FOR TILE NEXT SEVENTEEN
MONTHS the people of Maryland
will be entertained by political ma
neuvers. The campaign for the
democratic nomination for Governor
was formally opened on Monday of
this week with the announcement of
Mayor Howard W. Jackson.
There are number of men who
have been mentioned as probable
candidates and whose announcements
will probably be made in due time.
However, many concede that Mayor
Jackson naturally occupies the lead
ing position due to the prestige and
influence of being chief executive of
Maryland's metropolis and because of
bis withdrawal as a candidate in
1894.

Joseph A. Cantren
To Be Candidate
For State Senate
Member OF House OF Delegates
Also Will Support Mayor
Jackson

Joseph A. Cantreil, member of the
House of Delegates, has announced
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for State Senator from
Montgomery County.
Cantrell also said he would support
Mayor Howard jackson for Governor.
One of the leading figures in the
Fusionist movement, Cantrell never
theless supported State Senator Pres
colt and other Organization Demo-
cratic in several Legislative activities.
He is active in the American Legion
and is one of the county's outstand-
ing orators. Possessed Of a vigorous
personality, his announcement coming
as a Democrat is taken by many OBJ
servers to mean the death-lmell of the
Fusion party. While other names have
been mentioned for the State Senate
by prominent Democrats, the more
cooler-headed leaders are inclined to
reach compromise when it comes to
ameliorating the hitherto warning
factions of the Democratic ranks.
CantrelPs announcement declared:
upon the insistence Of my many
friends in all parts Of Montgomery
County that i make some public state
ment as to where stand in the eIec-
ton campaign of 1888, desire to an
nounce that l shall be candidate for
the Senate of Maryland subject to the
Democratic primaries"

Mayor Jackson Has
Formally Entered
Race For Governor
Statement Issued This Week
Clearly Sets Forth His Plat
form For Coming Campaign

The 1888 campaign for Governor
of Maryland is already underway
Mayor Howard w. Jackson Of Bal
timore has formally entered the race
The mayor states: "It seems clear
that the State Government needs q
return to Democratic adninistra.
ton, and a sincere effort to intro
duce the principles of economy and
efficiency in the operations of the
State Departments. I have had a
long and, believe, fairly successful
experience in public administration
as Mayor of Baltimore, and I want
to place that experience at the serv-
ice of all the people of Maryland"
Mayor Jackson entered the campaign
in 1884 but withdrew early when
it became known that the late Gov
ernor Richie again sought the nom-
ination. Since that time, however, it
has been generally assumed that
Baltimore's popular Mayor would
seek the 1888 nomination.
Announcing himself nearly fifteen
months in advance of the primary,
Mayor Jackson has taken the num-
Der one position and with a we'll
rounded organization his supporters
are pointing to the possibility of his
securing the nomination without
opposition.
At the same time other potential
candidates were. drawn into the pic
ture as a result of Jackson's an
nouncement. Lansdale G. Sasscer
Of Prince Georges County, President
of thd Senate, is probable candi-
date as well as Attorney General
Herbert r. O'Conor.
Following his announcement sew
eral county leaders have endorsed
Mayor Jackson. They include Har-
rison Rider and Edward H. Burke
of Baltimore County and w. Preston
Lane, former Attorney-Gen Of
Washington County.
With the announcement of his
candidacy, Mr.. Jackson issued q
lengthy statement on what he con-
ceived to be the issues on which
the ensuing campaign should be
waged. Among his recommends.
tions are:
A pledge to bring about reorgani-
cation Of the boards, commissions
and offices Of the State government
A rigid inspection of the States
financial setup and to establish
supervision and control of all State
activities.
The employment of a State En-
gineer.
Strengthening Of the merit system
and general pension system fol
State employees.
Pay-as-you-gO policy on capita
expenditures. +.
Uniformly applied taxes.
Reorganization Of the State Road
Commission.

were many items which would b

WE HAVE HEARD rumors that
the old wooden railroad bridge east
Of the present Rockville grade cross
ing is doomed to go the way of all
timber. The office of Vice Presi-
dent Galloway, of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, says it depends upon
the attitude and plans of the State
Roads Commission. Although we were
unable to get in touch with Chief
Engineer Nathan L. Smith today
another State Roads official said he
knew nothing new concerning the
plans for the approaches to the new
overhead crossing and so,-we ran
into the familiar stone wall. Mean
while, we wonder if it is a lot of
stuff about this uprooting of the
|old street car tracks on Montgomery
Avenue. Will DIR. Tabler and his
associates remedy the traffic con-
ditions here in Rockville, or is this
Just another promise?
The Commissioners were informed
Tuesday by c. W. Galloway, vice pres
|ident of the B. & o. Railroad, that the
Rockville grade crossing will be clos
led as soon as the new overhead bridge
lis completed and that the railroad
docs not intend to maintain the old
wooden bridge near the new over-pass
once the new bridge is opened to
traffic.

STATE SENATOR Prescott.
accuses Governor Nice Of what
amounts to bad faith in the hand
Ing of the Civil Service Bill for
montgomery County. Prescott says
the bill, originally FRAMED by Joe
Contrell and calling for action in
1887, was later changed to become
'eHective in 1889. Our State Sena-
tor claims Nice, or someone, after
me bill left the Senate, changed the
gate back to 1887. Prescott made
fhe change in ink with the per-
mission of the legislative technical
expert, DR.. Flack), he reports. So
tne whole thing hinges on such an
therwise harmless object as an
eraser.
