MARYLAND Recording Day.

Saturday, August 16, should be
an exceedingly interesting day to all
Marylanders who served during the
war with the army, navy, marines,
or with the hospital forces, because
they will have an opportunity on that
day to be handed down to historic
fame. The Governor by proclamation
has designated August 16 as Record
ing Day." at the instance Of the His
torical Division of the Maryland
Council of Defense, which has organ
lied committees in the counties and
in Baltimore to assist in compiling
the records of individual service. All
Marylanders who served. whether un-
der the flag of the United States or
with our Allies, are asked to furnish
the committee with the details which
may enable them to present an accur-
ate and complete account Of the part
Maryland men and women took in
the great conflict. The places for
this registration will be announced
later. Photographs, preferably in
uniform, should be brought and dis
charge or other papers that may be
of assistance in the work. And in
cases where the soldier or sailor can
not attend, a member of the family
is requested to come forward and
give the information.
"A good many persons may shrink
from seeming to assist in what may
look to them like passing for a place
in history's picture gallery, but no
false modesty should be allowed to
hold anyone back. The record will
constitute a roll of honor, and one
that will be dearly priced by the de-
scendants of our war heroes and her
Dimes, but it will be something more
than a private or individual roster.
In the largest sense, Recording Day
will represent contribution to patri-
otto duty. 1t will help to preserve
the record of Maryland in all branches
of service during the most tremendous
period of national history, and will
furnish important particulars for the
chapters in which her achievements
and her sacrifices are to be set forth.
No Marylander who is entitled to be
included in these records should be
missing from them. This war census
is for the glory of the State, quite as
much as for the glory of the individ-
ual, and Marylanders should mobilize
for this service on August 16 as they
did during the war for service against
the enemy. "-Editorial Baltimore Sun:

And lurking foe, all massed between;

Sidestep Primary Law.
Frederick County Democrats
Named To Unofficial
Convention.
Convention.

Democratic district primary meetings
were held in Frederick county Saturday
night last when delegates were selected
to convention to be held in Frederick
City on Saturday of this week at which
candidates will be recommended for the
ticket at the fall election. This is az
near as possible to return to the old
convention system without ignoring the
primary election. The plan was adopted
at a meeting Of the county committee
several weeks ago.
ANY person who will not be endorsed
at the convention, but who desires to
make a fight for nomination, can be-
come a candidate and have his name
placed on the primary election ballot by
paying the fee required by law to the
election supervisors. The candidates en-.
dorsed by the convention will have the
advantage in a contest of being backed
by the regular organization. The plan
was adopted by the committee in order to
avoid the expense and bitterness OF a
primary fight and at the game time to
nominate candidates who would not con-
sent to entering free for all fight for
nomination. Party leaders declare that
by endorsing candidates for places on the
ticket and avoiding primary contest
they will be able to place in the field one
of the strongest tickets that has been
nominated for years.
1t Is likely, however. that q primary
fight will take place for the nominations
for Sheriff and States Attorney. For.
mer States Attorney Samuel A. Lewis,
w. Clinton McSherry, son of the late
Chief Judge >McSherry of Frederick. and
W. Sherman Bowers. of Lewistown. now
with the American Expeditionary Forces
in France, are candidates for States At
torney, and George B. Culler and Edwin
Freed are out for Sheriff George Ed
ward Smith, the only Democrat of the
three Judges of the Orphans Court, is
out for domination. Harry Wood. incum--
bent, and W. Bruce Murdoch are spoken
of as candidates for County Commission
ers. Emory l.. Coblentz. who was en-.
dorsed both by the local county and State
committee for Governor but who declined
to run for the nomination and who Is &C.
lively supporting Attorney General Al
bert C. Richie. is being mentioned for
State Senator.
The Democrats already have planned
for an active campaign which will be set
in motion directly after the primary.
The State committee has adopted plat
form for the candidates which includes
the reduction of the tax rate, reduction
of the Board of County Commissioners
from five to three members, elimination
of the fee system IN this county. adoption
of budget system. placing the county
on cash basis. abolishing the per diem
system for County Commissioners and
allowing a certain amount of expenses
and reasonable salary. The advance
in the tax rate Of 26 cents during the
past two years under the Republican
rule, while the taxable basis of the county
has increased between 100000 and
81, 600, 900, has been scored by the Demo
cratic committee.
The convention next Saturday will also
recommend new county and State
committee at the primary election.
