LETTERS
To the people of Prince Georges Coun-
ty and Every Candidate for Public

To the people of Prince Georges Coun-
ty and Every Candidate for Public
Office:
Some time in August the people OF
Prince Georges County will be called
upon to select in primary lelectlon
various candidates for public office,
notably candidates for the State Sen
ate and House of Delegates. 1t is
needless to say that the men noml-
mated for these positions, should pos
sess ability and character Of the high
est order, for those elected to these
offices must make laws for our people.
There are number of matters of
legislation affecting Prince George
County that will be especially called
to their attention, of which the most
important is some legislation looking
to correction of the present intolera-
BILE conditions in Bladensburg and
Chillum Districts.
1t has been a matter of common
knowledge for years that certain liquor
dealers in these two districts have been
openly and defantly violating the law
and little or no attempt has been made
by the proper officials, except Judge
Beall, to enforce the law against them
for reasons that are known TO almost
everyone. ;.
The people of these and surrounding
districts have now determined to have
enacted by the next legislature OF
Maryland a law prohibiting absolutely
the sale of intoxicating liquors in Hy-
attsville, Bladensburg, and Chlllum
Districts and every candidate for the
legislature must state in no uncertain
terms his position on this proposed legls--
lation. l may be candid and say that
no candidate for the legislature who
takes an uncertain position upon this
question may expect the support of the
decent and law-abiding citizens of
Prince Georges County.
Every law-abiding saloon keeper in
the County should support this move
ment as one in the interest of the
properly conducted saloon and for the
further reason that this legislation will
lessen the present feeling against the
liquor business in the County.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS

During the past few days Gen
eral Murray Vandiver, Chair
man of the Democratic State
Central Committee, has confer
red with a number of prominent
and leading Democrats in the
State regarding the approaching
Campaign. Prior to issuing a
call for a conference of party

advisable to confer with the
different city and county leaders
regarding the situation and also
to get their views on what

Vandiver declares he has found
the outlook exceptionally bright.
From every Democrat whom he
has consulted he has received
most encouraging reports. He
has, also, found widespread
sentiment for a general confer
encs to be held prior to the
primary election. While the
General has asserted that he
does not see any danger ahead
for the party's nominees, he
and his friends believe that the
Democrats should not lose any
opportunity in perfecting their
organization in every voting pre-
cinct in the State. This can be
done if the party workers and
leaders are called together. ex-
change their views and outline
a full and complete plan of action.
Before making any definite
statement, it is General Van
divers intention to consult with
a number of very prominent
party leaders and get, their
views. lis generally believed
