July "a, 1899
Monday mornings Sun carried a
story in which 1t was said that Mr.
Straughn Lloyd had openly support
ed Mr.. O'Conor; that the attempt
to remove Mr.. Tilghman was being
engineered by Mr.. Lloyd and Mr..
George Norris, who also openly,
boldly and unblushingly worked for
and interested himself in the cleo
ton of Governor O'Conor, and for
Democratic political reward and
promises of reward. This notwith-
standing the fact that he was my ap-
pointee and drawing rather large
salary, which he still continues to
draw and which salary he will draw
for another year. There is an old
saying to the effect that the dog
In the kitchen alawys makes friends
with the new cook.
These estimable gentlemen, to-
gether with their followers, Some of
whom are disappointed at not hav-
ing received an office, some of whom
are resentful for not having been
reappointed, many of whom forget
ting past favors and material bene-
fits, quite a number who have been
gullible enough to swallow the reck-
less promises of Norris, ct al. that
they will be given political posi-
tions under Democratic Adminis-
tration, have Joined forces with
those who would attempt the re-
moval of Mr.. David Tilghman, a
young man, upright, clean-cut, in
telligent, efficient, and ever loyal to
the interests of the Republican
Party
These characteristics may be true
to life, but nevertheless do some
what shake ones faith in humanity
and discover to the world ingrati-
tude in it's meanest form. Person
ally could hardly expect any as
sistance from this destructive ele-
ment, and it naturally follows that
| am not the least bit concerned as
to what they have done or shall do.
Their attitude cannot possibly make
the slightest difference to me inso-
far as that which / personally shall
or shall not do, nor do believe
that the majority of the voters OF
the Republican Party would ever
care to follow such leadership which
has endeavored to develop through
Party treachery.
Insofar as l am concerned / shall
not continue this publicity, because
it can have but two results: First,
it will only serve the desires of
those above described to further
spread propaganda of Party disloy-
atty and second, will tend to seri-
ously affect the Republican Party in
the State of Maryland.
In November last year l pOlled
over 10000 more votes than l re-
ceived in November 1884. was fac
ed with approximately 100000 more
Democratics than faced in 1884.
certainly was met with financial sup
port of the Democratic Party great
er than it had ever received in the
history of Maryland, and l ran many
thousand votes ahead of my collea-

of careful consideration by the
clean, decent, fairminded Repub-
licans of the State of Maryland.

STRICKEN WHILE FIGHTING
GRASS FIRE

John E. Bonner, IS, farmer Of
Elk Neck, who had been missing
from his home since Monday night,
was found dead in a sedge grass
field on his farm Tuesday evening.
He left home to fight a grass fire,

died. His hand still clutched bush
and grass had burned up to within
few feet of his body on all sides
and portion of his shirt had been
burned.
The Elkton Fire Company fought
the blaze, but none of the firemen
reported having seen Bonner. He is

that will receive the first attention

the former law giving the Republi-

SEARS SPENT $26,56O
FOR ADVERTISING In '3S
CONTINUED from First Psse)

While the cOmpany's 1888 newspa-
per expenditures dropped S.4 per
cent below 1897. it il the second lar
gest amount ever expended by Sears
for this express purpose Total line
age showed drop of ST. per cent
There is nothing particularly
significant about this decline in
Sears newspaper expenditures" ex-
planned Mr.. Ulrich.
1T is no secret that for the first
nine months of 1898 our total sales
shOwed marked decline-one
month of Is per cent--in compari-
son with the previous year Because
of this abrupt falling off of business
many of our retail stores were fore
ed to curtail their advertising ex-
pendtures.
However. a year ago this fall
there was a change for the better
and by the close of 1888 Sears was
buying more advertising space than
ever before
Mr. Ulrich said that in a preface
to the advertising report DR.. Boris
Emmet. Sears retail merchandise
manager. did not mince words in ex-
planning why the company's officials
ire strong advocates of newspaper
advertising.
"Of course we are fully aware
that there are other advertising
mediums which conceivably could
do splendid job for Sears" said DR.,
Emmet. Yet we have always
achieved unusually fine results
through a generous use of newspa-
per space and we are reluctant to
curtail our expenditures in. this di-
rection.
From the time the company first
entered the retail field in 1925 we
have found the newspaper most
satisfactory advertising medium. as
evidenced by our expenditures. With
in five years after the opening Of
our first store our annual newspa-
per expenditures had passed the five
million mark and for the past five
years. 1884 to 1888, our expenditures
have averaged over ten million dol
lars annually.
I'VE feel that the men who guided
the destiny of our retail system
through its formative stage showed
foresight and good business judg-
ment in their liberal use Of newspa-
per space. And now that our retail
system has reached maturity we see
no reason for discontinuing this pol
