MR.. RITCHIE A CANDIDATE.

Hon. Albert Richie. Of Balti-
more. Attorney General OF Mary
land. has announced that he is a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. and he
sets forth reasons he thinks
qualities him for the office. He
promises TO serve the people well
and faithfully if the trust is
placed in his hands.
II has been thought for a year
on more that Mr.. Richie would
he candidate. and at the same
time it was believed that he
would have very little. if any,
opposition in the party. II was
well known that he is friendly
with the City Organization and
equally so with the State people.
Rumors are now abroad that he
will have opposition. But lu-
mors are not altogether reliable.
Mr.. Richie is good Gubelnatot-
ial timber. and the big majority
he received in Baltimore when
he ran for Attorney General
shows that he is popular At
home. Certainly he has done
nothing since he has been At
tmney General that would lessen
his popularity.
Further announcements are
in order. but it will be a pleasant
condition if there are no others.

AGAINST PRIMARY CON
TESTS.

Prominent Democrats through
out the State are voicing their
opposition to Primary Election
contests. Former Mayor MAJ
hool. OF Baltimore. says these
contests have done great harm
and are the cause of Democratic
defeat, and now comes the opin-
ion OF another Very prominent
man:
Nh. Albert 5. j. Owens, for
mel States Attorney and one Of
the leading Democratic lawyers
Of Baltimore. voices a very gen
eral desire on the part of the
City Democrats TO formulate
some plan which viii enable the
party to nominate a candidate
for Governor without the I'M
pleasant and dangerous neceS-
Sity of a primary contest. Nh.
Owens. who has been one of the
ableSt and most loyal workers
in the party. like many others
who prefer party success to the
qualification Of any personal
ambition. is convinced that the

THE TAIL WAGS THE DOG.

The Ledger Enterprise. OF Po-
comoke City. the avowed organ
OF the Republican party Of Wor-
cester County, sounded a clarion
call last week to the Republicans
that BODIES not well for the lead
erS and office seekers of the Re
publican-people'S party.
The Ledger Enterprise calls
upon Republicans not to he
afraid to call themselves Repuh-
Leans. and to stand for the piin-
cipleS of then party. II no doubt
realizes that the Republican
party of Worcester county IS no
longer run by the Republicans
the name being almost forgotten
here-but by men who are afraid
10 call themselves either Repub-
Leans or Democrats. These are
men who have used and win con-
tinue to use. if the odd liners
do not stop them, the Republican
party of Worcester county TO
further their political ambitions.
and at the same time openly re-
pudiate any charge that they are
Republicans.
Ii is a case of the tail wagginp

THE INTERNED SHIPS.

Il seems a little unreasonable
for Great Britain to demand that
all German vessels in foreign
ports should be pooled and dis
tributed among the belligerent-
in proportion to THEN losses at
sea. The equitable claims OF
Holland and Norway, which
never got into the wan at all. but
vast amount OF whose vessel
property was destroyed by the
Germans. are far stronger than
any Great Britain can make
From the beginning England
was belligerent. and the Ger
man Government knew during
all the weeks that it was prepar-
ing for its attack on Belgium
and France that Great Britain
was very likely to become IN
volved. so that British ports
were not the most desirable ref
uge for German steamers. On
the other hand. Germany had no
idea that the United States
would become belligerent. and
the adjacent nations never did
abandon their neutrality; the
ports of these countries. there
fore, were readily sought by
German shipping that could not
get home.
This fact. coupled with the
still more important fact that
our shipping is of much less ex-
tent than that of England. re-
suits in giving us more steamers
than we lost-thouph we intend
to pay the owners for private
property taken while England
has lost far more than the Ger
man vessels it intelned will pay
for. But this war was no Joint
stock speculation. 1t is absurd
TO suppose that the dividends
to all participants must be the
same. France. being heavily
loaded down with debt, pro-
posed to poo all the costs of war.

LETTERS FROM BOYS

a
Mr.. and Mrs. Gustav Boehland OF
Kasota received the following letter
from their son Harry who has been
in France ABOUT six months and IS
now in Germany.
Treves, Germany, December Z, 1913.
Dear Folks at Home: Just a few
lines to let you know / have arrived
here safe and sound and am feeling
fine. 1t sure was an interesting trip.
We didn't travel at night SO we had
a chance to see all the country. AS
soon as | get time, will get some
post cards of this town and send
them home. 1t surely is some burg,
believe me-" The population is some
over $4,000 so you can imagine 1t is
quite a town. / haven't been over
town very much yet, but what l saw
of it is quite beautiful. / am having
the time of my life over here. We
are at place now that has some
class to it. All the enjoyment a fell
low could wish for. 1t seems queer
to me to hear everybody talking Ger
man again and it reminds me of New
Ulm quite a bit, only they have street
cars over here / am able to hold
quite a conversation here alright, al
though am considerable out OF prac-
tice when it comes to talking Ger
man again.
How is everybody at home now? l
haven't received a letter for some
time so / am quite anxious to hear
from some of the folks. The last
letter l received was from Hattie.
Today is the Sth and as / didn't
get time to finish my letter yesterday
will write little more this morn
ing l took walk around town last
night and met and talked with quite
few people They all seem to be
glad to see us and are very cheerful.
The town surely reminds me of New
Ulm the more / see of it.
Well, l will close for this time and
write again soon. Hoping this let
ter finds all you folks well as it
leaves me- Best regards to all from
your loving son, Harry.
France, December s, 1915 Mr.. o.
NJ. Hatcher. Dear Sir: have been a
little slow in writing since I.have been
in France. / have been on the move
most all of the time and didn't get
much time to write. We had some
easy times here and lots of hard
ships to undergo. We were at the
front for few days and had very
good success and made big gains
with hardly any loss in men. 1t
rained most of the time we were up
there. Say, the noise in the shop has
nothing on the noise at the front. l
went up with the machine gunners.
We are in barracks now and do
little drilling to keep in good shape.
The boys are all anxious to get back
home now that the war is over and
so am /, but have no idea just how
soon We'll get home. France is nice
country only it rains or is damp
most of the time this time of the
year. 1t SENS to be a good wheat
country. l saw some real nice wheat
here.
l suppose the weather is cold in
Minnesota by now, but the vege-
tables are still growing in the gar
dens here.
Well, don't know of much to write.
I'll be able to tell more when get
back home, so will close for this time.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year, and hoping
to be back to see you all soon. Your
friend, AloySious J. Kachelmyer.

Activity in Politics.
His activity in politics is a part of
the political history of the year and
it is related in the political histories
of the different states, especially New
York, Connecticut. Ohio, Indiana, and
Kansas. Mr. Roosevelt in the politi-
cal campaign was found for the most
part on the side of the progressive
element of the party. In September
he made a tour through the west
speaking in aid of Senator Beveridge
of Indiana and making speeches in
other states. He attended frontier
celebration at Cheyenne, Wyoming.
In Kansas he spoke on broad nation
al policies; in Denver on the problems
of lands, forests and natural resources;
and in st. Paul, where he attend
ed the conservation congress, he spoke
on the phases of public policy which
have to do with the country's treat
ment of its own Federal domain AS
result of speech made at Osawa-
tonne, Kansas, the phrase new ma
tiOpalism' became current as state
ment of national politices whichsMr
Roosevelt believed should be carried
out. He finished the campaign in
New York state where he had a
number of addresses in favor of the
republican nominee, Henry L. Slim
son. The results of the campaign as
they concern Mr.. Roosevelt will be
found discussed in the section Cam
paign and Elections of 1910 in the arti-
Gle United States. Following the
election he returned to his home in
Oyster Bay and continued his work
as contributing editor of The Out
look. His book, African Game Trails,
was published during the year.
