one. and Is for the party nomi-
nations.
For the Senate Hon. Orlando
Harrison and William d. Corddry

son is now the Senator and Mr..
Corddry was member Of the
last Legislature. Each Of these
gentlemen has a strong and loyal
following. especially in his home

one can do so.
There are three candidates for

The candidates are wcIl known to
YOU Hons. William + Johnson

BAILEY of Wicomico County
These gentlemen and their
friends nave made thorough
canvas of the counties comprising
the JudiciaI Circuit. and it safe
bet that no stone has been left
unturned to bring out the vote
next Tuesday. No matter who
wins. the support OF the defeated
candidate will 20 to the success
full ones. because all are true and
tried Democrats.
Voters should be careful to
vote for only two candidates for
the nomination for Associate
Judge, as only two can be nom
mated.
Inasmuch as ii is unconstitu-
tional for more than one Associ-
ate Judge to be elected from ONE
COUNTY it is advisable to vote
for only one of the Worcester
County candidates for Judge and
also to vote for Hon. Joseph l..

Italians have stopped attempted
drive of Austro-Germans toward Ital-
ian plains, and Germans have failed
thus far to follow up their success of
last week against General Byng'3
army on the Cambria sector in France.
Both in Italy and where they have
faced the British the Teutons have
paid dearly for any gains they have
made, and apparently now they are
e~ndeavoring to find some easier spot
upon which TO make a drive.
Possibly their search is leading
them toward the line held by the
French, running eastward from the
region of scissors through Cham
payne, past Verdun and up into Al
SAGE, for all along this front they are
showing great activity with their ar
tillery. Their apparent test fires are
everywhere being returned by the
French artillery.
