Correspondent Commends Candidates

To the Editor of The Republican:
l have been very much gratifed at the
stand which some of our candidates for
the House of Delegates are taking on
the liquor question. This is a vital and
burning question and cannot be ignored.
Up to the present time four candidates
have made formal declarations. No
one can make any mistake in voting for
one of them. They are Mr.. Weimer,
Mr.. Selby, Mr.. Long and Mr.. Lawton.
Will the other candidates add their
names to the list?

rlr. E. A. Weimer's Candidacy.

To the Editor of The Republican:
On August 20 the people of Garrett
county, for the first time in its history,
will have the opportunity of directly
choosing candidates for public Office.
1t is the duty of every good citizen to
attend the primaries and cast his vote
for the very best men, among the whole
number, who have presented themselves
for the suffrage of the people.
Republicans have an opportunity to
show their wisdom and at the same
time upheld the good name of our coun-
ty by voting for good men only at this
primary.
Among those who aspire to repre-
sent US in the Legislature not one
stands higher than Mr.. E. A. Weimer,
of District No. 7.
Since Mr.. Weimer took up his home
in Oakland we have had ample oppor-
tunity to judge of his qualifications and
fitness for public position, and the more
the people see of him the frmer becomes
their belief that he is in every way
fitted to honestly, and with ability and
credit, not only to himself but the coun-
tv as well, represent US in the legisla-
ture.
Let US support him to a man, and
with other good men as his colleagues,
we shall have no cause to regret our
choice or ever hang our heads in shame
for what we have done.

CAN THIS RECORD BE EXCELLED?
Average Yield of Wheat on Twelve
Acre Field More Than 81 Bushels.

Garrett county can and does grow
everything worth while; moreover she
grows everything with a larger yield
per acre than is grown anywhere else
IN the country, especially cereals.
AS a proof of this proposition we
point with commendable pride to the
yield of wheat on a twelve acre field
harvested at the proper time and thresh-
ed one. day last week on the farm of
State Senator Harvey j. Speicher at
Accident, when the unprecedented yield
of 446 bushels or 366 bushels per acre
was the result.
Garrett county lays down to no other
portion of the whole country when it
comes to good crops, large yields, the
best people and the finest of everything !!

ANOTHER thing that the direct pri-
mary.has done is to get men who have
been leaders of the dominant party in
this State to speak right out and de-
nounce the, things that are wrong in
party management. We will be on the
road to real and lasting reform when
politicians understand that their mis-
conduct is not going to pass unrebuked
by their own political associates.

OCEAN SUBSIDY BILL
IS ORDERED REPORTED
Little Chance, However, That
House Will Act on 1t at
This Session.

The Senate ocean mail subsidy bill
amended SO that 1t will provide for lines
to South America and Australia, but
striking out subsidies for lines to China
Japan and the. Philippines. was ordered
favorably reported today from the House
committee on post offices.
The vote was to O. and even with
this narrow margin for the bill Messrs
Lowden of Illinois and Dodds of Mich
igan reserved the right TO vote against
II on the floor of the House. Had il not
been for the votes of the two members
named the bill could not have been re-
ported at all. as the democratic members
stood solidly against it, and Mr.. Stafford
Of Wisconsin voted with them.
The bill will not be reported until next
Monday, so that there will be little op-
portunity for the House TO act upon IL.
As the Senate passed il only on ii tie
vote and the House committee amend
ments would necessitate a conference, the
whole subject Is expected to go over 10
the next Congress.
The bill as amended today provides for
subsidy pay for steamship lines on routes
to South America, south OF the equator
and to Australasia at not exceeding -
per mile on the outward voyage in Sec
ond-c vessels and not exceeding SO on
third class vessels,

BILL THREATENS FUNDS
Of HUMANE SOCIETY
Motion in Senate to Recon-
slider Vote on Measure to
Retire Veterans.

A motion to reconsider the vote by
which the Senate passed the bill for
the establishment Of new system for
the retirement of veteran and disabled
fremen and policemen was entered to-
day by Senator Gallinger.
1t has been discovered that the bill,
in the form in which it passed the Sem
ate. threatened the efficiency of the
Humane Society. That organization re-
ceives, as it's main financial support,
the fines and forfeitures Of collateral
in the Police Court In cases CT violations
of the cruelty to animals regulations.
Under the bill for the police and fire.
mems relief fund however. it is provided
that "aIl fines and forfeitures paid into
the Police Court Of the District Of Co
l,1mbia" shall be paid into the fund. When
the bill was considered by the Senate Dis
trict committee and also by the Senate,
the effect of that provision on the re-
cefpts of the Humane Society was over
looked It was discovered at the District
building, however. and the attention of
the committee called to 1t. That led to
the action by Senator Gallinger today.
An amendment to the District appro-
priation bill made by the Senate may
prevent the recurring deficiencies in the
relief fund for the police and fire de-
partments, and that amendment may be
all the legislation on the subject passed
at this session. 1t simply makes avail
able for the fund receipts from all IL
censes. except liquor licenses.
