We wish to call attention to the Off
cial announcement in our advertising
columns by Prof. Geo. Edw. Smith. Of
this city, of his candidacy for Judge Of
the Orphans Court of Frederick county.
After much consideration, Prof. Smith
has decided to enter the contest. and ap
peals to his many friends of the party to
give him their support. Prof. Smith has
lived nearly all of his life amongst us in
Frederick, and very few there are who
do not know him and admire his many
sterling qualities. He has devoted his
life to the profession of music, and his
beautiful voice has many times pleased
aud thrilled large audiences. He has
been Organist for over twenty five years
at the Reformed church in this city. and
many years ago played the cornet in the
old Skids Band, which at that time was
a very well known organization. He has
bOen ever ready to lend his assistance to
any public or charitable purpose, and
very few men are known better in this
community. Prof. Smith enjoys the
distinction of having been mayor of
Frederick several terms, and has ALWAYS
been more or less interested in affairs Of
the party.

A I the head Of the political adyer-
n Using column in The CITIZEN
for some little while there has
appeared the names Of the following ten
tative, ayoved and expressed Democratic
candidates for Governor: J. Charles
Linthicum of Baltimore City, Emerson
c Harrington of Dorchester county,
Blair Lee of Montgomery county, and
Johnnie f. Beasmau Of Carroll county.
The first named Of these gentlemen, all
Of whom are well known throughout the
State, Mr.. Linthieum, announced himself
early las, f2Il, and made preliminary
csny2ss Of many Of the counties Of the
State. He stated that he had received
sufficient encouragement from the voters
he had met to Induce him to keep in the
race, and that he also felt. being from

leaders there would Sc 1T TO spouse his
candidacy and rally to him au the

This, he felt, would give him q s,roug

ing him the successful candidate. Shortly
after the first Of the year however. Sen.
ator Blair Lee announced that he would
also be a candidate, and this was shortly
followed by the statement of Comptroller
Emerson c. Harrington that the guber-
material candidacy would not be unwel-

forces had much to do with the with
drawal from the gubernatorial contest OF
Hon. j. Charles Linthicum, which he
did in a very graceful speech on Tuesday
night last. The recent election of Mayor
Preston of Baltimore has placed him in
more or less of commanding position
with regard to party lines in Baltimore
City, and it is very apparent that Mr..
Linthicum could yet no word of encour-
ment from either him or Senator Smith.
As he stated, not wanting to precipitate
an acrimonious struggle in the party,
and not caring for leadership, except in
asmuch as it went with the gubernatoral
election, he had nothing else to do but
to thank his many friends for their kind
words and offers of support, and to retire
from the field. The possible candidacy
of Mr.. Furst looked up very strong for a
few days, and many were Of the opinion
that his entering the contest would soften
the strong lines that will no doubt be
drawn during the primary fight between
the Smith and Lee adherents throughout
the city. Whilst city man, he was
known to be in fall sympathy with the
counties. and no doubt he would have
made very formidable antagonist for
anyone whose names have been men
toned With reference to the candi
dacy of Mr. BeaSman, We have no posi-
tive knowledge of just what he intends
to do in the matter, nor do We positively
know that he is active in the fight. We
do know that he has been importuned by
many friends to make the fight. but lust
what he means to do, is not known to
Us at the present time. Therefore the
elimination Of the above prominent gen,
Element leaves the field at this time to
the Hon. Blair Lee and the Hon. Emer
son c. Harrington. There are all kinds
of rumorS going the rounds as to the
line up Of different party leaders in Bal
tinore aud the State for the above two
candidates, and it would seem from
cursory knowledge that the fight will be
s very warm if not bitter one. If it can
be waged without the aforesaid bitter
ness, and if it does not create too strong
feeling and luminosity amongst the voters
in the counties, there can be no harm in
the contemplated struggle between the
two. 1t is to be hoped further that
each Of the above candidates will give the
voters some idea along the lines of their
platform. or what they intend to do for
the welfare Of the people of the State.
Just personal announcement Of the
candidacy is not all that is desired by
any means by the voters nowadays, and
We would suggest that some line be given
the people As TO what each candidate
stands for, and what reason, outside Of a
very partisan one, they will have for Sc
Letting him in preference to the other.
We shall be very glad to give as much
space as possible to the platforms of the
TWO candidates, and can assure both of
them, or any other who happens to en-
ter the field in the future, only fair and
square treatment during the primary
campaign, and our most hearty and un
qualified support to the victor.

 Allowing for the necessary partisan ship of my friends, and for the fact that those who correspond with me would be inclined to say the thing which they believe would be pleas ing to me to hear, there is still a suf- ficient unanimity in the expressions that have come from the islands to convince me that the spirit of the personnel is absolutely broken. The best men that we had in the service have very generally left, and good men are trying to leave, particularly those higher up in the service. Of twenty two chiefs of important bureaus and offices, excluding the post and geodetfc survey, the chief of which is appoint ed by the department of commerce in Washington for details of usually two years at a time, only six of those Uno held the position two years ago 1'oW remain. Of these six changes two only remain in the service. The lest are lost to it.
 A computation of the records of the length of service of bureau chiefs at March 15, 1912, showed that fifteen out of twenty-one American bureau chiefs had been an average of seven years in his then position eleven years in the government service in the islands This fact would go far to disprove any statement of instability under the previous regime in the mat ter of bureau chiefs.

KLAMBT FOR INSTRUCTOR.
Popular German Gymnast Mentioned
 As Hipp's Successor.

Members of the New Britain Tur- ner society are confronted with a proposition as to the logical successor to Charles E. Hipp, who for many years was the first instructor in gymnastics of the society and whose resignation was received and accepted at the last meeting.
 The question is one of great import ance in Turner circles, and in scan ming the ranks of the organization the consensus of opinion seems to be in favor of the selection of Paul klambt as the logical candidate for the place. MT. Klambt has for number of years acted as first assistant to the retiring instructor, and in this capacity has fitted himself for further advance ment He is regarded as one of the most proficient athletes in the society and has a thorough knowledge of the art of teaching the system which has been in force for many years.
 MT. Klambt first acquired the knowledge of Turner gymnastics un- der the tutelage of George Froeba, for many years instructor for the sO ciety, and MT. Froeba is sponsor for him, in the event of his selection to the position, as being thoroughly cap able of filling the bill
 The predicted advancement of MT. Klambt will mean the change in the present corps of assistants, and it is predicted that Fritz Klambt, a broth

A BILIOUS TONGUE

When your tongue is coated evenly, all over, with a whitish-yellow color and your breath is bad the chances are that you are bilious. Ifyou also have indiges- tion, constipation, headache and a gen. eral ill feeling, there is scarcely doubt about it. Your liver needs attention.
 Harsh cathartics which purge violently and then produce reaction only aggra- vate the trouble. Gentle assistance is what nature needs to establish regular habits of health and Pinklets, the little pink laxative pills, free from harmful or habit-forming drugs meet the require ment most admirably.
 If your druggist does not sell Pink1ets they. will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of 70 cents by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Write tor booklet anyway.
