REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
JOSEPH HUBERT HOWARD.

The Republican Party has
nominated one of the best tick
cts, in its entirety, that it has
presented the people for many
years. The candidates, from
Governor down to Sheriff, are all
men Of high standing, straight
forward, clean and well fitted for
the offices to which they aspire.
Mr.. Armstrong, the candidate
for Governor, is now Attorney
General of the State, TO which
Office he was elected four years
ago, being the only Republican
State candidate successful that
year. He has filed that Office
with singular success and will
retire with record surpassed
by no other man who has filed
it. He is a lawyer of high stand
ing and ability and a banker, as
well as being President Of one of
the largest financial institutions
In Washington county. When
the Republicans drafted him to
lead them in their fight this year
they secured man who will fill
the Governorship with credit not
only to himself, his native coun-
ty, but the State as well. No
man more Interested in the well
fare of Maryland and its people
could have been found and no
one who will better justify and
retain the confidence that has
been imposed in him.
For Attorney General, the par
ty has chosen William G. Cole
man, of Baltimore county, one Of
the ablest and most successful
lawyers in this State. No better
tribute can be paid him as to his
fitness than to recall that he was
most prominently mentioned for
u. S. District Judge when Judge
Rose was elevated to the U. S.
Circuit Court judgeship, which
appointment fell to Judge Morris
A. Soper.
Mr.. ]. Monroe Holland, candi-
date for Comptroller, is prom
inent banker of Baltimore, whose
experience peculiarly fits and
qualities him for this RESPONSE
bic office. His success as a
banker will follow him in public
service in the capacity OF Comp
troller.
In Mr.. J. Clayton Brewer, for
Clerk of Court of Appeals, the
Republican party has chosen a
man who is a Southern MAJ
lander, being native of Anne
Arundel county, and one we'll
qualified to fill the Office so capa-
bly, filled by another from this
section of the State until the
hand of Divine providence called
him to his final reward, the late
Caleb G. Magruder.
The voters of this Judicial cir
will be called upon this year to
elect a chief Judge and two asso-
ciate judges, the terms of the
present members Of the bench
all expiring. The Republicans
are fortunate in having excellent
judicial timber and able lawyers
who can fill these judgeships
with honor, credit and ability.
The election of the new bench
means that the new judges will
preside over the courts in this
circuit for the next fifteen years;
therefore, since the rights of
property and liberty will be in
their hands, care should be taken
in selecting them. The Repub-
leans have as candidates three
men in whom we feel and believe
the liberty and rights of the peo-
pie will be in safe and sound
hands, in J. Frank Parran, of
Prince Georges county, former
~ of Calvert, for Chief Judge; j.
Wilson Ryon, of Prince Georges
county, and John F. Mudd, of
this county, for Associate judges.
Mr.. Parran has an excellent rec
ord as a lawyer. During his res
idence in Calvert, his native
county, he was four times elected
