WRECK NEAR OAKLAND.
Freight Cars Became Derailed and
Tear Up Both Trachs of the B. q o.

Last Saturday night about nine O. clock
an eastbound freight train, while ap-
preaching the Big Youghiogheny River
bridge, a mile and a-half west of town,
was wrecked, caused by large steel
car, loaded with coal, becoming derail-
ed.
The derailed car dropped down upon
the ties of the eastbuund track and in
some manner was thrown across to the
opposite track, tearing both tracks up
for distance of several hundred feet
The wrecking crew was called from
Keyser and after working for several
hours the obstruction was cleared away
any traffic resumed.
Train No. /, due here at 1929 in the
evening, was held at the Oakland sta
ton several hours before it could pro-
coed on its westward journey. All
other trains were likewise delayed.

DO NOT LIKE SMITHS METHOD
emocrats Dissatisfied at Being ig-
> nored in the Party Councils.

The democratic sparty in Maryland is
in mighty bad shape today There are
fractional differences in many parts of
the state and an especially bitter fight
is eng waged in Dorchester county,
which is on the eastern shore, the
stronghold of the state boss, Senator
Smith. Much comment has been arous-
ed over the fact that Senator Smith has
not taken a hand in the row and effected
a compromise. The effect of the fight
will be to encourage the factional con-
tests all over the state, as there is much
dissatisfaction prevailing with the exist
ing order oSthings in many of the coun-
ties. Senator Smith has failed to de-
yelop those elements of leadership
which count for success. He lacks tact
and fails 10 grasp opportunities !to ce-
ment the party. And as result signs
of disintegration IN the new machine
are already apparent. The democratic
nominees will have hard fight to win
this year, because the organization is
not a compact, harmonious working
body Too little attention has been
paid to the small leaders, the men who
do the actual work of vote getting on
elect On ca These little local hCsees
have come to feel that they are being
treated like nerd of sheep and they
naturally resent it. The circle Of
Smiths advisers Is very charmed and
select one and only few can get the
ear of the big boss. Hence the real
workers have become disgruntled and
are taking little or no interest in the
political game
The condition wherein the party will
have its greatest effect upon the pet
scheme of the Smith machine the dis
franchisement amendment The party
bosses within the charmed circle have
set their heart upon the ratification of
this measure at the poll next November
and seem to have forgotten that the pie
must be made before it can be eaten.
The amendment was put through the
legislature with such ease under the
party whip that the state seems to have
forgotten that the voters of the state
have an inning coming to them. On the
qy of its passage the amendment had
lie show of being ratified at the polls
and today it seems almost a foregone
conclusion that it will be defeated by
an overwhelming majority. Against
the amendment in the campaign this
fall will be found many democrats who
have the confidence of the people and
solid and united republican party.
ltwould not cause much surprise if the
amendment went down under a MAORI
ty as heavy as that which buried the
Poe amendment several years ago, when
GOV. Warfield took his stand with the
people as against the bosses. 1t is ex-
pected that Warfield will ,again take up
he cudgels to defeat the amendment
md lead the independent democrats in
the fight.

been suggested as a candidate for the

and county commissioner. He had been
a member of the NJ. E. church since
early manhood until recently he trans
ferred his membership to the U. B.

dition and the near proximity OF the
latter church to his residence. He held
the positions of class leader and Sunday

Relative to the visit Of the Commissin
to Oakland the following letter is self
| explanatory:
To the Editor of The Republican.
Under the provisions of the State
Highway Bill passed by the late legisla-
ture, the Highway Commission, lately
appointed by the Governor, is empower
ed to select, build and maintain a system
Of State Highways, at state expense
without cost to the counties.
In this county we are making every
effort to have the National Road from
Cumberland west, and the Baltimore
Pike, from Cumberland east made part
of this system. If this is done, it will
insure the substantial rebuilding and
permanent maintenance of those import
ant thOroughtares.
1t would be a splendid thing for
Garrett county, if, in addition to the
National Road, main road leading from
it to Oakland could also be included in
this State system, as that would aid in
connecting the county seats of Garrett
and Allegany by first-class. modern
highway, and giving the farming dis
tricts Of both counties an easy route to
market.
The Highway Bill carries an appro-
priation of s., 600, 600 which is to be ex-
pended within seven years. This
amount of money will build many miles
OF tirst-class road, and our end of the
State is entitled to some of it.
The Highway Commission, all of
whom are Eastern Maryland men, are
going to hold public meeting in Oak
land on Wednesday, June 3. to get the
sentiment of Garrett comfy people on
this most important subject.
They will have a similar meeting in
Cumberland the day to hear from
Allegany county.
The Oakland meeting will be at 8 80 A.
NJ. The one in Cumberland is to be
at or 2 P. NJ.
1t behooveS US to hustle if we want to
get our share of the road work and now
is our time to act, as this is the only
opportunity to meet these men before
they make their selection of roads to be
adopted by the state.
Hoping that you and your neighbors
will impress the Importance of prompt

VISIBLE WHEAT
MILLIONS SHORT
WORLDS SUPPLY GROWING LESS
-ARGENTINE A HEAVY EX-
PORTER.

The West Coast Trade, commenting
on the wheat situation this week says:
Very little interest centers in the
local wheat market at present. There
has been a decidedly weak undertone
manifested of late in both eastern and
European centers. and, but for the fact
that available supplies have been so
reduced as to be very little above the
normal local requirements for the bal
ance of the season. it is probable that
further reductions in quotations would

As it is. there is little or no wheat
appearing in the interior, ana such wants
as develop are being supplied at former

stem. but there is less premium offered
by the mills than was the case a few
weeks ago. and the limit is within one

The enormous exports of wheat from

from this country and Canada since the
turn of the year is reflected in the re-
turns OF available supplies which for
March | totaled 91.60O,00 bushels for
European ports, as compared with TO-
1000 bushels on February 1. and So
600. 900 bushels on March 1 a year ago.
To offset this there is a decided
shortage in the stocks. both visible ana
