ENTER, THE GOVERNOR

Governor Goldsborough, having
found ''watchfu waiting more or
less unfruitfuI in his political hus-
bandry, will indulge it no longer. de
announces his candidacy for the U. 5.
Senate early enough and clearly
enough to prevent anyone finding eX.
cuse for not supporting him-if they
want to support him. The Governor
leaves no doubt as to what ne wants
he wants Ito use his own language
THE endorsement and support OF
every Republican in Maryland. Will
he get it! Well. this is the season or
good vii! and kindly feelings and all!
that sort of thing-on this side of the
water, at any rate. We cannot there
fore tiEd it in our heart, not this week,
anyhow, to disturb the complacent, or
let us say. the patriarchally benign
ant, feelings with which he contem-
plates the expected support of every
Republican in Maryland-of even
those whom he has most incontinently
clicked down the cellar stairs" Far
be it from our thought in this hour Of
general rejoicing to ask any raucous
questions that might disturb the
happy dreams of the Goldshorough-
Graham's might before Christmas"
If the Governor is expecting to find a
Republican senatorial nomination, all
nicely tucked away in his lavender
silk stocking. tomorrow morning, We
shall certainly let him fall asleep in
that childhood night of blissful expec-
fancy. If the Governor really must
be handed lemon, We are not going
to do it today, anyhow. The dear fell
low, for about quarter of a century,
has been taught to regard the Repub-
lican party as just nice, great. big,
jolly old Santa Claus, maintained and
equipped for the prime purpose of pro-
ducing from his generous pack big,
fat office for the delight and support
of one Phillips Lee Goldsborough, OF
Dorchester county, State of Maryland.
And thus far Santa has never failed
Pills hopes. Why sourly suggest that
he might fail him now? Nay. nay, Phil,
me boy, that old Republican Santa has
handed you good many mighty gen
erous political plums. Keep on trust
ing him-til! the day after Nmas. any
how.

A LETTER TO CARRINGTON

Elkton. Md, Dec. %, 1915.
My Dear Col. CarrlngCon:-
AND SO you have announced that
you will be an anti-Stone candidate
lor the Republican nomination tor u.
5. Senator. Well, that is frank, but 1t
is not politics; at least it is not Mary
land hepuDIlcan po.ltlcs. GU may
be d very doughty warrior but you
are deVilisn poor 'wlre puller." /
speak quite plainly, possibly with
brusqueness. lou cannot object. 1t
is after your own manner. And nei-
Their of US Is wise. The distinguished
Governor of this State shows US a
better way. In announcing his own
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
ton for the U. S. Senate, he expresses
the hope that he may receive the en-
dorsemeht and support of every Re
publican in Maryland. which is to say
he hopes for your support and Stones
support-and everybody's. That means
in ordinary language Tit is not always
easy to say what the Governors Ian
guage means) that he even hopes for
the support of the Republicans whom
he has most maltreated He forgives
them all, for the things which he does
to them. ard is generously willing to
have them forget their wrongs at his
hands and help him in his candidacy.
You ought to take lesson from the
Governors generosity and diplomacy.
You ought to announce at once that
you are perfectly willing to have
Stone forget the things you have said
about him and done to him. and that
you hope for his endorsement and
support. Do it quickly-or Goldsbor-
ough may beat you to it. The Cover
nor is very great Lothario. When he
"does accounting CO., there is no limit
to the possibilities of his fascination.
If you wake up some fine morning and
find the winsome Goldsborough has
won the heart and hand of VIM. F.
Stone, with Jackson pledged to do the
"giving away act" you may fall to
calling on somebody to kick you for
your failure to appreciate the distinc-

Sombre monuments to the activities
of the creamery promoters, the scav-
engers of the dairy business may be
found in all parts Of Indiana in the
form of defunct creameries. Their
history, regardless of location, is much
the same, and their careers have had
a depressing and retarding effect up
on the rational development of our
dairy industry.
While organized under the promis-
ing name of cooperative creameries,
the incentive leading to their creation
was not the cooperative spirit of the
respective communities. but the greed

alluring promises of exaggerated pro-

To the Editor of the WHIG:-

new County Commissioners have elect
ed Mr.. H. M. Mccullough their coun-
sci. In the articles you published
sometime ago | saw that Mr.. McCul-
Tough is special COUNSEL to the State
Board of Health. He is counsel to the
Election Supervisors. Counsel to the
School Board, Chairman Of the Re-
publican State Central Committee,
and maybe he is something else that
don't know about. Anyhow, he
seems to be the whole Republican
party in this county. take the WING
and read it every week. | have never
seen word in it about this sort of
thing, but some of US Republicans
think it has gone far enough. Why
don't the WIG say something?
Yours truly.

What would our correspondent nave
US say? We are perfectly willing to
admit that it does look something like
a case of "Pooh- BAH" when Mr.. Nc
Cullough takes to himself every coun-
selship that comes along in political
way. But it is something over which
We have not the least control. By viz
tue of his position as Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee
Mr.. Mccullough virtually names the
various Boards which elect him as
their counsel. We have no control
whatever in the matter; have neve"
been in the least consultde. Our cor
respondent seems to forget the fact
that the only use our candidates ever
hove for the WING is in campaign.
They are very anxious for its support
during the neat of battle, but our
experience has shown us that when
the battle is over and they have been
elected, they have littl furthr use for
the WING. We have no recollection
of many of them ever offering US
word of thanks and it is the rarest
thing in the world for any one of
them to ever seek our advice after
entering office. We are not complain
ing. In fact we are very glad not tc
be saddled with any possibility. We
OILY take this occasion to make an
explanation which we hope will show
our Republican friends that we can
not be held in the least responsible
for what our Republican boards do,
because we never know anything about
their doings until we read them in the
press like other folks.
