FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS

from which he swan to the mainland

Bello, distance of 1900 miles. Here
he met some frlars who gave him
some "seegars" to smoke. "These,"
he says, are some leaves OF tobacco
rolled up In some manner that serves
both as pipe and the tobacco ttself.'

THE GOVERN0RSHIP

The conference held at the
home of Col. Miller, in Baltimore
County last iweek which was at
tended by leading republicans
from oyery section of the State
was a most representative gath
ering of republicans, all eager
for the success of the party in
the coming November election
regardless Of personal or politi-
cal ambitions. A resolution was
adopted providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee named
by Col. Miller and a similar Com
mittee to be named by the Ma
tional Committeeman jackson
and State Chairman TAFT, to con
sist of eighteen republicans, each
to name nine members. We feel
satisfied that this Committee
with only interest of the success
of the party in mind can agree
upon a man behind whom every
republican will loyalty unite and
save the party from a bruising
urinary fight which will mean
victory at the November election.
The overwhelming success of the
party in the recent Mayoralty
campaign in Baltimore was the
result of Mayor Broening having
behind him a united party.
Maryland has not yet emerged
from the rut of being a demo
cratic state and can only be re
moved from this position through
every republican leader being
big enough to lay aside personal
and political ambitions and bend
his energies towards the nomi-
nation of a man for Governor who
will be able to unite all discor-
dant elements within the party
and win the independent as well
as the democratic votes.
There was no element of dis
cord at the meeting at the home
of Col. Miller, but on the contrary
it was most harmonious affair
in which the topic uppermost in
the minds of those present was
party success without any choice
for Governor being expressed
There can be no question but
that public sentiment at the pre-
sent time in this state is with
the republican party if the lead
ers and managers will take ad
vantage of the opportunity which
is open to them
We appeal, therefore, to the
Committee which it is expected
Messrs. Jackson and TAFT viii
name to meet a similar Commit
tee appointed by Col. Miller tt
get together in the same har
monious spirit that prevailed al
the conference at the home o.
Col. Miller and select a candidate
free from all fractional ties an6
then the party can win another
big victory in the State at the
coming fall election.
