MR. HARRING1ON,s RECORD.

From the Cecil Whig.
How Mr.. Emerson c. Harrington
may fare in his contest for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination is no
concern Of ours. from a political
standpoint. But when Mr.. Harrin8-
ton undertakes to plead his cause on
the basis Of his record as State comp
troller. we feel at entire liberty I'D
suggest that he has not leg to stand
on. As a matter of fact. Mr.. Har-
rington has been for four years the
State comptroller and has known. Cor
ought to have known the lamentable
character Of the States fiscal system
and its increasing financial difficult
ties. And yet nobody knows of a sin
gle thing which Mr. Harrington has
done in all those four years. or of a
single idea which he has advanced, 70
help the situation or to even increase
the efficiency of his Office as the ad-
ministrator of the States finances
This is not much of a record TO
afford any encouragement to Mary
land citizens who reflect on the possi-
bility Of Mr.. Harrington becoming
governor. Neither is it record on
which Mr. Harrington is entitled to
ask Maryland citizens to make him
governor.

nRIRTTE TO CONNER.

From the Milford Chronicle.
Fifty years identified with the same
interests, and giving in that
time all that was best in interest and
ability to his employer, Is the record
of Alvin B. Conner, of FELTON,. Della
ware, who at July 1. 1915, retired for
active work in the employ OF the
Delaware railroad, now a part of the
Pennsylvania railroad system. Mr..
Conner started railroad work under
the guidance of his father. the late
James B. Conner, at his home town,
FELTON,, and never in all that time has
he missed drawing his regular
monthly pay check, or lost any time
from the service of his employer Mr.
Conner has been a real live wire in
the affairs of his business and IN the
political affairs of his native state.
Always radical in his views it has led
him under the criticism of his politi-
cal opponents, and he received bitter
attacks from that source which we're
really tributes to his ability to force
the policies of his party into eifec-
tive action. Such men are missed
from any position and the gathering
of the white roses" or age entities
them to the ease and comfort which
follows the laying off of the harness
in which they have been active for a
half century Alvin b. Conner has
the deserved respect of his lifelong
employers, and the rendering to him
of a banquet by the officials of the
railroad system he has served so
long, is only one Of the many marks
of appreciation which will fall to his
cup of pleasure. The respect of a
State. his home county and town and
the people generally wherever he Is
known. will attest to the public ser
vice of Mr. Conner.
