MIR. LEWIS AND MIR. TALBOT.

The Democratic voters of Maryland
aud Of the Second Congressional Dis
trict have made their selections OF
candidates for the United States Sen
ate and House of Representatives
and will give their united support to
them 1t must be admitted that the
candidates for whom the Democrats
of Carroll county will vote are men
of unusual character, intellect and
training.
The career of David J. Lewis, OF
Allegany county, now a member OF
the House of Representatives, forms
one OF the strikingly interesting
stories of what native ability, pluck
and hard work can accomplish. He
is a self-made man. Beginning work
as a mere boy, he educated himself,
as did Lincoln, in the few minutes he
could take from the labor of the day
which. for many years of his life, was
coal mining, and finally studied law
ability. These facts cannot help but
secure for him the respect and admit
ration of every person who admires
the pluck.
Mr. Lewis is one of the most earn
est and thorough students of econo-
mic questions in. the country. Elected
to the State Senate from Allegany
county, naturally heavily Republican,
his thought and energy were largely
devoted to such matters as compensa-
ton to workingmen for injuries re-
ceiyed during employment, and SINH
lar legislation, devoted to the protec-
ton OF those not in a position to help
themselves.
The most definite accomplishment
of Mr.. Lewis was his work in secur-
ing the parcel post system. No man
knows all the details of this system
as does Mr.. Lewis, because he took
up the subject in the thorough man.
ner which he does everything. Its
had long been discuss
ed, but Mr.. Lewis mastered all of its
details and framed them in a bill
which he pushed to successful pass
age. 1t was the greatest accomplish
ment along the line of national legis-
lation.
Mr. j. Frederick G.. Talbot is again
the Democratic candidate for the
House OF Representatives from the
Second Congressional District Mr..
Talbot needs no Introduction to the
people of the district as they we'll
know that no Congressman ever done
more for the people than Mr.. Talbot
n this district, and under those con-
litions he will be returned again to

Mr.. SuIIiyan'S Letter.

[ would like this little article to
appear in the county papers so the
people of Westminster might know
that the following statements which
have been circulated through our
town. are positively false and absurd.
That in case of my election as Mayor
of the town, | would appoint Mr.
Jesse l.. Berman, as chief of police
and Mr.. John E. StOnesifer, clerk.
These as we'll as the many other re-
ports that have been circulated are
untrue, and were only used as a
means of defeat Mr.. German has a
position at which he is making good,
and as for Mr.. Stonesifer, he is not
looking for a job of any kind, much
less one that would mean indoor
work, and take the job from one who
has made good as clerk, and one who
we'll deserves that position. 1t was
the least of my thought, to suggest
any change whatever in case of my
election. Defeat is no disgrace, but
the unfair means used at this past
election is a disgrace to our COM
munity People from Baltimore, only
in our town for few days, young
men under age, as we'll as the stu
dents from w. NJ. College, who are
not registered here at all, and others
who do not reside within our cor
porate limits, were hauled to the
polls, by some of the leading men OF
our town, and allowed to vote.
