Georges county, has fllled that
Office with ability and credit.
He is one of the young members
of the bar Of that county who
has met with much success as a.
practitioner, whose experience
especially fits him for the judge
ship.
The other candidate is our own
county man, John f. Mudd.
Charles county has not had al
resident Judge for over thirty
years and it is time for us to
have one. The necessity for al
county Judge is not only appre-
ciated by members of the bar,
but by those who have had bust
ness in our court. We want a.
county Judge and we want a good
one. and we believe we will have
one in Mr.. Mudd. He has been
successful at the bar. Those
who have seen him in the courts
can perhaps appreciate more full
lily than we can portray his abil-
ity, learning and unquestionable
qualifications for this Office. He
has the brains and the tempera-
ment necessary for a successful
Judge. He has served the people
in public office before with dis
tinguished ability, as member of
the House of Delegates, State
Senator and Stale Roads Com
missioner. While urging strong
ly the election of all three, we
especially urge the election of
Mr.. Mudd by reason of his abil-
| ity and exceptional qualifications
and because he is a county man
and we want a resident Judge.
Besides the State and Judicial
candidates, the Republican par
ty has an array Of splendid men
as candidates for local offices.
All are men possessing excep-
tional qualifications for the Off
ces to which they aspire.
Messrs. Robert r. Cooksey
and John E. Bardroff, for the
House of Delegates, are candi-
dates of the highest tyre, whose
Ichief interest in the Office is to
serve the people and advance and
promote the peoples interests in
both county and State.
| Mr.. Cooksey is at present a
member of the House Of Dele
gates. He has served his people
faithfully and we'll deserves an
other term.
Mr.. Bardroff, who came here
a number of years ago and cast
his lot with us, is a successful
farmer and substantial citizen.
His interest in his county and its
people is as strong as that of a
native born son. He has the
liability necessary to capably rep
PRESENT this county ia the halls of
the legislature, The people will
have in Messrs. Cooksey and
Bardroff two able, honest and
energetic representatives.
| The candidate for Sheriff, JOS
| eph H. Howard, is one of the
| leading business men in the
county, who has by his indomi-
table energy made a success in
life. He served once before in
the Office of Sheriff and upon re-
firing after a splendid record,
was strongly commended by the
court for his efficient conduct of
the office. We know he will rem.
| der the same efficient service
| when again in this office.
| Messrs. Warren M. Albrittain,
| for Clerk of Court, Charles D.
Carpenter, John r. Rice and
Ernest N. Henderson, for Judges
of the Orphans Court, are all
| unopposed for the offices TO
| which they aspire, and which
they are now filing. Their
| splendid records in office is too

ment from US, particularly as to
1 Mr.. Albrittain, whose many
years of faithful service in office
is fully recognized and appre-
ciated by all the people.
Il The only other aspirant for
Office is the writer and editor of
| this paper, who is a candidate
| for States Attorney, who sim
lply desires to say that his rec
lord is an open book; that he is
| ambitious to serve the people in
this office and that gratitude for
| his election will be shown by a
conscientious and faithful per-
| formance of the duties Of the Of
fee, recognizing that public of
| fee is a public trust and that he
. | will give to the office the same
| attention and promptness that
he has exercised heretofore in
| both private and public business.
