Filipino Commissioner
Denies Slavery Charge

Emphatic denial of charges by Dean
Worcester that slavery and peonage are
widespread in the Philippines has been
entered by Manuel L. Quezon, resident
commissioner from the Islands Mr..
Quezon says that such statements are
not justified, and that they have been
uttered for political effect and to stop
any movement toward Filipino inde-
pendence.
He charges Dean Wooster with ulterior
motives, asserting that Commissioner
Worcester does not want to see a change
in the present government of the Philip
pines as long as he draws a salary OF
SIS 900 a year as secretary of the in
terror and a member of the Philippine
commission.

stock of highly useless questions, and
a grim determination to track down the

HARD FIGHT OVER
STATE SENATORSH|P
Battle for Nomination on Demo-
cratic Platform in Maryland
Is Main Set-to.

HYATTSVILLE. Md. Aug. 26.-One
OF the hardest fights in the coming pri.
maries is the scrap between the organi.
zation and anti-organization wings OF
the Democratic party over the nomina.
ton for the. State senatorship. The or.
ganization candidate is William +. HoI.
mead, of Landover, present president ot
the board of county commissioners, and
his opponent is Carter Lee Bowie, OF
Collington, a son of former Gov Oder
Bowie.
The main fight hinges on the county
road law that passed through the ef.
forts of DR. Charles 4. Wells, OF
Hyattsville, while he was Senate sen.
ator from this county. and which Hol-
mead bitterly opposed This law took
the management out of the hands of the
county commissioners and placed it in
the hands of newly organized board
of road directors Bowie advocates the
law and promises to keep it on the
statute books if he is sent to the legis-
laturc.
The successful candidate at the Demo
cratic primaries will be opposed by
Francis Carmody, Republican, of Seat
Pleasant. Carmody has no opposition.
He was defeated for the Senate senate
by the late William b. Clagett, Demo
crat, several years ago.

ton, THE MICHIGAN HOTEL is the ideal place for
a weekend automobile party. The roads leading
to New London from all points are excellent.
But most important is the fact that this hotel,
within little more than two hours distance of New
York. can furnish attractive home at prices which
many people of refined tastes can afford to pay, but
who cannot afford similar luXurieS in the city of
New York, or any other large city. One not only
gets these luXurleS and comforts in New London,
and gets them at from one-half to one-third the
price but gets measure of health in the simple life
of that town and its freSh invigorang sea breezeS
that New York and Boston cannot furnish.
Moreover, the prices at which you can secure a
good home at THE MICHIGAN HOTEL are much
less than it would cost you to produce equal COM
forts and equal luXurieS and an equal grade of living
in an individual home of your own.

Yonkers is city of $4,000 people
