Since the mobilization Of the Ma

of political friends i'm the State, made
him the unanimous choice of his
party for the nomination of Comp

Caleb c. Magruder similar warm well

prevented Mr.. Magruder making the

At the same time Harry Nice, the
Grand Old Party's plump and pleas
ant candidate, whose utter lack of
public record of any sort that would
fit him for statewide responsibilities
has been so effectively pointed out,
came to this county's hills and dales.
With him were his running mates and
his official chaperon, Galen L. TAFT.
Met upon the very threshold Of their
all-day tripping through the county
by a Ritchie band, which was await

given. the keynote which followed
them all during the day. Wherevsr

A GOOD PROPHET

Band Leader lin Campaign Tour
Knew "The Next Governor"
Carroll county residents who have
heard the little joke on Harry w.
Nice, the Republican gubernatorial
candidate that was pulled Tuesday
on the tour of the county are not
only laughing about it but they are
convinced that the band leader who
got it off is some real prophet
Mr. Nice and his encourage had
speeded ahead of Mr.. Ritchie and
his party and at Eldersburg entered
the town ahead Of the popular can
didate. There they spied the band
which was to meet Mr.. Ritchie.
"Ah, hal" exclaimed a Nice fol-
lower, this is good indeed" and he
fastened to spring from the automo-
bile and walked over to the leader
of the band.
With a grandeloquent flourish of
his hand he waved toward Mr.. Nice.
Let me introduce you to the next
governor of Maryland" he boasted.
"Oh, no, mister" replied the man
of music who is also man of dis
cernment, "the next governor hasn't
come along yeti"
Even the somewhat disconnected
Nice men had to join in the general
laugh which went up at the prophesy
of the musician And sure enough,
Mr.. Ritchie came along a fewminutes
later and got the real reception

representatives of every element of

After the band, which stayed with
the party all day to enliven the tour,
had given forth it's first tunes of ap-
preaching victory and a number Of
persons gathered at Eldersburg had
shaken hands with and received their
favorable impression of the Demo
cratic candidates, the trip through the
county was started At nearly every
place where stop was made, ad-
ditional voters were infused with the
enthusiasm of the occasion and join
ed the encourage. When the days
trip was finished at Westminster, sew
enteen automobile loads of enthusi-
astic Ritchie rooters were in the party
Stops were made at Mechanicsvi1le,
Manchester, Frizellburg and Taney-
town, and at several of these places
brief speeches were made by Mr..
Ritchie, Major Lee, and Senator War
field as well as others of the 1ocla
candidates. Everywhere there were
indications of the favorable impress
SIGN made by the speakers. But it
was in the personal touch that the
real impression was made by the
state candidates. At Manchester
where stop was made for luncheon,
the candidates were taken into the
cigar factories and other industrial
plants where they met and shook
hands with the workers. Their lack
of pretended friendliness of the cheap
type, which is so quickly recognized

with the earnest man-to-man sinceri-

throughout the county. The daylight
tour was closed with a street meet

Pflhie and His Running Mates

htpn of All Sections Turn Out TO Hear
Dpmocrats Discuss Issues of The
C7mpaiqn---Leave Fine Impression

Mr.. Nice, ranted about President
Wilson, awful mismanagement of the
world war, showed how his feelings
had been hurt by the "cowardly" ac
tion of the Democrats in exposing
his political and personal friendship
with "The Kelly" of Baltimore, who
is Democratic leader, and had
been pleaded with for years by Mr..
Nice to aid Mr.. Nice to get political
jobs. Then he told a sad, sad story
about some little boy who had been
drowned, or killed, and how sad the
little boys father was when he
found the torn and mangled little
body. One person in the audience
frankly dubbed Mr.. Nice's appeal for
votes as "Sob-squad'' stuff.
Mr.. Ritchie on the other hand, at
the Democratic meeting not only
laid down clear, logical, forceful
and earnest statement of facts, show
ing what the Democrats have done
for Maryland, and the foundation
upon which they base their claims
to the votes of all classes of people
this year. He dismissed the charges
by Republicans of incompetence in
the Democratic ranks at Washington,
by calling attention to the fact that
while the Republicans have control
led Congress for months they have
enacted not a single piece of really
constructive legislation. Their
achievements include the passage of
the Prohibition Enforcement meas
ure, and the repeal of the Daylight
Saving act This is about all. He
declared that the Republicans today
are a party of complainers, who do
nothing and complain because moth
ing is done.
Mr.. Heating, the Democratic candi-
date for Attorney General showed
clearly how his record in the law as
States Attorney for Queen Anne's
county, matches that of his opponent
i'm point Oft experience, and pointed out
how the almost constant playing OF
politics i'm the States Attorneys
Office in Baltimore has knocked the
efficiency of that Office to smith
Greens. First, BILLY The Mixer"
Boerning sought the Mayoralty and
had the use of his Office force as
political advisors; then he took the
first assistant Mr.. Marcha11t, and
gave him better paying job in the
the City Solicitors office, following
which Mr.. Nice, came out to run for
Governor and has been keeping it up
steadily while the duties of the office
are looked after by the third, fourth
or fifth assistants.
1t remained for Congressman Car
vile ID. Benson to really show up
the latest of MIR. Nice's campaign
boomerangs. Mr.. Benson, referring
to the way in which Mr.. Nice after
raising the cry of ''Wolf, WOLF be-
cause it so happens that Franz"
Kelly, along with the rest Of a
solidly united state and city Demo-
cracy, is supporting Ritchie, has
been discovered as chronic seeker
after the fa~Or OF Kelly for years
past. He declared that, IF Mr.. Nice
uis.--ed Mr.. Kelly in his home and
then entertained Mr.. Kelly in his
own home, as has been shown, and
not denied by Mr.. Nice, he is, when
he makes. statements about Mr..
Kelly being king of the underworld,
either a liar or hypocrite and has
violated every rule of hospitality"

years. Although his entire public
record has been one of achievement
and accomplishment, it was his, al
most single handed, fight before the
Maryland Public Service Commission
against the ablest legal talent the
Gas Company could secure that first
attracted statewide attention to his
ability and his fighting qualities. This
was in 1912 when, as Peoples Coun-
sci he forced reduction of gas and

bring this fight to a successful end.

ing both the regular session Of the
legislature in 1916 and the War Ses-

the important bills which placed
Maryland in the forefront among the
progressive states of the Union fell
to Mr.. Ritchie. Much OF this work
was no necessarily within the pro

for the good of the State and the

measures drafted by him was that,
