Yet Miss Lois Meath says that her

Miss Meath, pretty, with large blue

THE STATE CONVENTION

The Republican State Convention to
nominate a candidate for Comptroller
of the Treasury and a candidate for
Cleark of the Court of Appeals will
meet in Baltimore City, on Tuesday,
the 9th of August. Most of the counties
in the State have already held their
respective conventions and named dele
gates to the State Convention as we'll
as nominated local tickets.
In the selection of candidates for the
State offices the paramount considera-
ton should be given to the selection
Of. the very best material available in
Republican ranks and it devolves upon
the delegates to the Convention to see
to it that no mugwump Republican,
party henchman or some we'll known
loafer around the State Capital, secure
the nomination, for should such men
be nominated as the standards bearer
of our party defeat will be the newt
able result at the coming election.
We believe, however, and sincerely
hope that men of ability, intelligence
and energy, men worthy of the honor
and who will lead the party to victory,
will be nominated on Tuesday. With
strong ticket in the field and unit
ed party, victory at the November
election is assured otherwise the Dem
ocratic party, the party that disfran-
chise many of our citizens, will control
the next General Assembly of this
State. If this be true, German will be
returned to the United States Senate,
more partisan, nefarious unconsituti-
onal laws, laws in derogation of the
interest of the people as we'll as more
currupt election laws will be placed
upon the Statute books. The people
are opposed to the Gorman-RaSin gang
ruling the affairs of this State and un-
less radical change takes place be-
fore the coming election this old and
currupt gang will receive death blow
as the polls at the Democratic party
in this State, is anything but har-
monious body. strong and bitter fact
ions existing in many of the counties.
In our county we find the same con-
dition of affairs in the Democratic
party, the organization verses the anti
organization fighting for supremacy

as the other.
The political pot is not expected to
boil fiercely until September.
The party platform will be adopted
at the State Convention. 1t will pro-
badly condemn the State census as un-
