Mr.. Atwood's Candidacy.

There will be only one state
Office to be filled at the coming
general election in November
Comptroller Of the Currency.
The time has now passed for can
bidates TO enter the PRIMARIES for
the nomination to that Office.
There will, therefore, be no con
test in either the Republican or
Democratic party for that nomi-
nation, only one candidate in
each party having entered the
lists for the same.
The Republican to aspirt to
that nomination, which now is
his under the law, was and is
Mr.. w. o. Atwood of Baltimore
City. His nomination is looked
upon with favor by every faction
within the Republican party
and, hence, he should and, we
believe, will receive the support
OF every man who calls himself
or processes to be a Republican
in the State of Maryland.
With a united Republican party
behind him, Mr.. Atwood enters
the coming campaign under the
most suspicious circumstances.
Aside from having his party SOL
idly behind him, he has other
merits which will bring to his
candidacy the support OF indie
pendents and Democrats. He
has twice been elected to the of
flee of Surveyor of Baltimore,
which Office he filled with distin-
guished ability. He was can
didate third time for the same
Office and came within 900
votes of again being elected. He
is business man OF high stand
ing in Baltimore City, has a
strong and pleasing personality
and is in every way qualified to
fill the Office OF Comptroller. He
is familiar with the financial con
dition of the state, and if elected
will give to the people Of Mary
land clean, up-to-date and com
petent administration of the at
fairs of the office.
The time has come for the PEG.
pie to make change in the man
agement of this office from a
party standpoint. The people
should have a look in the Office
from a diiteren. political stand
point in order to ascertain and
find out how the financial affairs
in the Office are being conducted
from different source. Mr.. At
wood is a progressive and live
business man, and if elected will
give to the office his entire time
will make the needed reforms in
the conduct of the same that this
progressive age needs and re-
quires. His past record com
mends him to the support of not
only every member of his own
party and Independents, but to
solid business Democrats as well.

Attorney General Richie has
notified the Election Supervisors
throughout the State that regis
tration day must be held in each
OF the counties on the Tuesday
preceding the primary. Septem-
Der 4 has been designated as this
registration period. The notice
was sent out because the 1917
election laws pamphlet omitted
reference to the September 4 sit
ting.
In response to queries regard
ing the fall registration and cleo
tion as raised by several super
yisors, Gen. Richie in his letter
says, among other things;
Adults who have not been
registered prior to September 4,
and who will be entitled to vote
at the general election in Novem-
Der, are entitled to register on
September 4 and to vote at the
primary election on September
II, and also, of course, at the
general election in November.
Persons who become I'll years
OF age between the last preceding
registration day and the registra-
tion OF September 4 may register
on September 4 and may vote at
the primary election on Septem-
Der II, and also, of course, at the
general election in November.
Such persons will not be enti-
tied to vote at the primary cleo
ton Of September IL unless they
do register on September 4. In
the present case the next preced-
ing registration TO the primary
election Of September IL will be
the registration of September 4,
SO that persons who will become
III before September 4 will not
arrive at the age OF FL after the
close of the next preceding regis
tration.' Therefore, persons who
become 81 befoer September 4
will not be entitled to vote at the
primary election on September Il
unless they register on Septem-
Der 4.
Persons who will become 81
years of age after the registra-
ton of September 4 and before
the general election in November
may register on September q and
may vote at the primary election
on September II and also, Of
