ZIHLMAN Is DISCUSSED
FOR The GOVERNORSHIP
Republicans Ponder Over Chan
ces of Western Maryland Con-
gresham in The Race

Political discussion concerning the
Gubernatorial nominees in November,
1880, in the Republican ranks has
turned to the name of Representative
Frederick N. Zihlman, of Western
Maryland, it was learned yesterday.
Gossip over the Democratic nomine,
which was aroused last month by the
Endorsement of David G. Mcintosh,
Jr., President of the State Senate, by
the Baltimore county organization,
has simmered down and attention
shifted to the Republicans temporari-
~.
Although Mr.. Zihlman admitted that
number of persons have spoken to
me about running" he asserted that
there was no organized movement in
his behalf to obtain the nomination.
Too Early For Decision
at is too early to decided whether
will go after the nomination." Mr..
Zihlman asserted.
The Western Marylander, who rep
resents the Sixth Congressional dis
trict, long has been prominent figure
in State politics. He became a State
Senator in 1910 and continued in that
office until 1917 to take his seat in the
Sixty-ffth Congress He has been re-
elected every two years since that
time.
With Mr.. Zihlman known to be in
a receptive mood for the nomination,
it was contended by political observers
that his political backing in Western
Maryland will not allow consideration
of his name to be put aside lightly.
Republican leaders in the State said
Mr.. Zihlman was popular in the party
and that there had been "some talk"
of Mr.. Zihlman, along with the names
of Mayor Broening and Albert q,
Towers, as possibilities. One Republi-
can leader, however, insisted that eve
are all together and working for the
good of the party.
(hech On DTCeIllllS
The mention of Mr.. Zihlman was
taken in some quarters to mean that
the informal candidacy of Mayor
Broening was not particularly salts
factory to number of Western Mary
land counties. While the Mayor has
been taking steps to make himself
known outside of Baltimore City, 1t
was held that the Republican orgam-
cation leaders were openminded and
that the nomination Of an influential
and prominent Republican thus far IN
active was a possibility.
In Democratic circles the informal
candidacy Of Senator Mcintosh has
lost considerable interest, it IS SAID.
Governor Richie has indicated he will
not be hurried in making any decision
for the fourth term and other Demo-
cratic leaders have been content to SIT
bv and wait developments.
While it is generally conceded that
Governor Richie desires another term,
he does not intend to commit himself
thirteen months before the election, 1t
is understood.

COMMENDS FAIR MANAGER
FORATTRACTIYE PROGRAM
Rev. c. A. Shilke Tells Why Thir-
teenth Annual Fair Should Be
Supported by Everyone

Garrett County can we'll con-
graduate the Fair Association
and Henry NJ. Speicher, mana
ger, for the unusually attractive
program announced in The Re
publican and in the premium cat
alogue for the Thirteenth An
nual Fair, October |, 2, 3 and
A." Rev. Charles A. Shilke, pas
tor of st. Marks Lutheran church of
Oakland, stated yesterday when asked
about the prospects for a successful
exhibition the first of the coming
month.
Nothing has been spared by Mr..
Speicher to make the fair the best
in its history and it has required
much effort and money to present such
an attractive program" he said.
"Aside from the regular published
premium list, which has a wider scope
and is more generous than ever, the
business men and business interests of
Oakland are offering many additional
and attractive premiums, full list
of which appeared in the last two is
sues of The Republican.
"The Garrett County Agricultural
Fair is a real challenge to the people,
q challenge to the entire county for its
full support and success Garrett coun-
ty depends upon the pursuit Of agri-
culture more than upon any other in
dustry for her financial stability
Therefore, the agricultural fair which
is beneficial and educational institu-
ton, commands the hearty support of
every citizen.
Its success depends largely upon
the cooperation Of the people. The
fair depends upon the farmers to bring
their select stock and farm products
for exhibition where they can be
studied and judged side by side; it
depends also on the housewives to
bring their arts in canning, preserv-
INC. and needle work; it depends on the
schools to depict the progress in ed
ucation; it depends on those who COM
plete projects for better home facili-
ties and health conditions, and many
others.
The success of the fair also de-
Ponds upon the cooperation Of the
business interests, not only Of Oak
land. but of the entire county. 1t
depends upon the attendance of people
at the Fair, where they can receive
the educational opportunities which
are offered there, and enjoy the at
fractions which the fair has to offer.
The larger the patronage this year,
the better will be the fair next year,
I'VE have every right to be boosters
for the fair and show our interest by
buying season tickets, and commend
ing the fair to our friends. Attend
both day and night programs; enjoy
the new attractions and help put Gar
rett countys fair on a par with other
county fairs in the State and sur
rounding country"

Bulletin

DuIletin.
William Miller died at 9 o'clock
this morning in the City Hospital,
Morgantown, from injuries sustained
in an automobile accident which Oc-
cured on Monday evening on the
Observation-Disclosures highway. He
received compound fracture of the
skull and an operation was performed
early Tuesday to remove some of the
pressure on the brain caused by the
fracture, in an effort to save his life.
One man is in the City Hos
pital, MorgantoWn, W. Va, in
critical condition, while three
companions, two of whom are
Garrett county school teachers,
are also in the hospital painfully
but it is believed not seriously
hurt as the result of an auto
mobile accident which occurred
at ten o'clock Monday night on
the Observation-Disclosures highway
at point locally known as Pioneer
Rocks, near Dellslow, few miles east
of Morgantown, when the Ford coach
in which the four were riding left the
highway and crashed into a telephone
pole.
William Miller, Is, Terra Alta, a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Miller,
the former, cashier Of the First Ma
tional Bank at Terra Alta, is suffering
fro ma compound fracture Of the skull,

Simons, of Cumberland, the fourth
member Of the party, is suffering
from deep cuts in her right arm.
H. N. Rexroad, State policeman,
who was summoned to the scene of the
accident from Morgantown, said that
it was apparent that the car was trav-
cling at a speed which made it I'M
possible to negotiate the sharp curve
in the highway at Pioneer Rocks.
The party was going toward Morgan
town when the accident occurred.
Miss Bloss is teacher at Cherry
Creek school, located six miles south
of Oakland, and Mrs. Simons teaches

advantages of municipal golf
courses. by giving visitors facilities

said.
