STATE DEMOCRACY
CONTINUED From Page oneo

Potee, and Frank s. Revell, members
of the county central committee for
Anne Arundel. Mr.. Brady presented
the following announcement of the
death Of -r. Wells:
AS this committee knows, the par
" and the people of Anne Arundel
county have very recently suffered
great loss in the death of DR.. George
Wells, and this meeting is perhaps
the first in many years at which he
is not in attendance.
while his death comes as per-
sonal loss to the members of the COM
mittee and to the party leaders in the
State, and removes from the councils
of the organized body OF theAHcmoc-
racy of Maryland one of its foremost
and nose useful figures, it Is 4 bitter
grief to his friends and associates in
Anne Arundel county. Although he
had reached his 18th year. and had
been in failing health for some time.
his strong and capable hand was felt
in our party affairs 10 the last, and
we had hoped he would be spared for
years to come.
However, his work had been done.
for half century he had fought in
season and out, with a courage that
never failed and vigor that did not
falter and a judgment that seldom
erred for what seemed to him the best
interests of the party organization
and of the people of the State and
county. He was intensely human,
with a passionate fidelity TO his
friends, steadfast in his convictions,
the soul of honor and of justice.
Though dead, he yet liveth in the
haerts of the men, women and chill
dren of our community, and he has
given to new generation and new
political era in Maryland the price
less memory of one who never shirk-
ed a duty and who stood four-square
to all the storms of life"
Mr.. Brady then submitted the fol-
lowing resolution of respect which
was unanimously adopted by the COM
mittee:
Whereas, since the last meeting of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Maryland, the earthly career
of DR.. George Wells of Anne Arundel
County, distinguished member of
the party in the State, and one who
for many years had taken an active
and useful interest in the proceedings
and deliverances of this committee
has ended, and
whereas, This committee desires to
place in the records of the party or
ganization in Maryland minute to
his memory. Be it
Resolved, That in the death of DR..
George Wells the Democracy of this
State has lost party leader and coun-
selor whose lifelong fidelity to its
fundamental Jeffesonian principles
fittingly eliminated in earnest and
potent support of Woodrow Wilson
and the ideals for which our national
leader stands. The high and sturdy
personal character of DR.. Wells, his
astute and accurate political judgment
and his unfaltering and aggressive
devotion to the interests of the State
endeared him to us. For two score
years he was the acknowledged leader
of his party in Anne Arundel County,
and it's spokesman in our councils,
and he bore himself, in that difficult
post, with dignity and firmness.
Resolved That this committe cher
ishes lasting admiration of the sin
cere and striking personality of DR..
Wells He had reached and passer the

the Psalmist, but he gave to the latest
State campaigns mature strength of
mind and vigorous and aggressive
leadership. He was a type of Mary
lander and Democrat of whom the
party was justly proud and his life
and example remain as a guide and
inspiration to our people"
