The Political Situation

Ii nov seems assured that Attor-
ney-General Albert c. Richie.
Democrat, and States Attorney
Harry w. Nice, of Baltimore City,
Republican, will be the Gubernatsr-
ial candidates this fall. Several
weeks ago Mr.. Nice vas selected As
a compromise candidate by the var
ious factions Of the Republican par
~, and there has never been any
thing more serious than individual
Indifference towards Mr. Richie.
In the past week this has disappear

warming mp to him in regular old
fashioned style. Mr. Richie is un-
doubte,lly the strongest man the
Democrats can put up aud the scat.
tered antagonism to him soon with
cred before the nndeniable logic of
his candidacy.
The Republicans have also settled
upon Col. Amos w. Woodcock, of
Salisbury, for Comptroller, and
Alexander Armstrong, Jr., of Ha-
gerstown, for Attorney General.
They will probably agree on a

are still in doubt, but there is an ex-
cellent chance that a primary fight
will be avoided. Major Brooke
Lee. of Montgomery county, is
prominently mentioned for Comp
troller, as is also Orlando Harrison,
who represented Wicomico county
IN the State Senate. For Attorney
General the names most mentioned
are Mason Sheehan, an Eastern
Shoreman, and ]. Augustine Mason
from Western Maryland.
All Of these gentlemen are good
men and furnish an opportunity to
consider the different geographic
sections of the State in making the
selection, it being generally conced-
ed that one of these places should

Western Maryland.
With Ritchle from Baltimore
City for Governor and Magruder of
Southern Maryland for the Clerk
ship, we are rather inclined to
Brooke Lee for Comptroller and
Sheehan for Attorney General.
That would make an ideally balanc-
ed ticket and one that would COM
mand the support of all sections,
being as free from factionalism as
men of prominence in party affairs
are generally found to be. Their
democracy is of the rock-ribbed kind
and they possess all the Qualifica-
tions requisite to the offices.
That the Democratic ticket has
not yet entirely shaped itself is a
matter for satisfaction rather than
regret The Republican ticket rem
resents the desires of the recognized
leaders of the party, whereas the
Democratic nominees must be sur-
gested by the general sentiment of
the rank and file, and it takes time
for that TO concentrate on any par
tlcular man or group of men. Ii is
a slower process. but il is the Demo-
cratic way and the only right way.
Slate writing, the popular sport of
professional politicians. never was
accorded the approval of the masses
and we are very glad Indeed To see
the Democratic State ticket sharing
itself in conformity 10 the wishes
and preferences OF tie big party
following.

EADCHRCKIc BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY
THIS IS WORTH READING

The experience Of Mr.. E. ]. Tou-
pa!ik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account Of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: Il have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
| would catch cold and become SO
hoarse | could not speak for six or
eight weeks. l could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. | am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, Indigestion,
catarrh Of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.

If bothered with that form of kidney
trouble which causes too frequent or exces-

from medicines that are intended for COM
mon kidney complaint. These remedies
generally are intended to increase kidney
action.
Liquid Shu Make should always be used
where the kidneys are over active during
the day or at night. 1t is not cure for
all forms of kidney trouble, but is in
tended for over-activity of the kidneys of
both children and adults alike, especially
for children bothered with kidney action

FIRST ANNIVERSARY
OF WARS CESSATION
Messages to American People
by President Wilson,
Pershing and Baker.
THE NATIONS HEROES
Reflections Of the Day Filled
with Solemn Pride and
Gratitude, Says Wilson.

Washington.-Pr e n t Wilson,
General Pershing and Secretary Baker
Tuesday issued statements to the
American people on the occasion OF
the first anniversary Of the signing
of the armistice.
The president said to Americans
that the reflections Of armistice day
will be filled with solemn pride in the
heroism of those who died in the
country's service and with gratitude
for the victory both because Of the
thing from which it has freed US and
because of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils Of
that nations"
The exercise by the American peo-
pie Of practical patriotism during the
war, General Pershing said, was an
avowal of their firm adherence to the
principles of free government that will
continue to have great influence upon
the progressive thought throughout
the world.
Secretary Baker said that while
mourning its dead, the nation was
grateful for their achievement and for
that Of their living brothers, and that
"in the name of both we may hope for
an early accomplishment Of the terms
of peace that shall complete their work
upon the battlefields of France"

"To My Fellow Countrymen: A year
ago today our enemies laid down their
arms in accordance with an armistice
which rendered them impotent to re-
new hostilities and gave to the world
an assured opportunity to reconstruct
its shattered order and to work out
in peace a new and juster set of
international relations. The soldiers
and people of the European allies had
fought and endured for more than
four years to uphold the barrier of
civilization against the aggressions OF
armed forces. We ourselves had been
in the conflict something more than
year and half. With splendid forget
fulness Of mere personal concerns we
remodeled our industries, concentrated
our financial resources, increased our
agricultural output and assembled
great army, so that at the last our
power was a decisive factor in the vic
tory. We were able to bring the vast
resources, material and morale of a
great and free people to the assist
ance of our associates in Europe who
had suffered and sacrificed without
limit in the cause for which we fought.
"Out of this victory there arose new
possibilities of political freedom and
economic concert The war showed us
the strength of great nations acting
together for high purposes and the
victory of arms foretells the enduring
conquests which can be made in peace
when nations act justly and in further
ance of the common interests of men.
To us in America the reflections of
armistice day will be filled with SOL
emn pride in the heroism of those
who died in the country's service and
with gratitude for the victory, both
because of the thing from which it has
freed us and because of the opportun-
ity it has given America to show her
sympathy with peace and justice in
the councils of nations.
