THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

The Republicans of Maryland
are fortunate in having such
men as appear at the head of their
ticket as candidates for State Off
GERS, because of the fact that all
are men closely identified with
the interests of the people.
Mr.. Nice, the candidate for
Governor, is a young man who,
by hard work, energy and fidelity
to duty, has made himself one of
our most formost citizens. Mr..
Nice's record is an open book.
The fact that he was appointed
States Attorney for Baltimore
City by Democratic Judge,
proves his worth. His running
mates, Messrs. Woodcock, for
Comptroller; Armstrong, for At
torney General, and Marcy, for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals,
are all business men of the high
est caliber, whose election will
mean that the people of this state
will have in Office men eminent
ly qualified to fulfill the duties of
the respective offices to which
they aspire and men who know
and appreciate the fact that the
peoples interests should be
served first, last and all the
time.
LOCAL TICKET.
In our local ticket, the people
of this county have every reason
to be proud In the selection of
Mr.. BENZ. F. Henderson, Jr., and
Mr.. Albert Joshua Lomax, for
the Legislature, the Republican
party has given the people an OPP
portunity to vote for two men
who are closely identified with
their interests. Mr.. Henderson
is a young man who has followed
the pursuits of merchant and
clustering. He is peculiarly fit |
ted to represent the oyster in |
terests which vitality affect a
large number of our people. Be |
sides this he gave his services to
his country during the late war,
having served in the army for 1S |
months in France.
Mr.. Lomax, the other candi-
date, is well known to the people
of Charles County. He started |
life as a poer hoy, but by hard !
work and conservative business
sense, has made himself one of
our foremost citizens. Besides |
being the proprietor of one the
best hotels in Southern Mary
land, he is a good farmer and,
therefore realizes and appre-
ciates what the farmers need in
this section of our state, in the
way of good roads, schools, and
the material advancement of our
county in every respect.
In Mr.. John H, Reeder, candi-
date for County Commissioner,
the people of the county are ex-
tremely fortunate, becauseof the
fact that not only Mr.. Reeder is
a good farmer and, therefore, |
knows what is best for the tax
payer, but he has been twice re-
commende and appointed Justice
Of the Peace under a Democratic
administration, He has not
filed any other office aside from
that just mentioned, but know
ing him as we do, we sincerely
-ecommend him to the people
OF the county for their suffrage.
1t is almost unnecessary for us
to say anything about Mr.. Geo.
p. Goode, the candidate for Sher.
if, because of his high record as
Judge of the Orphans Court.
The salary Of this office did not
justify him in being so close and
dutiful to the trust imposed upon
him, but Notwithstanding this,
he was always prompt and at
tentiye.to the duties devolying up
on him. He made one of the
best Judges of the Orphans
Court that we have ever had.
Therefore, his fidelity and close
attention to his past duties must
necessarily commend him to the
voters Of The county who appre-
