pie of Worcester to hold in mind the

the ballot stands in the forefront, not

word for sound craftsmanship and
convincing national policies. He, with
out doubt honors the position he holds,
and every Democrat should seek to
honor him.
William S. Gordy, neighbor to Wor-
cester, has proved his ability to man.
age affairs financial. So well have
people thought of him, that he has
been prominently in mind for gubel-
Material honors, and who kows who
the successor of Ritchie may, be.
Thomas H. Robinson is man of
keen intellect. His legal erudition is
beyond question. His integrity un-
assailable. His Democracy lifetime
job. Vote for him.
James "A. 1OunS experience mas
fitted him for the office and while the
Democrat has always argued that an
office holder had to acquire his ex-
perience, and therefore somebody else
could do the same, still he is the
nominee, and it is the duty of every
Democrat to see that he returns to
his duties.
T. Alan Goldsborough is so well
known on the Eastern Shore as to
nee no encomium. He has served his

He is bound to make his mark, and
his career in Congress is so outstand-
ing in comparison to that of Weller's
that even Republicans should not
hesitate.

County, overwhelming democratic,
and no regrets, politically, will fol-
low.
