SLIGHT FURRY
IN WORCESTER
POLITICS FELT
Meeting At Ocean City Causes
More Candidates To Loom
Up In Offing
STATE LEGISLATIVE TICK
EFT SAID TO BE CONSIDERED

A little furry in local politics was
in evidence this week when it was re-
ported that a meeting was held in
Ocean City on Tuesday evening, at
which representatives from Pocomoke,
Snow Hill, Berlin and Ocean City
were present.
The object of the meeting seems
to have been to introduce some new
candidates into the field and, so far
as could be learned, these were to be
limited to aspirants for the two houses
of the State Legislature. While
nothing official has been vouchsafed,
at this writing, to the public, some
effort was said to have been made
to induce Mr.. w. d. Corddry, of Snow
Hill, to announce for the Senate, and
some mention was made, so it is said,
of Horace Davis, of Berlin, Godfrey
Child, Esq, of Pocomoke; and Mayor
McCabe, of Ocean City, as the three
delegates to the lower house.
Developments have not reached the
stage that any positive statements
can be ventured concerning the new
combination; but it is a fact that
something seems to be in the wind.
There was a meeting held and, as re-
ported to the democrats" represen-
tative, r. Harlan Robertson, Clinton
H. Jones and Ounce Ashburn were
the three attending from Pocomoke.
If any such move is outlined, it ap-
pears that the promoters have waited
just little too long for entering into
the SIGHT, altho' all named are well
up in political tactics and know how to
wage good warfare. The public will
await with interest, subsequent hap
penings in connection with this matter.
Possibly the campaigning of Sena-
tor Goldsborough, Republican candi-
date for Governor of Maryland, fur
nishes the weightiest subject for con-
sideration among the G. o. P.'s. He,
too, is feeling the disadvantage of
his late entrance into the guberna-
torial fight. Harry Nice and Web
ster Smith have divided the voters in
to two camps, and it will be hard to
get these away from their command
ing officers.
Chairman TAFT is reported as desir-
ing a conference looking toward an
agreement upon one candidate, but Mr..
Goldsborough affects to see only one
vote for him in the conference COM
mittee of nine, four for Nice, one
for Smith, one for Quenstedt and two
non-committal. Evidently, he doesn't
see much chance of a committee APP
prevail of his candidacy. He prefers
to make his own campaign and, at
this writing, is SILENTLY" working the
counties of the Western Shore. In
dications point, however, to Harry
Nice's having the edge on the others,
altho' Webster Smith has many party
leaders with him.
The death of Chairman Uhl, of the
State Roads Commission, has led to
some talk as to his successor in the
office. Governor Ritchie's absence in
Europe will, probably, delay action
in the appointment of a new chairman
and reports are not very convincing
as to who he may be.
Among the Democrats in the State,
quiet prevails to a large extent.
Richie seems to be assured of the
nomination he is seeking and poss-
ibly those other candidates for State
offices who have lined up with him
will he successful.
