THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER A, 1880.

A Citizen and Taxpayer of Garrett
County Advocates the Nomination
of DIR. Henry w. McComas as the
Republican Candidate For State
Senator, But Not from Political
ViewpOint,as He Well States In His
Communication Addressed to the
Voters of the County.
Tuesday The Republican was in re-
ceipt of the following communication
from we'll known citizen, voter and
heavy taxpayer, in fact being one of
the largest tax payers III the county,
and addressed
To the Voters of Garrett County,
!. 1t affords me great pleasure to ad-
vocate the candidacy of DR.. Henry W..
McComas for the Office of State Sem
ator.
The writer never has and never will
be able to view the qualifications of
candidates for office from a partisan
standpoint. The qualifications of a
candidate for Office should be judged
on merit possessed by the candidate to
properly fill the requirements of the
particular office and not, at this en-
lightened age, upon whether he has a
sd" or an "R" back of his name upon
the ballot. However, at this time, this
question is not so much involved at
the primary election on the 9Th of this
month, except that many good Demo-
Gratis and Republicans do have the
privilege of speaking to their friends
of the opposite faith and discussing
the merits of the several candidates
for office and using their influence in
behalf of the candidate whom they
think possesses the personality, ability
and qualifications to best serve the
interests of the State and County.
DR.. McComas needs no introduction
to the voters of Garrett County, he
having been successful practitioner
of medicine for the past forty years
or more. His fame as an outstanding
physician being known, not only To-
cally, but in the larger cities and adj
Joining States. His devotion to his
ingness to sacrifice his comforts and
travel far and wide over the hills of
Garrett County in summer and win
ter, regardless of weather conditions,
to administer to the sick, and fire.
quently without charge, is also well
known.
DR.. McComas, aside from his pro-
fession, has always been public spir-
tied, has been successful business
man; has taken an active interest in
all civic matters and has contributed
literally of his time, talents and mon
ey for the promotion of all things
which may lead to the betterment of
the people of Garrett county. He is
lover of Garrett County and you will
always find him ready and willing to
do his best for Garrett County in all
endeavors which may promote the in
terests of the county and its citizens.
He has studied the county; he has its
interests at heart; he knows its needs;
he knows the ills of burdensome taxa
tion and the protection the people need
and he is willing to be guided by the
wishes of the people and go along
with them in insuring the bright fu-
ture of this infant county to the end
that it may continue its road of prog
ress, advancement and achievement.
Space will not permit me to say
more than that most of the people are
aware of the fact that DR.. McComas
has practically been drafted to accept
this Office and has very reluctantly
submitted to the wishes of a great
many citizens and taxpayers in doing
so. The writer has heard numerous
expressions from citizens from all
parts of the county endorsing DR.. Nc
oorI,Ion1y h. of
State Senator.
He has made success of his profess
sion; he has made success as a bus
mess man; he is thoroughly acquainted
with Garrett County and it's needs and
