Judge Woodward
Is Endorsed By
George HI. Lamar
Prominent Rockville Attorney
Believes That incumbent
Possesses Essential
Qualities"

William F. Prettyman, president of
the Montgomery County Bar Associa-
ton has received letter from George
H. Lamar, prominent attorney of
Rockville and Washington, indorsing
the candidacy of Judge Charles W.
Woodward for retention on the Circuit
Court bench. The statement of Mr..
Prettyman and the letter of Mr.. La
mar follow:
Montgomery County Sentinel,
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Editor:
The enclosed letter was received by
me from Mr.. George H. Lamar fol-
lowing telephone conversation had
shortly after an endorsement of the
candidacy Of Judge Charles w. Wood
ward, signed by number of the
members of the Montgomery County
Bar, in which conversation Mr.. Lamar
expressed regret that he did not have
the opportunity to sign that endorse
ment because of his absence in the
South at the time at the bedside of a
near relative. Concurring as do with
the views expressed by Mr.. Lamar, l
take pleasure in extending to Judge
Woodward, and to him, the courtesy
of sending his letter to the various
County newspapers in the hope that
they may find place for it in their
columns.
Yours very truly,
Signed William F. Prettyman.
Rockville, Md.
September 49,. 1884
Mr.. William F. Prettyman,
President Montgomery County
Bar Association
My dear Mr.. Prettyman:
Apropos the petition favorable to
the retention of Judge Woodward on
our Bench signed by certain resident
members of our local Bar during my
absence in the South and my request
by phone to you to add my name to
the petition and the understanding
that I would submit my views in
writing, have to say:
Entertaining the conviction that a
Judge who, by actual service, has
proven himself worthy and competent
should be retained on the Bench for
continued service in the public inter-
est and it being my unbiased opinion
that he has demonstrated his fitness
and availability for such further SER
vice, I intend to cast my vote for
Judge Woodward at the November
Election.
In so doing, 1 am not moved by a
spirit of craftsmanship, any more than
when the entire membership of our
Bar stood for the reappointment and
reelection of Chief Judge Urner OF
this Circuit, and thereby did credit to
the Bar itself.
Judge Woodward possesses to a
marked degree, qualities essential to
genuine success on the Bench, includ-
ing legal mind and judicial temper
ament, energy to investigate and
capacity to discern the basic facts and
law applicable to each case, and the
tolerant spirit and moral courage to
decide with decorum all controversies
on their merits.
If elected, I predict for Judge
woodward a distinguished career or
The Bench of this State.
Very truly yours,
Signed George H. Lamar

She was unable to make her mother

did, and yet Mazda could not help
feeling that it was imperative to map
out plan of life, and budget their
resources to last as long as possible.
Mrs. Connell was Frustrated. She re-
fused to get out of bed, and said with
utter hopleSsness, Don't bother me,
Mazda. We are ruined; grasped that
very clearly when Mr.. Ackerman
gloatingly told me the news. What Is
the use of stewing over the few paltry
dollars that are left?"
Stanley's attitude was even more
annoying to Mazda. With the buoy

every wish granted at the cost of very
little exertion on his part, he hoped
for too much.

chided. Anna has enough to do with

Stanley grinned at Anna, who came
in just then with proffer of fresh
coffee.

serted. I'm a friend Of hers. Isn't
that right, Anna?"
Don't be hard on him, Miss MAZDA,
said Anna, Indignantly. Sure, a
boy like him needs his rest. Wouldn't
you be having a cup of coffee your
self, just to keep Mr.. Stanley COM

"You spoil us, Anna. Well, since
you have it right here, I guess I'll

Anna brought fresh coffee and
sweet rolls and waddled back to her
kitchen.
"I hate to think of doing without
Anna and Charlotte. They are both
