FIND WET CLOUD in
OLD EASTERN SHORE

General Albert C. Ritchie, Democratic
candidate for Governor. and Thomas
J. Heating, Democratic candidate for
Attorney-General, In their campaign OF
the Eastern shore, were a leading at
traction at the WicomicO County Fair
yesterday. They have made the same
discovery that the Republican candi-
dates did-thst a reaction has set in
throughout this longtime dry section
against national prohibition.
The Eastern Shore. in 1902 was the
place where "dryness" which has since
spread all over the State started Then
IL was that Senator John Moore faith
er-in-law OF United States District At
torney Samuel X. Dennis, and close
political and personal friend OF United
States Senator John Walter Smith. put
through the bill drying up Worcester
county. From this the dry wave grew
and grew until, through the votes Of
all the Eastern Shore members OF the
last House and Senate, the Eighteenth
TO the Federal Constitution
was ratified by Maryland.
The Eastern Shore members were
afraid Of the Eastern Shore voters
then. but now the Eastern shore vot-
ers. who did not want John BarleycOrl
sold at their county crossroads store,
but at the same time had a mental
as to their right to pur-
chase a bit OF the "old gentlemans"
spirits in Baltimore and take 10 home
for private consumption, have changed
their minds. Naturally the Eastern
Shore candidate is doing the same
thing. Hence the Anti-Ssloon League
people have cause TO worry over re-
plies which may come into their ques-
.ionnaires on this subject. The candi-
iates are sitting up and taking no
