a Unital States Senator this year, can
advocate the candidacy of former Gov
ernor Goldsborough. 1t is so perfectly
evident to everybody, who is at all
familiar with political conditions in
this State, that Mr.. Goldsborough
could not be elected if he were nomi-
mated. Over in Western Maryland,
where our great Republican MAORI
ties come from, Mr.. Goldsborough is
not acceptable to the regular Republi-
can organization, while the Progress
sive element of the party "a very large
element in that section) has positively
declal ed it would not support him
under any circumstances. In Balti-
more City, every faction of the party
has united on DR.. France, upon the
avowed reason that Mr.. Goldsborohgh
could rot command the support of his
Iarty even if he were nominated. The
Eastern Shore counties, with hardly an
exception, have signified their inten-
ton of supporting DR.. France as
against Mr.. Goldsborough, because
thew contend that with Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough as the candidate We would be
hopelessly beaten in the fight for the
election of a United States Senator
Ir view of al this, it would seem that
anyone, urging the candidacy of Mr..
Goldsborough, can hardly be animated
by a sincere desire to see the Republi-
cans win in the general election. We
are not surprised to note the efforts of
the Democrats to promote the Colds
borough candidacy. because they know
their only hope of victory. But when
Republicans advocate his candidacy
we can only conclude that they are un-
familiar with the actual po!itica. con-
ditions in this State, or else that they
are quite willing to play into the
hands of the Democrats, in order to
subserye their own selfish political
ends. In other words, they care more
for their own personal feelings and
purposes than they do for their party's
welfare and success. If any proof Of
this statement were needed, it could

present, please note the fact that
about all the support the Goldsbor-
oueb candidacy is receiving up to date.
