VOTE FOR WILLIAM n. ANDREWS
AND ELECT A
DORCHESTER Man TO CONGRESS

To the Voters Of Dorchester County
Next Tuesday, November 5th is Election Day. 1t
is your privilege and duty to go to the polls next
Tuesday and take part i'll the election of member
of the next Congress Of the United States The
ddates for this position the present Congress-
man. the Hon Jesse d. Price, of Wicomico county,
and Senator William N. Andrews, of Dorchester
county. Mr. Price is very agreeable gentleman,
personally, but he has been IN Congress several years
and in that time he has failed tc accomplish anything
Of material Importance either to Dorchester county
to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The most ac-
tive work done by Mr.. Price in the past few years
was his fight for the Salisbury postofce and against
the Kent Island proving grounds for the United
States War Department.
As to the Salisbury Postoffce Building.
The city of Salisbury has very handsome and
commodiols posto1ice facilities and was perfectly
satisfied with the same until Cambridge made appli-
cation for appropriation for postofice building.
Cambridge needed a new building and Salisbury did
not but Cambridge asked for apporpri-
alton Salisbury made strong fight and got the
thing that Cambridge did and actually succeeded in
getting $4,000 more In spite of conditions Mr..
Price who resides in Salisbury, has been attempting
to force through during the war the postoffce build
ing that the town does not need.
AS to the U. S. Government Proving Grounds
At Kent Island
When the United States entered into the great
World War it became necessary to make number of
large guns. After these guns were made it was
necessary to have a long range to test out the guns
and the ammunition for same so when they
shipped the for the of our brave boys
at the front they would be credit to boys and
Uncle Sam. The War Department looked all
the United States for location for proving grounds
and selected Kent Island the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. Arrangements We're made to take over
Kent Island for purposes. Price joined in
the fight and bitterly opposed tie efforts of the War
Department to locate proving grounds at Kent Is
land The Hon. Newton D. Baker Secretary Of War
with the approval of President Wilson made strong
fight to have Congress take Kent Island but Mr..
Price and others upset the plans Notwithstanding
we were at war and that every day lost would cost
the lives Of many of our brave boys the opposition of
Mr. Price and others delayed for several months the
procuring of the proving grounds for the United
States Government. When these grounds were Sc
lected they went to the Western Shore and millions
and millions of dollars have been spent in Hartford
county that might have come to the Eastern Shore
Mr. Andrews has not been opposing the
plans of President Wilson and his Cabinet.
For number of years the Eastern Shore district
had representative from Talbot county, the Hon.
j. Harry Covingon. For the past few years this dis
trlct mas lad a representative from NcOmlcO cOun-
ty There is good why the voters of Dor
chester County should be supporting a candidate
from Wicomico County when they have opportu-
nifty to elect a Congressman from Dorchester. Mr..
Andrews certainly will do for Dorchester
ty than Mr.. Price has done will do The voters
of Dorchester county should avail themselves of the
opportunity to elect Dorchester Congressman, and
regardless of party affiliations should turn out next
Tuesday and vote for Mr. Andrews to represent
them in Congress.
