have just been informed of
my nomination for County Commission
err, by the Republican Convention which
met in Snow Hill yesterday. This was
done without my authority or knowledge
and in order that may not be misun-
derstood by my friends throughout the
county, | desire to state in your paper
this week that as Democrat certain

that have to-day addressed letter
to the Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee for this coun-
ty, absolutely refusing the use of my
name on the Republican ticket.

A movement has been instituted to
have an encampment of amateur oars
men across SinepuXent bay next sum
mer. The probable situation will be
the farm upon which are located the
golf links and clubhouse II will be an
ideal spot and will be Of easy access to
and from Ocean City. as the bay is but
about half mile wide at this point.
1t is proposed to confine the encamp-
ment to clubs belonging to the National
Association of Amateur Oarsman.
Streets will be laid out and named after
the clubs participating and occupying
them. There is reason to believe that
at least 90 prominent clubs will go in
camp. and that upward of % will be
well represented by individual members.
making fully 500 oarsmen in camp.
The proposition has been submitted to
some influential clubmen in Washington
and Baltimore, all of whom are enthu-
siastic over the project and promise
their hearty support. They say that
the encampment can be made success
if it be soon decided upon and an active
canvass of the clubs be made during
the winter and spring months, so mem
bers can arrange to spend their summer
vacations in camp.
When the encampment is positively
decided upon an aggressive effort will
also be made to have the annual regatta
of the association fixed for Sinepuxent
bay at the time of the encampment.
which would cover a period of several
weeks before and after the regatta.
Expert oarsmen who have seen Sine
puxent bay at Ocean City pronounce il
ms one of the finest courses for sculling
and rowing in America. A course as
straight as an arrow can be had for
miles, and in breadth sufficient for half
a dozen eights. Ii is rare. indeed. that
the water is too rough for she'll
BY careful estimate it is calculated
that at least $1,000 excursionists would
be taken 10 Ocean City on account of
the annual regatta alone, not consider
ing the progress of the camp. Upon
ordinary excursion days this summer
there have been between ). 900 and 6, 900.
and with no special attraction.
The men who have undertaken this
encampment and regatta idea mean to
push right ahead and win out. Corre-
spondence has already begun with sever
al of the leading spirits of the National
Association Of Amateur Oarsmen. and
il these approve the proposition. then a
canvass of the clubs will be started and
kept up to a successful ending. In the
meantime detailed plans are being for
INFLATED for presentation To clubs and
individuals.
The permanent residents at Ocean
City have taken ON new life since the
advent of the Ocean City Development
Company. which evidently means to be-
come ali that its name implies. for some
of its officers have promised hearty
and substantial support TO the proposed
encampment and several other good
projects for next season. Ocean City
has been lacking in healthy. clean
amusement. such as the camp and re-
gatta will afford.

of the regulation of railroad rates under
government control.
Proposed Law Must Be Sound.

'Any act which shall have the desired eff
feet must be substantitively sound. 1t Is
not enough that the powers of the inter-
state commerce commission be increased.
That body might be endowed with author
ity that covered everything in the railroad
question from the regulation of rates to the
disposition of rolling stock, and yet it's
hands would be tied effectively as if the
rope had been used with intent. After the
substantive purpose of the act has been
accomplished, the statute rules of conduct
must provide fer every contingency. The
framing of such legislation will be her
culean task, and yet it would be better TO
have sound basis in the beginning than
to start haphazard and become involved in
a legal tangle that two decades would not
serve to unravel.
Whatever rate regulation law Is passed.
ii Is safe TO say 1t will go before the Su-
preme Court for review. If 1t is not to be
resolved into it's original elements 1t must
be substantitlvely sound and it must be
Enthusiastically effective. l believe that
the deep consideration that is now being
given to the question will result in more at
tention being devoted to this heretofore APP
parently neglected but al-important phase
of the situation"
