Mr.. Gordy's hat into the ring. Some
one might ask why Mr.. Gordy's
chances might not be also enhanced
by the presence of the other three.
He might profit by split as we'll as
one of the other three. Here's what
Mr.. O'Conor said:
Il consider the entry of Mr.. Gordy
very favorable development for me- "
Senator Sasscer said:
Ever since it was first reported
that Mr.. Gordy was considering can
didacy have felt that his entry would
operate perfectly to advance my
chance. One result of Mr.. Gordy's
entry is that it definitely breaks up
the claim that any candidate has a
majority prior to the convention. In
convention not foreclosed for any
candidate 1 feel confident of winning
the nomination"
There's just one thing to be said
about Mr.. Gordy-many think he'll
poll well on the "Shore." He's an
Easetrn Shoreman, and that counts
for a great deal with the residents of
this side the Chesapeake. Even Har-
ry T. Phoebus may corral few in
consideration of his reported dwelling
place.
Everything points to heated cam
paign, and it is to be hoped that after
the battle, the several warriors will
gather their forces to hail the victor
as king, and do all they can to put
a Democratic Governor in the big
house in Annapolis.

HEALTH RECORDS
ARE NOTEWORTHY
THE PAST YEAR
These Show Interesting Figures
Relative To Increase And
Decrease Of Disease

The year 1887 went down into his
tory with some noteworthy health re-
cords to its credit.
Provisional figures assembled by
the State Department of Health and
announced by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the Department show that though
there was an increase in the total
number of cases of diphtheria report
ed in the State, there were fewer
cases in the counties than in 1886.
Sixteen of the twenty-three counties
of the State came through the year
without any deaths from diphtheria
charged against them and in seven
of the sixteen there were no cases of
the disease reported. The seven with
neither cases nor deaths were Allie

gany. Carroll, Cecil, Kent, Queer
Anne's, Talbot and Worcester. 1ht
additional counties in which there
were no deaths from diphtheria were
Calvert, Caroline, Charles, Dorchester
Garrett, Howard, Montgomery, ot
Mary's and Somerset.
Mothers throughout the State, are
urged, DR.. Riley said, to have thelr
babies protected against dlphtnerla'
before they are a year old, and GER
tainly before they are old enough TO
90 to school. The mothers are ad-
vised to go to the family doctor ana
if that is not possible to have the chill
dren immunized at the clinics arrang-
ed by the county health officer. In
practically every instance, ne SAID
when children have developed dlph-
liberia. the record has shown that they
had not been protected against the d.
sease.
Typhoid fever had less favorable
record than in 1886. There were 321
cases with 81 deaths reported in 1887
in comparison with 266 cases and II
deaths in 1896. No part of the State
was entirely free from the disease but
for eight counties-Anne Arundel,
Caroline, Hartford, Howard, Kent,
Queen Anne's, st. Mary's, Talbot-no
resident deaths from typhoid were re-
ported.
Three counties-Calvert, Caroline,
and Howard no maternal deaths
from conditions associated with child
birth. More babies were born in the
State in 1927, 636, in comparison
with 26,542 in 1886 and fewer babies
died before rounding out the first
wear of life-1, 7O4 in 1887 in comparl-
son with 1892 in 1886. In other
words, DR.. Riley said, SO babies in each
born in 1886 died before the
end of the year, and in 1887 the num-
Der of infant deaths dropped to 81
out of each thousand.
Prenatal conferences for the care
of expectant mothers have been estab-
lished. DIR. Riley said, in nearly all of
the counties. Over 1000 women at
tended these conferences vast year and
had the benefit of medical supervision
and advice and follow up nursing care.
