Declares George R. Willis
A Winning Candidate
Baltimore, Md., July S. —During
the past week there has been consid
erable talk, not only among the city
politicians, but also among visitors
from the counties, to the effect that
the Democrats from Baltimore may
line up behind Mr. George R. Willis
as their candidate for nqmination to
succeed Governor Harrington. It is
said that man; of the leading city
regulars are fatorable to Mr. Willis,
and express the opinion that he
would not only make a strong candi
date, before the people of the State,
but what is of equally great impor
taace, would make a most able and
efficient Governor should he be nom
inated and elected.
Mr. Willis is a modest and unas
suming man, and is by no means as
well known throughout thv. State
generally as he should be. he is one
of the real leaders of the bar; in
certain branches of his profession he
is above all others the leader, and. in
addition to his high position as a
lawyer, he is looked upon as one of
the most practical men of large af
fairs in Maryland. In addition to all
this, he is a man of most agreeable
personality and courteous manners,
and has the well deserved reputation
of being a loyal and steadfast friend.
Many lawyers of much less ability
and real worth are better known
than Mr. Willis, because they have
the faculty of blowing their own
horns to such an extent that the peo
ple look upon them as great men.
Mr. Willis does not blow his own
horn. He never seeks notoriety, but,
in his modest way, he has built up a
large practice, and is known to busi
ness men and men of his own pro
fession as one of the really great
lawyers of the South.
When the late Governor Crothers
was nominated in 1907, Mr. Willis
was spoken of as a possible candi
date and many favored his nomina
tion prior to the Convention. He
took no part in the discussion, and
made no effort to secure the honor.
Many believed that had he gone into
the fight then he would have won.
What his views on the subject in its
present phases may be he has not
made known, and the chances are
that he never even thought of the
matter. His friends, and people
whose judgment is of value, believe
that he would make a most excellent
candidate and an able and vigorous
Governor.
There are many indications that
the Democrats of the city will be to
gether next spring in the municipal
election, and that the party will
present a united front to the Repub
licans at that time. The signs all
point to the re-nomination of Mayor
Preston without a contest, and the
State leaders, under the advice of
Governor Harrington, will see that
the forces under their control will
support the ticket. The effect on
the fall election of defeat of Mayor
Preston by Democratic votes, would
be too hazardous, and all the Demo
crats of prominence throughout the
counties will use their influence to
keep the followers of those city lead
ers who have been training with
what is known as “The Governor’s
crowd,” in line at the polls. How
ever much they may dislike the Ma
yor, they will not be allowed to do
anything that will jeopardise the
election of a Governor in the fall- —
which they would certainly do if
they are not loyal to the city ticket
in May. No faction of the Demo
cratic party can afford to do any
thing to jeopardieze the election of
the Mayor next spring.no matter who
may be the nominee. To be disloyal
in any marked degree would result
in defeat of the State ticket in the
fall, and all the signs point to unity
of action at both elections. Mean

while no doubt there will be con
tests .at the primaries for many of
: the nominations, but it is now gen
erally understood that the primaries
will end the contests, and hose legal
; ly nominated will have a united par
ty back of them when it comes to the
great fights before the whole peo
-1 pie on election day.
j l'p to the present time hardly any
'interest seems to be taken, in any
■ j part of the State, in the congression
al elections. There will probably be .
j no contests of any moment over the
( re-nomination of the present incum
’ bants in any of the districts, and
the belief is general* that all the
gentlemen who now hold the seats ‘
at Washington as representatives of J
Maryland, will be returned for the .
ensuing term. Several gentlemen of j
• i I
more or less prominence nave been j
talked about from time to time as
probable, or possible, contestants, |
but none of them seem to have re- |
ceived any serious encouragement in j
the furtherance of their aspirations.
The disposition on all sides seems to
be to allow the present members to j
remain where they are until the con- |
elusion of the war, which all hope '
will take place before another tw(Ti
years shall have passed away.

Economical Husband.
The conversation in the lobby of a
Washington hotel turned to a subject
of war-time economy when a fitting
anecdote was related by Congressman
Porter H. Dale of Vermont.
Recently the Browns moved Into a
new house, and not liking the wall
paper In the dining room, Mrs. Brown
decided to have it repapered at her
own expense. The work was done
while Brown was at the office.
“I want you to look at the dining
room, Jimmy,” said little wlfey when
the old man returned at the dinner
hour and was proudly led into that
apartment. “How do you like It?”
“I like the paper all right,” replied
Brown, Just a little emotionally, “but
why In the world did you use paste
In putting it on?”
“Paste!” was the wondering rejoin
er of the good woman. “How else
could I have put it on?”
“You should have put It on with
tacks,” declared the economical hus
band. “You don’t suppose we are go
ing to live In this house forever, do
you?”—Philadelphia Telegraph.
Munition Brass to Cost Less.
j Perfection of a new type of electric
• melting furnace that will reduce ma
terially the cost of making brass for
munitions, devised by H. W. Gillett, a
government chemist, was announced
by the bureau of mines. Patents have
. been assigned to Secretary of the Inte
rior Lane as trustee.
Cornell university and brass manu
facturers were among those who as
, sisted during five years of develop
ment of the device. It Is intended to
supplant open crucibles in which zinc
and copper are melted by fuel heat
under present manufacturing methods.
Navy Superstition.
A visitor on a British battleship
was dining with a group of officers
when his fork accidentally struck a
class tumbler. As the glass resounded
rhe officers shouted as one man, “Hun.”
On asking for an explanation the visit
: or was told that the ringing of a glass
’ meant bad luck. One officer declared
! that on one ship he formerly com
: manded every time a glass was rung
1 a man fell overboard. This Is why
officers now cry “Hun” when a table
: accident occurs, they hoping to trans
! Jer their bad luck to the enemy.

ANNOUNCEMENT
New Milk Service
THE CAMBRIDGE CREAMERY,
j seeing the need of the people of
‘ Cambridge in obtaining a supply of
i wholesome and healthy milk, have
' decided to start a milk wagon on
i Wednesday, July 10, to serve PURE
PASTEURIZED MILK.
THIS MILK will be obtained most
ly from our Hurlock Creamery, re
• ceived in the morning, pasteurized
;as taken in, cooled and brought to
I Cambridge and bottled, and placed in
i our COLD STORAGE ROOM, ready
for delivery early next morning.
PASTEURIZED MILK is the only
kind of milk that is allowed to be
sold in Baltimore, and most other
large cities, therefore it must be
more healthy and wholesome when
treated this way, or the authorities
1 would not demand it.
The farmers around Hurlock have
the reputation of producing as fine
milk as can be had, and Mr. B. F.
Merrick, our manager of Hurlock
Creamery, has the reputation of tak
ing excellent care of his milk and
cream, and also makes fine butter.
Our prices will be 13c. per quart,
or 8 tickets for one dollar.
Bc. per pint, or 13 tickets for one
dollar.
Raw Cream, 40c. per quart, 25c.
per pint, 15c. per half pint.
We are not going to keep any
book accounts with customers, and
milk and cream will be sold for cash
or tickets only.
Everybody that has tried our ICE
CREAM says it is fine, and as we
l have a full supply of milk and
cream, with the latest up-to-date
machinery for making it, we can al
ways fill orders promptly.
Our prices are 35c. per quart, 60c.
per half gallon, $1.20 per gallon.
Call phone 171 and place your or
der for ICE CREAM and also for
milk.
