Glen Echo Park.

One very potent reason for the high
class of patronage that Glen Echo Park
enjoys is the fact that the best of order is
maintained no rowdyism or Objectionable
conduct being tolerated, with the result
that only the better element cares to visit
the resort regularly.
In the dancing pavilion the ban has
been placed on the "trOtters" and "rageers"
and the new floor manager. Maury Wolf.
will allow none of the Objectionable dancing
that certain elements Of the modern school
consider permissible.
Glen Echo's popularity as an outing place
is rapidly increasing. and scarce day
during the next few weeks but has its
special outing scheduled. Possibly the
largest Of these is that Of the Royal Area
mum on Monday. June 23. which promises
to be one Of the biggest days of the sea-
son. A special program has been arranged
and there will be something doing every
minute. The big event comes at $50 in
the afternoon, when two companies Of the
District National Guard compete for sill
yer cup offered by the park company. An
other feature will be the championship ball
Dame on the Glen Echo diamond.
With the new gyroplane added to the
long list Of attractions, Glen Echo offers
every inducement to amusement seekers
and more delightful form Of recreation
during the hot weather is hard to imagine
Admission is always free and free mo-
ton pictures are daily Offering.
On Sundays the special drawing card is
the series Of concerts by the Soldiers Home
band, under the direction Of John S. M
Zimmerman. possibly the best-known band
leader in this section.

ty, the political destinies of which

| is supreme, candidates are being

mary plan for the local tickets and
also for delegates to the State con-
| vention. In the two counties NAM
ed above, for reasons best known

tests only for the nominations Of
Sheriff and County Commissioners.
There are two candidates for th
first named position, George
Sherman and Thomas J. Holden

nization has stated to these candF
dates that it will absolutely keep
hands off of the contest, putting
the matter fairly and squarely up
to the Democratic voters of thu
county to make the selection. BOtf,
candidates have been hustling for
votes, and each is reported to be
confident that when the polls are
counted this evening he will be the
winner
For County Commissioner it Isl
reported that the organization Is.
supporting Mr.. James G.. Mears, Of
Linkwood district, although the 9th
er two candidates, Messrs. Daniel
J. Wiley, of Drawbridge,a and JOS
E. Phillips, of Salem, state that
they have received assurances sOf
support from many persons connecs
ted with the organization,and that
in addition to this, in the canvas
which they have made of different
sections of the county, they have
met many voters who have stated
that they would go to the polls
and vote for them.
