BUMPER POTATO CROP.

While Germany il taking every
possible means to conserve the supply
of potatoes in that country, even to
the extent Of killing off the hogs, III
reports are to be believed, it is crafty
i'm that in this country We have one
of the largest potato crops we ever
have had said II. o. Hayden, Chi
cago exporter OF provisions.
Unusually large stocks of potatoes
were held in January in the large po-
tato producing States. The crop In The
Northern States last year was greater
than for the past five years. The De-
partment of Agriculture estimated "
short time ago, 4 believe, that more
than half the total marketable supply
of potatoes Oh the 1914 crop remained
i'm the hands of producers on thu lrst
of this year, which is larger amount
than that held on the first Of last year
This would indicate that the potato
growers are looking forward, as are
the growers OF all other staple crops,
to the possible biz demand abroad
and higher prices for their product.
II Il estimated that the production OF
potatoes last year exceeded that Of
the year before by almost 5O,OO0,OOO
bushels.
Ordinarily there are few potatoes
sent abroad, but with the European
nations az war, it is more than prob
able hundreds vi thousands OF bush
els of American potatoes will find
their way there this year, particular

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL ., 1915
w MAN WHO CAN BE ELECTED.

As the time draws near for the
people to determine upon their choice
for the Democratic candidate for
Governor at the November election, IL
is becoming apparent that tie final
lineup at the primaries will show
that the contest will be between Elk
Senator Beasman and United States
Senator Blair Lee. The old regu-
lar, conservative Democrats will
back Mr. Beasman, while the So
called reform, or progressive mem
bers VI the party, will in most i'm
stances, b. found allied with Mt
Lee, in this, his second attempt, to
capture the Democratic nomination.
MIR. Beasman, has, I'D to the pres
ent time made no open announcement
W his candidacy, but his friends in
all parts of the state, and especially
in Baltimore city and Western Mary
land, have been quietly sounding
public sentiment and have found
large numbers Of people decidedly in
favor or his nomination. The old
time regulars of the party, in Balt1-
more city and Western Maryland,
realize that III order to prevent the
nomination of Mr.. Lee they will be
Obliged to oppose him with Demo-
crat from this section Of the state,
and they believe that MIR. Beasman IL
the most available man to assure
success at the primaries in Septem-
Der, and AT the polls in November.
The general belief among many Of
the best informed Democrats in Bal
timOre city and In Western Maryland,
il, that thu Democratic nominee will
be either Mr.. Beasman or Senator
Lee The party leaders in Balti-
more, almost to a man, are openly
opposed to the nomination Of any
Eastern Shoreman, largely owing to
the fact that the Eastern Shore has
had the Governorship for twelve out
OF the past sixteen years. On the
oyster question, al well a. ON most
questions affecting taxation, and
other matters il which Baltimore
city and the Western Maryland coun
ties are vitality interested, the differ
ences between the two sections are
radical in their character, and are
irreconcilable- No oyster legislation
OF any material advantage to the
whole state IL possible with an East
ern Shore Governor at Annapolis,
and the differences between the two
sections Oh many other questions OF
vital Importance to the state are ire
coEcilable In addition, the ques-
tions TO come UP next winter at An
napolis affecting the expansion Of
Baltimore city are considered of vital
Importance by the Democratic lead
ers of that city, and, it il safe to
predict that no candidate opposed by
the city Democracy, can win either in
the primaries or at the general cleo
ton. These are matters which must
be considered by the Democrats Of
the state and it IL only reasonable to
predict that i'm the final lineup, the
Democrats vi the state will act wise
Ivy and nominate the Carroll County
Candidate. whose conservative views
Oh public questions will commend
him to all good citizens.
