RUSSELL P. Smith HEADS
FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION
Popular President of Rescue Fire
Company Elected President of The
Maryland State Volunteer Fire.
mems Association.

Mr.. Russell P. Smith, president of
Rescue Fire Company, of this city,
was elected president of the State
Wide Organization of Volunteer Fire
men, yesterday at the annual election
of officers held in connection with
the annual convention of the State
Firemen, in session at Havre de
Grace, winning by one majority over
John ]. Baumgartner, of Lauraville,
Baltimore county, the vote being 108
to LOT.
1t is very gratifying to know that
Mr.. Smith won by sheer popularity,
as from the indications in the fight,
what is known as the Old Guard, or
organization in the Ffremen's Asso-
citation, was against him. There was,
however, nothing personal in the
fight which they made against him,
as he has always been a regular of
regulars, but the majority of the
leaders seemed to think that he
should stand back and wait one more
year before getting into the fight. Mr..
Smith and his friends thought diff
erently, and made canvass among
the delegates to the Convention and
found that they had votes enough,
with which to win.
The contest was probably the clos
est in the history of the organization,
as is shown by the final vote, and for
sometime it looked as if Mr.. Smith
could not win, as large majority OF
the leaders of the Association were
against him, but leaving the leaders
to do as they pleased, Mr.. Smith and
his friends went to work among the
delegates and when the nnal vote
came it was found that they had lin
ed up enough to win, although with
only one vote to spare.
Other officers selected were Will
liam Weagly, of Westminster, as
Secretary of the Association, Mr..
Weagly defeating J. Hall White, of
Easton. Stevenson, of Iona
coming, was reelected Treasurer.
The members of Rescue Fire Com
pany, who left ON the truck, are ex-
pected home this evening, while 9TH
er members will likely get home to-
morrow, that is, those who have not
already come. All of the members
of the local company were disap-
pointed that Chief Edward l.. Bran
BILE, of this city, should be unable to
participate in the Convention, he
being prevented from doing so on
, account of illness that developed on
the trip, which illness necessitated
his immediate return home, after
spending the day in the hospital al
Havre de Grace. His many friends
will be pleased to know that his con
} dition is very much improved since
returning home.

Al conference between representatives Of
French and German labor unions, held during
the summer OF 1919. the French fatty asked
the Germans II they would, In event OF war

Germans declined 20 answer. When war came.

Again the Same Old Story.

BY throwing his hat into the ring for the
democrats gubernAtorial nomination, Brother
Charley" Bryan raises one question entirely
aside from the issues promulgated in his plat
form. For. be it remembered that Brother
Charley" lie right now mayor OF lincoln, having
been elected TO that office last spring for a
term OF years, with some very definite promises
Of the reforms he would accomplish II invested
with that position by his fellow townsmen. The
question is, What are his obligations as mayor
of Lncoln7 or. in other words, is Il a square
deal for him to take that Job and attempt to
use It as a stepping stone to the governorship
in disregard of the terms OF the contract he
voluntarily assumed when he sought election
as mayor?
OF course, every one reallzes-we do, al
any rate--that this il not a novel situation in
American politics The same identical condi-
ton was presented when the mayor OF Omaha
was nominated for governor on the democratic
ticket, and again when the general manager OF
our water works was nominated on the repub-
lican ticket, both OF them holding onto their fat
salaried Jobs while chasing votes for further
preferment. Perhaps nothing different was
to be expected from Mayor Jim" because he
never posed as a reformer, but Brother
Charley" as mayor OF Lincoln and as close
relative OF Brother William, is supposed 10 be
governed by higher principles of unselfish
fidelity to duty. Tho only excuse he can offer
II the old one, they all do It," which, obvi-
ously. in this case, is IAN excuse as is an ex-
