JUDGES.

JUDGES.
Both Joseph L. Bailey, of Wicomi-
co county. and William F. johnson,

not only every Democratic vote OF
Dorchester county, but the votes OF
all other of our citizens who believe
in electing to the Bench the most ca

bers of the Bar. Mr.. Bailey has
been the leader of the Wicomico
Bar for a number of years, has re-
eeiyed practically the united endor-
sement of not only the Bar from ms

some twelve years, and was known
as an able and vigorous prosecutor.
Mr.. Johnson was likewise endors-
ed by a very large majority of the
Bar in the First District, has like
wise served as States Attorney for
Worcester county for twelve years,
and is eminently qualified to sit up
on the Bench.
Governor Harrington appointed
Mr.. Bailey to fill the vacancy upon
the Bench caused by the death OF
Judge Stanford, and Mr.. Johnson TO
All the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Jones, and both of these
gentlemen were nominated by over
whelming majorities in the late prl-
maries. These gentlemen are now
serving upon the Bench, and have
made more than favorable I'M
preston during their short incum-
bency. Both of them should receive
the endorsement of all our citizens
who desire to maintain the high stan
dard and efficiency of the Bench.
SENATOR.
Our candidate for Senator is
well known from one end of Dor
chester county to the other. Mr..
Prettyman did not push himself up
on the party, but early in the cam
paign made known to his friends
his Willingness to represent Dorches-
ter county in the Senate of Mary
land. He became an active candi-
date only after he was convinced
that he was the choice of the avail
able candidates, and submitted his
candidacy to the Democratic pri-
maries.
Mr.. Prettyman has always been
an ardent Democrat. He is man
of fine presence, splendid ability, and
has few equals in public debate. He
understands the needs of the farm
er. and he understands the needs OF
those who make their living from
the waters, and has always been in
sympathy with them. # elected, he
will be able to cope with the, strong
est and ablest, and Dorchester's
needs will not suffer at his hands.
He will be able to do things, to ac-
complish things. Dorchester will
have sent few, if any, representa-
tives to the Legislature more able to
take care of the county and States
needs than Daniel B. Prettyman-
