To the Democrats OF the Fifteenth Sena-

was proposed, but none OF such vital i'm
portance as that relating to taxation.
Under the influence OF partisan politics
the high-tide OF extravaganza was reach
ed in the Republican Legislature OF 1918,
and was opposed by the nine Democratic
Senators, who advocated retrenchmentin
all useless expenditures, as against an IN
crease in taxation. feel justly proud TO
have served with these loyal representa-
tives of the people, and attribute to The
record made by US much otthe encourage
ment now being given to me TO stand Tor
reelection.
Therefore, in obedience TO this demand
for my candidacy, and in conformity win
the precedent followed in this senatorial
district OF electing our State Senators to
second term, when demand is made, |
hereby announce my candidacy Tor re-
election TO the State Senate.
sincerely thank you for the high honor
you have heretofore conferred upon me,
and earnestly solicit the active support OF
every citizen who believes in the position
taken by the Democratic Senators in op-
position to waste and extravaganza.

supreme court of epicurus, and is
scheduled for Saturday at o'clock D.
m. at Hayes. Md. the country home of
the Justice" near Chevy Chase Lake
AS some of the witnesses, including
justices. lawyers. bankers, brokers and
business men, failed to appear at the
former trial when only subpoenas went
out. the justice determined this year to
lay formal rule of court on each per-
SON whose attendance he desires.
To insure the strictest neutrality.
Justice Dunlop. in granting a new trial
to the German, required him to trans
late his cognomen into French. and
the case will now be known as the
Lawyers Club against Hans Won Bier
crab. alias Jambon de Biere-cancre. No
witnesses may now offer the excuse
that his affiliation with the cause of the
allies prevented his attendance at
trial where everything was German.

ed on each witness, who is also to be
the guest of the presiding justice,
