BALTIMORE, Md, March 28-
Every reader of American history is
familiar with the fact that the name of
Goldsborough is closely identified with
the birth and development of the ma
ton from the beginning. The present
generation has contributed another
chapter to that illustrious family history
in the public life of Phillips Lee Colds
borough.
Mr.. Goldsborough has just retired
from the office of Governor of the state
and is a candidate for the nomination
of his party for United States Senator.
His public life has been one of great
credit to his family and to the state.
He was elected as States Attorney
in Dorchester county in 1891 and again
in 1895. He was elected Comptroller
of the Treasury of Maryland. in 1897.
He was appointed Collector of Internal
Revenue in 1902 and was twice reap
pointed to the same position by Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft. Ia 1911 he
was elected Governor of Maryland, the
second Republican to achieve that high
honor in half century.
Headministeredt the affairs of the state
for four years surrounded with every
political difficulty that could be invent
ed by the opposition to his party; vet
his administration was probably the
object of the least attack and criticism
of any governor in the history of the
state, while the achievements of his
term of Office are admittedly as numer-
GUS and as important and as beneficial
to the state IS is accredited to any man
who ever held that office.
Even with this extended experience
in public affairs, Governor Goldsborough
is still young man. He was born
August 6, 1865. 1t is quite possible for
him to serve the country in the United
States Senate for many years, and he is
the kind of man whom the people usual.
ly keep in Office when they have become
familiar with his abilities and have
learned to appreciate the fact that they
are represented by man who is the
peer of any senator in the Capitol. He
will become more valuable to the state
and nation every year he is in the
senate.
1.-THE greatest political achievement
of Governor Goldsborough has been the
demonstration by his acts that the Re-
publican party in Maryland can give a
clean, honorable and able administra-
tion."
The above was part of a glowing
tribute paid former Governor Philips
Lee Goldsborough by one of the Balti-
more newspapers recently. 1t con-
tinued:
'Theverdict of the people of Maryland
when Governor Philips Lee Goldsbor-
ough lays behind him his term of office
will be that he has made good. This
verdict will be based upon the broad
mind, free of partisan bias, which he
has brought to bear upon the discharge
of his public duties and upon his con-
sideration of all public questions; his
uatiring efforts to uplift humanity and
to improve the conditions of the I'M
fortunates; to bring cheer and happiness
into the lives of those who struggle for
existence; to advance the industrial and
agricultural interests of the state; to
exploit its unsurpassed resources and
to instill confidence in the people in
their own commonwealth.
The candidacy of Mr.. Goldsborough
is growing daily. Within a few days
after his campaign was launched, let
