.SPEICHER AGAIN
FOR THE SENATE
Garrett County Republicans De-
manded His Return.

Monday mornings edition If the Bal
timore American contained an article
that just at this time is of interest to
Garrett county Republicans, the article
in question dealing with the attitude of
State Senator Speicher with reference
to entering the primary election con-
test for denomination as the candidate
Of the Republicans for third term in
the Senate.
Just now Senator Speicher is in Ken
lucky, having gone to that State one
day the latter part of last week, hence
his views upon the subject cannot be
obtained. Close personal friends Of the
Senator, however. have given out the
information that he has not intimated
to them his intentions respecting Ills
future political aspirations or ambitions.
The American article is reproduced
herewith:
Garrett county Republicans who are
worth while are demanding the return
of Harvey j. Speicher to the Senate
The experience which be has gained
during TWO terms, a total of four SEES
sions, has convinced the citizens Of the
county irrespective Of party. as well As
others through ut the state y no have
watched his course, that his return is
imperative in order that in the next
Senate there may be as many mem
bers Is possible with experience and
ripe Judgment. Mr.. Speichcr is men
toned in this connection because the
standard OF the last Senate-in fact, Of
the General Assembly far below
the mark in meeting issues that build
rather than destroy On all "uplift"
measures and all "Isms" and on untred
experiments the Legislature made a
record. For speeches that carried no
conviction, that killed time that bored
members and the galleries the two
houses were without peers in the legis-
lative history of the state
Mr.. Spelcher has not consented to
be a candidate for the Republican
nomination and may rot enter the pri.
marles, despite the entreatieS of his
friends in Garrett and in other counties
that he return to the Senate. He has
large business interests, which he has
been compelled to neglect because of
his absence IRON nome. John Smarter,
VINO has been a member OF the House
for two sessions, and who has been
heard from on almost every proposition
before the House, has already announc-
ed his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for the Senate. Thomas !
Browning, of Oakland. is a candidate
Tor the Democratic nomination.
