have done anything along this line
we must confess that we fail to
have ever seen or heard Of it. The
farmers must have relief from the
unbearable conditions that they
have had to face through embar-
goes high taxes, extravaganza and
waste in the state government.
The republican party has not only
adopted a platform that in all com
mon sense and reason must appeal
to the people particularly when past
history shows that it is one made
not only to stand upon by the can.

it they are given the power through
control OF the government of oui
state; it has likewise nominated a
strong ticket made up of men of
high character and whose every
endeavor will be along the line OF
carrying out every promise made to
the people of this state from one
end to another. In States Attor-
ney, Harry w. Nice, Of Baltimore
City, the republican party has nom
mated as candidate for Governor
a man close to the interests of the
people OF the state. His record from
boyhood to the present day is one
OF achievement due to hard work,
energy and faithfulness to duty.
He has kept the faith with the peo-
pie in every position of life which
he has occupied. He has fulfilled
the duties of every Office which he
occupied either BY election or ap-
pointment with fidelity and an eye
single to the welfare of the people
He has filed them all with credit
to himself and the people whom he
represented. His ability, sterling
worth and high qualifications were
responsible for democratic Judge
appointing him States Attorney for
Baltimore City as the successor of
Mr.. William f. Broening when the
latter was elected Mayor OF Balti-
more. Mr. Nice is not only well
qualified for the governorship from
experience in public and private life
but he is close to the interests of
the people which makes him an
ideal man to place at the head of
our state government. Mr.. Nice
and the republican party in this
State are fortunate in his running
mates on the ticket for the other
state offices. They are all emil
nently sand highly qualified for the
offices to which they aspire and men
in whom the people Of Maryland
can well and honestly place every
confidence. They are all peculiarly
qualified for the offices for which
they are candidates. Their train
ing in life, their high moral char
acter, energy and capacity for do
ing things ideally fit them for the
respective offices for which they
have been nominated. We believe
that the election OF Mr.. Nice for
Governor, Alexander Armstrong
Tor Attorney General, Amos w. w.
Hoodcock for Comptroller and
William L. Marcy for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals means the eco
lomical, progressive and construc-
tive management Of the affairs of
our state along the line most salts
factory 10 the people of our state.
Locally the republicans have also
nominated a strong ticket of men
well qualified to fill the offices for
which they have been nominated
With credit to themselves and the
people Of the county. All are tax
payers and men who recognize that
he welfare and interest of the peo-
ole Of the county should be and is
above all else. They all have the
energy, experience and capacity to
ably and well fill the respective
offices for which they have been
called upon by their party to be
candidates and to which they will
be called upon by the people gen
orally throughout the coanty next
November to fill.
