TWO DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
DEAD.

The death of Congressman
Talbot, Of Baltimore County,
and DR.. George Wells. Of Anne
Arundel. takes from the field Of
active politics the two most
picturesque figures in the public
affairs of the state. Both We're
full of years and honors. and
both were noted for their deyo-
ton TO the democratic party
and its real old fashioned prin-
clples. They were Maryland
democrats of the old school. To
whom the democratic party was
the infallibe guide. True 10
their friends and always loyal
to those who We're loyal to them,
they both had large personal
followings outside of the prac-
tical politicians; and their rea.
sources of political strength were
not solely among those who
made a business of politics, but
rather among the PLAIN rank and
file, who in the end enabled both
to retain their hold on public
affairs all through their long
I'd, at times tumultuous lives.
heir personal popularity was
OF confined to members Of their
wn party, but both enjoyed, in
large measure. the esteem of
lany of their most prominent
Official opponents, and in a still
-rger measure the friendship
and esteem Of many in the hum
bier walks of life. who never took
my prominent part in public
fairs. While both will be eSpec-
lily missed in the councils of
..seir own party. they will also
be greatly missed as citizens
whose devotion to the public
welfare was second to that of no
one who has attained to promi-
nence in Maryland during the
last half century.

,TAND BACK OF THE PRESI.
DENT.

If you cast your ballot At the
oming election for Hon. Jesse
}. Price you are endorsing the
administration OF President VII
son. because Mr. Price has sup
ported all of the administration
measures.
If you vote for Mr.. Andrews
you will cast your vote for one
who will likely stand with the
coterie which hurrieS the PreSi-
dent and his administration at
every turn.
Mr.. Price has been tried as a
Congressman and he has not
failed to measure up to the
standards of an able representa-
tive of the people.
If he is defeated, and others
like him are defeated it will be
the delight of the enemies of our
country to claim that the people
of America are not in sympathy

Mr.. Price says he will not can
vas his people this Fall as his
duty is at Washington. the
President has so notified him
and other members of the House
and Senate. and he depends on
his record as a servant Of the
people to reelcct him TO Con

A LETTER FROM JUDGE SEEDS.

Judge E. P. Seeds of Washington,
d. c., having read in The Democrat
the address delivered a short time
ago, by Rev. w. ]. Suckow, writes as
follows:
Washington, D. c., June 18th, 1918.
1882 Newton street, N. w.
REV. w. j. Suckow, Manchester, la.
my Dear Sir:
ALLOW me to congratulate, and at
the same time, thank you for the
thoughtful and powerful address up
on The Melting Pot It's presentation
of the arguments in favor of the war,
it's recognition of the fact of the APP
parent failure of this seething melt
ing pot of America to accomplish what
some of us-possibly not thoughtful
had supposed was being accomplished,
and the remedies suggested all have
the merit of clearness and soundness.
1 have no doubt but what your ideas
thus expressed will do much good;
some people will see more clearly;
others will have new inspiration
for clear thinking and positive action,
and in this way you will have been
doing your Bit The truth is you
have been doing a mighty good work
in Iowa, and if more Of the preachers
would follow in your footsteps there
would be more effectiveness in the
war work. The ministry which ap-
plies itself to teaching the spiritual
and experimenting it with the actual
work of instruction and example is
the ministry which will, in the long
run, accomplish much. We may not
see or realize the works at once and
may conclude that the work has been
lily done, but in the final account it
will turn up as an eternal asset for
the good of all.
"It will be source of satisfaction
to me that have your address filed
with my good things to treasure, and
to realize that one has for years ad-
dressed the people of Manchester has
given them SO much of intellectual
and spiritual uplift to aid them in
their struggles and achievements.
with best wishes for your success
in all things,
~ am respectfully,
EDWARD P. SEEDS.
