POLITICS HE TROURLE

From the Laurel State Register.
The purchase Of Governor Townsend's
farm near Selbyville as a site for the
proposed home Of the feebleminded Of
the State caused much unfsvorable
comment at first from persons who ap-
parently were not at sll familiar with
the proposition. For instance. many
thought the State funds were being
spent, but such was not the case The
money was contributed from private
sources and the commission was mere
ly appointed TO select the site for the
institution. The fact that they hap
pened to select the Townsend farm
seemed to suggest to certain individ-
uals and newspapers that in some way
the glvernor was profting thereby,
when as a matter Of fact the governor
really lost money for the reason that
he was asked to dispose Of property
which he had acquired the past few
years for certain developments in which
he was deeply interested

But the prince went TO TO say that
