waste and
extravaganza IL our State govern
ment. Well, that State government
has been dominated for years by the
old Smith State machine, of which
Mr.. Harrington is and has been a
loyal and earnest lieutenant. So long
as that Smith machine retains con-
troll. of the State government, so long
rs men OF MI. Harrlngton'S political
training and affiliations continue in
high public places, we can expect no
reformation, 70 relief. Hence our
qualification that Cecips Democracy
refused, on Tuesday last, to put its
stamp of approval on Mr.. HARRINGTON
and his sponsors. Our only regret is
that the whole State did not do the
same thing. For Mr.. Harrington as
gentleman in social life we have
great respect, But We view with the
deepest regret ever the possibility of
his election as Governor, knowing full
wei that such a calamity would mean
another four years Of the tyrannous,
INSCRIPTIONS rule of the old Smith
machine. We hate to think that such
a thing lies within the realm of pos
sibi!ity even.

Now that the voters have named

others who feel profoundly the i'm
portancc to have the Weller tyne of
