DEMOCRATS MEET TUESDAY
Indications Point To A Rousing Good
Meeting For Rays Candidacy

Plans are about completed for a
rousing big Democratic mass-m meeting
on next Tuesday night to endorse the
candidacy of James Enos Ray, Jr.. as
the successor of Sydney E. Mudd in
the House of Representatives.
Dr. George Wells. the party lead
er in Anne Arundel, has issued call
for the Democrats and ladies who are
interested in the questions of the day,
and place will be reserved in the
Court House, where the meeting will
be held, for the accommodation of
the members of the fair sex. On ac-
count of the large number of dusky
woud-be politicians who attended
the recent Republican meeting, the
few ladies who attended were soon
forced to vacate.
An unusually strong card of speak
ers has been listed for the meeting,
which will begin at s O'Clock. In
addition to Mr.. Ray, the party stand
ard bearer, addresses will be made
by Governor Crothers, Attorney-Gen-
eral Isaac Lobe Straus and Mr.. Philip
d. David. Between the speeches
music will be furnished by the Naval
Academy Band.

VAUDEVILLE MAKES HIT
Large Audience In Spite OF Rain-LiIIian
MAYNARD Does Dainty Singing Mum.

An extra act of vaudeville was
given at the Colonial Theatre last
night, and will be repeated again
Saturday night.
Lillian Maynard. pretty and dash
ing young lady, sang what was term
ed dainty songs by a dainty singer.
The young lady fully lived up to the
billing and proved worthy of the
hearty applause she received. Her
best song was "I'm Looking for a
Sweetheart. Miss Maynard does not
resort to risque or the suggestive, her
work is cleancut and would go well
with any intelligent audience.
Phil. Brown is another act offered.
Brown is a distinct character man,
who offers representations of most
everything but a negro. He starts
off with Dutch makeup and ends
with Chinese outfit.
The changes are made in view of
the audience. Browns act is a relief
from the customary monologist. His
best character is the Jew. He gave
good satisfaction. There was an un-
usually good display of pictures, one
in particular, called Mother. -
Lyman Howe will pay a matinee to-
day and night performance. Satur-
day will be the last night of Miss
Maynard and Phil. Brown with new
reels of pictures.

WESTERN RESERVES
MiddieS Will Have Light Work Only
This Afternoon In Final Prepare.
tiOu

In preparation for one of the really
big games of their schedule tomor-
row when they try conclusions with
the speedy and classy bunch from
Western Reserve of Cleveland, Ohio.
the middies will have but light work
at pratice this afternoon.
While there was some indication of
individual improvement on the part
of number of the members of the
Naval Academy football squad yes
terday afternoon crippled backfield
was not able to gain consistently
on the second team, and though
there was no score the scrubs had
the better of a stiff twenty-minute
scrimmage.
BY variety of forward pass plays
and also good fortune in recovering
fumbles, the second team kept the
regulars fighting on their own
ground for nearly the whole of the
scrimmage period. Clay renamed out
of the game on account of a bad side
and Cochrane and Dalton both retired
on account of injuries. Rodes did the
best ground gaining for the first team
and as he is also strong defensive
player he looks like a fixture at full
back.
On the scrub team Anderson, cen
tire, and Davis, left tackle, distin-
guished themselves for the stiff defen-
sive work and Anderson recovered
the ball twice on fumbles. Little
Shaw ran the team eXcellently at
quarterback and made substantial
gains, running from his own position
and after receiving punts.

DELEGATES RETURNED
Annapolis Only Gets One Office Owing
To Lateness OF Arrival

The committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce as delegates
to the convention at Cambridge have
returned. bringing back one of the
officers of the ASSOCIATION and it was
only after hard and conscientious
work on the part of these delegates
that the position in the executive
committee was received.
Due to a Misrepresentation as to the
time of opening the session, the del
egates arrived too late to anticipate
in the organization of the association
and upon arrival found that all the
Offices were filled except one and that
one allotted to Baltimore. With that
never-say- spirit an increase in the
executive was secured and John dep.
Douw was elected to the position.
Owing to the courtesy of Cover
nor Crothers the delegation from
Annapolis and Baltimore enjoyed
a delightful ride across the bay,
saving the committee a most dis
agreeable and long ride which would
have been necessary otherwise.
Due to the crowded conditions of
the hotels, the Mayor of our fair
city had to sleep on cot which
had as a mattress horse blanket,
fortunately previously unused. Ye
landlord evidently desired things to
be appropriate. what could be more
fitting than a horse blanket for a
Mayor (mare) only think of the
consequences had we had an under
taker along.
