the most enjoyable spiritual feasts

The occasion of a visit from two of
the Apostles. the installation of a new
president, and reorganization Of the
entire Stake, of course aroused all
classes. The general Priesthood and
conference meetings We're without
doubt the most enthusiastic ever en-
Joyed, and each ward and branch
meeting in turn was success.
Sunday night during our conference
we reorganiZed the Thatcher ward. Our
aged brother Samuel Clnrdge, so long

good set of officers in all the other de

attended to sealings. 1t will be re-

ROCKVILLE, November q 1925.
With the republican meeting at the Opera

sixth congressional district closes. The
campaign during its entire length mas been
rcted as one of the quietest ever known I'm
of both parties nave been held almost
nightly for the past two or three weeks.
with moderate attendance. there appears to
be lack of the oid-tine enthusiasm. and
the opinion generally prevails that a ligh.
vote viii he cast. The most effective work
done by the republicans has been in secur-
ing an increase of the vote of that party on
the registration lists. while the democrats
Appear to have been lukewarm in this i'm
portant matter
Since the election of the last Maryland leg
iSl2ture and the defeat of Senator German
for Reelection the feeling between the two
wings Of the democratic party in this coun-
T. appeared to have quieted Gown, but the
appearance OF the senator on the stump this
year seeas 10 have revived the bitter feel
ing again. and while his recent speech on
the eastern shore may have a good effect
in that locality. II does not look like IL
would have the same effect in the sixth dis
trict. While the question of free coinage of
silver has been given to a large extent a
secondary position in the democratic cam
paign. many of the business men of the
party in this locality still look upon the
question as a living and important one
and, Il is generally believed, will quietly
give their support 10 the cause of the gold
standard.
Should there be small turnout at the
election 1t is thought the republicans will
be the gamers.
