Paramount Interests.

In a statement published in the
Journal today Col. Albert W.. Sisk,
Caroline's candidate for Congress,
truly interprets popular sentiment
when he declares in unmistakable
terms for the utmost loyalty in
supporting cur great Presidents al
truistic legislative program to pro-
vide lasting relief for the people,
who have been oppressed for long
years past by beneficiaries. In his
strong and clearly-expressed declara-
ton he will be supported by the
great body OF people of this and
other counties of this district.
While there may be difference of
views as to the candidate, incident
to location, there is certainly little
division anywhere on the point of
the support of the President in
the great work he is carrying for
ward so steadily and successfully.
Another point in Col. Sisk's plat
form which will also meet with es-
pecially hearty approval of thou
ghtful men in this Congressional
district is that which touches the
vast canning industry. That line
of activity means much to thou
sands of our people, and just at
this juncture, when reforms are in
progress, it would, indeed, be help
full to the whole State, and especial
ly to the Eastern Shore, to have
at Washington a representative who
has so thorough a knowledge of the
canning business as has Col. Sisk.
No other single industry on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland APP
proaches the packing business in
it's revivifying, energizing effect
had upon trade and general bust
ness on this side of the Chesapeake
in the past quarter of century.
And every farm, every foot of land,
whether growing tomatoes, vegeta-
bles or other crops, has been very
materially enhanced in value by it.
The banks, the volume of deposits,
and the Iong-lengthened lists of
depositors are proofs positive of the
marked increase which has come to
this section since the expansion of
the packing business began num-
Der of years ago. The farms are
much more productive now than be-
fore crops for the packing house
became so general. And the pros
perity of the farm is reflected in
the advancement of nearly all of
our towns and villages, as we'll as
the improvements on every hand
throughout the countryside. In con-
trast with many other sections, par
ticularly those to the north of our
State, agriculture flourishes as it

ogether by binding ties, and
surely the prosperity of one brings
inevitably a large measure OF sue
cess to the other. When the pack
ers fare we'll the farmers are sure
to reap substantial benefits.
Let Eastern Shoremen all, there
fore, bear the well-established fact
in mind that We cannot, in any way,
more surely safeguard and extend
the splendid position we have at
tanned in the two paramount indus
tries which, so far as the Eastern
Shore is concerned, so far exceed
all others, than by electing to rep
resent us at Washington man
who has given long and Intelligent
study to them. Who on all the
Eastern Shore is so we'll qualified
for effective work in behalf OF
the things which constitute the
bulk of our business in this Com
gressional district as is Albert w.
Sisk, of Caroline county? He Is
qualified by education, experience
and natural gifts of a high order,
and he has the breadth of vision
which will guarantee at once that
all matters OF national legislation,
sure % come up continually in this
tine o. progression at the national
capital, will receive studious ami
intelligent attention.
In years past many professions
have appeared in large numbers
among the members of Congress.
This time let the farm and the
packing house have a voice from
Maryland And let all persons in
terested in farming and packing
join in leading the campaign for
Col. Sisks nomination. When the
nomination is made everyone will,
of course, join hands in the cleo
ton. Col. Sisk will, without doubt,
make a representative of the first
class, for a man of sound judgment
is he, who will be listened to in
committee room, where level heads
only ought to gather, and on the
floor of the House, where logical,
convincing speech tells Denton

Henry Siegel, whose large depart
ment stores in New York failed some
weeks ago, has been indicted with
mis- partner, Frank T. Vogel, by the
grand jury Of New York county. The
charge against them was larceny, the
making of false statements regarding
their stores, and the acceptance OF
deposits when the bank connected
with the stores was in a dangerous
condition. In connection with their
New York stores they maintained a
private bank which did large bust
ness. Money was borrowed from the
bank and used in the department
store business.
Since the failure an army OF law
yers and investigators have been try
ing to straighten out the matter. De-
positors OF New York City. whose
money Is tied up. have become bois-
ferrous. Twice a crowd OF them has
been forcibly elected from the fed

they had gone for redress. Some OF
them went so far as TO make threat

goods from the counters TO cover
