DAZZLING VOTERS
BY ELECTRIC SIGN

Maryland Democrats are becoming en-
thusiastic about their chances TO carry
the state, and are thinking up all kinds
Of unique tricks TO beguile the innocent
voter. They were taken aback recently
by Representative Wachuers enterprise
ia exhibiting an electric talking sign
in front of his headquarters in Baiu
more and al once gave orders for beat
ing it.
i'm this they have succeeded by hay
ing a sign made with the names of
Parker, Davis. and Meyer, the last
named the Third district candidate for
Congress. II is of unusual size, twenty
four feet square, and is placed on the
top OF the high shot tower In East Hal-
timore. The name Of Parker APPEARS
at the top with Davis in the center auC
Meyer al the bottom
Each letter used is five feet tail. Tt
is the haHdsomesL and most elaborate
electrical continuance Of its kind ever
seen In Baltimore. and is expected by
the party people 10 have the effect of
stimulating interest in the Democratic
ticket and candidates throughout the
Third Congress district. Every night
from now until the election the ilIumni-
