fair to mark the beinning of discus.
sion of candidates and prospects in
both parties, for the State election in
November. Not that there has been
no discussion in such matters before
this time, for there has been much
quiet talk on the subject among the
e&iers, both Republican and Demo
cratic, but all has been disultory and
y random, intended as preliminary
10 the real consideration of both pros
pets and candidates soon after the
opening 1921.
And the indications are that candi-
dates for all the offices to be filled
will be many in number for both par
ties. Aside from the fact that there
is only one State office to be filled,
amely Comptroller of the Stat,.
Treasury to succeed Major Lee the
present incumbent, who has declined
to be candidate in all the counties
there are local offices to be filled,
including members of the House of
Delegates, in all the counties and the
City, in the half of the counties State
Senators, in several of the counties
Clerks Of Courts and Registers OF
Wills, in all of the counties Sheriff,
and County Commissioners, besides
members of the State and County
Committees, and in Baltimore City,
clerks of Courts, Register of Wills,
me State Senator to succeed Senator
Sproesser, "a members of the House
d Delegates, and both State and City
Committees in both parties. Togeth-
CT these candidates will make up u
long ticket, and will carry along the
control of the next General Assembly
and many of the most lucrative off
tes in Maryland-in many respects,
considering the chaotic conditions of
affairs, one of the most important
elections ever held in the State. And

The ablest leaders of the Demo-
cratic party are already considering
the sort of men who are most likely
20 be willing to become candidates
fer the General Assembly, as it is
considered highly important to the
Public Welfare to have as large a
humber of men of high character and
ability as possible in both Houses. To
this end, men in all parts of the State
are especially anxious to have Mr..
Emory L. Coblentz, of Frederick Co.,
who was Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee in the last House
Of Deleg~. 'usent to become a can
didate. What Mr.. Coblentz will do,
is at present unknown, but there is no
doubt that there is general desire
among the best citizens in all parts
of Maryland to see him at the next
House. No man in recent years has
a better record as an intelligent, able.
and conscientious public servant, than
Mr.. Coblentz. Ills record as citi-
zen and business man, is second to
that of no one in the whole State, and
I've stands equally high among the
of both parties, both men
and women. With such men as Mr..
Coblentz, Major Brooke Lee, and 9TH
ers of the same class in the General
Assembly, the people of the State
would feel assured that all matters
of Legislation affecting the public and
private welfare of all classes of citi-
zens, would be in safe hands At any
rate every effort will be made b.
conservative citizens of all classes.

Governor Richie is in thorough ac-
cord with this plan, and al; his influ-
