Mr.. German was we'll posted on
matters of taxation and gave close at
tention to the work of the commission
even though his health had been frail
for so long a time. Many were the
days in the present year that he came
to the Office and did his share of the
work when the employees could see
that he should have remained IN bed.
Mr.. German, as a political leader.
praotiC ally died with his boots on. He
died fighting. There is now going on
in How ard county one of the hardt -
fights that that county ever knew. T.
centers on the State Senatorship and
the House of Delegates Some weeks
ago Mr.. German called a conference at
his residence in an effort to reach an
agreement on a county ticket, but it
was all for naught 1t was not posi-
BILE to agree on the candidates for the
House of Delegates and so the lines of
battle were drawn for the primaries,
which will be held next Monday Mr.
German was backing Edward NJ. Ham
mond for the Senate, while the oppO-
sition or Warfield element of the
Democratic party had been making
] the fight for Humphrey De Wolfe.
