Trip through western MSryian0 an
the Eastern Shore, for the papers
in those sections comment IN flatter-
ing terms upon the reception he re-
ceived personally. and the good viii
exhibited toward his candidacy.
One of the FIRST papers TO come for
ward in endorsement of the MARY
land Congressman was the Even
ing Capital, of Annapolis. printed
in Mr.. Linthicum's own county of
Anne Arundel. That paper viewed
him a. she obvious choice of his
party" and expresses the belief that
the people of Maryland will find
in him an executive devoted 20 their
best interests, of whom they will be
justly proud -
According to the Democratic
Advocate" of Westminster, Car
roll County, Mr.. Linthicum was
hailed as q winner In that section
and many voiced the opinion that he
would be the next governor of the
state.
The Hartford Democrat, of Bel
Air, Cecil county, compliments him
as a "non-factionist" and a Dem
oerat without any prefixes,'' and
ventures to prophesy that the coun-
ties will acquiesce in his selec-
ton" for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the governorship.
The Mountain Democrat, printed
at Oakland, Garrett County, lauds
his personality and commends him
as a conscientious worker for the
interests of the people" The
Ledger, published at EaIton, in
Talbot county, is highly commenda-
tory and views the Baltimore Con-
gresham as THE man of the hour,
the one man who can restore Demo
cratic supremacy in the state" and
adds that with him as our stand
ard bearer, with his splendid record
as evidence of our good faith, we
can go before the people making no
apologies and confident of success. /"
The Star Democrat, also published
at Easton, apparently acquiesces in
this opinion for it refers to Mr..
Linthicum's ''keen sense of his re-
sponsibility to the people" and an
ticipates that 1T is not unlikely he
will find the people apprecia,ive. :"
II adds that he has frequently won
reelection in spite of the oppose
tion of the bosses and is the same
type of public servant that Talbot
countians SO much admire in Sena-
tor Blair Lee.
An extract from the Baltimore
Sun shows that DIR. Thomas III.
Lewis, president of Western Mary
land College has pledged his sup
port to the Congressman, and one
from the Daily News of Frederick,
Frederick county, stated that Mayor
Lewis III Fraley, of Frederick, and
former Mayor Schell are for him,
Mayor Fraley believing that Mr..
Linthicum's nomination would end
the factional fight between the Smith
aad Lee people"
The Citizen" of the seine town,
declares Mr.. Linthicum is highly
thought of by all who know him
and that he has taken great interest
in matters pertaining to the policy
of the present administration, and
looks out as well for the interests of
his district"
The Times, of Crisfield, Somerset
county, regards the candidate for
the Democratic nomination as
Democratic in his ways as well as
in his politics." and the Garrett
Journal, of Oakland, says that he is
of pleasing personality and will
undoubtedly make a strong bid for
the Democratic nomination. The
Independent, printed at Hyattsville,
Prince Georges county, recalls the
efforts which Congressman Linthi-
cum made in behalf of the school
children Of Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties, and afiirms
that his candidacy for the governor
ship will not be forgotten by the
people of those counties who enter
tain very favorable feeling to-
ward him as they admire and honor
a Marylander who is ever alert to
defend and labor for the best inter-
ests of his state" The Wicomico
News, printed at Salisbury, Wicom-
leo county, praises Mr.. Linthicum
rs a good mixer and one who
makes fine impression wherever he
goes" and commends his course in
going straight to the people, declar-
ing that he is pursuing the right
method in getting out and seeing
the people direct and laying before
them his arguments for support"
