WILL APPARENTLY HAVE
CONTROL OF BOTH LEGISLATIVE BODIES

The Democrats apparently will con-
troll both the Senate and House CT
Delegates and on joint ballot will elect
the next State Treasurer. On the
face of the returns they have chosen
eight new senators which, with the
holdover members. will give them 13
of the % votes in the Upper House,
and there are five counties still to
be heard from as to the final figures
on the Senate vote.
The Republicans elected three new
senators and as they have six hold
overs this will give them nine votes.
They must win all the five counties
which they have not yet finally re-
ported to get the II necessary TO con-
troll the new Senate.
The majority of the Democrats in
the House will not be large, but as
they lost it two years ago through

WOMEN TAKE Up
THE GAS QUESTION
Opinion Of Annapolis Women
On Bad Gas To Be Aired
At Mass Meeting
HELD TOMORROW NIGHT

The mass meeting Of the Women's 5
Civic League to be held in the Old
Senate Chamber of the State House
on Thursday night promises to be Of
unusual interest and the committee
on arrangements feel that they have
been able to plan particularly good
program.
Mrs. Edward Shoemaker, the former
State chairman OF the council of de-
fense, needs no introduction to an An
napolis audience, as she has spoken
here on several occasions. Mrs. Shoe
maker will speak on the after-the-
war work of the Baltimore Civic
League.
Mrs. a. r. Wood. executive secre
tary of the Baltimore Civic League
who is the only woman on Governor
Harrington's committee to investigate
the high cost Of living, will speak
on the work they have been doing in
this connection. which should be espe
tally interesting to Annapolis house
keepers.
Mrs. Wood will be followed by
Mayor Levy and every one will wish
TO hear the new Mayor make his in
itial address to group Of representa-
tive women of the town.
Furthermore, in rnsnOnee to an in
vitation from the Civic League, e
Public Utilities Company will send
representative in the person of Mr.
Connolly, who will discuss the gas
conditions here of which so many com
plants have been made.
The WoMen's Civic League stands
for f1ir play and believing that there
are always two sides to every question
wished to give the gas company an
opportunity to present their side Of
the much-talked of gas situation, and
to hear from the women of Annap-
oils their opinion on the subject.
Many people do not understand how
gas is madea nd it should be most
interesting to have the process ex-
planned.
1t is understood that the present
company is suffering from certain con
ditions inherited from the former own
ers of the plant and that they are
planning extensive improvements.
Therefore let every woman who is
interested in the subject of Annapolis
gas is made and it should be most
like it to be. make an especial effort
70 be present on Thursday night.
Miss Katherine Walton, former
president of the Civic League, will
give talk on what the League has
accomplished in the past and what it
may accomplish in the future If the
women of the town will come forward
and stand together for better civic
conditions.
The meeting will be presided over
by Mrs. T. ]. Linthicum. second vice
president of the League.

LAST NIGHTS STORM
BROUGHT COLD WAVE

Between and 10 o'clock last night,
after a rather sultry, sticky, muggy
day. an electrical storm broke over the
town and the lightning flashed, thun-
der roared and rain poured down for
quite a half hour or longer.
The storm came with suddenness
and was a surprise to many who were
caught out in it. The flash of the
lightning and peals of thunder came
as a great surprise at the offstart of
winter.
A strong northwest wind accom-
panied the storm, and the temperature
dropped perceptibly. Today there is
a marked change in the atmosphere
and so far it has been the coldest
day of autumn.

FALSE ALARM OF FIRE
Firemen Respond In Chilly
Morning But No Fire
MISTAKE ALL AROUND

What proved to be a false alarm of
fire shortly after / O'Clock this morn
ing, brought out all three companies
of the volunteer fire department of
the city with their apparatus
The fire was reported to be in the
Duke of Gloucester apartments, corner
Duke Of Gloucester and Green streets.
and here the engine of No. 2 Inde
pendent fire company only few
yards away, stationed itself.
Upon investigation it was found
there was no fire. Immediately the
firemen, many of whom had been
called out of a warm bed on a very
cold early morning. began to seek in
formation as to where the alarm prov
ing to be false one, came from, and
who turned it in.
All alarms come through the tele
phone company, especially at such an
hour The exchange stated the mum
ber turning in the alarm was "320,"
but as this is the City Clerks o1ice
and that Office had practically been
closed most of the day, being election
day, it was impossible to have turned
in an alarm from 800. which Office was
securely locked. This information
was given out this morning at the
headquarters of No. Independent
Fire Company.
Upon inquiry at the Office of Mr.
Clemson, local manager of the c. & P
Telephone Company Mr.. Clemson said
they had been so busy at the offict
today with election returns. that the
matter had not been gone into as t
the turning in of the false alarm last
night. but it would be thoroughly in
vestigated as soon as possible.
Mr.. Clemson said it was his opinion
that it was not done intentionally, bu'
that some one coming by the Glou
cester apartments and seeing a bright
light at that hour of the morning
took it for fire and turned in the
alarm at the nearest telephone.

change the outcome in any way

Coolidge, Republican, in Massachu-
seets, by the largest majority ever
polled for a gubernatorial candidate
in that State, shared honors with the
dry victory in Ohio.
Kentucky was drawn into the Re
publican fold in the governorship fight,
but today's returns made it certain
that New Jersey had gone Democratic.
Maryland the only State in which
a serious fight for Governor was car
ried on, was in doubt throughout the
greater part of the morning when
the unofficial returns seemed to indi-
cate that the Democratic candidate
had won by small plurality.

The Need of a National Budget

In an era when an unprecedented price level
has set the whole world agog and made US wonder
when the apex will be reached, the national con-
gress could make no better move than to estab-
lsh a national budget, so that appropriations
could be made on a scientific basis instead of on
guess work Henry L. Stimson in an article in
the Worlds Work, presents many of the incon-
sistent features characterizng the making of
revenue bills and appropriation measures. He
says in part
If congress is to attempt the work of for
muating the budget at all, one would expect that
it would so organize itself as to accomplish that
almost impossible task conveniently as pos
sible. If a program is to be prepared by which
the money to be expended is to be simultaneously
raised by intelligent taxation, one would expect
that the appropriation bills would be considered
in connection with the revenue bills. They are
not They are handled by entirely different
committees which have organization for con-
ference.
Again, if congress is to assume the function
of initiating a program for the executive to fol-
low, one would expect that it would model its
committees according to the organization of the
executive so that each executive department
