Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1919-10-24

!" Jul next otate senator, Andrew j. Cum
mings.
have known both the Cummings and
waters families for many years. have
seen them both in victory and defeat, but
they were always loyal Democrats, and no
matter whether Bowie Waters or Cy Cum
mlngs had obtained the nomination, we
would have in either of them hieh-class
gentleman and an honest candidate to
represent our party this November. Two
years ago Mr.. Cummings oampaiened
throughout this county for our beloved
Senator Dawson Williams, and love Daw-
sons memory too well not TO know that he
would have wanted Democrat to fill out
his unexpired term.
have known Cy Cummings since both
OF US were boys. And while he is a few
years my senior, came in almost daily
contact with him while we we're growing
up, for we were raised on neighborine
farms in Bethesda district, and Andrew.
as he was then known, was always clean
boy, ready to do good turn for his friends,
and since he has become a man there is
possibly no single individual in the county
who has performed more kindnesses or
secured more positions for his fellow -coun-
tians. whether rich or poor, happy or in
trouble, than Mr.. Cummings. and you will
always find him the same old Cy whenever
or wherever you meet him.
And look at that four-cornered leeisla-
tive team, Barnsey, Candy, Griffith and
Walker all representative men and ready
to stand up for Montgomery's interests in
the House of Delegates. Jim. of Olney,
is the peoples candidate; Rust is the
flower of Colesville Charlie is Poolesville's
pride, and Crit is old Gaithersburg's stand
by. Put every one of these boys over the
top and we will have solid delegation at
Annapolis
We have now arrived at the offices whose
holders sit in the County Court House
Garrett, for States Attorney, and Mich
olson, for Sheriff, will be officers of law
and order, who will keep a certain element
of our population hustling all the time, for
John and Bud are both aggressive and
efficient.
And where, too, could will be probated
and administered upon more fairly than
before Judges Magruder, Tolson and West,
of the Orphans Court.
wonder If you thought had almost
forgotten that we had to elect two County
Commissioners on the Board this year.
Well. have not, for am vitality interested
in one of those myself, but will first call
your attention to my good friend and run
ming mate, Lawrence Chiswell, of Barnes
vile. to represent the Third district. He
is business man of ability and standing
and will make a valuable member of the
Board.
And as for the County Commissioner
ship of the Fourth district will, ladies
and gentlemen, if honored by election to
that Office through the voters of Montgom-
cry county, endeavor to faithfully perform
the duties reposed in me by the greatest
constituency in America. am interested in
churches. schools and good roads, Churches,
because they are moral uplift to both
the junior and senior citizenship. Schools,
because upon them depends the advance
ment of civilization, due to the education
and largely the directive mental influences
OF the rising generation. Good roods, be-
cause they are great commercial asset to
farmers and other business men and wom-
en- in hauling produce and merchandise to
a marketable location, and here, in the
shadow of the nations capital, there is no
reason why every section of Montgomery
county should not be placed in a position
to export and import independent of rail-
road facilities, necessary commodities to
and from ready market. and thus become,
as it is destined to be, one of the wealthiest
agricultural counties in the United States.
And now, my friends, in conclusion, if
you will journey to Rockville on the day
after election and visit the Fields Bros.
and Messrs. Almoney & Brewer, | think
you will find them in their respective press
rooms reading in big headline type which
had just been set up for the next issues of
the Sentinel and the Advocate" MARY
land has again gone Democratic and Mont
gomery did it. thank you.
