ers. and about 100 farmers and taxpayers

Of the citizens as 10 the construction Of
a State highway in this county. out OF
the funds appropriated by the new road
law passed at the last session Of the leg
islature.
Gov. Crothers opened the meeting, stat
ing that Anne Arunders share would be
$4,000. and that the commission, after
hearing the views Of the farmers. would
select the route that would accommodate
the greatest number Of people.
The taxpayers entered into the discus
sion with interest. and the preponderance
OF sentiment favored the construction OF
the road along the route laid down
number Of years ago for the Drum Point
Railroad.
The general impression Is that this Will
be the route chosen. II IS regarded as
the most satisfactory under the scope
Of the proposed road improvements. since
Il passes along the backbone" Of the
county. II begins at Owens Station. at
the juncture Of Anne Arundel and Cal
vert counties. and runs almost in a direct
line TO Baltimore, passing around the
head Of the Severn River by way Of NIL

strongly advocated the Baltimore end

TAFT HAS 600.
Continued from page One.

1t is expected that the scenes will be the
most stirring ever witnessed in a ma
tional convention.
Veteran Republicans who opposed Taft
but who have accepted the Presidents
choice because they couldn't help them
selves, are now looking about for some
one 20 take second place and Save the
ticket"
They have always had Hughes in mind.
as have the Taft people, as the strongest
man who could be selected. When the
news Of the governors victory over tho
race-track gamblers was reported here
yesterday. hardly an hour elapsed before
the groups Of politicians were all talking
Hughes. 1t came direct from some OF
the Taft managers.
In Need of "a Moral Issue.
I'VE need Hughes" as one old-time Re-
publican put IT, I'VE need the strength
he will bring 10 the ticket. He has Just
won a great victory in his own State on
mora! Issue, and moral issue Is what
the Republican party needs in the nation
this year. The Republican party has
never gone TO the people and won without
championing some cause that appealed
haven't got such a cause this year.
Hughes hold is with the people. He de-
rives his power and strength direct from
the voters. This is not true OF Taft. nor
Of any Of the men who have been men
toned as the probable selection for the
Vice Presidency. 1 may be unduly de-
pressed after watching the telephone sys-
TEN working here for a week. but I be-
lieve now that Hughes is the only man
who can save the ticket from defeat this
year"
This talk about what must be done TO
win the election comes rather late, ex-
perienced politicians say. 1T is easy
enough to nominate a man for the Pres
idency by order, and with a thorough ma
chine organization, but you can't elect
national ticket by imperial rescript," is
the substance Of to-day's talk.
Wonder what the delegates 20 the con-
vention will say and do when they get
here and find that the whole job has been
finished on paper" is another frequent
comment.
John Hays Hammond arrived to-day
and opened headquarters in the Audi
torium Annex.
The booms officially registered 10 date
are those OF Taft, Cannon, Fairbanks,

custodians are all ready to welcome the
