man of character He understands
the needs of his people and Will b"
true TO their interests and Will max"
an able and Il safe representative.
The people of lower Dorchester c0un-
ty are entitled TO a representative.
and should rally to his support.
Mr.. Charles W. Brohawn, OF 81
lem. served in the last General AS
sembly and made good record.
Some of the temperance people oil
the county have criticised his record
on the local option question, hnt II
thew will inform themselves cioseiH
they will find Mr.. Brohawn did MOO
betray his trust. The Anti Saloon
people of the State are not lighting
him. They now know the cause OF
their failure was in their own Sta;e
leaders, who made a deal with BaI'i-
more city. which was not fair in any
respect. and the deal was made be
fore the Local option or Prohibition
Bill ever came up for vote. Dr
Hare himself was the cause OF its
Baltimore city two years ago just
as Baltimore city is trying 10 hooG-
wink the whole State now. Mi.
Brohawn voted in the extra session
to make Prince Georges county airy.
without referendum.
All of these men are upright and
honorable. and Dorchester meets
them to represent her interests in
the next Legislature.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Mr.. George A. Thompson. Jr.. who
was nominated for Treasurer, is 4
young man of stainless reputation
and of excellent ability. He is an
expert bookkeeper. If elected he
will give his whole time TO the duties
of the office There is no more IN
portant office liz our county than
County Treasurer. and it requires,
and should receive, the Treasurer 5
full time, and all his business ability
and energy.
The upper part of the courty has
claimed that the big offices nearly
always go to Cambridge. Mr.. Thomp-
son is from the upper part of the
county. from the district second in
wealth in the county, is fully com
petent, is young and energetic. and
the upper part of the county ami the
young men of the county should
rally to his support. Mr. Thompson
has never held public Office.
SHERIFF.
Mr.. George F. Sherman, our can
didate for sheriff, is too well known
for any eulogy. He has been sheriff
of our county, and made an excellent
record He makes no enen.ies, IS
very popular. won his nomination
fairly, and is entitled to united sup
port.
Such is our ticket
Two years ago We elected a Dem
ocratic Governor from dorchester
county upon an economy and etEici-
ency platform. In todav's paper
will be shown the record.
The last Legislature was the most
economical in the history o. the
State. 1t saved million dollars in
appropriations Il saved $4,000 in
the expenses of the Legislature, and
some 100000 in cutting down use
less offices aud expenses. The in
terestS of our county demand the
election of the Democratic ticket.
Dorchester is getting her part Of the
State roads, we nave fine arnntv
which is nearing COMP, ton, and
we have begun the erection CT fine
postoffice. This all has been mainly
procured from our Democratic rep
resentatives. There may be some
disappointments, but We should put
them aside and look to the common
good.
Now is the time for the Democratic
marty to be united The Republicans
have made a deal with Baltimore
city. At the last session of the Leg
islature they defeated the Soldiers
and Sailors Vote Bill, and now are
ready to deliver any and everything
to Baltimore city TIL. Democratic
party can be depended upon to be
fair to Baltimore city, bit we want
no deals. Tha counties Of the State
should stand together FOR the COM
mon cause.
